Hey, Gender Bender Fans! Have you seen Ma Boy yet? It’s a reverse from
the usual formula of a girl-pretending-to-be-a-guy that we normally see in dramas. Instead, here we have a guy in disguise as a girl! Say what!!?
This cute, throwback drama from 2012, is a bite sized, 3 episode drama.

Set in an intense Arts High School, our female lead Gue Rim( played by Kim So Hyun) has just transferred in to pursue her dream of singing.

Shortly after arriving, she finds out that she’s roommates with the hottest girl in school, Irene.

...Low and behold, the silent, never-speaking-a-word, Irene has a secret... She is actually a he! Irene is played by Sun Woong - who is the fabulously, flower-boy Hyun Woo when not in disguise.

(Great job hair and makeup! He/She does pull off the look.)

His cover as Irene is pretty flawless, except for his voice, which is why it's top priority for him not to speak too loudly while in school. Even the most handsome boy in class,Tae Joon (played by Min Hoo), has a thing for Irene... and he's not shy about it!

The secret cover as Irene is strictly business as Irene is a popular CF Star, with a growing fan base! Gue Rim doesn’t exactly understand her roommate’s peculiar ways but tries to make the most of their situation.

Though when she does stumble onto his secret, she decides to help him rather than out him. However, things are about to change...
