Like my Own

Duration: 13x30mins

In her very first English contemporary drama, Flora Chan stars as Mabel Lim, a free-spirited Child Welfare Officer who believes in bringing up a child using contemporary methods. Conflicts arise when she places 15 year-old Xiao Cai under the care of the Wong family.

Mrs Wong (played by veteran actress Zhu Mimi) manages her household with tyranny and age old rules, contradicting Mabel’s modern approach to a child’s upbringing. As more foster children are placed under the care of the authoritative Mrs Wong, Mabel becomes increasingly concerned about the physical and psychological wellbeing of these children. Sparks and chopsticks fly as the two experience several run-ins with the other.

Will young Xiao Cai be caught in this cross-fire? How does Mrs Wong’s own son Wei Jun (Tin Chokkamolkij) cope in a family full of strangers? And is there a soft side beneath Mrs Wong’s hard and no-nonsense veneer?

Like My Own is a heartwarming story about a mother's love for kids who aren’t her own and the sacrifices that she’s willing to make in order to protect them.
