Park Yeoul, leader of the struggling idol group D.I.Y., is mu*dered by a sasaeng who tells him not to come between fellow members Jin Yoorim and Eden.

After that, without knowing why, Park Yeoul regresses and keeps dying over and over. Exhausted, he remembers the sasaeng’s words.

Convinced that the regression will end only if Jin Yoorim and Eden become a couple, Park Yeoul repeats the cycle in pursuit of a perfect ending.

By the time regression has become routine, he meets Jin Yoorim and Eden, who now seem to retain memories from before each loop…

And finally, when waking up again became more terrifying than dying, I realized the true purpose of this regression.

2. Improvement of the relationship between main vocalist Jin Yoorim and rapper Eden.

In other words, a romance.
