Synopsis
Who’s the double-faced person?
Left with no choice but to live with her eldest son’s family, Bibik Bisu had borne grievances towards her daughter-in-law, Poh Geok after being ill-treated under her care. After a grave sickness befell Poh Geok, she mended her ways and turned over a new leaf. But Bibik Bisu’s unhappiness continued. The situation took a spiralling downturn when Bibik Bisu instigated her son to get a second wife, Betty, as Poh Geok was barren. The drama unfolds when Betty gave birth to the long awaited descendant of the family, and Betty naturally got into Bibik Bisu’s good books.
Will Poh Geok’s inner demons return to retaliate? Is Betty the willing and docile second wife? Who really is the double-faced person in the family?
