Synopsis/Details
Lucy, a successful 33-year-old businesswoman, is still reeling from the shock of her ex-boyfriend, Mike's betrayal. As she attends her best friend's engagement party, she confides in her friends about the pain and confusion she feels. On the flight back to Singapore, she strikes up a conversation with a charming stranger whose witty observations and unexpected vulnerability leave a lasting impression, unaware that he is the renowned actor, Evan Lee. This chance encounter unknowingly sets her life on a new trajectory. Later, Lucy embarks on a business trip to South Korea, where she meets Scott, a marketing director. Their initial connection from the flight unexpectedly ignites when Scott introduces her to Evan, the enigmatic actor and brand ambassador. As they spend more time together, a deep connection sparks between Lucy and Evan, filled with laughter, vulnerable moments, and shared dreams for a future far from the public eye. Amidst their growing affection, Lucy's past resurfaces when Mike reappears, forcing her to confront lingering trust issues and the deep-seated fear of repeating history. However, with Evan's unwavering support, she begins to rebuild her faith in love and resolve to embrace what lies ahead. A sudden setback occurs when a scandalous photo of Evan with his co-star, Natalie, surfaces. Devastated and confused, Lucy grapples with renewed doubts. Through agonizing but honest communication, she reaffirms her trust in Evan, refusing to let baseless rumors erode their bond, as he fights to protect their nascent relationship from public scrutiny. Their love grows stronger, and Lucy's longing for a family becomes apparent, tempered by past disappointments and career demands. Recognizing her desire, Evan, embracing a truly modern partnership, offers a selfless gesture: he proposes to be a father for her child through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), a path they embark on with shared hope and vulnerability. Overwhelmed by his love and support, Lucy agrees, their bond deepening with each passing day. Ten months later, Lucy and Evan's lives are transformed by the arrival of their twins, Leo and Camila. They navigate demanding careers and the joys of parenthood, their love for each other deepening with each shared moment. The film culminates in a breathtaking proposal from Evan to Lucy during a romantic stroll along the beach. Under the golden hues of the sunset, this public declaration solidifies their unconventional yet unwavering commitment, proving love can flourish and find its seal beyond traditional timelines, as a future filled with love, hope, and the promise of forever unfolds before them.
