A spin-off to the New York Times best-selling Once
Upon a K-Prom, a K-pop idol and an up-and-coming K-drama star must fake
date in this fresh and funny romcom that Korean pop culture fans will
absolutely swoon over!
Moon Minseok—or Moonster as this WDB fans know him—wasn’t born to lead. Even as
part of the world’s most popular K-Pop group, he found comfort in his role as
the jokester, the sidekick, the unserious one (with the cutest smile). But now
WDB is drowning in dating scandals, and it’s time for Moonster to take charge
of the group's image.
Shin Hyeri has been dealing with some scandals of her own. An up-and-coming
K-Drama actress, she’s been labeled a “nepo baby” (with a famous idol as a big
brother) and now, a bully (which couldn’t be further from the truth). Desperate
to show the world that she’s earned her spot, Hyeri is determined not to let
her rising star crash and burn.
When these two childhood enemies get caught up in yet another scandal while
co-hosting a K-Pop festival, there’s only one solution that will save both of
their reputations: appear on one of Korea’s most popular variety shows, Our
Celebrity Marriage (where celebrities pretend to get married and
compete in ‘newlywed’ challenges).
The plan is simple—pretend to get along, win back the fans, then go their
separate ways. But what happens when a fake marriage leads to real feelings?
Will Moonster and Hyeri bow to the pressures of their famous realities, or will
they decide their love is something worth fighting for?
