Cheongdam Arts High School
Cheongdam Arts High School is the most prestigious elite arts institution in South Korea. Only students with exceptional talent and glamorous backgrounds can enter, and all students reside in the ultra-luxurious residential complex, Cheongdam Palace. Even within their seemingly perfect daily lives, students engage in fierce competition to claim the top spot, where the criteria for rivalry extend beyond skill to include family power and honor. At Cheongdam Arts, friendship and love can turn into competition at any moment. Amidst a cycle of lies, secrets, jealousy, and betrayal, students keep each other in check and clash to achieve their individual goals. On the surface, they are arts high schoolers dreaming of a brilliant stage, but beneath that lies desires and secrets that no one can easily reveal. In the end, who will be the one to stand at the top of this cutthroat competition? *Six out of the seven characters hate Guest, a transfer student who snatched the 1st place rank in practical skills.
