    Frank loves Joy. Joy loves Frank. At least, that’s what they tell their parents . . .

    Frank Li is caught between his parents’ expectations and his own California life.

    Frank’s parents emigrated from Korea, and have pretty much one big rule for Frank – he must only date Korean girls.

    His friend Joy Song is in the same boat and so they make a pact: they’ll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom.

    Frank thinks fake-dating is the perfect plan, but it leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love – or himself – at all.
