Should there be only one first love?

It’s like a growing pain or fantasy—the story of a 17-year-old’s first love that will attack and make your heart flutter!

The first love return project that started with an attempt to meet her seventh destined first love!

Seventeen-year-old Ma Soi believes that there can be only one first love. But if the café barista oppa she fell in love with at first sight in fourth grade was her only first love, then what about the boy from the baseball team she met in fifth grade? Or the cute boy she thought she would have a serious fling with, or the super charming twin brothers next door? They surely couldn’t have not been her first love at the time. Therefore, Ma Soi thinks that until she meets her true destined first love, she has her “other first loves” that captured her heart at certain moments in time, and she collects records of those memories in her secret love notebook. Pressed down with a pen are her six first loves that can’t possibly be excluded from her list of meaningful “first loves”.

When Ma Soi tries out the lucky number app, prompted by her best friend Jayoung, she is surprised to get the number “seven” three times in a row. Since that day, a series of events involving the number “seven” happens around her which is hard to dismiss as mere coincidence. Even the tarot cards hint at her seventh love of destiny. So, in an attempt to meet her seventh first love, which will come to her in the seventh month of July, Ma Soi decides to perform a ritual to return her previous six first loves, as the tarot cards told her to. But somehow, Ban Hojun, the “GGF” (the grandson of her grandmother’s friend), who used to be her friend when they were little but has now grown quite distant, gets his hands on Soi‘s secret love notebook, and the first love return project faces setback from the beginning. Will Ma Soi succeed in returning her past first loves and meet the true love of her destiny?
