Yoon Chan-young, Bong Jae-hyun, Lee Seo-jin Deuk-pal is the number two in a criminal organisation, who would like to use more than his fists to solve his problems now that he is 47. Deuk-pal is committed to his studies and has the utmost respect for his far younger tutor, but his test scores remain stubbornly low. While walking down the street one evening, he witnesses a teenage boy get up onto a bridge and prepare to jump.
He implores him not to, but the youth jumps anyway and falls straight into Deuk-pal’s arms as he rushes towards him. Deuk-pal soon sits up in a daze, only to be run over by a car. Deuk-pal’s loyal underlings attempt to barge into Yi-heon’s room to demand an apology from the boy who survived after their boss saved him.
Yi-heon tries to explain who he is, but all they see is a very rude teenager behaving rather strangely. Naturally, it takes some time for Deuk-pal (as Yi-heon) to acclimatise to his new circumstances. But at least he got his wish: he is going to high school.

One of the progenitors of this genre is , a 2001 film about a promising young gangster who goes incognito to high school to help him acquire the business acumen his bosses think will serve him well. The smash hit spawned two sequels.
More similar is the surprise 2019 hit , another story that revolves around a gangster and a high-school student who mag.
