Plot summary

Model student Hong Seol returns to college from a long break and finds herself caught up with Yoo Jung, a senior who's also known as Mr. Perfect. Seol feels like her life has taken a turn for the worse since Jung came into her life. The story alternates between the present day and the past events leading up to Seol's decision to take time off of school. Seol is a studious and hard-working overachiever who comes from a low-income background and has to work part-time to make ends meet. Jung is the rich heir to Taerang Group and is seemingly perfect; he is seen as nice and kind by almost all of his peers, but behind the scenes, he manipulates and destroys people who irritate him.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as south Korean webtoon. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12620245. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2012, 2016 and 2018.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
