He Was Cool
Unexpected date starts with one little mistake!
Directed by Lee Hwan-kyung
Produced by BM Entertainment
A lighthearted romantic comedy built on a meet-cute misunderstanding where an online insult exchange between a high school girl and a notorious bully leads to unexpected connection.
When high school girl Han Ye-won finds an offensive note on the internet school board left by arrogant Ji Eun-seong from vocational school, she replies even more offensively. She doesn't know he's hot-tempered and well-known as a bully. So when Ji Eun-seong starts looking for her to teach her a lesson, Han Ye-won realizes how big her mistake was.
