Baby Boom

Duration: 20x60mins

Following their collaboration in Unbeatables III, Zoe Tay and Li Nanxing will once again play a married couple in this melodrama about middle-age yuppie couples who would rather pursue a stylish lifestyle than to start a family. The drama also traces a quartet from their birth to their school years and looks at how working parents cope with children.

Both Tim (played by Li Nanxing) and Kim (played Zoe Tay) are successful in their careers and see having a child as a burden to climbing up the corporate ladder. However, during their 38th birthday celebration, it dawns on them that they no longer share things in common with their friends and relatives. They then decide to start a family. Their decision to have a child thrills their parents who have been longing for a grandchild. A visit to the doctor reveals that Kim is expecting not one, not two but four babies! The thought of having 4 kids at a go proves too much for Tim and Kim who decide to keep to their one child policy. But an argument soon erupts because they cannot agree on whether to keep a boy or a girl and their parents are against abortion. Having four kids mean a change in lifestyle such as giving up their 2-seater sports car for a 7-seater MPV. Will Tim and Kim get use to their new lifestyle and cope with parenthood?

Baby Boom also stars Michelle Saram of Meteor Gardens II and Gurmit Singh of the award winning sitcom, Phua Chu Kang, in his first Mandarin-speaking role. Gurmit plays the flirtatious Benny whose wife (played by Pan Lingling) walks out on him after she catches him with another woman.
