The upcoming Netflix series follows the story of a mysterious woman named Kim Mo Mi, played by Go Hyun Jung. She works as an ordinary office employee by day and broadcast jockey by night.
Due to her insecurity, she hides behind a mask during her live broadcast.
Joining Go Hyun Jung is Ahn Jae Hong as Joo Oh Nam, who harbors secret feelings towards his co-worker, Kim Mo Mi.
Like the broadcast jockey, he too has an inferiority complex and his only source of joy is watching her on live streams.

The upcoming Netflix series will be Go Hyun Jung's next project after thriller mystery K-drama "Reflection of You" with Shin Hyun Bin. This will be Ahn Jae Hong's comeback to the small screen after the 2019 series "Be Melodramatic."
