Now a teacher herself, Ha Neul hopes to make as much of a difference in the lives of her students as her teacher once did for her. But the dream she has is difficult to achieve, as the life of a teacher is anything but easy. Still, Ha Neul refuses to give up on her dreams.

Accepting a short-term teaching position at a private school, Ha Neul is determined to do her best to help her students as they face the various trials that exist in the highly competitive private school setting.
