  • Jang Jae-ha as young Yeon Si-eun
• Choi Hyun-wook as Ahn Su-ho: A free spirit who is the strongest fighter in his class. He does not care much for school and only comes in every day because of a promise he made to his grandmother that he’d graduate with perfect attendance.

• Gong Hyun-joo as Si-eun’s mother: A math lecturer that rarely spends time with her son due to her busy schedule. Si-eun often falls asleep to her online lectures.
• Kim Sung-kyun as Gyu-jin: Si-eun’s father and a national judo coach. Like Si-eun’s mother, he barely spends time with his son due to his work and constant business trips and is unaware of what his son is doing.

Storyline:

Si-eun has no interest other than studying. When someone provokes him, he does not shy away from the fight that comes in his way. He has been smartly protecting himself by making quick decisions and made good use of his surroundings. However, he is in danger, and he gets help from Su-ho and Beom-seok. A great friendship slowly emerges among the three of them while they try to survive in a school where bullying always happens. The ways Si-eun, Su-ho, and Beom-seok deal with people and violence show how the feeble teenagers become strong.
