While We Are Young Z世代

Yang Xiao Shuai (Zong Zi Jie) is a troubled youth who comes from a broken family. After his stint in the boys' home, he turns over a new leaf and aims to be a competitive swimmer. Tang Yi Jie (Calvert Tay) comes from a well to do family and excels in his studies. Being talented and good looking, Yi Jie is well liked by his teachers and peers. Both boys with different upbringing and personalities will eventually cross path with each other as they vie for the affection of a girl.

Tang Yi Jie's mother Fang Ting (Zoe Tay) is a righteous teacher who is highly respected by her colleagues and as well as her students. Fang Ting's eldest son Yi Wei (Zhang Zhen Huan) was a passionate counsellor in his youth, he encouraged a delinquent, Zhong Ai (Rebecca Lim), to change her ways. She eventually becomes a teacher and marries him. They enjoyed a happy married life until Yi Wei's employee Jia Yi (Denise Camillia Tan) decides to come in between them. Yi Wei nearly strayed, but with interference from his wife and mother, he eventually pulls himself away from Jia Yi's advances.

To complicate matters, Zhong Ai and Fang Ting have their differences when it comes to teaching methods and domestic matters. Will they be able to set aside their differences and work out a common solution when it comes to nurturing the Z generation youths?
