During the Joseon Dynasty when women were not expected to be smart or allowed to be educated, Kim Yoon Hee (Park Min Young) was both. 

After her father passes away and her brother becomes ill, Yoon Hee disguises herself as a boy and takes on her brother’s identity to get odd jobs and help support her struggling family. When she realizes that there is good money to be made, Yoon Hee begins to take the entrance exams in the place of other students who want to get into the prestigious Sungkyunkwan University. 

During one such test, Yoon Hee is discovered to be perpetrating the illegal activity by the morally upright Lee Sun Joon (Park Yoochun), who threatens to turn her in. 

But believing that Yoon Hee is a boy, Sun Joon encourages her to take the test herself (with her brother’s identity). Both pass the exam and get into the university and become roommates. As Yoon Hee is now enjoying the glories of getting a higher education, she befriends the playboy Goo Yong Ha (Song Joong Ki) and the rebellious Moon Jae Shin (Yoo Ah In) and starts to develop feelings for Sun Joon – all the while trying to keep her true gender a secret from her new friends and the other male students.

South Korea is rocked in 1997, when a college student is found apparently stabbed to death in the restroom of a fast food chain in the Itaewon District of the capital, Seoul. The district is popular among Americans and other foreigners due to its proximity to a large United States Army base. The case is particularly hard for both the police and public prosecutors to crack: Before the student was found dead, he was seen having an argument with other young men.

Two Korean-American friends – Robert Pearson (Jang Geun Suk) and Alex “AJ” Jung (Shin Seung Hwan) – were seen going into the restroom shortly before the body was discovered. They had also been handling a knife at the table they had been sitting at. The investigators consider both to be suspects. But the case gets even harder to solve when Robert Pearson and Alex Jung claim that they are innocent – and blame one another for the killing. It falls to the quick-witted Prosecutor Park (Jung Jin Young) to try to determine who is telling the truth. Will he help bring the killer to justice – and help the innocent man walk free?

This movie was based on a true story.
