However, he is determined to make something of himself and become successful. His chance comes when he meets Vera, a fashion mogul, during one of his jobs and learns about the world of high-end fashion.
With Vera's encouragement, Ma-te sets out on a journey to become a "pretty man," a sort of male model who uses his looks to increase popularity and sells products. He spends his time improving his physique and posing for pictures, hoping to catch the attention of fashion brands. Despite his good looks and charm, Ma-te faces rejection at every turn.
