  Unlucky Ploy   16 episodes When you're unlucky, stuff happens. Like things falling on your head.   Judging by its title, yo u might think this series from Thailand is about a cunning plan, but you’d be wrong. Ploy is a common enough name in Thailand—think  淑芬  in Taiwan or Mia in the US—one that happens to be the name of our unlucky protagonist. But that’s not all when it comes to Ploys. Because there’s also a Pretty Ploy here: perfect, good natured, successful—you know, the kind of girl we all hate. Both Ploys went to the same high school, grew up in the same village and now both are working together for the same company…with Pretty Ploy the supervisor of Unlucky Ploy.  Pretty Ploy is not unlike Kai-er in the Taiwanese series Office Girls .    Green Ausadaporn plays Unlucky Ploy—now, if you saw her walking down the street, you’d probably think tall model, pretty—she won the genetic lottery.

  U Motherbaker   40 episodes 2020 Hsin-Ling Chung as the Motherbaker. A mother’s love knows no boundaries. But cross a motherbaker, and bitch will cut you. The eponymous role is the matriarch of a famous, but little-past-its-prime bakery located in Tainan. Recently widowed and getting up in years, Lin Cai Xiang (played by Golden-Bell winning Hsin-Ling Chung who we first saw as Rainie Yang's friend in Love You on Netflix) is eyeing retirement and looking to pass down the running of the bakery to her children. The problem lies in the fact that all four of her children are never do wells. The bakery is still living in the past and hasn’t kept up with the times, making all of the traditional Taiwanese bakery goods, but none of the trending ones young people want. If they were on Yelp, they’d be dragged hard.    The only capable child, A-xin, unfortunately died in a freak accident. This leaves Xiao-Ou, his feisty young widow played by the amazing Peijia Huang (star of The Ghost Bride
