The story begins with twins, one boy one girl named Ko Mi Nyeo and Ko Mi Nam who are both played by Park Shin Hye. They grew up in an orphanage not knowing anything about their parents. As they grew up they went into their own separate paths. Ko Mi Nyeo went on to become a nun and on her way she was going to pick up her ticket for Rome when a strange man comes up to her saying that he's the manager for the popular boy band, "A.N. JELL." He tells Ko Mi Nyeo that her twin brother Ko Mi Nam just joined the band, but was seriously injured and was quickly sent back to America for a quick recovery. So the manager quickly persuades her to impersonate him just for a short time being just until he comes back. He told her that it shouldn't be a major problem for her because they looked exactly alike and no one could tell them apart. 

A.N.JELL band member, Kang Shin Woo (Jung Yong Hwa) was the first of the three to discover that Ko Mi Nyeo was a girl, but he secretly kept it to himself because he knew that if her identity was revealed she would be severely punished. Shin Woo tries to help her out without letting her know that he already knows her secret and not only that he also begins to start falling in love with her. 


Meanwhile A.N.JELL's lead singer and song writer, Hwang Tae Kyung (Jang Geun Suk) finds out her secret in the most oddest way and begins questioning her but she doesn't give away anything only that she'll only be there temporarily. Hwang Tae Kyung has the coldest personality out of the three members of the band and also has a problem with being a neat freak. Like he needs everything to be perfect and organized. To start off on a bad note he tries to kick Ko Mi Nyeo out of the band, but eventually feels sympathetic towards her when he finds out that she hoped to find her mother by appearing on tv with the band. 


Finally just to make everything a whole lot worse her secret is also found out by pop singer Yu Hee Yi (Uee) accidentally. When the reporters and paparazzi falsely reported that Yu Hee Yi and Hwang Tae Kyung were dating she used the information she knew about Ko Mi Nyeo's secret to make Hwang Tae Kyung pretend they were actually dating in front of the press. Hwang Tae Kyung thought Yu Hee Yi was repulsive for doing such cruel deeds to both of them and forcing them together, but that was the only way for her to achieve her plans by telling the media that Ko Mi Nyeo was actually a girl instead of a boy. 



After Yu Hee Yi keeps her promise when Hwang Tae Kyung agrees to actually date her for real just to protect her reputation, but after everything happens she really begins to develop feelings for Hwang Tae Kyung. Will he also reciprocate those feelings for Hee Yi or will he still continue to like Ko Mi Nam? Will her brother come back in time so that she doesn't have endure all this humiliation between her band members and Yu Hee Yi and the media? Will the rest of the media find out her true identity and will she return back to the nunnery? Find out by watching the series and figuring out all the juicy gossip between everyone!
