When she loses her job, she believes it’s Who Joon’s fault and protests outside of his agency’s headquarters. Photos of Lee Geun Young’s one-woman protest circulate online, making her known as Who Joon’s No. 1 anti-fan. Things take a strange turn when she and Who Joon are cast in a virtual marriage reality show with the concept of a star who has to live with his biggest anti-fan.
