Kim Deuk Pal is a 47-year-old gangster who is the #2 guy in his gang. He doesn't have an educational background due to his poor parents, but he dreams of attending a university. Deuk Pal has been studying to achieve his dream, but it's not easy. One day, he sees a young man, Song Yi Heon, about to kill himself. At that time, Deuk Pal's spirit possesses the body of the suicidal 19-year-old high school student. Deuk Pal soon learns that Yi Heon is a victim of bullying, which has caused him to want to take his own life. Now, in Yi Heon's body, Deuk Pal takes on the bullies to punish them and becomes friends with classmate Choi Se Kyung. Se Kyung is a model student who appears to be in a perfect situation but suffers from domestic violence at home by his father.

Reviews
It certainly has interesting characters and exciting storyline.
Awesome characters, great story, great balance between drama and action, love the humour in the series.In my opinion it is a must watch.
The principal roles are perfectly cast.
Chang-Young is a brilliant actor, has been wonderful to see its growth and development as an actor. I loved the second chapter, so funny and interesting. Highly Recommended.
As painful as bullying can be, I feel that at the end of the series there will be a good message about tolerance, education and respect. ❤️
I'M ALL FOR IT WHEN THEY FIGHT BACK
going into this I didn't expect much after seeing the movie version because of the love I have for film version, I was a bit worried they'll drag the story and such but the first 2 episodes got me hooked immediatelythe bromance is definitely gonna be bromancing but I wish they kept the BL aspect of it , it would've made the story that much more interesting but oh well , we can't always get what we want
I'm so excited to see where the story goes so I'll update my review when I finished the entire series
UPDATE
I just finished the drama and it was PHENOMENAL, I'm definitely gonna be rewatching this one, it had everything I look for in a action/school drama
