Each season—spring, summer, fall, and winter—is presented as an individual chapter or "episode" in an omnibus format, featuring a different main character for each season. While it includes elements of romance, the story goes beyond to intricately explore the complexities and darker facets of human relationships. Through their struggles and emotional wounds, the characters embark on a journey of growth, portraying the challenges and triumphs of maturing into true adulthood with profound depth and sensitivity.

"The timeline between episodes flows consistently across each season, with characters overlapping and shared throughout. For example, in the spring episode Bomi's Flower, the main characters from the summer, fall, and winter episodes—Ha-min, Gaeul, and Dong-chae—make early appearances. Similarly, Bomi and her group, the main characters of the spring episode, continue to appear in subsequent seasons. This interconnected structure allows each season's story to be enjoyed independently while offering a richer understanding of the overarching narrative and character relationships.
The drama, a Wave original, is adapted from the webtoon and primarily focuses on the second part, Ha-min's Flower, while incorporating some elements from the first part, Bomi's Flower.
The plot alternates between past and present, centering on the story of Lee Jae-min's brothers. In adapting the original work, Han So-mang’s character was reinterpreted to be more active and was given the role of a student teacher. With high school as the main setting, even minor characters were cast in dedicated roles to suit the live-action format. Key lines and clues from the original are highlighted in distinct scenes, ensuring they are effectively delivered to viewers."
