Plot

[edit]

Yang Mi-sook[7] is an unpopular and frumpy high school Russian teacher who has a habit of going red in the face. For ten years she has been harbouring a crush on Seo Jong-cheol, her former teacher and now married colleague, though he is more interested in pretty new teacher Lee Yoo-ri. Mi-sook tries to put a halt to this blossoming romance, forming an unlikely alliance with Jong-cheol's daughter, Jong-hee.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
