Growing Up(1996)

Growing Up is an award-winning Singaporean drama set against the social upheaval of the 1960s and 70s. The series follows the Tay family as stern patriarch Mr Tay fights to preserve tradition while modernisation threatens to unravel their bonds. Early seasons are marked by devastating losses—Mrs Tay's death, Vicki's divorce from her unfaithful husband, and David's emigration to England—alongside milestones like Tammy's university graduation and Gary's marriage to Karen. The latest season deepens the family's turmoil when Gary's infidelity surfaces, Karen experiences a miscarriage, and Vicki's son is diagnosed with leukaemia. New characters arrive in the form of Mr Tay's romantic interest and Gary's mistress, adding fresh layers of conflict to the family's ongoing struggle.
