Synopsis

The drama tells the story of five youths and their messy encounters with the concept of first love.

Now they must all learn to live together and learn to love.

Cast

Main

Tae-o has been best friends with Song-i since they were in elementary, and feels the constant need to take care of her. Because of this, he has always been conflicted about his feelings towards her, often having a secret on-and-off crush. He initially pursues a relationship with Ryu Se-hyeon.
Song-i experiences the most hardship out of the entire group, as her father dies and her mother abandons her. She is evicted from her home after her father passes away, and is left homeless. She is best friends with Tae-o, and she initially understands her relationship with him as platonic. She is an architecture major. She develops a relationship at first with Seo Do-hyeon.
A friend of Tae-o's from college. He focuses on finding a stable job and studying, rather than finding a girlfriend. Unlike Tae-o, he does not come from a wealthy family. He is the only one of the group to not live with Tae-o. He develops a relationship with Song-i. However, he then starts to feud with Tae-O over Song-i, thus ending their friendship for a brief period.
Ga-rin and Tae-o's families are friends. She was born into an extremely wealthy family, and is an heiress to the Daebaek Group. Ga-rin wanted to experience her own independence so she ran away to Tae-o's house in Seoul. She develops a relationship with Hun later.
Hun has known Tae-o since elementary, but the two didn't become friends until college, before Hun dropped out. Like Tae-o, he comes from a well-off family, but he is financially cutoff by his father, a college professor. He continues to pursue his dream of becoming a musician/actor. He develops a relationship with Ga-rin later.
