Plot
editCarol, is a 17-year-old teenager, daughter of a Brazilian dancer and a South Korean, who lives a challenging journey of overcoming, acceptance and self-knowledge after the death of her mother and the abandonment of her father, who decides to return to South Korea. In a conflicting relationship with her ancestry, she denies knowing any subject that refers to South Korean culture, but her life changes after a unique discovery: her wardrobe is actually a magical portal that connects her room to the dormitory of the world's most popular and successful K-pop boy group, ACT (Korean: 에스티; RR: Eseuti). Through adventures, she faces challenges in love, friendships and her roots.[4]
