Lee Ma Ha is a member of the newly formed K-pop girl group Tea Party, created by Ji Hak, the former manager of the well-known boy band Shax. Ji Hak left Shax after one of the members, Eun Jo, disappeared during a concert. Before joining Tea Party, Ma Ha was part of the group Omega III, which disbanded on its debut day due to a tragic incident involving a former trainee at their company. Ma Ha gained public recognition by impersonating the popular solo singer La Li Ma. As she embarks on this new journey with Tea Party, Ma Ha's path frequently crosses with Kwon Ryok, the central figure of Shax still struggling with Eun Jo's disappearance years later. Despite Ryok's initial disapproval of Ma Ha's imitation of Li Ma, the two develop a mutual interest and begin a clandestine relationship that could jeopardize their careers. Meanwhile, Ma Ha's close friend Lee Yu Jin, a member of the up-and-coming boy group Sparkling, has harbored feelings for her since their trainee days. Upon noticing Ma Ha's connection with Ryok, Yu Jin is determined to shield her from Ryok and propel Sparkling to surpass Shax as the industry's top boy band.
