The Plot That Has Everyone Talking

The storyline revolves around Seo Mi-rae — a webtoon development manager experiencing professional fatigue — who avoids complicated offline relationships and instead enrolls in an advanced digital matchmaking simulation.

But real life keeps interrupting. In reality, she keeps crossing paths with Kyeong-nam, played by Seo In-guk, the two gradually becoming “overtime work buddies” — their slow-burn connection building alongside her virtual adventures, hinting at a more grounded romance that complicates her idea of the perfect match.
