This story follows two brothers, Jaiye and Juwon Kuti. Drama ensues when Jaiye - the elder brother, a university lecturer, highly-educated but poor - is forced to move into his junior brother's house, a school drop-out, but very rich. Both brothers are complete opposites. Jaiye is an uptight, deeply religious and cautious man, while Juwon is adventurous and an incorrigible Casanova who believes, the meaner you treat a woman, the keener she becomes. Is he right that women don't like nice guys? Or is it that when a woman is faced with a "bad boy," she automatically finds the challenge to tame him alluring? Does what goes around really comes around?
