Ava Lee is a fierce 28-year-old with a reputation as the go-to wedding planner for modern lovebirds. But when her grandmother, the legendary matchmaker Mei Lee, decides to retire, Ava is roped into managing her old-school matchmaking service as a favor. Skeptical about Mei’s “fate over algorithms” approach, Ava begins mixing modern tech (swipe-right dating apps) with Mei’s unconventional methods, leading to unexpected results—and disasters.

The real problem? Divorce lawyer Ryan Kim, who keeps sabotaging Ava’s matches under the guise of “saving people from heartbreak.” Forced to collaborate with Ryan to save a failing matchmaking project, Ava discovers there’s more to his cynical view of love—and to her own guarded heart.

Matchmaker Mayhem

The moment Ava stepped back into the open-air pavilion, she knew she was in trouble.

The traditional omiai matchmaking event had already taken a turn for the absurd, and she hadn't even sat down yet.

The sun cast a warm golden glow over Hamarikyu Gardens, the light filtering through the delicate cherry blossoms. The soft rustling of leaves blended with the gentle murmur of polite conversations, punctuated by the occasional tsk of a disapproving elder. Ornate tatami mats were laid out in precise, symmetrical rows, each one a designated matchmaking station where potential couples were to meet and be carefully evaluated by their matchmaker.

Ava eyed the situation with growing horror.

It wasn't just the clients who were being assessed—the matchmakers themselves were under intense scrutiny.
