My first Singapore drama from this year and 9 month after the previous one! WOW That's really a long time ago! I chose this drama because I like mystery and cases!
Should we be happy with the ending or sad? Well it is a happy ending but the consequences are very hard! Well there won't be part 2! Thats for sure!
Great to see Jesseca Liu back on screen! Hope she's coming back with more dramas!
First time I see Thomas Ong in an 'evil' role! Well in Metamorphosis he was also 'evil' but with a good heart! Here he was just a bastard!! That you want to slap!
And must say one of my first time I like Christopher Lee's character! Lawrence Wong is very cute!!
My first time seeing Julie Tan on screen! Sorry for her fans! She really have to improve! She's not acting but reading her script!
The Theme & Sub songs by Anthony Neely were also in Taiwanese drama Channel X! It was just so weird! When I hear the songs it remind me more to Xiao Lu & An!

Chinese: 黄金路 English: The Golden Path Genre: Drama Episodes: 30 Country: Singapore Year: 2007/2008 Rating: 8.6
My though: The serie was a great! Although I'm not really like the timeline and the ending! It's possible to make the serie longer but I think that will be bored for the viewers, but in this way the story was to rush in the last 10 episodes. Everybody want a happy ending, but I can't say from this serie. I think it's maybe better to give the viewers an unacceptable ending, but that's not what we wish!
View On the Main Cast: Chen Li Ping: She played very well, but how later in the serie. How less we see from her! The strong acting in the beginning making a little bit disappointment later. Her nomination for Best Actress was really deserve for only the beginning of the serie! Although She played the mother in the serie, but due her age and the other co-stars it was really NOT! Li Nan Xing:Why he isn't nominated for Best Actor? He was really good in this serie! His co-operation with Cai Pei Xuan & Felicia Chin was really good! But as stepson from Chen Li Ping? LOL their age are average. Tay Ping Hui: Masterclass acting!! This is actually the first time I see him in a bad role! But it was really fabulous! Although I'm not really like his character! So Cruel! His nomination for Best Actor was really deserved!! Chew Chor Meng: My first serie of him. His acting is really great! But wasn't it a little bit too less to won the Best Supporting Actor awards!? His onscreen scenes weren't many but many enough to win it! Felicia Chin: I must say I'm not really like Felicia onscreen. I also must say her acting and character in here were very good! Her nomination for Best Actress was also deserved! Cai Pei Xuan: She's my favo and this the first serie I watch from her! Her acting is great! And his co-operation with Li Nan Xing was also great! Her nomination for Best Supporting Actress was really really deserved! Although She didn't got any change to The Little Nyonya's nomination Joanne Peh: Her role in here was a small one. I though she got more because she's also a part from the family. But when I count her screen time is actually average like the one from Joey Feng Joey Feng: She's the newcomer of the serie! Second Runner Up of Miss Singapore 2007! I must say she's pretty good for her first performance!

Summary: The story is set in the early 80s. The protagonist, ‘Xiao Gu’, is a young widow with 3 children. Together, the family of 4 set up a street hawker stall, “Happy Restaurant” in Chinatown, selling cooked food. Xiao Gu gets to know a guy, named Ah Jin. Although he seems to be trustworthy, in reality he is a robber.
On the day of their marriage, Ah Jin’s involvement in the robbery of a blacksmith factory is brought to light, and in the tussle with the police, he is fatally wounded. On his deathbed, he pleads with Xiao Gu to take care of his 2 children, a son and a daughter. With her ever optimistic approach to life, Xiao Gu readily takes on the challenge of raising the 5 children.
With Xiao Gu’s capability, she not only succeeds in running “Happy Restaurant”, but also ventures into the coffeshop and wet market businesses. While things seem to be finally looking up for Xiao Gu, her 5 grown up children on the other hand, are either plagued by financial woes or are entangled with affairs of the heart…
Xiao Gu’s elder son, Kaida is a medical student while her 2nd son, Kaiji is studying law. Her youngest child and only daughter, Kaiqi is also an undergraduate. While her own children seem to have a bright future ahead of them, the same cannot be said of Ah Jin’s off springs.
Ah Jin’s son, Jinlong has a carefree nature, and does not have any direction in life. As for his daughter, Jinfeng, she has her mind set on being a TV artiste, and is therefore not interested in pursuing her studies.
Except for Kaiqi, Jinlong has always regarded Xiao Gu and her family with enmity, thinking that she is somewhat responsible for his father’s death and that she has made use of his father’s loot to rise to riches. While he has a secret liking for Kaiqi, as a result of their disparity in station, Jinlong keeps his feelings for Kaiqi to himself.
Although Jinlong is at loggerheads with Kaijie, his sister, Jinfeng on the other hand, is especially on close terms with him. Jinlong suspects that Kaijie has a hand in the sudden drowning of Jinfeng. He breaks away from the Huang family, and goes astray. He joins the secret society, and after some time, rises to be the infamous ‘Loan shark King’.
As for Kaijie, he joins the police force after graduating with a law degree. He makes a name for himself in the police force, after having led a number of successful operations. At the opposing ends of the law, Jinlong and Kaijie’s feud continues.
Kaida discovers that Kaijie is responsible for Jinfeng’s death. However, he decides to cover up for his brother. Saddled by guilt, he soon becomes mentally affected, and is unable to fulfil his dream of becoming a doctor. After her graduation, Kaiqi becomes a journalist. While researching the crimes of the underworld, Kaiqi learns that Jinlong is already one of the underworld chiefs. She tries to persuade Jinlong to leave the underworld, but to no avail as he reasons that he has already ventured onto path of no return….
The friction between Jinlong and Kaijie intensifies. Forced by circumstances, Jinlong has to leave Singapore. As for Kaijie, following investigation by his superiors, he has also gone into hiding. After much effort, Jinlong manages to trace the whereabouts of Kaijie, with the intention of killing him. However, in the end, he changes his mind, and instead returns to Singapore to give himself up.
For the past 20 years, in spite of the various challenges that come her way, Xiao Gu has always take them in her stride. She sells all her properties and donates the proceeds to charities. Together with Kaida who is recovering from his mental illness, she re-starts the “Happy Restaurant” business.
Being ever optimistic, Xiao Gu still stands by her personal belief and dictum: “A day passes whether you laugh or cry. So, shouldn’t you choose to laugh your day away instead?” [credits to mediacorp.tv]

I'm totally outdate! Where can I get the newest serie of Singapore! I'm trying so hard to find it! I started with an old Singapore serie from 2007/2008 The Golden Path aka 黄金路
The story is set in 1982 and throught the 30 episodes it will spinning 25 years long. Its a story about the Family Huang & Jin, who embroiled in conflicts of interest, webs of deceit, love, hatred and vengeance.
The cast is big: Chen Li Ping, Li Nan Xing, Tay Ping Hui, Chew Chor Meng, Felicia Chin, Cai Pei Xuan, Joanne Peh, Joey Feng, Nat Ho, Wang Yu Qing, Priscilla Chan, Alen Tern, Huang Wen Yong and Guest Starring Edmund Chen, Joey Swee, Huang Yi Liang.
My view is on Cai Pei Xuan! She was nominated for best supporting actress @ Star Awards 2009 for this role! And I'm kind of curious of her acting! This is also my first serie of her.
Also my first serie of Chew Chor Meng He won the best supporting actor @ Star Awards 2009 for this role! Curious of his acting! Because he's already a veteran!
I'm not so into Felicia Chin. So I hope her role in here is better than I hope and was it really a nomination for Best Actress @ Star Awards 2009 worth? Same questions marks are also for Chen Li Ping!
Joanne Peh is one of my favorite in here! She's only a supporting role! Hope she got many screentime!
