Confused, Yoon-jae calls Ji-eun on her phone, but the male Ji-eun standing in front of Yoon-jae answers. Though he initially remains quite skeptical about Ji-eun, Yoon-jae gradually comes around.

Ji-eun is just as clueless about how she turned into a man. She woke up one morning and looked at herself in the mirror, only to find a handsome man staring back at her. The two have a number of miscommunications and accidents while they attempt to comprehend how Ji-eun changed. However, their relationship endures such hardships because Ji-eun is still the charming person Yoon-jae fell in love with, despite his newfound manliness.
