Plot
Jake del Mundo is a handsome boy who comes from a privileged background. After years as a carefree bachelor, he thinks he is now ready to settle down. On the night that he proposes marriage to his long-time girlfriend, Tracy, she finally has had enough of him and dumps him for another man. At the same time, Kristina "Tintin" Paraiso, a make-up artist, idealistically dreams of a nearly "perfect" relationship and believes that the guy she's going out with is about to ask her to marry him. When he doesn't arrive to meet her in the restaurant, she finds out on Facebook that he has already committed himself to another girl, and shares her heartbreak on social media in a video that immediately goes viral.
After six months' time recovering from their failed relationships, Jake and Tintin meet in a beach resort that Jake owns, where Tintin is to work on an out-of-town job as a makeup artist with her colleagues Esang, Ms. Andrè and some friends. When the two cross paths, they end up spending an entire night drinking and talking about their personal lives until dawn. Before they part, they exchange numbers and agree to meet in Manila.
Jake, a hopeless romantic, and the jaded and outspoken Tintin, discovering each has been jilted, end up spending more and more time together. On a night out at a bar, they agree to be each other’s confidant to help find someone better than their exes.
