Synopsis
For six months, successful Chinese-Filipino businessman Jimmy Wong (Piolo Pascual) holes up in his room after girlfriend Clarita breaks off their prearranged marriage to be with the man she really loves.

Jimmy’s pathological depression soon wreaks havoc on his three younger sisters, Annette, Claire and Leslie, whom he’s been taking care of since the demise of their parents.

The three women must deal with their respective problems while their beloved ah-hia (kuya or older brother) wrestles with his inner demons: Headstrong Annette (Andrea del Rosario) can’t wait for the dust to settle so she can join her OFW lover, Alex, abroad. In the privacy of her room, she’s always seen in front of her webcam-compatible laptop flirting with her paramour. Her dilemma: Alex is also a woman!

Stubborn Leslie (Krista Ranillo) is a call center agent who’s torn between her suitors, the favored wealthy Chinoy nerd and his jologs Pinoy competitor, whom she likes better. She constantly clashes with her traditionally conservative sister, Claire (Dimples Romana), a lonely and subservient housewife who’s continually hounded by her inability to give her arrogant husband a son.

The only time Claire escapes her dreary life is when she’s in the market—in full command of everything, as she carefully chooses the ingredients of her famous chop suey dish!
