The rise of cable television has also marked the increase in freedom of expression for drama creators.

Kang Ho-goo (Choi Woo-sik) is a webtoon artist stuck in perpetual adolescence. With barely any social life, he spends his days with his friends and is known for being a bit of a pushover. Do Do-hee (UEE) is a swimming champion with a graceful image, but she hides a rough country gal personality under it.
