Synopsis

Gorya (Tu) is a high school girl who works part-time at a flower shop with her best friend Kaning (Prim) to help her family's financial condition. Her life is simple and regular, until she passes the entrance exam and receives a scholarship to a prestigious, expensive high school, turning her into the family's only hope out of poverty.[3]

The school is famous for its notorious seniors F4: Thyme (Bright) the group's leader, Ren (Dew), Kavin (Win), and MJ (Nani), four boys who are heirs to the country's richest billionaires. They sparkle with looks, influences and are big bullies.[4] They display aggressive behaviors, giving "Red Cards" to anybody they dislike. Nobody dares to face them. Gorya despises their artificial lifestyle.[5]

Gorya stands up to Thyme's bullying, leaving all the boys in awe. Gorya instantly smites Thyme who romantically pursues her, however she shows no interest because of his first impression. She has a crush on Ren, but Ren likes his childhood love, Mira (Fah). Amidst all chaos, Gorya slowly begins to fall for Thyme because of his character development and kindness. She becomes aware that Thyme's world is different.[6] [7]

This is a coming-of-age story of a teenage girl along with four young boys. They together go through obstacles, mistakes, friendship, encouragement, happiness and sadness. Most importantly, they learn about love and sense the real world of adulthood.[8] [9]
