Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Park Yoon-Jae (Yoon San-Ha) is a university student studying astronomy. He met Kim Ji-Eun (Arin) on his first blind date, while attending the university. He fell in love with her and they became boyfriend and girlfriend. One day, a strange man appears in front of Park Yoon-Jae and tells him that he is Kim Ji-Eun.

Kim Ji-Eun is pretty and a warm-hearted woman. One day, she wakes up and finds herself changed to a man. She meets her boyfriend Park Yoon-Jae and explains her situation to him. She begins to use the male name Kim Ji-Hoon (Yoo Jung-Hoo) and learns how to live as a man from her boyfriend. Kim Ji-Eun and Park Yoon-Jae decide to not break up and to wait for her to return to her original female appearance to continue their relationship. They try to figure out a way to make that happen.

Meanwhile, Kang Min-Joo (Chuu) is a popular girl attending the same university as Park Yoon-Jae. She also has a crush on him.

Debby May 14 2026 2:51 pm i love the movie so much it is very educating and funny

Booeu Jan 16 2026 2:41 pm Watching for Sanha and Arin?

I am Sep 18 2025 10:05 am I love this drama so much but I really really hate the character of min joo. She is so clingy to others even they are noy even her friends.

Gel Sep 01 2025 4:30 am I actually enjoyed this drama overall, though I have to admit I got a bit annoyed at times with Chu’s character and the café manager’s acting. Not sure if it was the way they were written or portrayed, but it just didn’t click with me. The main leads, on the other hand, did quite well especially for rookies. I even felt some real sparks between Yuri and Jihoon (am I the only one who noticed that? ?). Fingers crossed we get to see them as FL and ML in a future project!

Big credit to PD-nim too for not forcing a kissing scene between the two MLs in the finale. I have nothing against BL/GL genres, but I personally prefer a more wholesome, classic romance—and I’m glad they stayed true to that vibe. To the three main leads: thank you for your hard work, you really carried this show.

And just a little TMI, I’ve loved Arin since Alchemy of Souls! She’s absolutely gorgeous, and I think S-line is her best performance yet.

Pooie Aug 28 2025 7:52 pm It's fun really enjoyed it, the cast did well considering their lack of experience. If you let yourself go and roll with it, it's an enjoyable watch, it's not hight art but it's not supposed to be.

Jil Aug 28 2025 10:23 am Love is love !!!

tofu Aug 28 2025 9:49 am Just for humor, What if Kim Ji Eun gets pregnant and in between she transformed

R Aug 22 2025 3:29 pm i enjoy the acting of all four leads. especially with sanha and yunghoo, their acting with each other and other characters is really good.

after watching ep 10, i was glad jieun finally said something to minju. it’s bothersome to see yoonjae not be adamant on boundaries between him and minju, especially in front of his gf. it was annoying really and it was hard to feel bad for yoonjae when he’s not really being respectful to jieun/jihun.

excited for the final episodes~

Olya_1004 Aug 20 2025 8:00 am This drama seems to be getting mostly negative comments but I kind of like it. There is a lot of bi panic moments that are kind of cute,the characters are all great in my eyes except 2nd lead female,she really rubs me the wrong way and I don't like how Yoon Jae doesn't put a boundary and keeps letting her flirt with him like it's no big deal,grow a pair and tell her to stop. The drama is not meant to be too serious so people need to take it lightly and sure like any drama there are minor issues but you can mostly ignore them and enjoy the show.

Personally I quite like the acting of the male version of FL although its funny its the 2nd drama I am seeing him in and he is again someone's transformation rather than a character of his own. He is doing really well with the feminine mannerisms and stares.

All in all,if you want something light with some cute romances and a drama that doesn't take itself too seriously you should watch it.

this is bad Aug 13 2025 11:23 am horrible. FL is mostly irrational so bad that she puts themselves in a position where she didn't want to be in (ep7 play). ML keeps the flirty girl beside her right in front of the supposedly gf. He can't be firm with her that's why she keeps chasing. I guess the stupidity in writing was meant to be funny for the viewers, but it just comes across as stupid, only makes it annoying. just bad writing overall. the most tolerable character is the FL best friend.

Pat Aug 12 2025 8:01 am What's up with the ML? Hanging out with the girl flirting with him in front of the ML? Can't stand that plot. 5/0

Seum Aug 11 2025 10:26 am @tofu. I think she's filming S Line at that time and in webtoon her male version has more screen time

tofu Aug 11 2025 1:38 am @a. I don't know why too much strong words. And FL has a very small screen time.

Ami Aug 07 2025 3:26 am I feel like the relationship between ml and fl isn't that good, I mean the ml didn't even know anything about her (before she turned into a man) but he supposedly Loves her? I don't like the ml at all but I love the fl's bestfriend. Watching it for their friendship only

B.K. Jul 29 2025 7:49 am I don't cate whether it's a great drama or not. I'm watching this whole thing for Chuu. lol But two episodes in so far... I actually like it. Just don't overthink things while watching this, y'all.

Kenkenken Jul 26 2025 12:15 pm I hope this is not like "A good day to be a dog" I was disappointed with the ending episode of S Line where Arin's starred.

Santorini Jul 25 2025 9:31 pm Saw ppl discuss the kiss scene a lot. I do agree with that but I think it's a way to show that the ml and fl are madly in love with each other. They only have half of an episode to show that before she turned into a man. They are cute tho.

Aimee Jul 25 2025 9:28 pm The drama is so fun to watch. Been finding something light-hearted lately and this is the one I come back to after months! The ML and FL are so cute. And it gets interesting after she turned into a man. Tho it's still awkward between both of them, you can still see that Yunjae really cares for his gf. Can't wait to see what will happen next and see more characters!!

Avys Jul 25 2025 3:39 am Everyone was saying that it is bad maybe it is not just their taste personally I liked it. Well gonna agree on kissing scene yes it is too much but you can just skip it anyways. Gonna comeback here after few more eps for another review

Avi Jul 24 2025 10:59 pm Everyone is too mad about this drama, and it's been 2 episodes. I can't imagine how impatient and critical you are of everything else. I personally don't like a lot of dramas, but this one is one of the few entertaining ones! Good premise, funny scenes, maybe tone down the kisses but I don't mind! Everyone wants something new, but when the new comes along suddenly everyone hates it - make up your minds.This gets a 8/10 just from the first two episodes alone, can't wait for the next 10 - this is so objectively good and lighthearted!

agnes Jul 24 2025 9:21 am It's simple. This is very Bad!

Alley Jul 24 2025 12:39 am for me, all the actors did well in the epilogue. can't wait to see more~

Avi Jul 24 2025 12:14 am Honestly, i believe that S-Line was filmed after this drama was, so I get how it must have differed for Arin to be here. But damn, the hate is insane only after the first episode.

Is there queerbaiting involved? Yes, and it's questionable - but it's KBS2, so they're not going to explicitly brand it as a BL, given that they're The national broadcaster. I'm critical of many other dramas, but this one isn't even the worst of the bunch - this was a fun watch for me: it's silly, nonsensical, and absurd, but all that makes it just a bit more charming. Additionally, this is a 12-episode series, and we're just getting started. Is patience no longer a thing since the rise of Netflix and other streaming sites that dump a whole season all at once? Give it some time to cook and Then gather your thoughts, what a bunch of impatient killjoys. This drama gets a good 8/10 from the first episode just for the interesting premise.

YEOU Jul 23 2025 10:55 pm What Arin did, to deserved take a part in this drama? She was so good in S Line, and kaboom! She was throwing herself in one of the worst drama of the year, at least after first episode. Sorry, it's 1/10 from me.

annakyung Jul 23 2025 10:24 pm shaving without any hair in your face? and dark circle in his eyes? can you see what i can't see? This drama is clearly mediocre. It's not funny at all, just bunch of kiss scenes and trying so hard to be a flopped BL

dany Jul 23 2025 8:45 pm the director must be crazy, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss again between Sanha and Arin. This is unacceptable. I'm sure he's just a pervert that wants to see male idol and female idol kiss over and over again!

zyo.yah Jul 19 2025 9:23 am Haha, for a sec I thought I was just imagining Chuu the one on the poster. LMAO !

foreverbin Jul 08 2025 5:12 pm Fighting, Sanha!!! Can’t wait to see you shine so bright!

Here for chuu Jul 01 2025 7:36 pm Chuu's debut as an actress?? Hell yeah!!!!

fl Jan 15 2025 9:06 pm Chuu drama debut?

sanie arinie chuuuuuuu Sep 11 2024 4:29 am sounds intersting looking forward to it. Hwaiting
