A romantic comedy usually involves a handsome man and a pretty
lady.
But what happens when it’s a 'manly' woman, and a 'womanly'
man?
One day, a brassiere drops on Teochew. He immediately wins the
lottery and decides to keep it. Hainan begins an arduous search for
her precious underwear, distributing hundreds of missing posters
around her neighbourhood.
Teochew sees one of the posters, and his curiosity is piqued.
Bumping into Hainan one day, he asks about the brassiere, although
he has no intention of returning it.
Unfortunately, he lets slip more than he should, and Hainan becomes
suspicious…
