Check out Xinmsn's report for the Media Conference cum Roadshow here. We got more information for Carrie Wong's character in 118. She plays Zhang Ke'ai, the illegitimate daughter of Chan Tian Wen's character. That makes her half-sibling to Dawn Yeoh & Nick Teo's character. Carrie was not present during the imaging session and lensing ceremony as she was busy filming The Journey 2. Her character is described as a village girl from Penang and I'm guessing her potential love interest to be Xu Bin. In case you're wondering, no, they are not blood-cousins as she is not Liu Ling Ling's daughter. Sora Ma is also another character without much information. Both Sora and Carrie have not started filming 118, but Sora describes her appearance will spoil the relationship of the 118 family. Villain, no? I'm also guessing her potential love interest to be Zhou Chong Qing. Snippets of Roadshow cum Media Conference from TodayOnline: |
Hu Weiren (Chen Han Wei), a street gangster and conman, is a person who would do anything to take advantage of others or to save his own skin. To protect himself, he turned to the Japanese during the Japanese Occupation and even caused Tianying’s death. As he has lost his son, he is desperate to adopt Hu Jia as his son, when Hu Jia’s parents have died. Although he is a bad man, he is sincere to Hu Jia and truly cares about him and also taught Hu Jia all the unorthodox tricks he knew. |
Casts from Season 1:

About Tumultuous Times...
With the death of Tianying and Huiniang during the Japanese occupation, Zhang Min and Zhang Jia planned to go to Ipoh to seek shelter at Hong Shi’s and his wife Yazi’s place. En route to Ipoh however, Zhang Min and Zhang Jia were separated and the latter was severely wounded. After being rescued by Hu Weiren, Zhang Jia acknowledged the latter as his father, with hope of seeking revenge for his father’s death. Growing up by Hu Weiren’s side, the intelligent and agile Hu Jia learnt much about triads and shady dealings, and came into his own within a matter of years.
Anti-colonialism sentiments were high after World War II. Zhang Yan and Dangyong, who were once close as brothers, drifted apart as both had different opinions on how Singapore should achieve independence. Dangyong joined the leftists, while Zhang Yan on the other hand, chose to join Lim Yew Hock’s government, seeking to wrestle for political power in a peaceful manner. As Zhang Yan scaled the political ladder, he began to lose himself, starting to make merry with the powers that be, engaging in debauchery and taking bribes on the side. He was also in charge of revoking the license of the Association of Secondary Schools and taking action against students in Sep 1956. This pit Zhang Yan face-to-face against Dangyong and Hu Jia, and the tense situation is about to erupt any minute…
