The series is drawn in the Korean [[Manhwa]] style, done without dialogue to K-Pop music. It's about Doki. a girl rabbit who meets up with Nabi, a boy cat, and falls in love with him, much to his initial dismay.
'''The first episode''', "[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130927235351/http://sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step1.html There she is!!]" introduces them, and she commences to chase him all over the city with hearts trailing after her all the while. The cat tries simply avoiding her; then, when that doesn't work, he tries to convince her they're not suited to each other due to prevailing prejudices about [[Interspecies Romance]]. She is unconvinced. He even tries to fix her up with other rabbits, which only serves to tick her off. Finally, he gives in, then realizes he's starting to return her affections. Their relationship begins.
'''The second episode''', "[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131031180813/http://sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step2_eng.html Cake Dance]" has the cat doing the nice thing and bringing the bunny girl a birthday cake. She waits patiently for him at the party and eats the cake a relative baked her, unaware of the tribulations he's going through trying to get her cake delivered safely, including being attacked by the Jjintta set (a gang of spiky bunnies), whose leader perceives him as oppressing the helpless bunny girl, due to something one of his lieutenants said. The cartoon ends with a bunny girl in a situation that mirrors the beginning of the episode; the cat, touched, picks her up and rides her on his shoulders. A [[Shout-Out]] to his earlier insistence that [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|they're not a couple]] comes in the only English line in the episode.
'''The third episode''', "[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131031175627/http://sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step3.html Doki & Nabi]" finally tells the viewer their names. Doki is the bunny. Nabi is the cat. Doki continues with her over the top professions of love, and Nabi gives in a little more to his feelings. Doki calls a press conference to announce their first date. But during the proper date Nabi inadvertently insults Doki with his behavior. He realizes what he's done, though, and asks her out again. She's delighted, and they plan happily for another date. But someone really doesn't like the idea of their romance...
'''The fourth episode''', "[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131031180821/http://sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step4.html Paradise]", has Doki and Nabi officially romantically involved. But the anti-cat and bunny romance prejudice is a major obstacle, and things stop being cute and funny and quickly take a turn for the dark. They are kicked out of cafes because of their [[Interspecies Romance]]. They are accosted and attacked in the street. Doki is injured in such an attack, which Nabi takes very hard. Nabi doesn't resist the leader of the Jjintta set when he attacks due to having spied on Doki. Nabi still ends up in jail, separated from his phone. This leads to an unfortunate misunderstanding, when Doki calls him and gets no answer, as Nabi has begun distancing himself from Doki for what he believes is her own protection.
'''The fifth and final episode''', "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130927235046/http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step5.html Imagine]", begins with Doki leaving to go to Paradise on her own, having only texted Nabi to tell him goodbye. He tries to get her on the phone, but she already threw hers away. Thus begins his race to catch her before she walks out of his life forever.
The sheer emotional impact and cuteness of its art, plot, and message can not be adequately explained with words. Having taken five years to complete, ''There she is!!'' is still considered one of the best flash series on the internet and is a must-see.
