Tian seeks to prevent his son Yao Zhiyong (Edwin Goh) who has never seen Tian since his mother (Tian's wife played by Pan Ling Ling) remarried, from following in his footsteps. "The young actors in the show are really playful. Everything is a game to them and they act very naturally," said Li, gesturing toward Goh and the rest of the younger cast members Kimberly Chia, Elizabeth Lee, Phua Yida and Ian Fang.

The 46-year-old actor had played Ah Yong, a rebellious, hot-blooded youth in the drama's spiritual prequel "On The Fringe" way back in 1987.

The difference, of course, is that Tian Yi Bang, his character in the new "On The Fringe" is not a wayward youth, but a middle-aged former delinquent. "Tian Yi bang has been jailed for 15 years for his crimes. He has lost touch with society.

"He wants to turn over a new leaf but he has no friends, because his old friends were gangsters and all came to bad ends. Nobody gives him a chance," said Li of his character, during a press luncheon for the show.
