Growing up, Lily Wang just wanted to be popular. We get to see one interaction where she tries to join the popular kids but is pushed back to her circle of friends, the ones who call themselves the Nerd Herd. There is some hurt from her friends but they smooth it over quickly. Except for Tobin Bui, Lily's high school arch nemesis. But now he's a popular YouTube star and Lily could use his... not help per say but his name. Her own beauty channel has maxed out on viewers and she's not willing to get into a feud or start trashing products in order to build more. So a collaboration seems like it could be a good idea. Even with someone who mostly does pranks.
The two work together and manage to produce several successful videos even though their working styles are completely different. And, of course, this is a romance so working together might just prove that these two opposites will attract.
