The protagonist, Jo Kang-ja was once legendary for being the toughest, most feared troublemaker at her Busan high school. Due to her pregnancy, in her late teens, she drops out of school and tries to become a responsible mother to her daughter, Oh Ah-ran. Fast-forward to the present, Kang-ja is now 34 years and Ah-ran is a teenager attending high school. The two have a contentious relationship, with Ah-ran ashamed of Kang-ja's unrefined ajumma manners.
Meanwhile, in her school, Myeong Seong High, when Ah-ran befriends the class outcast, Jin Yi–Kyung, it makes her the target of the school bullies who make her life hell, yet, she's too proud to tell her mother what's happening. When Kang-ja finds out that her daughter is getting bullied, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Unbeknownst to Ah-ran, Kang-ja enrolls in Myeong Seong High School as an undercover student with the false name "Jo Bang-wool" to teach those bullies a lesson. But, ends up unraveling the darker problems within the educational system. Kang-ja makes it her mission to put a stop to the school violence, dig up the flaws of the education system, and school corruption at Myeong Seong High with the help of Ah-ran and naive, idealistic homeroom teacher Park No-ah.
