Ernest Chong plays the challenging role of Luo Jin Yu’s son, who suffered from meningitis, causing brain damage and leaving him with a stunted mentality.
Ever since Luo Jin Yu was born, she was destined to live an extraordinary life. The eldest daughter of Luo Jin Hua and Li Xiu Zhi (Jess Teong), with three younger brothers and one younger sister, her mother gave birth to her during a misfortune where her house was burnt down. Her mother had no choice but to give birth to her in a theater. When her father discovers that Jin Yu has broken life lines on her palms, which is a sign of bad luck, he blames all their miseries on Jin Yu. Jin Yu is not loved by her parents. Due to her poor family background, she is forced to stop schooling during her secondary school, and to work at a factory to earn money. She is often forced to give most of her hard-earned money to her mother.
Jin Yu grew up with her childhood friend, Wen Qi Bing, and she dreams of building a happy family with him in the future. However, one of the workers in the factory – Wang De Cheng (Steve Yap) – likes Jin Yu and starts pursuing her. Jin Hua agrees to marry Jin Yu off to De Cheng, so that he can use the bridal price to pay his debts. Jin Yu tries to protest by asking Qi Bing to elope with her, but he ends up bringing her parents to persuade her. Due to her disappointment with Qi Bing’s action and the begging of her parents, she finally agrees to marry De Cheng, not realizing that this is the beginning of her miserable fate.
Something happened...
After marriage, Jin Yu tries her best to be a good wife despite ill treatment from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. However, after De Cheng opens a car repair factory, he started to change into a prideful, selfish person due to the bad influence from his friends and starts cheating on her, even going as far as to infect her with a sexually transmitted disease when she is pregnant with her first child. Jin Yu thinks of getting an abortion as she is worried about the impact of the disease towards the development of her unborn child. Her mother-in-law, Qiu Lian, tried to repair the relationship between the husband and wife to persuade Jin Yu to keep the child. Jin Yu finally gives birth to a lovely baby boy, Jie Ming (Ernest Chong).
What is she trying to do?
Jie Ming however becomes a mentally-challenged child after contracting a high fever due to Qiu Lian’s neglect and De Cheng’s superstition. When a fireworks factory near their home explodes, De Cheng tries to abandon Jie Ming. It was then that Jin Yu decided that she will not suffer in silence or be maltreated anymore. She decided to stand up and fight for herself and swears to never give up on Jie Ming.
She later makes use of her talent in writing and starts working in a local daily where the assistant editor motivates Jin Yu to become an independent woman and that she can pursue her dreams. Later on, through Li Hua’s introduction, Jin Yu meets a Hong Kong scriptwriter and under his guidance, she becomes a scriptwriter.
Jin Yu also has a daughter, Shan Shan (Joey Leong), who is treated as a lucky star by her father and pampered since young. Shan Shan is jealous of her brother because Jin Yu pays him more attention, resulting in Shan Shan often rebelling against Jin Yu.

Airin Zainul, Group General Manager of ntv7 & 8TV, says, “Destiny in Her Hands is another quality offering from ntv7, set in the 1960’s right up until present day. The well-crafted drama portrays how the main character is ahead of her time, choosing to believe in herself and setting her own destiny rather than crumble under the naysayers."
She continues, “As with all our local dramas, viewers can expect lots of riveting moments. Rivalries between two generations, complex relationships and above all, the belief that one will triumph against all adversities, are among the chief ingredients that make Destiny in Her Hands not to be missed.”
Airin adds, “We would also like to thank Pensonic for their collaboration with us in making this show a success.”
Pensonic, one of the country’s largest manufacturers and distributors of home electrical appliances, collaborates with ntv7 in this drama and sponsors billboards in four different locations – Klang Valley (Jalan Kewajipan and LDP-SS2), Penang (Wellesley School), and Johor Bahru (Jalan Tebrau/ Jalan Kuning/ Pelangi Shopping Complex) in a joint effort to further promote the show.
