Summary: Sangbum, a misogynistic and germophobic plastic surgeon, is shocked to suddenly discover that the sperm he donated when he was a medical student has produced a 13-year-old daughter named Myunghae!
Myunghae's foster parents were killed in an accident, so she is unceremoniously dropped into her biological father's life. Sangbum is unprepared for the responsibility of fatherhood, but he quickly comes to love the daughter who looks so much like him.
In the midst of her happy new life with Sangbum, however, Myunghae is shocked to find out that her boyfriend Hyunjoon is going out with her best friend Mijoo. The truth is that Hyunjoon and Mijoo just wanted to teach Myunghae a lesson, but unexpected feelings are growing between them. Meanwhile, a popular student named Donghui is attracted to Myunghae.
Review: I liked "Click" so much I thought I would try another from the same mangaka. It's a cute feel good story about a thirty somethong old plastic surgeon who is both a germaphobe and a extremely good looking finding himself saddled w/ a 13 year old daughter suddenly. There's some romance, but its never lovey dovey. The teenagers love story is a lot more innocent than I'm used to. 17 year old model boy who dates his girlfriend for a year and never kisses much less holds her hands. Not to mention, a girl having multiple boyfriends at one time would be considered a skank this day and age, but they're just relationships in name only.
Overall, it's cute w/o going into the forbidden incestous love of father and daughter. They pretty much treat each other as BFF, but it's amusing that the daughter forever compares any guy to her newly found father's looks...even her model boyfriend is butt ugly in comparison.
