Dedicated “To nerds and anyone else just trying to be themselves, but first, nerds”, David Yoons romcom features Korean-American teen Sunny Dae who is as dorky of a kid as you could imagine. He and his friends play Dungeons and Dragons, and make DIY videos of live action role playing. He is so unlike his older, wannabe rockstar brother Gary, who is off in L.A. trying to make it in the music scene.
Then along comes a new girl Cirrus. Sunny is smitten and when she sees a photo of Gary’s room, she thinks that it is Sunny who is in the rock band, not his older brother. This sets off a series of lies that Sunny tells to keep her believing that he is actually a rocker. His friends join in and pretty soon, Sunny is feeling the vibe. He’s cool at school, where in the past he’s faced ridicule for being a nerd, and also prejudice for being Korean-American.
But how long will Sunny be able to pull off this deception? What happens when he actually has to play a gig?
Super Fake Love Song is a fun romcom and is not serious like Yoon’s novel Frankly in Love.
