Story
A young Yixin( Fann Wong) watches her father get stabbed to death in a park by a teen delinquent Jiansheng (Thomas Ong) who is later sentenced to 17 years in jail. Psychologically scarred by the memory of her father's death, Yixin grows up bitter and vengeful, even though she appears docile and sweet outwardly. When Jiansheng is released, she discovers that he is in fact the son of a wealthy family, and embarks on a mission to sow discord between him and his family.
Little does she realise that Jiansheng comes from a troubled background. He and his brother Jianwei lived in fear of their alcoholic and violent father. One day, their mother, Esther, decides to escape with the children but unfortunately leaves Jiansheng behind. Later, Esther remarries and leaves for America with Jianwei. Thinking that she has abandoned him, Jianshen develops a hatred for his mother.
Meanwhile, Jianwei grew up and became a playboy. He returns to Singapore, where he meets the cool and mysterious Joe Ann. Jiansheng meets Yixin and love blossoms between them. They try to get their girlfriends to meet other but always in vain. Before long, the brothers realise that Yixin and Joe Ann look alike. Was a case of an 'evil twin' or could they be the same person?
