Synopsis[]
Soohyun doesn’t have a “first love,” but he definitely has a “first hate” - his high school classmate Eunsung. A smooth-mannered all-star, Eunsung snaps up first place in everything, leaving Soohyun in second place. Winning out over Eunsung is the one thing that motivates Soohyun, but after graduation, Soohyun finds himself with a dull, mediocre life. One day, Eunsung appears on the news, knee-deep in scandal and, for once, not perfectly at ease...lighting Soohyun’s inner fires again. Desperate to see a fallen Eunsung with his own eyes, Soohyun jumps into the fray as a reporter and gets Eunsung to strike an outrageous deal with him.
