   Summary

   When Jumin Han decides it’s time to find a suitable wife - for business reasons, obviously - the RFA immediately panics. He may be rich, powerful, and handsome, but he’s also emotionally constipated and treats human interaction like a boardroom negotiation.

   Enter Zen: actor, heartthrob, and (alleged) master of romance. At the RFA’s insistence (and after much dramatic resistance), Zen agrees to coach Jumin in the art of flirting, dating, and generally not terrifying women. But as the “lessons” go on, lines blur, tempers flare, and Jumin starts to wonder if he really wants a wife… or just one annoyingly beautiful tutor.
