In the slice of life drama, NCT’s Yuta will play the role of Ichikura Hayate, an endearing 20-year-old college student.

According to the manga series and its plot, the three characters will be joined by Kawanishi Takumi, a cheerful student who enjoys his life and is currently enrolled in a professional design school.
