It stars Jun Jong Seo (Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area and Burning) as aspiring actress Na A Jeong, who accepts the most significant role of her career yet: wife to her best friend of 15 years, Lee Do Han, who is portrayed by Kim Do Wan (Doona! and Big Mouth).

He proposes to A Jeong because, as a chaebol, he is being pressured to marry. Do Han is a closeted gay man, and A Jeong is the only one he trusts with his secret. However, his younger brother Lee Ji Han, portrayed by Moon Sang Min (Under The Queen’s Umbrella and My Name), is against their engagement, although he doesn’t know the truth.

Lee Do-Han is the son of a chaebol family that runs the LJ Group. He is pushed to get married by his family, but he has a secret that he can’t marry. Lee Do-Han turns to his friend Na A-Jeong and asks if she would act like his wife and daughter-in-law of his family. She accepts the offer and prepares to play the first leading role in her life as Lee Do-Han’s wife. At that time, she has an unexpected disrupter. That person is Lee Ji-Han (Moon Sang-Min), who is Lee Do-Han’s younger brother. Lee Ji-Han has ambitions to make his older brother Lee Do-Han the successor of the LJ Group. Lee Ji-Han works hard to achieve his goal, but his plan is disrupted by his brother’s sudden wedding announcement. Lee Ji-Han now tries to prevent his brother’s wedding and he brings Yoon Chae-Won (Bae Yoon-Kyoung) into the picture as his brother’s potential bride.

Since Ji Han wants Do Han to marry someone else who would ensure his succession to the company, he promises A Jeong that he will seduce her so that she will no longer want to marry Do Han. So, in Episode 4, he attempts to do just that.

Do Han buys her expensive one-of-a-kind clothes, takes her on a spontaneous trip to Busan to attend a film festival to watch a film by her favorite director, treats her to gourmet meals, and more.

Do Han explains that he has watched all of the K-Dramas that A Jeong appeared in. It was his source material as he studied the male leads so that he could become just that to her. He believes by being the perfect K-Drama male lead he will woo her.

The male leads in the dramas you were in. Young and rich, tall and handsome. The real-life version of that perfect description is me.

Yet, a K-Drama male lead didn’t come to mind when viewers watched the scene above. Netizens got deja vu…

Ji Han quoted ZEROBASEONE (also known as ZB1) member Ricky‘s viral Boys Planet introduction in which the idol said, “Young and rich, tall and handsome, I’m charisma boss baby Ricky.” Netizens pointed out the similarities on social media.

His impact has reached not just the internet but even K-Drama male leads!
