This drama series is entertaining in the way it lightly touches on issues that plague the heartlanders of Singapore as it takes viewers into the lives of two hawkers selling fishball noodles in a food centre. You Cai (San Yow), an honest man whose name translates to wealth, experiences bad business and lives with a wife that constantly bullies his 70 year-old mother; on the other hand, Wu Yin (Hanwei Chen) rakes in the profits on his fishball noodles, providing a luxurious life for his ageing father and his virtuous wife. Things take a dramatic twist when their luck suddenly exchanges places. What is Wu Yin capable of to regain his fortune? Will good eventually triumph over evil? This heartwarming plot reflects the hardship that ordinary folks face from rising costs of living, the impact an ageing population has on society and the indulgent mood of the younger generation, among many other current issues that plague the modern society every day.
