SHOW SYNOPSIS

Kin is a drama about the complexities of life, love and family relationships in contemporary Singapore, encompassing relatable stories and characters fortified and driven by suspenseful mysteries, moral dilemmas and twists in the tale. Kin promises tightly-paced compelling mysteries with red herrings that develop in tandem with the emotional drama of the growing bonds and relationships between two swapped-at-birth daughters and their real families, as well as with each other.

Episodes 1 – 243:

23 years ago, two baby girls, Ella and Yoke were switched at birth. It was not an accident. Who did it and why? Their mothers May Wan (55) and Jessica (55) attempt to unravel the truth as they grapple with birth-daughters who are their polar opposites in every way – one privileged and elitist, the other rough around the edges and with a penchant for getting into trouble. Is blood truly thicker than water? These four characters put nature vs nurture to the test. 

Episodes 244 – current:

5 years have passed since Yoke and Ella had their lives turned upside-down when they returned to be with their rightful families after having been swapped at birth. Now, Yoke has seemingly embraced her role as a status-conscious, high society Shelley, assuming a leadership role in the family business. Ella has accepted her fate as a member of the salt of the earth, working-class Loh family but struggles to make something of her life. Has the nature vs nurture battle run its course or are relationships between the families still as fraught and complicated as ever? The Lohs, Shelleys, Hassans, and Balas have overcome personal loss, incarceration, as well as estrangement of their loved ones; yet lingering tensions remain. Mysteries continue to unfold as characters pursue their individual agendas, while emotional drama abounds as surprising twists are revealed that threaten the stability to which they have become accustomed.
