Synopsis
29 year-old Me-sook is the least popular teacher at school. She used to be a Russian language teacher at a high school, but was relegated to a middle school to teach English which she can’t even understand. And she has a blushing problem so she is often afraid to even lift her face up. But to top it off, she is in love with another married teacher, Seo, and believes that he feels the same but is just too shy to show his feelings. So when she finds out that he’s having an affair with an attractive Russian teacher who took her place in high school, Me-sook decides to take action.
