The "Queen of Tragedy" met the "King of Comedy" in this quirky, romantic, urban, musical, screwball comedy. Spurred by the success of Les Belles and spawning the hit, Love Parade, Doe Ching directed the real-life couple, Betty Loh Ti and Peter Chen Ho, in a case of mistaken identity and romance turns showbiz venture. Amid a swirling storm of rumours, suspicions and doubts, a young businesswoman puts her part-time chauffeur-cum-aspiring entertainer through a test of love. Against all odds, the man must find a way to her heart and bring his artistic aspirations to fruition. Loh bewitched and grabbed all attention as the lady in red dancing with Chen.
