Ju Ga Ram used to be a rugby player who was the hope for Korean rugby. He had talent and star potential, but a drug scandal ruined everything. All of the sports media covered his drug scandal. He retired from the sport under the stigma of being a drug addict. 3 years later, he returns as a contract coach for the high school rugby team where he once played for. The high school rugby team is the weakest team in its league. As a coach, Ju Ga Ram shows unrivaled charisma and uncompromising leadership ability. He also reunites with his ex-girlfriend, Bae I Ji, who is a shooting coach at the same high school. They dated for 10 years, but after his drug scandal, Ju Ga Ram disappeared. Now, they reunite again while working at the same high school. Meanwhile, the rugby team has 7 players, including its captain, Yun Seong Jun. Seong Jun is in the 3rd year of high school. He has a twin brother who is a member of the junior national soccer team. Seong Jun also played soccer in the past, but he switched to rugby due to his lack of talent. He is twisted by envy and feels inferior toward people with talent. Yet, Seong Jun is a hard-working person who wants to be recognized in sports. (Source: AsianWiki)
