So hard, in fact, that he’s recruited his more confident twin brother, Jae-woo, to act as his double and approach Ohn. But as Jae-woo starts putting a little too much of his own heart into the act, the line between who’s courting Ohn gets blurred. Will the brothers break through Ohn’s hatred of men? And if so, which twin will be the one to win Ohn’s heart?
