Based on WEBTOON

Hong Seol (Oh Yeon Seo) never thought of herself as anything special. A young university student, she never stood out as exceptional or even extraordinary. She went to class, worked part-time to pay her tuition fees and living expenses, and spent time with her friends. As average as average could be, Hong Seol never thought she’d catch the eye of someone as out of the ordinary as Yoo Jung (Park Hae Jin).&nbsp;

A senior at the same university, Yoo Jung has never been one to blend in. The handsome son of a wealthy family, he’s never had to work his way through school, but that hasn’t kept him from thinking himself above his peers. On the contrary, he’s always been kind towards others, helping out where he can. With so much going for him, he’s always been one to attract the attention of others, but very few have been able to catch his eye. Until now.

Intrigued by Hong Seol, Yoo Jung begins to take an interest in his underclassman. When he finally decides to ask her out, the two begin an unexpected and awkward relationship that will cause more than a few heads to turn.

Captured Team 

Lee Ma Ha (Jeong Ji So) dreams of K-pop success. She is a member of the all-female group Tea Party, but the act enjoys very little in the way of success, regardless of how much effort she and her groupmates put in. Her only claim to fame is the fact that she looks like a slightly younger version of the chart-topping solo singer La Ri Ma (Park Ji Yeon), a fact that the entertainment industry media is often very keen to point out.

Tea Party takes part in a reality TV show that pits K-pop groups against one another in tests of sporting prowess. But during the filming, Lee Ma Ha accidentally causes an injury to a member of the hit all-male group Shax. One of the Shax members, Kwon Ryok (Lee Jun Young) takes a deep dislike to her, blaming her for the accident and irritated by why he feels is a crass attempt to mimic La Ri Ma.

But, as fate would have it, their paths cross again all too soon – as they are both selected to appear in a new drama series. Kwon Ryok appears determined to settle the score – but another K-pop star, Lee Ma Ha’s childhood friend Lee Yu Jin (Jeong Yun Ho) resolves to protect her.
