In Singapore, it made its debut on 23 September 2008 and ended on 3 November 2008, and was screened on every weekday night at 7:00 pm.

This drama is a remake of the 2000 TCS drama My Home Affairs (家事), which starred Zoe Tay, Tay Ping Hui, Evelyn Tan, Aileen Tan, Xiang Yun, and Chen Guohua.

Set in the busy suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, the story revolves around the Hong family: Hong Quan and his wife Ping and their three sons and two daughters. Together, husband and wife run a bakery-cum-cafe with their first daughter-in-law.

Jiawen is the oldest son and child and works as a contractor. Timid ("kiasee" 怕死) by nature, the 35-year-old is often at odds with his wife Ah Ling over money, amongst many other issues, but is kind and compassionate by nature. Unfortunately his kindness towards an employee was misinterpreted by his wife as sexual interest.

Shuxian, the second child and older daughter, has her own business and seems to have finally found her beau at age 30. She had vowed not to marry after getting dumped by her fiance on the eve of their wedding. Husband Siyu seems like a perfect match but their marriage goes down the drain once they settle down.

Second son Jiakang, 29, works as a manager and is happily married to Feng Yuhan, a hotel public relations manager. Both are high-flyers in their respective work places but it soon poses a problem to their marriage. The timid Jiakang has to contend with a domineering secretary who takes pleasure in taking advantage of him. Yuhan previously had an abortion as it interfered with her work, which devastated her husband. He confides in Yao Shanshan, a colleague, who is kind and gentle by nature. Before long, he finds himself unable to choose between the two women.
