This is the 4th collaboration between Malaysia’s ntv7, and
Singapore’s Mediacorp Ch 8. It is a remake of the 2005 Singapore
drama, ‘My Lucky Charm’ 情来运转, which starred Huang
Biren, Chen Hanwei, Chew Chor Meng, Mary Bukoh, Jeanette Aw, Allan
Wu, Michelle Chong, Zheng Geping, Cavin Soh, Margaret Lee, Michelle
Liow, Jesseca Liu
Huang Biren won Best Actress in Star Awards
2005 for her role as Lucky, a compulsive gambler who has
no interest in her personal hygiene, and is constantly owing money
to many people, so much so that she runs out of food to eat, and
her electricity gets cut off.
Singapore actors acting in this remake include: Pan Ling Ling,
Zheng Geping, Dawn Yeoh
Zheng Geping played Lucky’s husband in the show, but he died on
their wedding night, for Lucky drove the car which went out of
control for the brakes were tampered with.
The main theme of ‘My Lucky Charm’ was tai-chi,
and the original title was actually called ‘The Tai-chi Lass’,
while the sub-themes were the money making ventures of Chew Chor
Meng’s character, a love rectangle between Jeanette Aw, Allan Wu,
Jesseca Liu, and Michelle Chong, as well as the great pairing of
Huang Biren and Chen Hanwei.
In this remake, Dawn Yeoh plays Jeanette Aw’s character, a girl
with body odour. But instead of specialising in tai-chi, the theme
of this show is now kong-fu. Zheng Geping does not reprise his role
in the remake, but plays Chen Hanwei’s role. Chen Hanwei’s role was
that of a sissy, but Zheng Geping will not be playing a sissy.
