action

In order to get closer to her crush, the model Kun Kang, the high school student Taeyeun swaps roles with her cousin Jeonghu. He looks very similar to her and goes to the same class at Cheongsu High School with Kun. So Jeonghu is supposed to take on her role disguised as her for a week, while Taeyeun wants to get closer as Jeonghu Kun. But on the Cheongsu, the girl finds out that her cousin has messed with the club of the school thug Kaun, who beats her up on the very first day. Kaun is also close friends with Kun. While Jeonghu now has a rather quiet everyday school life in her stead, Taeyeun has to get along with Kaun and still tries to get closer to her goal Kun. Meanwhile, Kaun takes a liking to Jeonghu and wants to accept him into his club. He even wonders if he hasn't fallen in love with him. While they are still getting to know each other, a dispute escalates with the gang of "Dr Lee", in which Jeonghu is also drawn through the role reversal. During a fight, Taeyeun is saved by Kaun, who realizes that she is a girl. Then the two become a couple, because Taeyeun also realizes that she actually likes him better than Kun.

After the role reversal is over, Jeonghu becomes popular with the fan fiction club of his class, whose girls are primarily interested in stories about beautiful youngsters - before he is soon considered one of the prettiest boys in their class, alongside Kaun and Kun. Unimpressed by this, Jeonghu fights himself again and again and meets Kyumin in the process. The strong, spirited girl also likes to share in her free time, but at school she plays the good student to everyone. At first, she is afraid that Jeonghu will reveal who she is who is hidden. But when he never recognizes her, she soon becomes more angry about it and finally falls in love with him. But then she is drawn into conflict with the thugs from the Irwon School, with whom Jeonghu had fought while trying to defend him. Its boss Kunham Choi is notorious and finally beats Jeonghu up so that he has to stay in the hospital for several weeks. This is how they later attack Kyumin. Kunham Choi forces her to become his girlfriend or he would beat Jeonghu again. In her role as Kunham's friend, Lin Lee soon becomes jealous of her. So far, every boy at the school has fallen for the cute daughter of a mafia family - all of whom she rejected - except Jeonghu and Kunham. So she tries to put Kyumin and her fan fiction club under pressure and to make herself popular with the two boys, who are not interested in her. Kunham soon confesses to Kyumin that he has known her for a long time and has been in love with her for just as long. Meanwhile, Jeonghu shows a surprisingly human side when he feeds a dog on the school grounds. When he disappears, Jeonghu collapses from exhaustion while searching.

Kyumin and, at her urging, Kunham take care of Jeonghu and find the dog with Kunham's gang. Since then, Jeonghu, who lives alone, has repeatedly come to visit Kunham and his gang uninvited. Eventually he is accepted by them, despite Kunham's reluctance, as they need reinforcements. Because the boss of the competing gang from the Guwon School, Bogchil Kang, has returned from Japan and wants to attack Kunham. He is supported by Lin Lee, who hopes to make Kunham compliant. Lin also exposes Kyumin's hidden power and fights in front of her friends. But that doesn't bother them, they are rather happy about a strong girl in their ranks - and at the same time that Jeonghu joins their fanfiction club. After Kyumin went on a date with him, however, she slowly realizes that she has now fallen in love with Kunham. Like Jeonghu, he supports them at an event organized by the fan fiction club. Shortly thereafter, he is confronted with the gang from the Guwon School, who humiliate Kunham and seriously injure his subordinates and Jeonghu. But when they are released from the hospital, with Kyumin's help they can defeat Bogchil Kang. After that, Kunham and Kyumin become a real couple.
