Cupid returns for a fresh assault on the hearts of a new group of romance-ready singletons. The group has never met before, but must live together in Signal House. The house rules encourage flirty behavior, but forbid housemates from directly telling anyone that they like them. Instead, they must express their feelings via text message. But there’s a twist: All texts to housemates are anonymous – meaning recipients have to guess who is trying to make a love connection with them.

Watching events unfurl in the house is a celebrity panel of love experts. These include returning romance fans Yoon Jong Shin, Kim Ea Na, and Lee Sang Min, all veterans of previous “Heart Signal” seasons. And joining this trio this time around is a fresh crop of star pundits, including Oh! My Girl member Mimi, Kang Seung Yoon of WINNER, and leading psychiatrist Kim Chong Gi.

This variety TV show series is the follow-up to 2017’s “Heart Signal.” A second series was released in 2018. And this was followed up with Season 3 in 2020.

“Heart Signal 4” is a 2023 South Korean reality TV/variety show that was produced by Park Cheol Hwan.

As far as high school students go, Gorya (Tontawan Tantivejakul) is about as average as they come. Growing up in a poor family, she spends her days at school and her free time working at a local flower shop with her best friend Kaning (Chanikarn Tangkabodee). But her average life takes an unbelievable turn when she passes the entrance exam to one of the most prestigious high schools in the country.

Seeing Gorya’s acceptance to this new school as a way to escape their poverty, her family is more than a little excited about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Gorya, on the other hand, isn’t as thrilled by the change in schools, especially not after she meets the school’s most notorious group of seniors. Sons of the country's richest families, the F4: Thyme (Vachirawit Chivaaree), Ren (Jirawat Sutivanichsak), Kavin (Metawin Opas-iamkajorn), and MJ (Hirunkit Changkham), might be blessed with amazing looks and incredible influence, but they’re also the school’s biggest bullies. Handing out “red cards” to anyone they don’t like, they have no qualms about making life miserable for their classmates and as such, Gorya despises them.

Standing up to F4 and their bullying, Gorya refuses to back down, earning her instant respect from Ren, Kavin, and MJ, but it’s Thyme’s unwanted attention that makes Gorya’s life miserable. Despite developing a crush on Ren, Thyme’s pursuit of Gorya continues, never once believing that he won’t eventually win her heart. With time and a healthy amount of character growth, will Thyme eventually win Gorya’s heart?

Enamored as much by his charm as she was by his professional skill, Sakura could stop herself from immediately falling in love. Determined to find a way to meet this heroic doctor again, Sakura decided rather quickly that the only way to do so would be to go into the medical profession herself. Now, at twenty-two, Sakura is a rookie nurse who has just taken her first position at a local hospital.
