Synopsis

[edit | edit source]

The series follows a group of young people and their struggles with love, and it's divided in three parts.

The first part tells the story of Jae-min (Ryu Ui-hyun), a student addicted to masturbation and accepts the "Stop Masturbation in a 100 Days Challenge" in order to confess to the girl he likes, Ye-kyung (Cho Mi-yeon).

The second part tells the story of Yu-ra (Jo Yoo-jung), a wannabe girl crush who in reality is a naive, delicate, religious girl, whose boyfriend leaves her because she is too "conservative".
