One wilderness game show. Two teens with a plan to win. Three simple rules:

Ignore any not-so-fake feelings.
Don’t go off script.
Out Now!
For fans of Jenny Han and Better Than the Movies, this infuriatingly adorable enemies-to-lovers coffee shop romance follows two teens who begrudgingly fake a relationship online to save their failing Korean cafe.
