Synopsis edit
Despite her mother's protests, Jillian pursues her dream of becoming a chef by joining a cooking contest where she gets a chance to study culinary arts in different Asian countries. Before anyone can stop her, she is already on her way to South Korea with her long-time best friend, Jonathan. But it soon becomes clear to her that skill alone is not enough to make her pass such a difficult course. So in her desperate attempt to succeed and create a good life for her family, she goes in search for a woman who can teach her a winning recipe.
She crosses paths with TJ, an arrogant, wealthy businessman who is looking for his mother, the same woman Jillian is looking for. They hardly get along yet they eventually end up having a one-night stand as Jillian momentarily makes him forget about his worries about his mother's second marriage. They go their separate ways the next morning after a misunderstanding. Later on, Jillian learns that she is pregnant, which means that she cannot continue her studies. A twist of fate brings them together again in the Philippines, six years after their fateful encounter abroad.
