You have never heard this story before! New York City: Adam — successful but unhappy accountant — meets Eva — struggling but free-spirited artist. They fall in love. They have a misunderstanding! But everything works out in the end. IT’S ALL A LIE! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! Haha, what was that? You’re hearing things again! Let us sing you some cheesy love songs :D 

Cheesy Love Songs is a super niche original romantic comedy written by a charming authoritarian man-child who calls himself Mister. As an eccentric group of his (former) friends performs his story, the world they are trying to create begins falling apart. New relationships emerge, chaos ensues… and maybe everyone learns how to follow their own script.
