As if chasing after an idol debut on a K-pop survival show wasn't enough stress, 18-year-old trainee Chai now has to deal with the mortifying ordeal of an unreciprocated crush on the swoon-worthy, highest-ranking contestant, Park Jiwoon. He could get over it, too, if Jiwoon would stop trying to become close friends. And if the producers stopped pushing their bromance storyline. And if his poor heart could stop sledgehammering his ribcage every time Jiwoon as much as smiles in Chai's direction.
With cameras, and dozens of other contestants, watching their every move, how will the two trainees handle their precarious relationship among the challenges of desperately climbing toward their debut?
Inspired by recent K-pop survival shows like Boys Planet, Project 7, and Starlight Boys.
