First Season

“When the real and the fake meet, can love become real?”

It had been two years since I started living as a fake rich person. I’d rather be envied for being rich than looked down on for being poor. It was a lie that would be fine as long as I didn’t get caught. But, of all people, a boy who seemed capable of seeing right through that lie ended up sitting behind me. Overwhelming wealth, overwhelming indifference. Sin Jae-Eon, the grandson of a real chaebol family. She had planned to use him as a shield. But at some point, he stopped being a shield and became a source of warmth.

“I really like you, Lee Ji-Seo. I like you.”

The straightforward confession of a boy who has nothing to gain and nothing to lose. And a girl who’s afraid to even open her heart, not knowing when it will all be exposed. How long can I, the fake one, hold out in front of him, the real one? Before the first season passes, what will the two of them become to each other?
