“True Beauty” star Hwang In Yeop will transform into Na Il Deung, a boy who has no idea what he really wants in life. He used to be a star student who only focused on his studies and didn’t know how to bond with other people, but he begins to change after he learns about the fun of magic with Lee Eul and Yun Ai.

Hwang In Yeop commented, “[Na Il Deung] doesn’t know what he likes. At the same time, he bluffs a lot, and he has odd charms.” Kim Sung Yoon added, “Thanks to Hwang In Yeop, the No. 1 student who pretends to be smart and strong has become a little softer, cuter, and more lovable. Each character has distinct characteristics, and I was most satisfied with the harmony they created.”
