Family Matters (Chinese: 法庭俏佳人) is a 2006 Singaporean Mandarin television drama series which was aired on Mediacorp TV Channel 8. Starring Ivy Lee and Thomas Ong, the series depicts the lives of two lawyers who specialise in divorce cases in the Family Court of Singapore, and also their romance which is fraught with troubles.
As a child, Zhao Shuyang (Ivy Lee) was adopted by Zheng Zhigang (Chen Shucheng) when her parents got separated and remarried. Under Zheng's mentorship, Shuyang grew up to become a promising lawyer, specializing in divorce cases.
Having experienced the deep love and warmth from her adoptive parents and stepbrother, Zheng Weilun (Terence Cao), Shuyang still yearns to marry despite past hurts and disappointments. Her stepbrother, Weilun, has been trying to woo Shuyang but to no avail, because Shuyang has no feelings for him at all because she only has an eye for Gao Ming.
However, Shuyang's faith and beliefs are greatly shaken when she finds out about Gao Ming (Thomas Ong), her adopt father's illegitimate son. To make matters worse, she finds herself falling for the ever-flamboyant Gao Ming. Towards the end, she finds herself contracting stomach cancer and there is not much hope to be cured. Who would she choose: Gao Ming or Wei Lun?
In the last episode, Shuyang chose Gao Ming to be with her and Wei Lun went to jail due to some scandalous affairs. Shuyang managed to keep her condition in control by eating medicine and went for treatment and later survived after 1 year. Gao Ming And Shuyang then get married.
