She is a gold digger who sees an old man dishing out drinks at the bar and thinks she has identified a new sugar daddy. The two begin living together as roommates, and each is able to help the other; he helps her to see the deeper meaning in life, and find true romance, while she brings her new friend up to speed on modern life and gives him hope where all was lost.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sugar Daddy<\/em> was the best performing scripted show in Ukraine during the past year on 1+1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudio Kvartal has a reputation for creating comedies that really speak to audiences; the last time they had such a hit with the public, the lead character became the actual president of Ukraine,\u201d said Nicola S\u00f6derlund, managing partner of Eccho Rights, referencing <em>Servant of the People<\/em>, a series in which an everyman becomes president.
