She tries out the newly-released “love alarm” app, a mobile dating application which lets users know when someone within a ten-meter radius has feelings for them. This app, which despite having a still unknown developer, becomes widely used after gaining a lot of fascination from people.

The production team has still yet to make an announcement on the two male actors who will vie for Jo Jo’s heart. One of these two men is a prickly tsundere – a guy who seems cold on the outside but is actually warm on the inside, while the other is his best friend who makes the perfect boy next door thanks to his kind and sweet personality.
