After experiencing countless ups & downs, feuding couple Makino Tsukushi (Inoue Mao) & Domyoji Tsukasa (Matsumoto Jun) are finally ready to tie the knot
- or so they think!

Worried that the theft will be used as an excuse to call off the marriage, Tsukasa & Makino resolve to recover the tiara on their own with the help of the other members of F4. Arguing every step of the way, the feuding couple head off on a wild-goose chase that takes them to Las Vegas, Hong Kong, & other far-out places, but the tiara keeps slipping from their fingers as time, money, & patience run thin. Can their love hold up to the test?
