    Life isn't easy when you have a brother who's always considered better than you. Hyunsuk's situation is even worse since he shares the same face as his so-called perfect twin. His life starts to change, however, when a new student arrives at his school and sees something in him no one else had ever bothered to look for. Hialeah, already too familiar with the feeling of being alone, is set on befriending him. But can Hyunsuk finally come out of his twin's shadow and open up to someone, when his brother makes it clear he doesn't want him to find happiness?

L’envie de l’essayer est trop forte : elle y fait jouer l’album d’un célèbre duo country.
