Do Hyeon majored in Social Physical Education in college and dreams of becoming an action star, but he only lands minor roles. After his long-time girlfriend breaks up with him, nothing seems to go his way. Then, an unexpected opportunity appears: a position teaching an after-school class. Due to a mix-up by a teacher, he ends up taking the job, which could be both a turning point and a challenge. With advice from his father and support from his brother, he decides to give it a try. At first, it seems manageable—only six students are enrolled. But he quickly realizes he was wrong. These six students are the ones the school has nearly given up on. They ignore Do Hyeon completely, leaving him unsure of what to do. Still, Do Hyeon has his own unique skill set; he knows how to take a hit, dodge punches, and endure pain better than anyone. Using what he knows best, he begins to find his own way to reach the students. What kind of change can he bring to their lives and his own?

The story is about unemployed young man Do Hyeon (played by Im Ji Kyu) who unexpectedly becomes a taekwondo teacher at the school. I like the stories written by Yoo Bo Ra (“Just Between Lovers”, “Youth”, “Yeonu’s Summer”), they show complicated emotional life of her characters, and at the same time they give us a hope that comes from within a human being, from his power of life and rationality. This is the same here.

The narration has a subtle humor, particularly in Do Hyeon’s philosophy of avoiding beating and hitting. He isn’t tall and that’s why there is no chance for him to win in taekwondo. Also the way of filming shows the funny side of the story. The director doesn’t follow the stereotypes so we are not boring of cliché.

I like the acting, especially short scenes with Choi Min Soo and the kid, the actor has really amazing skills to seduce the audience. Also Im Ji Kyu very well portrayed funny, amusing main lead.
It’s optimistic story with positive message build with small pieces of life. I highly recommend.
