Yvonne Lim; Once Arrogant But Not Anymore

When I was younger I dont really like Yvonne Lim. She's really good at acting but her personality doesn't really shine. I used to think that she's arrogant.

I shall not indulge any further to why I thought she was arrogant but now, my opinion on her has changed.

Yvonne Lim returns to our small screen as a betel nut babe whose life takes a complete turn after she acknowledges her long-lost father in Singapore, incurring the wrath of her half-sister, played by Fiona Xie in her first bitchy role.

I have to admit she's really good playing the bad girl.

Li Shanqi (Yvonne Lim) grew up in Taiwan and earned a living as a betel nut seller. She is forced to flee the country when she accidentally offends an underworld leader. With her late mother's belongings, she travels to Singapore to look for her birth father, Zhang Mingsheng (Chen Shu Cheng).

Mingsheng is a jewelry merchant with a wife Chen Yuchun (Jin Yin Ji) and daughter Zhang Meiya (Fiona Xie). Following the family business, the intelligent but self-centered Meiya becomes a jewelry designer.

A string of unfortunate events befall Shanqi after she arrives in Singapore. First, she has an unhappy encounter with entrepreneur Yang Zhiyun (by Pierre Png); then, she is mistaken for a prostitute and held in the police station. When she is released, she manages to get into a jewelry exhibition organised by Meiya to look for her father. However, she is mistaken for a thief and given a dressing down in public by Meiya. Not one to take things lying down, she retaliates against Meiya.

Mingsheng, by sheer chance, recognizes Shanqi's late mother's belongings. Moreover, Shanqi looks exactly like her late mother. When he questions her in private, Shanqi tells the truth but Mingsheng is not sure what to believe.

Yeah, it's a must watch!
