Through its main character, former gangster and currently novice
kindergarten teacher Kang Hyun-se, this drama criticizes the negative
aspects of early child education, which prioritizes knowledge over character,
and shows what children really need. It opens the possibility of alternative
education by portraying how Hyun-se transforms from a hopeless gangster
into a warm-hearted kindergarten teacher played by Kim Jae-won. The role
of his colleague, Yoo Mi-rae, who keeps making mistakes, is played by Han
Ji-min. Mi-rae’s ex-boyfriend, the ambitious Shi-wan, attempts to take over
the kindergarten and hampers the two people from loving each other. Actress
Lee Mi-sook portrays Ko Ah-ra, the director of the kindergarten who has her
own philosophy about education and does her best to protect the
kindergarten. She even stands up against powerful people who want to
destroy the kindergarten to gain profits.
