Imaging sessions were done in the month of December 2015. New daddy Shaun Chen plays a lawyer who sets out to take revenge against a father he grew up hating. This is his first role after his Star Awards 2015 Best Actor win, not before he completed filming ''The Journey: Our Homeland'', and his second onscreen couple collaboration with Best Actress Rebecca Lim, after ''The Dream Makers''. On the other hand, Jeanette Aw plays an ambitious, driven career woman, which was different from the other roles she has portrayed over the years. In a Toggle interview, she said, "I used to play characters with gentle exteriors but tough personalities, but for Huishan it’s the opposite. She doesn’t display her weaknesses or tell anyone of the difficulties she faces." Hong Kong veteran actor, Hugo Ng, who played in Singaporean dramas ''Takeover'' and ''Men of Valour'' in the 1980s, returns to Singapore screens for the drama, playing a wealthy businessman who hires the characters of Aw, Rebecca Lim and Ian Fang as his son and daughters. He and his family returned to Singapore, as his son will be enlisted for National Service the following year.<ref>{{cite news|author=Teo Sijia|title=Ian Fang aspires to a career as a rap artist|url=http://entertainment.toggle.sg/en/localbuzz/article/ian-fang-aspires-to-a-5965832|publisher=Toggle|date=8 December 2015|access-date=28 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160113103631/http://entertainment.toggle.sg/en/localbuzz/article/ian-fang-aspires-to-a-5965832|archive-date=13 January 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=方伟杰自夸写词本地无人能及沈惠怡首演富家女很尴尬|url=http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-5963928|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151215052540/http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-5963928|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 15, 2015|publisher=Toggle|date=8 December 2015|access-date=23 June 2016|language=Chinese}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Teo Sijia|title=Romeo Tan: It's flattering if a rich woman wants to support me|url=http://entertainment.toggle.sg/en/localbuzz/article/romeo-tan-it-s-flattering-5979120|publisher=Toggle|date=11 December 2015|access-date=28 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160723074810/http://entertainment.toggle.sg/en/localbuzz/article/romeo-tan-it-s-flattering-5979120|archive-date=23 July 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=欧萱不受恶评困扰陈罗密欧不介意被包养|url=http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-5969544|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151215055307/http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-5969544|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 15, 2015|publisher=Toggle|date=10 December 2015|access-date=23 June 2016|language=Chinese}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Tammi Tan|title=Shaun Chen wants a second child as soon as possible|url=https://www.8days.sg/sceneandheard/entertainment/shaun-chen-wants-a-second-5981462?cid=toggle_8days_redirect|publisher=Toggle|date=12 December 2015|access-date=28 June 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=陈泓宇直追第二胎望老婆半年后再怀孕|url=http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-5979764|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151215002748/http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-5979764|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 15, 2015|publisher=Toggle|date=12 December 2015|access-date=23 June 2016|language=Chinese}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=林慧玲望另一半爱家罗美仪找冯伟衷当"军师"|url=http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-6017654|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151220210701/http://entertainment.toggle.sg/zh/celebrityfeature/default-6017654|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2015|publisher=Toggle|date=19 December 2015|access-date=23 June 2016|language=Chinese}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=儿子明年回国服役吴岱融回流拍戏定居狮城|url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/entnews/default-6052498|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160829002801/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/entnews/default-6052498|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 29, 2016|publisher=Toggle|date=28 December 2015|access-date=28 June 2016|language=Chinese}}</ref>
