Makino (Inoue Mao) is a student at the super-prestigious Eitoku Academy, a seat of learning for some of the children of Japan’s wealthiest individuals. Somewhat intimidated by the school and its rich-kid students, she wants nothing except to stay below the radar and unnoticed during her time at the school. She has one girlfriend at the school, but does not speak to anyone else.

All that changes on the day her friend spills juice all over the pristine white shirt of Domyouji Tsukasa (Jun Matsumoto), the most aggressive and spoilt member of the so-called “Flower Four” or “F4.” This unofficial group comprises the good-looking but bratty sons of the most powerful businesspeople in Japan. The F4 are ruthless bullies, and often pressure their victims into dropping out. But when Domyouji Tsukasa snaps at Makino’s friend, Makino stands up to him. The F4 instructs the entire school to bully her in revenge. But when she snaps and gives him a taste of his own medicine, Domyouji Tsukasa unexpectedly falls for her. All of a sudden, the pendulum swings in favor of Makino – but things get very complicated when fellow F4 member Hanazawa Rui (Oguri Shun) also takes a shine to her!

The drama was based on a hit 1992-2008 manga series that was authored by Yoko Kamio.

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?
