Fat Tin(Myolie Wu) is an overweight daughter to a wealthy man in the Philippines. Worried for her daughter's future that she won't get married because she's overweight, Fat Tin's father searches for and finds what he believes to be an ideal life partner for her daughter. However, unable to feel anything for her husband-to-be, the idealistic Fat Tin runs off to Hong Kong. Life in Hong Kong is totally different from the life she left. People are more materialistic, and appearances are everything. Fat Tin's weight makes her the object of ridicule from Tai Sz Hei especially, the owner of the store she will eventually work in in her time in Hong Kong.

Tai Sz Hei(Andy Hui) is a successful designer and the owner of several chain stores selling his own design brand. A perfectionist, he feels that appearances are everything and anyone unable to take care of their own appearance cannot be trusted to take care of anything important.
Quarrels and misunderstandings are the norm between the two polar opposites, and Tai Sz Hei made life a living hell for Fat Tin who could only shoulder them to keep the job she needs to pay for her living expenses in Hong Kong.

A strange turn of events brings the two together in the Philippines. An accident leaves Tai Sz Hei with memory loss and Fat Tin, who has since returned to her father, turns out to be the one to shelter him. Still sore about her treatment at his hands in Hong Kong, she plays a prank on Tai Sz Hei by convincing him that he is her boyfriend.

The memory-less Tai Sz Hei however, stripped of the defensive shell he placed to protect himself, begins to show another side of him that is not all too different from Fat tin. What started as a simple prank turns into real romance and Fat Tin begins to worry about how things will turn out when Tai Sz Hei eventually regains his memory and found out who he really is...
