Yoon Dalrae, portrayed by aespa's Karina, is a Grade 12 student and the respected Student Council President at SM Academy (SMA). On her 18th birthday, she musters the courage to come out as gay to her parents, portrayed by Seungri and Tiffany Hwang, who are Yoon Hangyeol, the CEO of Yoon Corporation, and Choi Jihye, a talented solo singer and actress under GD Entertainment.

Heewon, a Grade 11 student and intersex female, holds the role of vice captain and setter on SMA's Girl's Volleyball Team. She is the beloved daughter of Noe Yeona (portrayed by BLACKPINK's Lisa) and Jeon Hoyeon (portrayed by BLACKPINK's Rosé). Yeona is not only a head chef and the owner of Le Bistrot de Yeona but also the CEO of GD Entertainment and NH Corporation, a leading conglomerate in South Korea. Meanwhile, Hoyeon pursues her acting career under MH Entertainment.
In this inclusive South Korean society that respects diverse sexual orientations, Dalrae's parents readily accept her truth.

Against the backdrop of South Korea's top conglomerates, the narrative delves into themes of love, acceptance, and the pursuit of true happiness, as Dalrae and Heewon navigate their relationship and overcome the obstacles set before them.
