This feels like a Hallmark movie that wandered onto Netflix—predictable rom-com beats wrapped around a thin 'exes' revenge' plot that'll resolve itself by minute 90. Unless you're specifically craving low-stakes comfort watching with zero surprises, skip it and find something with actual stakes.

Plot

Lana's daughter Emma returns from abroad and drops a bombshell: she's getting married. In Thailand. In a month! Things only get worse when Lana learns that the man who captured Emma's heart is the son of the man who broke hers years ago.
