Summary

● Logline:
Min-soo, a timid attention seeker who accidentally becomes a viral meme star overnight after one embarrassing video resurfaces online, finds his life turned upside down. By his side is Yoon-mi, his best friend of ten years — a diligent office worker by day and a woman living a secret life by night.
Together, these two emotionally attention-starved souls stumble into a chaotic and heartfelt romantic comedy about validation, vulnerability, and the strange ways we seek to be seen.

● Genre:
Attention-Seeking Romantic Comedy (60 minutes × 12 episodes)

● Creator’s Note:
Deep down, we are all attention seekers.
After all, many of us grew up singing “I wish I could be on TV.”

The stage has simply changed.

Television has faded, and in its place stand YouTube and social media. Today, anyone can become the star of their own show — if they want to.
The problem is that not everyone becomes a hit.

Likes and views tell the truth with brutal honesty.

Some receive the attention of millions.
Others barely reach a hundred.

And so we hesitate.
We want to believe we could be the main character, yet we fear the possibility that the numbers might prove we are only extras in someone else’s story.
For now, staying offstage feels safer.

This story begins with people who keep stepping backward whenever attention approaches.

Min-soo craves attention, but he’s terrified of it at the same time — a painfully timid attention seeker.
He dreams of being the grand finale’s leading man, yet he believes attention belongs only to those born with it.
So instead, he chooses the role of the flashy supporting character.

Yoon-mi, on the other hand, has always had the talent.
She has drawn attention since childhood and often finds herself at the center of every story.
The only attention she has never received… is from the one person she truly wanted it from.

Strangely, these two people make each other feel at ease.
With each other, there’s no need to impress, no need to prove anything.

And within that space, they slowly learn something new:
attention is not measured by numbers.

This series isn’t simply about influencers or social media.
It’s about the quiet emptiness we all carry — the desire to be noticed, acknowledged, and ultimately healed through connection.
