Mark Tuan: Comes from a middle-class family. He is awarded a scholarship to one of Korea's most prestigious university after graduating from high school. He can't say no since he feels that it's the least thing he can do to repay his parents for all that they have given up for his education. He leaves his family and friends behind and travels to Korea seeking to finish school without getting into too much trouble...he liked it when no one noticed him. It was easier to go around being invisible...no one bothered him. He liked silence, he was silent himself, a man of few words. He wanted to maintain things that way...however things don't go as planned. He meets new people and his life becomes more noisy. Is this a good thing though? 

Jackson Wang: Is one of the most popular students at his university (which he attends not because of his good grades but because of his fencing skills and money). Having been born to wealthy parents Jackson is used to having everything he wants and when he wants it. There is no girl that has ever said no to him which earned him the nickname of "king wang" which he very much loved. He is arrogant and cocky, why wouldn't he? Everyone admired him...well except for the new student who doesn't seem at all impressed. 

What will happen when there is a bet and this bet involves both Jackson and Mark? New situations and emotions will flourish. People will chage...but is their change for the good? Can love survive when someone is "Betting for Love".
