Kim Deuk Pal, a 47-year-old gangster and the #2 man in his organization, has an unlikely dream — to attend university. Despite his lack of formal education, his determination never fades. One day, fate intervenes when he encounters Song Yi Heon, a high school student on the brink of suicide. In a mysterious twist, Deuk Pal’s spirit ends up in Yi Heon’s body.

Now living as a teenager again, Deuk Pal discovers the harsh reality of Yi Heon’s life — constant bullying and despair.
