L for Love, L for Lies Too

Bo and Jun launch a sweets shop after college, pouring energy into building a future together. The early days feel bright yet demanding as Bo balances long hours with the belief that love and life will align. The small shop becomes both a dream and a test of their commitment.

Kei Kei, Bo's old classmate, enters with a reckless hunger for Jun. Her charm masks selfish motives to steal him, shattering Bo's sense of security. The betrayal also destabilizes Bo's livelihood as trust erodes and the shop's footing wobbles.

To weather the betrayal, Bo pivots and signs on as a make-up artist in a mall. She navigates new coworkers and office politics while trying to hold onto her sense of self. The shift broadens her world beyond the bakery and introduces new opportunities and tensions.

At a party hosted by her boss, an engagement is announced, reopening Bo's old wounds. She encounters Keung again, a practiced conman whose presence hints at a different path forward. The moment sows seeds of a risky plan to test loyalties and truths.

Driven by hurt and curiosity, Bo enlists Keung to pose as a foil to Kei Kei, hoping the ruse will teach a hard lesson and uncover a cleaner truth about love. Keung's talent for manipulation draws Kei Kei deeper into his orbit and tests Bo's boundaries. The plan marks a turning point as deception becomes the tool to confront truth.

Meanwhile, Ah-Man's friendships and romances reveal the fragility of affection and the gap it creates with her partner. Fung, Ah-Man's steady boyfriend, wrestles with competing loyalties and the weight of past mistakes. The parallel storylines mirror the central question: can love endure deceit and ego?

Keung's deception around Kei Kei is exposed, tearing through the carefully laid scheme. Kei Kei absorbs a painful truth about chasing wealth over honesty and is left to reckon with the fallout. Bo's ruse forces everyone to confront what loyalty really means.

Back at the sweets shop, the fallout pushes Jun toward a difficult reckoning with Bo. They tentatively reconnect, considering giving their relationship another chance despite lingering lies. The tension threads through their future together as trust is slowly rebuilt.

Keung's criminal past surfaces as his schemes collide with violent consequences. A failed kidnapping attempt by his cronies leaves him mortally wounded, dragging himself toward Bo's world to confess his love. He collapses nearby, a stark reminder of how lies travel farther than truth.

Bo and Ah-Man cross paths in real life, only to discover Ah-Man's new boyfriend is Jun. The revelation reshapes the meaning of loyalty and love, forcing Bo to reassess what she wanted. The ending lingers on honesty, forgiveness, and the courage to let go.

The film closes with a quiet meditation on honesty and forgiveness as true care for others emerges through imperfect acts. It suggests that love can endure when truth is spoken and courage is shown, even when the heart must let go. The ending leaves a bittersweet sense of what was gained and what was lost.

The sweets shop stands as a symbol of resilience despite the scars of deceit. Bo's journey shows that rebuilding trust takes time, but the act of caring for those who matter remains the core. The film ends with a hopeful note that honest efforts can still define love.
