A story between the two primary leads, encapsulating the lives of the many women who front the 80s narrative. Su Ching-yi (Cheryl Yang) tells Luo Yu-nung (Ruby Lin), “We don’t love those who love us. We fall for those we shouldn’t fall for.” The two best friends run an exclusive Japanese nightclub by the name of Light in Taipei’s tough Red Light District. At the Club, the former becomes Ms Sue and the latter, Ms. Rose. They are referred to respectfully as mamasan (a madam, who calls all the shots). The establishment, along the lines of a Geisha House or an okiya, caters mainly to rich, middle-aged, and respectable businessman from Japan. Each woman working there has a stage name (usually Japanese); clients refer to them by those names only. The duties of the hostesses are to entertain guests by engaging in conversation and revelry (the more expensive alcohol a hostess is able to order for her table, the better her cut is). Sex is never part of the equation. If patrons get a bit too handsy or boisterous, the mamasans step in, and handle the situation with subtlety and grace.
