It focuses on the special relationship between a high school gangster and the music teacher who helps him pursue his dream of becoming a singer like the late tenor Luciano Pavarotti. Allegedly based on the real-life story of Kim Ho-joong, who first appeared on the variety show 'Star King' in July 2009, where he talked about growing up as a thug and joining gangs, until his grandmother encouraged him to pursue singing; and in 2020 became one of the seven finalists of the trot audition program 'Mr. Trot'. PlotSang-jin, a formerly promising vocalist, now works as a high school music teacher after suffering from a vocal cord tumor. His ordinary life becomes full of drama when Jang-ho, a local teenage gangster, is transferred to Sang-jin's school. Jang-ho is a thorn in Sang-jin's side, but upon hearing Jang-ho sing, he is deeply impressed with his natural talent and decides to commit to his training. As the 2 develop their special bond, an unexpected conflict arises between the two gangs in town which forces Jang-ho into a critical situation. Will Jang-ho overcome the obstacles and fulfill his destiny as a world-class vocalist?
