==Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©==
Ma-Ha ([[Jung Ji-So]]) is a member of girl group Teaparty. The other members are
Ri-A ([[Minseo]]) and Hyun-Ji ([[Lim Na-Young (1995)|Lim Na-Young]]). Since their debut, they haven't achieved much success. Ma-Ha has received some attention due to her resemblance to popular singer Ri-Ma ([[Park Ji-Yeon (T-ara)|Park Ji-Yeon]]).

Teaparty then takes part in a reality TV program, involving popular idol groups participating in sporting events. Ma-ha wants to catch the attention of viewers. Meanwhile, Kwon Ryeok ([[Lee Jun-Young (U-KISS)|Lee Jun-Young]]) is member of popular boy band Shax. He is well liked and is good at singing, dancing, and acting. He is also focused on maintaining his success. He doesn't like Ma-Ha, who imitates the appearance of popular singer Ri-Ma. During the TV program, Hyeok ([[Jong Ho (Ateez)|Jong Ho]]) from boy band Shax gets injured due to Ma-Ha. Kwon Ryeok bursts out with anger at Ma-Ha. She also receives hate from other people. Ma-Ha doesn't want to see Kwon Ryeok anymore, but they cross paths on TV programs and while performing in a drama series.
