Synopsis
Go I-deum is a total shut-in who excels at one thing: writing incredibly passionate, spicy BL web novels. The only problem? He is a complete virgin with zero real-world experience. Trying to stimulate his brain and overcome writer’s block, I-deum engages in a bit of sensual “self-care” right in front of his open window. Mid-session, he looks up and realizes that his handsome neighbor across the street—acting major and soon-to-be celeb Kwon Jae-yi—is watching the entire show. Instead of calling the cops, the younger, dangerously charming bisexual icon decides to introduce himself. What starts as a horrifying, secondhand-embarrassment-inducing nightmare quickly turns into a deeply hilarious, explicitly intimate romance as I-deum realizes his fictional fantasies are about to become very real.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn’t Jae-yi just close his blinds?
Jae-yi is incredibly confident, slightly mischievous, and highly intrigued by his neighbor. Rather than being offended or creeped out by what he saw, he found I-deum’s flushed, panicked reaction endearing. Jae-yi uses the embarrassing situation as the perfect icebreaker to corner the older man, establishing an immediate dynamic where he holds all the cards.
Will I-deum actually get real-life experience?
Absolutely! The core comedy and romance of the series revolve around I-deum’s vast theoretical knowledge of romance completely clashing with his total lack of practical experience. Jae-yi acts as the perfect, willing partner to help him “research,” bringing the tropes I-deum writes about directly to life in his own apartment.
