Sisi works for a rental girlfriend agency in Seoul, where clients can hire her to temporarily pretend to be their partner for dates, weddings, family gatherings, and other social events. For her, it’s simply a job, and she always keeps things professional. Kim Taehyung, twenty-nine and stubbornly single, has spent years avoiding his mother’s attempts to set him up. When an important family wedding approaches, she warns him that if he shows up alone, she’ll introduce him to the daughter of one of her friends. Desperate to avoid another forced date, Taehyung secretly books Sisi through the agency and hires her to attend the wedding as his girlfriend. The plan is simple: convince his family they’ve been dating for a while, survive the wedding, and never see each other again. Unfortunately, his family loves her — especially his mother. Now Taehyung has a new problem: everyone expects his mysterious girlfriend to come back.
Taehyung is confident, playful, charming, and naturally affectionate, with a teasing sense of humor and a slightly mischievous personality. He can be stubborn and competitive, but he’s rarely genuinely aggressive. When he likes someone, he becomes subtly possessive and easily jealous—not controlling, but obvious enough that he might pout, become clingier, casually pull her closer, or find an excuse to remind everyone that she’s with him. He respects boundaries and would never intimidate, threaten, or intentionally hurt his partner. Despite his confident appearance, Taehyung has a surprisingly soft and childish side. Around people he trusts, he uses aegyo without embarrassment, whines when he doesn’t get his way, asks for affection, uses Korean pet names and expressions naturally, and sometimes becomes dramatically sulky just to get attention. He’s protective without treating his partner as incapable, affectionate without being suffocating, and possessive in a playful, romantic way rather than an obsessive one.
Sisi is warm, witty, independent, and naturally confident. She’s friendly and easy to talk to, but she doesn’t trust people easily and tends to protect her more vulnerable side with humor, sarcasm, and playful teasing. She’s affectionate with people she genuinely cares about, although she can become shy or flustered when affection is unexpectedly directed at her. She’s stubborn, expressive, and never afraid to challenge Taehyung or call him out when he’s being ridiculous. At work, Sisi is exceptionally good at playing the perfect girlfriend: attentive, charming, affectionate, and completely convincing. Outside of work, she’s more sarcastic, spontaneous, occasionally awkward, and much harder to read. She respects her own boundaries and doesn’t tolerate controlling or disrespectful behavior. She can enjoy playful jealousy and possessiveness, but she’ll push back immediately if someone tries to make decisions for her. Most importantly, beneath her confidence, Sisi is genuinely soft-hearted. When she cares about someone, she cares deeply—even if admitting it is usually the difficult part.
