## Synopsis

MC, who is the daughter of an ex-top model, hopes to realize her dreams without her mother's help. She laments that since she was a child, her life has been full of misery and misfortune, and she gets drunk to forget the series of mishaps that have occurred in her life. The goblins, with nowhere to live, offer their help by preventing more misfortune in MC's life in exchange for her allowing them to stay at her house. MC accepts this and allows the three guys to live with her in her mother's house.

### Prologue

She does not believe in such things and perceives these things as superstitions. Until she is interviewed at her modelling job and introduces herself as a 21-year-old young female model. She was asked by one of the interviewees if the rumor of her living with four handsome men was true. She confirmed this as true, then was interrupted by Hansol, Biho, Taehee, and Yooha's banter during the interview. She then comments that her life is about to get exciting upon meeting these four guys.

## Controversy

### Birthday Evermores

Players were shocked as the sudden change of 2022 Birthday Evermores acquisition method were changed from spending hearts to gems. This outrage caused players to express their outcry on Naver leaving the forum to be minimally moderated. On January 21, 2022, a notice was posted to explain their shortcomings.

### Miracle Summon

On December 2021, Miracle Summons were introduced. In this format, you can use 1,800 gems to do a 10 pull summon and 200 gems for a single summon. Alternatively, Christmas Storybooks are exlusively used in this event. However the summons required to obtain the R cards were ridiculous causing players on Naver to demand the decrease Christmas Storybooks requirements. The developers apologized and compensated the playerbase with Christmas Storybooks and decreased the summon requirements.

### Regarding Yooha's content

On mid September 2021, users on Naver were protesting regarding Yooha's content being worse. Players were expressing their disappointment at the rewards they got from evolving Yooha's Evermore. They believed that this reward was not as good as the other characters' had. A notice was released to address this concern from the Korean playerbase. However, this was posted in such a way that it may have lead to misunderstandings. The developers have expressed their apology and have stated that they don't intend to alienate Yooha and they won't be biased towards a certain character. In the November 2021 update, the stories and lines for the main characters were revised and modified as fit for the equal portion of main characters.

### If+ Evermore Summon

Previous if summons had a free chance of summoning every 48 hours. However, this was removed on the June 22, 2021 update with Love Odyssey's release. The lack of explanation has left the community confused and upset with this update. An official notice was released a couple of days after the update to explain the new content. This was due to the production content made with great effort to add premium value from the production stage. Furthermore, the probability of obtaining a rate-up evermore was increased to compensate for that value, thus removing free summoning chances. In addition to that, another 2 ceilings were added from 240 to 480, totaling 4 ceilings.

### Kim Taehee Challenge

Prior to Global release, Korean players used to mock the game by calling it Kim Taehee Challenge. The reason was that an interview with Wannabe Challenge's lead writer, conducted in Korean, said that her favorite character is Kim Taehee, and the main character is Kim Taehee. Many Korean players were upset with this. Prior to the game's initial release, the game was advertised with 4 romanceable leads, but the storytelling was made to believe the main character's love interest was only Kim Taehee, thus resulting in the protest on official Naver demanding the storytelling be changed. In May 2020, a notice was released to address this concern, and the developers promised to give an equal portion to the 4 love interests.
