Plot

Katherine "Kaka" Bataan is a vibrant and outspoken radio DJ and sex therapist, renowned for her candid discussions about sexuality on her show. Despite her professional persona and open conversations about sex, Kaka harbors a personal secret, she has never experienced an orgasm.

Her life takes a turn when she meets Levi Sales, a charismatic and seemingly perfect man who introduces her to new experiences. With Levi, Kaka experiences the best sex of her life, leading her to believe she has finally found the one.

In an effort to be the ideal partner for Levi, Kaka decides to transform herself into a more conservative and “prim and proper” lady, deviating from her usual bold and liberated self. This change causes concern for her best friend, Jorge Daco, who disagrees with her decision. Unbeknownst to Kaka, Jorge harbors feelings for her, adding complexity to their friendship.

As Kaka navigates her relationship with Levi and her evolving identity, she also deals with her family's dynamics. Her mother, Kamila Bataan (Kams), and grandmother, Lolita Kirara Bataan (Lola Kiri), each have their own perspectives on love and relationships, influencing Kaka's journey.

Kaka's transformation and the reactions of those around her lead her to question her choices. She must decide whether to continue molding herself to fit someone else's expectations or to embrace her true self, regardless of societal norms and pressures.
