Jun Pyo then puts a red card in Jan Di's locker which indicated that she was a victim of the F4. After continuous bullying, Jan Di still won't bow down to him. During this times, Jun Pyo is starting to develop a feeling for Jan Di already. So, he decided to announce to everyone that the only reason why Jan Di is doing what she's doing is because Jan Di likes him and was just embarass. But the truth is Jan Di dislikes him for what he had done to her and she already has taken a liking to Ji Hoo. Jun Pyo tries to force himself to Jan Di continuously. After refusing several times to Jun Pyo's proposal, Jun Pyo decided that he will leave her alone. During these times Jan Di got an oppurtunity to actually go on a date with Ji Hoo. Howerver, on the day of the date itself everywhere they go, everything she sees reminds her of Jun Pyo. The only thing that Jan Di can think of the whole time are the memories she have with Jun Pyo. That's how she realizes that she is indeed starting to fall for him (Jun Pyo). But because Ji Hoo is such a loyal friend to Jun Pyo, when he realized that his friend is still very much inlove with Jan Di, he decided to back off and decided to do a prank on Jun Pyo to finally admit that he is very much inlove with Jan Di. The prank works and Jun Pyo finally admits to everyone his true feelings for Jan Di. Because of that, Jun Pyo persists in showing Jan Di his affections. As their relationship becomes official, Jun Pyo's mother became an obstacle. She does everything possible to prevent Jun Pyo from being with Jan Di, as she believes that her son, Goo Jun Pyo shouldn't be dating a commoner (referring to Jan Di).

Ji Hoo and Geum Jan Di

In the beginning, Jan Di develops a crush on Ji Hoo. The first time Ji Hoo helps her was when she was being bullied and he was the only one to do so. Jan Di persuades Ji Hoo to go to France to follow Seo Hyun, his love interest, despite her regretting to do so. When Ji Hoo returns from France he discovers that he has feelings for Jan Di. Ji Hoo attempts to confess numerous times, one of which Jan Di falls asleep within, the second time she does not hear him and lastly he gives his mother's ring to her. Yet, Jan Di refuses because no matter how hard she tries she cannot forget Jun Pyo. Upon realizing that he cannot have Jan Di, he stays by her side to protect her whenever she needs his help.

Yi Jung and Ga Eul

Ga Eul is Jan Di's best friend since kindergarten. Ga Eul initially thinks of Yi Jung as a guy with "handsome face" who only plays with girls. Later she starts developing romantic feelings for Yi Jung after he helps her get over her boyfriend who just played with her. She realizes that inside Yi Jung is a pure and lovely person. In order to get Jan Di and Jun Pyo together, Yi Jung takes Ga Eul on a fake date. On Valentine's Day, she even makes a present for him to express her gratitude. At first, it's obvious that Yi Jung only thinks of her as a good friend when he says he doesn't like girls that are "nice, idiotic, or involved with his friend". Yet, since Ga Eul helps him through his self-destruction, Yi Jung finds out that Ga Eul, not Eun Jae (his prior love-interest) has always been by his side. He eventually shows some feelings towards her, especially when he promises to visit her first when he returns from Sweden .

Jun Pyo and Jae Kyung

Jae Kyung is Jun Pyo's supposed-to-be wife by means of an engagement. Both their parents planned for their fixed marriage for the merger of the two huge companies in Korea (Shinhwa Group and JK Group). As the series goes on, Jae Kyung falls in love with Jun Pyo while Jan Di being hurt always and realizes that she really loves Jun Pyo. On their supposed-to-be marriage, Jae Kyung gave up her love for Jun Pyo because she knows that Jun Pyo's life would be miserable without Jan Di.

Sypnosis

While delivering a student’s dry cleaning, Geum Jan Di saves the life of a student at the most prestigious school in Korea. Her actions soon become public and exposes the bullying within the school. To silence the public’s attention, Jan Di is offered a swimming scholarship to Shinhwa which she declines but her family forces her to attend.

During her first day at Shinhwa, Jan Di learns of the famous F4 and of the other students' adoration and fixation with the boys in the group. Gu Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jung, and Song Woo Bin are the richest and most powerful kids within Shinhwa and Korea. Subsequently, they use their power to terrorize weaker students or those they do not like. Jan Di, instead of being impressed, becomes enraged and fantasizes about confronting Gu Jun Pyo, the leader and initiator of many of the bullying acts. She gains courage to confront him when a friend accidentally spills ice cream on his shoes and he demands the girl lick it off. Jan Di defends her friend and attempts to reason with Jun Pyo’s tyrannical demand. When he refuses to relent, Jan Di turns violent, knocking Jun Pyo to the ground. Engaged by this, Gu Jun Pyo declares war on Jan Di and encourages the other students to bully her. Jan Di, however, is resistant, refusing to apologize to Gu Jun Pyo, and stands by her decision to fight him.

Ironically, Gu Jun Pyo, having never been stood up to, begins to develop feelings for her. He tries unsuccessfully to woo her as she slowly begins to spend more time with Jun Pyo and his friends. Jan Di teaches Jun Pyo that money cannot buy everything and in order to have real friends, he himself must be real or use his heart, but Gu Jun Pyo still does not understand why someone like Jan Di should dislike him. As the story progresses, Jun Pyo falls deeper in love with Jan Di and she learns how to open herself to his love as well.

As love begins to blossom, Jun Pyo’s mother discovers them and deems it unsuitable. She does everything in her power to keep the two apart, even arranging a marriage for Jun Pyo. Other factors keep arising as another member of the group falls in love with Jan Di and in a twist of fate, Jun Pyo loses his memory. In the end, however, Gu Jun Pyo and Jan Di learn that love conquers all and that they are truly soul mates.
