Together with his hobby-class students — each carrying their own story — he dedicates himself to training with the goal of winning a national championship. When Eun-chae returns to her hometown intending to sell the gym, her ex-boyfriend, Soo-yeol, a second-generation chaebol, makes her an irresistibly dangerous offer...
