Not only will it be a romantic story, the production team also hopes to touch the hearts of its viewers with the scenes between Victoria’s character and her mother.

On the other hand, male lead Peter Ho will portray the role of an entertainment industry producer, who is also a musical artist and renowned music producer. He is the one who discovers the musical talent in the character played by Victoria, and he will be the love interest of Victoria’s character, forming a “celebrity couple” with her.
