Flora Baker is a K-addict, an E.L.F., and above all else, a Gamer. Not the kind of gamer most people would think of. Being a Gamer meant that Cho Kyuhyun was her bias. When she picks out his voice in songs, and when she sees pictures of his smile, her heart hurts. She tries to push past this, especially when she arrives in South Korea as an ESL teacher, but then her entire life is thrown for a loop as she not only meets the man she has loved as a fan for years, but works with him, befriends him, and tries to avoid falling for him for real.

When Fiction Meets Reality (Jaywon)
Yang Jungwon has always lived between two worlds-the real one, and the one inside his imagination. On the outside, he's the quiet, perfectly composed college student everyone knows: sharp-minded, cold to strangers, and absolutely uninterested in the idea of love. But at home, Jungwon becomes a completely different person-soft, dreamy, and endlessly captivated by the stories he reads, especially those filled with heart-fluttering moments between boys who fall in love against all odds. Having devoured countless novels, Jungwon has seen every possible romantic cliché unfold-confessions in the rain, accidental kisses, rivals-to-lovers tension. So in real life, nothing surprises him anymore. Every situation feels predictable, every emotion recycled. Love, he believes, is just another trope-and none of it can ever meet his high standards. That is, until three transfer students walk into his college and instantly steal everyone's attention. They're charming, confident, and practically glowing with main-character energy. Among them is Park Jay-mischievous, confident, and a little too sure of himself. When Jay first sees Jungwon, he's immediately intrigued by the way the boy seems so unimpressed by everything around him. To Jay, that disinterest is a challenge-a mystery worth solving. Determined to make Jungwon notice him, Jay starts approaching him in every way possible: teasing him during classes, sitting beside him at the library, and throwing flirtatious comments that would make anyone else blush. But Jungwon, ever the realist, sees through every move-each one reminding him of the romantic plots he's already read a hundred times before. Yet as Jay's persistence continues, something unexpected begins to happen. Jungwon starts feeling emotions that don't fit any of his familiar stories. His heart beats out of rhythm, his logic blurs, and his world of fiction starts mixing dangerously with reality.Complete
My ID Is Gangnam Beauty Season One (RECAP)
This story is basically a plastic surgery success story. It is about a wallflower like young woman named Kang Mi-rae (played by Lim Soo-hyang), who was not attractive in high school. She was bullied due to her looks and wishes that she can be born again as a pretty girl. So she undergoes plastic surgery and becomes a knockout just in time for college. The only thing is, her personality is still that of a very shy insecure young woman, so she does not understand why all these people are giving her so much attention. Getting used to her new look and other people's perception of her based on her new look is what this story is about. The main male lead, Do Kyung-seok, is played by Chae Eun-woo. He is very attractive (natch) but does not like it when people focus solely on someones beauty because his mother is super beautiful and basically abandoned him when he was young. He begins to fall for Mi-rae and defends her when people start to call her Gangnam Beauty, which is a derogatory term for attractive women who have undergone plastic surgery.Complete
