Ngoc Nu (Le Giang) runs arguably the most famous crab noodle soup stall in the Thu Duc neighborhood of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam). Now middle-aged and divorced, she has become the non-nonsense matriarch of her family, which comprises her aging mother and two young daughters, as well as the eldest daughter’s husband. Her bad experiences with her ex-husband have scarred her, and she now mistrusts men. Even men who stop off to buy noodles at her stall are afraid of her wrath.

Ngoc Nu has high hopes for her youngest daughter, Ngoc Nhi (Uyen An). Soon to turn 20, Ngoc Nu hopes Ngoc Nhi will study finance and make a career for herself. But Ngoc Nhi has other plans. She would rather work as a craftsperson, something that her mother deeply disapproves of. Matters come to a head, however, when Ngoc Nhi meets a dashing young man named at a party. They fall for one another right away. But both the young man’s wealthy parents and the domineering Ngoc Nu disapprove of the relationship.

House of No Man

Thu (Hoang Yen Chibi) is a young, female motorbike taxi rider. One day, her path crosses with that of Sy (Quach Ngoc Tuyen), an unemployed man whose family is being harangued by the local mafia due to the fact that they owe the gang a large amount of money. In a bid to keep the gangsters at bay, Sy has taken to carrying out odd jobs for them. When he meets Thu, he believes that she can help him carry out his work, so he hires her as his full-time driver.

As they begin to work together, Thu and Sy begin to draw closer to one another, and embark on an uneasy friendship. That bond morphs into something closer to romance, but danger is brewing. Shady and villainous characters like the cynical Thon (Le Giang) and a scheming tycoon (played by Truong Minh Quoc Thai) appear on the scene. And as tensions rise, the duo starts to suspect that their meeting was not actually due to mere chance after all – and may have been masterminded by figures hatching a fiendish plot...

Only after Linh leaves does Thoai realize he may have actually had a dream worth pursuing after all.

Desperate to win Linh back, Thoai tries to get his life back on track but the competition for her affection is steep, especially now that Linh’s old high school crush, Khanh (Anh Tu), is suddenly back on the scene.
