[3][4][5][6][7] Kang Ho-gu[8] has never had a proper girlfriend, with girls constantly taking advantage of his sweet, naive nature by enjoying all the perks of dating then friend zone-ing him.

His relationship-savvy twin sister Kang Ho-kyung mocks him and his best friends Kim Tae-hee and Shin Chung-jae for being sorely lacking in any dating skills.

The timid, bullied Ho-gu had a crush on Do-hee in their teens, when her beauty and sports cred made her the most popular girl in high school.

Director Pyo Min-soo and screenwriter Yoon Nan-joong previously worked together on the tvN series Flower Boy Ramen Shop in 2011.

[12] Hogu's Love’s original author Yoo Hyun-sook also wrote the webtoon I Steal Peeks at Him Every Day, which was adapted into another tvN series Flower Boys Next Door in 2013.
