Jang Min Young

Yoon Jin Myung (Yeri Han), Jung Ye Eun (Han Seung Yeon), Song Ji Won (Park Eun Bin), Kang Yi Na (Ryu Hwayoung), and Yoo Eun Jae (Park Hye Soo) have a lot in common. They’re all university students in their twenties, and they call the “Belle Époque” sharehouse home. But just because they have a lot in common doesn’t mean they’re living the same life.

Solely responsible for her education and her financial situation, Jin Myung never allows herself a second to rest. Overworked and sleep-deprived, Jin Myung knows she runs a very real risk of burning out but that doesn’t stop her from pushing herself just a little bit more. An outspoken young woman who isn’t afraid to share her opinions with the world, Ye Eun has a serious and unwavering amount of devotion to her boyfriend. On the other hand, Eun Jae is quite timid, which makes her unique taste in men all the more surprising. With an exceptionally bright personality, Ji Won never ceases to shine, but her penchant for drinking tends to get her into trouble. And then there’s Yi Na, who is known by everyone for her looks, but there’s more to her than most people realize.&nbsp;

As each young woman struggles with their issues, they come to find that having each other around makes life more bearable. Will the friendship that blossoms between them give each of them the strength to overcome their personal trials?
