Synopsis

[edit]

Chen Wufu (Chen Hanwei) is an orphan. He was adopted by a kind fisherman and his wife who have three daughters. Their daughters left for Singapore to work and subsequently married and settled in the city, leaving Wufu to care for his parents. Wufu is a kind-hearted man with simple needs, but his parents urged him to leave for the city to eke out his own living. His naive and trusting ways leads to many hilarious situations when he arrives in the city.

Wu Fu’s eldest sister, Chen Jiaxin (Cynthia Koh), holds three jobs to maximize her earning potential. When she loses her money in the stock market, she blames second sister Chen Jiayi (Tracy Lee) who encourages her to invest. Wu Fu’s attempts to mediate only make matters worse, Jiaxin falls out with her husband, Jiayi’s wedding is nearly ruined, and youngest sister Chen Jiahui’s (Ya Hui) career and love life also takes a hit from his meddling.

The three sisters are furious and try to get rid of him, but eventually, Wufu’s sincerity and steadfastness touches them. This comedy drama shows the importance of family ties and tugs the heart-string with its touching story.[1]
