Plot

Lee Jae-in (Ha Seok-jin) is the ruthless heir of a wealthy family who has to get married in order to inherit his grandfather's fortune. Lee Jae-in engages in a six-month contract for a pretend relationship with Kim Da-hyun (Jeon So-min) an elementary school teacher chosen for him by his grandfather, the head of the family. The teacher doesn't realize, and the heir doesn't know, that the grandfather was the person the teacher had rescued when he collapsed outside her school. So the pair get off to a rough start when the heir insists on dating and the teacher thinks he is a marriage scammer. It takes a while but 'One Percent of Anything' is a romance drama about what happens when the pair discover their pretend relationship has gotten too real.

Notes

  1. Dramax (Korean: 드라맥스) is a cable TV channel owned by IHQ Inc., which also co-produced this drama series.
gollark: Never mind, they both do but inconsistently, apparently.
gollark: I wonder how they implemented that.
gollark: Weirdly enough, my last phone would detect my fingers fine with some stuff between them and the screen, but my current one doesn't.
gollark: They do have the inconvenient feature of mostly stopping touchscreens from working.
gollark: Isn't that extremely low?
