Synopsis

Dada fantasizes about being more than a dishwasher, and marvels at Ring-Ring. While washing dishes, Mr. Clean, the brand of dish soap he uses, manifests itself into a genie-like being and makes Dada squeaky clean, giving him a handsome appearance, but warning him that if he came into contact with any kind of dirt, he would revert to his old appearance. Ring-Ring immediately falls in love with Dada and the two become a couple. Dada shows off to Ring-Ring by gathering her gifts and pleasing the rest of the town, though with each attempt, gets himself dirty in the process. While at the Goh-Rong, Mr. Clean is stolen by Pucca, who uses it to wash the rest of the dishes, while Dada reverts to his old appearance when some dirt comes on his pants. Ring-Ring is humiliated and transforms, but doesn't bother to fight, feeling that Dada isn't worth it.

Production notes

Pucca loves Garu, and she wants to kiss him every day. Young Garu has a different idea: he's following the stoic path of the Ninja, and he wants to be left in peace. Pucca's uncles want to perfect their restaurant's noodle recipe, and Abyo just wants to rip his shirt off and be like Bruce Lee.

Funny love and kung-fu kicks abound in this comedy starring this well-loved Asian licensing starlet.
