Hong is a shy young man who lives with his control-freak mother, Meiling. After a disastrous blind date, Hong’s cousin decides to bring him to a sex hotel. Although Hong is not ready to lose his virginity, he finds himself attracted to the sex hotel’s assistant manager, Lele.
Charming and warm, Lele is a single mom to a son of around 20 years old. As a beautiful woman who works at a sex hotel, she is often troubled by unwanted attention. However, Lele enjoys the company of Hong and the extra special bond developing.
Meiling and Lele’s son stumble upon the relationship. The two lovebirds are forced to face the reality and decide if they want to be with each other…
