Synopsis
How can a girl at the bottom of her high school class ever hope to capture the attention of the smartest, most popular boy?
Ha Ni (Jung So Min) is smitten with Seung Jo (Kim Hyun Joong) from the moment she lays eyes on him on the first day of school. He is the total package – tall, athletic, good-looking, and the envy of all the students because he always gets a perfect score on all his exams. But Ha Ni's affections are not returned, despite her energetic efforts to get his attention. Fate throws them under one roof when an earthquake destroys Ha Ni's family home, and they live temporarily in the home of her father's childhood friend, who turns out to be Seung Jo's father. Will Ha Ni ever be able to get Seung Jo to think of her as anything more than a nuisance?
