The Little Nyonya (DVD) (End) (English Subtitled) (US Version)
Hailed as “Singapore’s Dae Jang Geum“, 2008 drama The Little Nyonya is the 45th-anniversary celebration production for MediaCorp TV. A rare big-budget production for Singapore television, the government-sponsored series took two years to produce, and the efforts were rewarded with the highest ratings in the last decade, as well as 10 awards in the Star Awards 2009, including Best Drama Serial, Director, Screenplay, Actress, Newcomer, Editing, and Theme Song.
Written by Ang Eng Tee and directed by Zhang Rongmin, the 34-episode drama serial depicts the life of the Peranakan and their ethnic culture. Peranakan (or “Baba-Nyonya”) refers to the descendents of early Chinese immigrants in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, where “Baba” means men and “Nyonya” women. The storyline spans over 70 years from the 1930s to the present day, involving four generations of a big family portrayed by popular actors like Qi Yuwu (Painted Skin), Jeanette Aw (Rhythm of Life), Joanne Peh, Pierre Png, Yao Wenlong, and Lin Meijiao.
The deaf and mute Juxiang (Jeanette Aw) is a mistress in a large Peranakan family, who flees from home to marry a Japanese photographer named Yamamoto Yousuke (Dai Yang Tian). After their deaths during World War II, their beautiful daughter Yueniang (also Jeanette Aw) stays with her grandmother (Xiang Yun), who teaches her the fine Peranakan art of cooking and sewing. Yueniang’s beauty and culinary skills soon attract many rich suitors, but she only has eyes for Chen Xi (Qi Yuwu), a penniless driver….
