When Jenny met Jaewoo for the first time in her uncle's Karaoke Cafe in LA she doesn't know who he is. And well, in her defense he never gave more than his name. In his defense, how can you not know k-pop idol? They spend one night running around a music festival and then part ways. So when she moves to Seoul and meets him in SAA, guess it was whose time to be shocked!
It's a young adult contemporary romance. It is how it's supposed to be. Light, lovely, and a lot of heart. But it also is so much more.

To the K-pop and K-drama fans, please do read.
Ps. This cover is so gorgeous!
