   The male lead is a wealthy playboy; the female lead is already in his arms the first time they meet. The female lead is outgoing, eloquent, and has high emotional intelligence. She doesn't have the male lead's background, but she's not poor either; her grandfather apparently earned her a hundred million. The female lead's best friend is also good friends with the male lead, and they met at a party together. I think the female lead is actually attracted to his type; she was immediately drawn to him, but knowing he's a playboy, she deliberately avoided him. Unexpectedly, the male lead pursued her online, and she couldn't resist and ended up with him.

The gist is that the male lead has had many relationships due to his family background and psychological issues, treating them as everyday occurrences. However, there's no sex, no kissing, no real love; it's just relationships driven by his psychological problems. He falls for his best friend's cousin, a wonderful, innocent girl who's never been in a relationship. The female lead immediately rejects him, saying, "I've seen you in so many relationships, you're too dirty, I don't want to date you." The male lead breaks down. During this time, the female lead even lies to him, saying she's in a relationship, hoping he'll give up. The male lead, unable to bear the pain any longer, drives a high-speed car back to the female lead's house, even trending on social media for his "high-speed car chase for love." The female lead still can't accept it and can't get over her emotional hurdle. He can only silently support her, paying attention to many details. Finally, he gets injured saving her, which makes her waver, and they end up together. At their wedding, the male lead kisses the female lead while crying; it's incredibly touching.

He's constantly making headlines and getting involved in scandals outside, but at home he secretly finds the best doctor for his wife's grandmother, hides a bunch of photos he took of his wife, and even keeps a diary! That contrast of "everyone thinks I'm a jerk, but I only love you" is both heartbreaking and addictive to watch.

    The male lead starts as a playboy, experiencing a heart-wrenching unrequited love in school. How humble can one be in love? So humble that she sits silently below him, heartbroken, watching his promised wedding next year with the school beauty as her bride, a nameless and unrecognizable figure. She's suffered countless summers loving him; she's loved him since birth, her childhood sweetheart. She's never dared to confess, afraid of losing a friend. To love someone is to remain by their side as a friend. To be in the same school as him, she studies tirelessly, even if it means getting the lowest score, just to be near him and catch a glimpse of him is enough to make her happy. When he mocks her for being last, she doesn't get angry but congratulates and envies him for being first. Until his wealthy roommate, the school beauty, appears as a rival, she begins... Her life seemed precarious; it appeared he no longer belonged to her. The school beauty asked her to deliver a love letter, which he mistook for a confession. The trampled letter shattered her unrequited love, leaving her heartbroken. She feigned amnesia, wanting to be brave once more, and experienced unprecedented happiness. His true feelings were revealed until he discovered she had deceived him, faking amnesia. She was abandoned. His promise to marry her next year turned into a reality on this day next year when she received his engagement invitation. Her heart was in turmoil; she stubbornly refused to attend, yet still went, consumed by unspoken jealousy. Then, in even greater despair, she attended his wedding with the school beauty. She was supposed to be the one wearing the wedding dress, but why, while she was in agony, did he propose to her at the wedding with the school beauty's ring?
