Joo In Hyung is a high school girl living
alone in an RV after her mother's sudden death. She also has some
sort of degenerative disease that will soon kill her. Despite the
loneliness and bullying at school, In Hyung is determined to have a
positive outlook on life. One day four handsome guys show up at her
RV, and while she tries to shoo them away initially, they eventually
win her over and help make her hard life much more bearable. What
happens when the teen idol from her school, Junior, finds out about
her four helpers, or knights? Will he be able to convince In Hyung
that she no longer needs them? And how will the knights react when
they learn their fate once In Hyung finds happiness?
*While
the script wasn't the best, the plot was very interesting from a
conceptual point of view. Girls in despair have knights magically
show up in their lives to help them find happiness again, but the
question arises about the fate of said knights once their duties are
fulfilled. There were a few references to the traditional “little
mermaid” fairy tale: the non-Disney version has the mermaid turn
into sea foam or bubbles and disappear at the end of the story.
Honestly, though, how is anyone supposed to be happy when one of the
lovers in a couple has to die? That's why this drama didn't earn a
higher grade; I like everyone to have a truly happy ending.*
