Kinship (Simplified Chinese: 手足) is a Singaporean Chinese long running drama which was televised on Singapore's free-to-air channel, MediaCorp TV Channel 8. The drama was divided into two parts, which were broadcast every weekday evening from June 2007 to August 2007 for first part and December 2007 to February 2008 for the second part.

The drama series starred Elvin Ng, Jesseca Liu, Ann Kok, Xiang Yun, Yao Wenlong, Chen Tianwen, Cynthia Koh & Sylvester Tan. As such, producers have cited this drama as a highly anticipated drama, comparable to the likes of Holland V, Double Happiness and Portrait of Home. This drama is one of the longest running dramas with 83 episodes, being produced by MediaCorp in 2007. Despite being a highly anticipated drama, it received more criticism than any other locally produced Chinese-language drama and only half of the expected viewership.^{[citation needed]}
