Ji-ho, the South-Korean exchange student, seems to know all about romance. When meeting the rather shy Kaede, who has secretly been in love with Yusuke for ages, she knows just what to do. In her seemingly fruitless attempt to teach them proper courting South-Korean style, Ji-Ho must also deal with her own tragic loss.
