A society where people are judged by appearances. A fantasy romance drama series where a girl finds a magical ring that transforms her into the most datable person.

Mo Nan Hee was never the attractive girl for whom guys would show interest. Until one day, she gets a magical ring that transforms her looks. Meanwhile, Park Se Gun, the most popular guy on campus for his looks and known to be shallow and date attractive girls, falls head over heels for Nan Hee (or her transformation). But Nan Hee is different from the other girls he dated. She is socially inept and violent. Somehow, he finds himself falling even more in love with her despite her negative qualities.

Choi Se Hoon is the head of G.Choi, a chart-topping K-pop entertainment agency with a top-billing roster of star acts. Many think he is blessed with the Midas touch. He, too, believes he can make a star out of just about anyone he chooses. He is rich and successful – but also aloof, arrogant, and conceited.

One day, he meets a very unusual individual, Lee Yi Ryung, an innocent and naïve young woman from a humble and conservative countryside family. In almost every way, she is his polar opposite: shy, not brash, and humble, not self-important. He decides to recruit her to become G.Choi’s latest star but is shocked to discover that she expresses no interest in becoming a K-pop singer.
