The show begins by introducing us to Claudia, employed in a papaya-salad restaurant. She often indulges in arguments with her co-worker and carries a mean pestle, which she usually uses to scare off rowdy customers and sometimes, to grind food. Enter JC, who works at the KFC, next to Claudia’s workplace. When he successfully saves her from a tattooed muscleman, who tries to sexually assault her, we see an evident spark between the two. However, nothing much happens that night and she goes home and has a conversation with a photograph of a seemingly dead man.

On the other hand, JC is searching for the girl of his dreams. Eve works at a hostess bar (the US counterpart of strip clubs, minus the nudity or pole dancing.) One night, after she is wasted from having too many beers, Danny (the bar owner’s timid nephew) helps her off the sidewalk. He mistakes her for a hostess and harbors a crush on one of the women employed under his aunt. Mednoon, a forever flirt and Simon, a reserved gay man, are best friends. When they visit a stripper club, he catches the attention of a mysterious stripper, named Mr. K.

That’s it. These are our main characters and almost the entire story revolves around how they meet, how the chemistries develop, and how they tackle the multiple ups and downs in their relationships. Narrated in a quirky tone, some of the plus points here are decent performances, good cinematography, and of course, hot youngsters! The romances are cute and most of the time, the people are happy — which makes it a light, refreshing watch. Packing quite a punch in its character narratives, storytelling, concepts of love, and humorous, culture-specific jokes, it is a good watch for anybody who wishes to explore Asian dramas. There’s also a brave attempt to touch on topics such as sexual orientation and LGBTQ visibility. Hence, if you do want a gist of Asian culture from an emotional aspect, you should definitely give it a try.
