Yeon Cheonguk (soo), who has earned a reputation as Korea's greatest musical actor with his explosive vocal ability, acting skills, and handsome appearance. The future he dreamed of, a successful life. Everything is perfect.
Yeon Cheonguk has a hobby of stopping by used bookstores to read manga while smelling the scent of old paper. One day, he receives an old electronic dictionary from the bookstore keeper. While trying to figure out the password to the electronic dictionary, Yeon Cheonguk discovers that the dictionary's owner is a complete stranger and deceased person named 'Hwang Jegu (gong)' and throws it in the trash. The next day, during a performance of the famous number from the musical <Ghost> at a musical gala concert, Yeon Cheonguk experiences a strange déjà vu. With an eerie premonition, Yeon Cheonguk retrieves the electronic dictionary he had thrown away. The moment he unlocks the password to the electronic dictionary he struggled to find, the world twists and the past comes back to life!
2002, the world was hot with World Cup cheers, but their summer was hot for a different reason. Yeon Cheonguk, a high school sophomore dreaming of becoming a singer even as his family fortunes decline in the aftermath of the IMF crisis. Hwang Jegu, a problem child and natural-born fighter who has already taken over both a district of high schools and the meat distribution network. They happen to become acquainted, and their relationship develops into a precarious yet absurd form....

"Did you get rid of your virginity?"
At the out-of-the-blue question, Yeon Cheonguk looked at him pathetically before nodding his head. Hwang Jegu's eyes curved into long crescents. It was a laugh of ridicule.
"Well, I guess a horny bastard like you was busy dating even when your family was falling apart and punks like those were coming to your part-time job. With that rotten mentality."
"......"
He'd let his guard down for a moment. Aside from smashing up the store fixtures, he'd briefly mistaken this bastard for a good person just because he'd chased away those thugs so satisfyingly! Yeon Cheonguk responded with renewed hatred.
"If you were going to ignore my calls, why did you come?"
"To watch more. Your disgusting, debauched mentality."
