This was just okay. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I was expecting something more. The story was passable, the characters were just okay, but I will admit that the art style was great. Sungmin Kim is an ordinary looking guy, who went to an all-boys middle school and high school, went to an engineering school that was basically the same, and spent two years in the army - and finally...he doesn't know how to get a girl to date him. He so wants a girl in his life (same age or older), and is getting tired of only watching porn - heck, even ... his only friend, Chulho Kim, even got himself a hot girlfriend, Sujin; though it's mostly because he changed himself physically and became more attractive in Sujin's eyes. Poor Sungmin often worries that if he does ever meet a Mary Sue, she'll be unfaithful and constantly cheat on him with a much more attractive alpha male. After finally getting a well paying job, and crossing paths with an extremely attractive secretary (Eunae Park), Sungmin decides to try and change himself physically by applying for a membership at HM-GYM. It is there that he meets the sexy instructor, Juha, who "persuades" him into personally training sessions for the first three months - but despite that, Juha is a professional and does help Sungmin getting in better shape and sticking too his strict diet. Sungmin suddenly gets a text from the beautiful Dahye, who was one of the few girls and friends he met in college - despite having a crush on her, she dating a tall, muscular thug, Taemin. After meeting up with Dahye, she is able to convince Sungmin to manage his assets. However, when Sungmin considers terminating their agreement, Dahye's still thug of a boyfriend, Taemin, demands her to seduce Sungmin to keep the deal. And while Dahye is disgusted at first, she honestly enjoyed having sex with Sungmin so much more than she thought she would; mostly because of all the techniques Sungmin learned from watching porn, and having a cock that's actually bigger than Taemin's. Despite this, after being threatened and insulted by Dahye, Sungmin decides to amp-up his training and diet. And while Juha originally wanted to simply used Sungmin by turning him into a real stud, getting more of his money, and practically became a social media celebrity...she actually starts to be become impressed by his dedication and slowly finds herself becoming more and more attracted to him. When Dahye once again tries to manipulate Sungmin into making another deposit, she goes as far as to have sex with him again...but only after she agrees to stay with him for the entire night. But despite having passionate sex twice, Dahye once again blows Sungmin off when he suggest that she change her life for the better.

When Juha invites Sungmin to dinner for a cheat day, they talk and get to know each other a little better - though when Sungmin reveals that he's going to continue with their program, Juha is pretty disappointed, as she only invited him for the sole purpose of trying to convince him to sign up for more sessions. Dahye, who just can't get the incredible pleasure she received from Sungmin, she returns to him just for that...even spending the night over, after two rounds of intense passion. When Sungmin keeps Eunae company in a dark elevator, she desires to repay him with a coffee date - and so Juha helps Sungmin by buying new clothes, and gives him a haircut, and even cooks him a small meal - further developing their chemistry. And as time goes by, Juha finds herself more and more attracted to Sungmin...to the point where she masturbates and fantasizes about him (even screaming his name). Dahye gets another chance at riding Sungmin's bones, and sleeping over at his place again. And it happens once again, not long after - but when Sungmin expresses wanting a proper relationship, Dahye completely shuts him down and walks out on him. Deeply hurt but getting nowhere with women, Sungmin goes further by taking some time off and preparing for a procedure. The procedure is successful, and more women truly do notice him. Sungmin once again gets together with Dahye, and they have amazing sex many times in a motel - Dahye is even willing to go on a date with him, but Sungmin isn't interested as long as she's with Taemin. When returning to the gym, even Juha is impressed with the results, but makes Sungmin work for all the days he missed; though does treat him for a couple drinks in the end. Sungmin is even invited to dinner by Eunae herself. Although after she has too much to drink, Sungmin is forced to take her to a motel...where she allows him to do anything he wants - and the two have incredible passionate sex like Eunae has never felt before. However, Eunae seems to be avoiding Sungmin, and when he confronts her about it, she admits that she can't be in a relationship with him; though doesn't give an actual reason. But she agrees to at least have one last incredibly passionate night with him.

Sungmin soon learns that Eunae is actually engaged to be married to the elderly CEO; making everyone think it's for the money. Sungmin invites Juha out to eat, to vent out everything that's happened to him. And when she ends up getting drunk, he ends up taking her back to her place - where she instinctively strips and showers, and sobers up. After Sungmin explains the misunderstanding...the two finally give into their built up sexual tension, and it turns out to be Juha's first time (though she's more than happy to give her virginity to Sungmin). The two have such amazing chemistry that they "explore" each others' bodies for the entire night. Juha even agrees to be Sungmin's girlfriend. Sungmin goes as far as to wish Eunae good luck on her future marriage, and permanently ends things with Dahye; as she was too late (even though she finally ended things with Taemin). Sungmin and Juha are happy together and make passionate love every day...including on days that they workout together. Three months later, Juha reveals that she is pregnant, and Sungmin decides for them to get married...which they happily do. The title seems a little misleading, because I thought it was going to be about an ordinary guy becoming a jerk in order to get more women. But it's really about a guy who keeps changing himself for a girl who doesn't even love him. I think it would have been better if Sungmin first tried to change himself by working out, and by trying to act differently than he normally would - slowly but surely gaining the attention of more girls. But over time, he notices that while he gets plenty of sexy women to sleep with him...he isn't happy with the man people expect him to be. He broke things off with Dahye because she didn't deserve him, he ended things with Eunae because he wasn't some booty call, and as for Juha...maybe he felt that she only saw him as a client whom she could squeeze money out of - or maybe they stay together because they had the most chemistry. Sungmin could still become an alpha, but a different kind of alpha; an alpha who stands up for himself, but is still kind and considerate. If Sungmin was able to keep all three women (after they improved themselves), now that would make him a real alpha.
