[theblackhole]

Jeanette acted very well....falling in love with her already...so sweet, so innocent,so beautiful and so demure....heads over heals in love with here oledie.....HELP!!!!

Jeanette Aw as Huang Juxiang and Yue Niang

She has to portray two different characters in the drama – Huang Juxiang (Mother) and Yue Niang (Daughter). Huang Juxiang is not easy to play because she is deaf-mute though very pleasant looking. Huang Juxiang is also a virtuous woman who is excellent at cooking and sewing. Later in the show, she marries a Japanese photographer (played by Dai Yang Tian) and gives birth to Yue Niang (also played by Jeanette).

Yue Niang looks exactly like her mother and takes after her positive traits. Also a good cook, she stays at her grandmother's house (played by Xiang Yun) after the death of her mother. Her love interest is Chen Xi (played by Qi Yuwu) but was forced to marry Liu Yi Dao instead (played by Yao Wen Long). Unexpectedly, she becomes sworn siblings with Yi Dao and helped to save the family's declining business.

Cynthia Koh as Xiu Juan

She is the younger sister of Xiu Feng (played by Pan Ling Ling) and fancies Jin Cheng (played by Darren Lim).

She is bitchy,witchy and sexy...wow! fierce frenching and flirting with Darren...acted well as a sexy bitch....shiok to watch her too.

Joanne Peh as Huang Yuzhu

A kind and gentle girl who is best friend to Yue Niang, Yuzhu also teaches Yue Niang to read and write. Although she also fancies Chen Xi, she knows that she has no place in his heart except for Yue Niang. Instead, she tries to matchmake them. She later goes into depression after having to marry a man she doesn’t like as she was raped by him…

Acted very well...better looking on screen....kind-hearted girl but ended with a miserable life. Always helpful and compassionate...this type of girl makes good wife.Always willing to help people and does not have any airs at all....

Lin Mei Jiao as Gui Hua

She is evil and easily jealous. Gui Hua hates Juxiang and treats her daughter Yue Niang as a maid. She often scolds and beats her.

She acted very well - merciless,cruel and the great matriarch in the family.It's high time she is rewarded for being the Best Actress after so many years.

Mei Jiao is a very talented and versatile actress.

Apple Hong as Huang Meiyu

As the eldest daughter of the Huangs, she is also the wife of Chen Sheng (played by Pierre Png). Unfortunately, Chen Sheng does not exactly fancy her despite after marriage. Feeling a little depressed, she also plays a part in breaking Yue Niang and Chen Xi…

Poor wife, how come Chen does not want to make love to her?

Poor Apple Hong!

Eelyn Kok as Huang Zhenzhu

Zhenzhu is a selfish and pampered girl who resorts to dirty tricks on Yue Niang in order to marry Chen Xi. When she witnessed her sister Yuzhu was raped by Robert, she refuses to save her. She finally gets to marry Chen Xi, but is unable to secure a place in his heart…

Good acting by Evelyn Kok - bitchy and quite naughty.

Xiang Yun as Tian Lan

The mother of Juxiang, she is a maid of the Huangs. She later marries Huang Yuan as a mistress. Giving birth to a deaf-mute Juxiang causes her to be looked down upon and is frequently discriminated. Although she is the second wife in the family, her status in the family is of no difference as the maid.

Excellent veteran actress - a tear-jerker actress. I would give her an oscar for her excellent acting as an oppressed mistress and mother of a deaf-mute daughter.Very touching acting that can make you shed tons of tears.

Darren Lim as Huang Jin Cheng

He is the son of Huang Yuan and Gui Hua. His character is indifferent and afraid of trouble. Originally, he likes Xiu Juan but is arranged to marry her sister, Xiu Feng instead. Later in the show, he causes the Huangs to be bankrupt after he elopes with Xiu Juan who later came back from England.

Good acting by Darren - gigolo attitude with an eye for sexy ladies.

Huang Hui as Ah Tao

Ah Tao is the maid of the Huangs who often says the wrong things and becomes a laughing stock. She is very close to Juxiang and her daughter, Yue Niang. Later, while she is delivering Juxiang’s dowry, she is beaten up and becomes lame. A loyal maid, she follows Yue Niang all the way till she is 90 and still refuses to leave her.

Great acting by Huang Hui. I'll nominate her for Best Supporting Actress.Great acting for her role as the oppressed maid. Very impressive and very promising actress.

Pan Lingling as Xiufeng

Wife to Jincheng, Xiufeng listens to her mother-in-law’s every word. She will do whatever she can to marry her two daughters off to wealthy families, even if it’s at Yueniang’s expense. She suffers a terrible shock when she finds out that her husband is having a clandestine affair with her sister Xiujuan.

One of the best looking actresses around.But she acted quite old here and not very impressive.Acting is okay but not very impressive. Another veteran actress.

Desmond Sim as Charlie Zhang

Though a descendent of an affluent Peranakan family, Charlie is Westernised and despises the Baba tradition. A shrewd businessman, he goes to unscrupulous means to get his way and has no qualms making use of women.

I like his leacherous acting - very impressive and very demonic. Great role - hope he gets the Best Supporting Actor award. Great acting.His eyes pierced into the ladies' hearts!!! Quite scary this fella! But good acting nevertheless.

Dai Yang Tian as Yamamoto Yousuke

Yamamoto Yousuke is a young Japanese photographer who opens a small photo studio in Singapore . He is kind-hearted and helpful. He falls in love with Juxiang after taking a shot of her unintentionally. Yousuke also helps Juxiang to break away from unscrupulous businessman Charlie Zhang. The two later get married and have a daughter, Yue Niang. While he returns to his hometown to visit his ailing father, he is forced to be a soldier. He then escapes from the war and returns to find Juxiang. Unfortunately, the Japanese make their way to conquer South East Asia . In order to protect both his wife and daughter, he is caught for escaping army and is killed by the Japanese.

Good acting by a poster boy! Young and handsome - ideal match for Juxiang!!! Very expressive and sexy eyes he got!!!

Qi Yuwu as Chen Xi

Yuwu is the male lead in The Little Nyonya. Young and capable, his character Chen Xi manages his family business well. He has frequent clashes with his Peranakan culture as he once lived in England, which gave him more freedom. Due to his family, he is unable to marry the woman of his dreams Yue Niang and decides to leave everything behind including his legitimate wife Huang Zhen Zhu (played by Eelyn Kok), family and his business.

Good acting by Yuwu. Loves Yue Niang but cannot marry her. True love is always painful.You cannot get the best of everything.This is the fate of this world.So live and let live...

Yao Wen Long as Liu Yi Dao

Liu Yi Dao is a butcher who cannot part with his knife. He is bald and likes to go around without a shirt. He is a man of a few words but is very loyal and keeps to his words. He is a filial child who lives with his mother and obeys whatever his mum says. His mum later likes Yue Niang and wants her to be her daughter-in-law. He tries to court Yue Niang to no avail. To prove his sincerity towards her, he even kills a tiger. Yue Niang refuses to budge and the two become sworn siblings instead. With the help of Yue Niang, Yi Dao later becomes a wealthy businessman.

Another veteran actor...good actingby Wen Long. Highly commented.

Pierre Png as Chen Sheng

The youngest uncle of Chen Yi, he is frivolous yet likes to uphold justice. Chen Sheng sees the need to preserve the Peranakan culture and likes Juxiang. However, he is forced to marry Mei Yu instead. As he has no feelings for Mei Yu, he spends his days away dancing and singing Malay poems outside after marriage.

Good acting by Pierre.Highly commented for his role as the unhappy husband who fell in love with Juxiang. A man with a kind and compassionate heart. Well done Pierre!

Zzen as Robert Zhang

Charlie Zhang’s son studied in England and is a cunning one like his father. After marrying Yuzhu, he tortures her to death and believes it was a clean job. Unexpectedly, Yueniang searches for the cause of Yuzhu’s death and is adamant on bringing justice to Robert. Thus, Robert hates Yueniang vehemently and is bent on killing her.

Like father like son - evil, demonic and lustful. Bad genes beget bad children.Good acting...
