[On hiatus for revisions] Sam is a music blogger with a passion for metal. After a bad break up with a high-profile frontman, she decides to call it quits on love and focus on her blog and herself. All at once, life seems to turn upside down when her work with a major label is put in jeopardy around the same time she meets a world-famous KPop idol. At first, she wants nothing to do with him, but when life and the label insist on throwing them together, she has to choose between her commitment to single life and the metal genre and her growing attraction and feelings for the driven KPop idol.
Jae is one of five members for the KPop group, Apollo5. When they come to the USA to sign with an American label, his busy life is interrupted by a surly metal blogger who makes his heart race. Right away Jae feels the attraction, but is instantly rebuffed by her nasty attitude and sharp tongue. Soon, he's consumed by thoughts of her and feelings he has no time for, but he's determined to win her over because if there's one thing being an idol has taught him it's that the harder something is, the more worth it it is in the end.

Seventeen-year-old Shin Yoondo actually has a lot of valuable things in life - her parents, favorite cousin, and her one online best friend.

Myung Jaehyun, who's in the same class as Yoondo, is quite well-known for his clowning around and chaotic personality.

But no one has ever really tried to get to know him - the sensitive side of him. Something starts to change when he finally notices the mysterious and quiet, yet captivating and charming, Shin Yoondo. He's back again trying to k e e p c l o s e someone that is important to him, don't wanting to lose anybody else in his life. And she starts to f e e l something that has a deeper meaning than an emptiness inside her, that soon enough is going to be completely forgotten.
