What is Five Blind Dates about?

Lia is a 20-something Chinese-Australian woman who works in her family's traditional tea shop which she inherited from her grandmother. Lia is unlucky in love and she's struggling to keep the tea business alive, but a trip to Townsville to celebrate her sister's engagement turns everything around. 

Take a look at the trailer for Five Blind Dates on Prime Video.

During a family lunch, Lia is handed a prophecy that predicts the answer to her romantic woes will be revealed on one of her next five dates. With the dangling temptation of meeting 'the one' Lia reluctantly embarks on a series of dates organised by her family.
