Drama ini menawarkan sebuah pertanyaan yang menarik: Bagaimana kalau ada aplikasi yang bisa memberi tahu siapa saja yang menyukaimu? Bayangkan hidup dengan teknologi seperti itu.

Sekilas, dunia seperti itu terdengar sempurna. Terutama bagi kita yang sering gengsi atau takut mengambil langkah pertama dalam hubungan. Namun, setelah dipikirkan lagi, muncul pertanyaan yang lebih besar. Benarkah mengetahui siapa yang mencintai kita akan membuat hubungan menjadi lebih baik?

  Life is good for Hyejin. At least, that’s what everyone believes when they look at her. She has built a successful career, surrounded herself with people who care about her, and secured a future that looks stable from the outside.
