Among those students is Baek Seung Yoo (Lee Do Hyun), an extremely introverted and seemingly troubled student who consistently ranks at the bottom of his class. Never speaking to anyone, Seung Yoo spends much of his time alone, choosing to take pictures with his camera, rather than interacting with anyone around him. Seeing Seung Yoo’s potential in math, Yoon Soo is determined to help the struggling youth. With time and attention, Seung Yoo’s grades begin to improve but his success in math brings with it an entirely unexpected set of problems. With rumors of a teacher-student scandal now floating around school, it doesn’t take long for Yoon Soo’s world to come crashing down around her.

Reunited four years later, Yoon Soo and Seung Yoo are determined to expose the corruption at Ahseong High School and regain Yoon Soon’s reputation as an excellent teacher.
