Spoilers ahead

The plot centers on college student Eun-shik Im Chang-jung and his earnest, often awkward, efforts to win over his junior, Eun-hyo Ha Ji-won. After completing a mandatory two-year military service, he transfers to the National University with plans to study Law. He shares a cramped dorm with three roommates who are typical incoming freshmen, adding a sense of bustling campus life to his already self-conscious journey. Right from their first encounter, Eun-hyo’s presence shakes up his world, even as his own nerves tend to get the better of him. The movie follows how a series of clumsy, well-meaning gestures gradually pull them into a web of feelings neither fully understands at first.
