Synopsis

Kim Deuk Pal, a 47-year-old gangster and the #2 in his gang, dreams of attending university despite never finishing school. One day, he encounters a high school student, Song Yi Heon, who attempts suicide. After a mysterious accident, Deuk Pal’s spirit takes over Yi Heon’s body.

In this new life, Deuk Pal discovers Yi Heon was a victim of relentless bullying. Determined to change things, he uses his street smarts and toughness to fight back against the bullies and protect those who can’t defend themselves.
