School equals unhappiness.The students have long been the icons of loneliness, suicide, and bullying.The teachers are incompetent employees who go to school to give detention. The parents are dictators who will do anything for their child to advance in society. And school is a monster. But is school really a monster? I mean, have we ever really taken a good, proper look at school? Whenever a school is rocked by bullying or death, people blame the academic policies or SATs. They sigh and aimlessly point a finger at our moral-lacking, dog eat dog world. Perhaps we actually know nothing about school. If so, then this is the moment we all must peer into the essence of school. If we hold our breaths and look inside, the school will listen. To the stories the children hide and the teachers are unaware of, and to the deep wounds of school, which has become a monster. We all must face the despair school emanates in order to discover that faint glimmer of hope. That hope is the first step in coming face to face with the non-monstrous future of school.

 The Super Busan Team

A group of high schoolers goes on a musical adventure as they edge toward the end of their schooldays – forming a band.

But not long after they have begun, a new journey gets underway: romance. And it is a force that threatens to sow the seeds of disharmony in the band.

The band’s lead singer is Yoo Ha Young (Mi Yeon), whose YouTube cover version of a popular song became a viral online hit.

However, she wants to become a singer in her own right – someone who is known for performing original material, rather than covers.

But it looks like the group’s guitarist, Yoo Ha Young’s close friend Lee Ji Hoon (Hwi Young), is developing feelings for her – as is Gong Chan Young (Kim Min Chul), an older keyboard player who also joins the band.

Meanwhile, there are also sparks flying between bassist and Yoo Ha Young’s best friend Lim Seo Eun (Choi Ji Su) and the band’s eclectic drummer and academic no-hoper Shim Tae Young (Marco).
