Two marriages, four affairs, one juice stand — Taiwanese family drama that simmers then scalds.
Min Min runs a juice stall in Taipei's Yongle Market. Her husband Bin runs a small printing business in the neighborhood. Their daughter Hsiao Lan is dating a bad boy-type that keeps her out late at night, and their youngest son Hsiao Yang is helping his best friend get a date with a local café girl. One day, neighborhood girl Hsiao Li returns home and announces her engagement to a bookseller. However, Hsiao Li is getting cold feet about the marriage and starts spending time with Bin. Meanwhile, Min Min also finds herself growing closer to Hsiang, the friendly owner of a dress-making shop in the market.
