Seyoon and Dean, Unscripted

'A light, swoony, escapist YA romcom, ideal for Jenny Han fans' - Guardian Seyoon Shin knows she's not everyone's favourite teammate - but she does know she's a winner, despite what her deadbeat dad told her on his way out the door. So when Forest Feud - a decades-old wilderness TV game show with a cult following - announces a reboot, she jumps at the chance to win the million-dollar prize. On the way to the campgrounds, she meets Dean Parker, whose hunger to prove himself rivals her own. When the fierce competition forces the two into an alliance, the producers are quick to frame them as a couple. The romantic angle makes them fast favourites on the show, but their chemistry is only for the cameras . . . right? As the lines blur between friendship and romance, real life and reality TV, neither Seyoon nor Dean can ignore that the finale is fast approaching - and that only one of them can win.
