Synopsis

Lee Jung-hee is the second daughter of a family who owns a lingerie factory. She leads a group of teenage girls, whom they have chaotic adventures together. She meets Bae Dong-moon through a group date and Dong-moon immediately falls for her. However, Jung-hee has a crush on Sohn Jin who is a cute looking senior student of a boys school and begins to follow him around to draw his attention.

Then one day, Park Hye-joo who is a transfer student from Seoul joins their class and becomes the center of attention, creating jealousy and friction among the heroine and her friends. Despite Jung-hee's attention, Sohn Jin is attracted to Hye-joo. However, Hye-joo has no romantic feelings for Sohn Jin as she is interested in Joo Young-choon who is an ex-gangster now turned to a local handy-man.

It's the story of their growing friendship, as the heroine and the new girl starts to bond despite the initial rivalry. There's also a darker side to the story, with a mystery surrounding an increasing number of sexual assaults in the city. And at the local toy factory, female workers begin disappearing one by one.
