Season 1
Ek, Hy en Jy (Me, Him and You) is a South African, Afrikaans-language television drama miniseries which tells the story of a woman who sacrificed her own needs to look after her sister, only for her life to take an unexpected twist, giving her a second chance at happiness.
Soefie has always put her younger sister Katrien's needs before her own.
Since their parents' death 16 years ago, Soefie has carried the heavy responsibility of looking after Katrien, and she has cared for her sister so dutifully and selflessly that she has sacrificed herself and her own dreams in the process.
To complicate Soefie's life further, her pilot boyfriend Nicolaas has a dream opportunity to work for an international airline and wants her to move with him to Hong Kong.
She decides against it and is then confronted with a love from her past – Nicolaas's brother, Jakes.
Reandi Grey is Soefie, André Lötter is Nicolaas and Bobby van Jaarsveld appears as Jakes.
Blyde Smit is Katrien and Neil Sharim is Danie, Katrien's beloved whom she met on a camp weekend and who provides regular comic relief.
Johan Scholtz and Brümilda van Rensburg are the two brothers' parents, Brink and Elise.
Brink is trying everything in his power to find Jakes a wife. Elise, in turn, will do anything to prevent either of her sons' hearts from being broken.
Dawian van der Westhuizen plays Thomas, Jakes's son from a previous relationship.
The series is set, amongst other locations, on the beautiful horse farm where Brink and Elise live with Jakes and little Thomas.
The festive season and the accompanying celebrations are part of the story, which tackles themes such as love and loss, family ties versus individual needs, and the courage to seize second chances.
Ek, Hy en Jy is based on an original idea by Lizé Vosloo and Zia Attlee.
The series is produced by Sonvelt Media and was written by Lizé Vosloo, who is also the series director.
Sunel Haasbroek is a director and the producers are Lizé Vosloo, Soné Combrink and André Velts.
Original music is by Abri Vosloo.
