Plot

Lazaro "Lalo" Lobregat (Wendell Ramos) is the president of Distelleria Lobregat. He is regarded as the metro's most eligible bachelor not to mention, a heartbreaker. He is a little bit insensitive about some things especially about the feelings of women. There is still a bit of conscience in him, but he is too preoccupied to notice his "inner good" because of his cool cars and hot chicks. But when his ex-fling Ada Romina (Jewel Mische) killed herself because of him, everything in his perfect life will change. Sera Romina (Iza Calzado), Ada's sister is furious. All she knows is that he must pay. Unknown to Lalo, Sera and Ada are babaylans, magical beings that could conjure curses and spells with the power of the moon. With a cursed kiss from Sera, Lalo changes into a woman in a snap. Since nobody will believe his overnight sex change, except for his closet gay best friend Gary (Keempee de Leon), he passes himself as Lola (Rhian Ramos), Lalo's steady girlfriend, to which everyone has a hard time believing. With a new body, he finds out how hard it is to be a woman, experiencing the same chauvinism he used to inflict on women. With each passing day, every inch of Lalo starts to fade, physically and emotionally, and starts to develop real female characteristics like menstruation. As if that's not hard enough, she starts to develop feelings to Lalo's office mate and complete opposite, Facundo Diaz (JC de Vera). He also discovers the deep dark secrets of Distelleria Lobregat and his identity, not to mention an angry babaylan magically trying to destroy her even more.At the end of the story, Lola married Facundo and live happily ever after.^[2] In with of twins Lalo & Lola.
