To the beautiful you she s mine
Plot
Goo Jae-hee (Sulli) is a Korean girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Kang Tae-joon (Choi Min-ho). She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Korea to attend the same school that Tae-joon attends after he suffers an accident that could potentially end his career. There is a catch, however: Tae-joon attends an all-boys high school so Jae-hee cuts her hair short and disguised herself as a boy to enter the school. There, she becomes Tae-joon's room mate.
When Jae-hee's older brother, Daniel Dawson (Julien Kang), comes to Korea, he finds out what his little sister is doing. Daniel soon decides to make Jae-hee leave the school. Jae-hee and Daniel argued in her and Tae-joon's room, and Tae-joon overhears their conversation, and discovers Jae-hee's secret.
Tae-joon soon realizes that the reason Jae-hee is attending their school is because of him. He decides to keep Jae-hee's secret to himself, in fear that she might leave the school. Soon his cold personality changes as he develops feelings for Jae-hee.
