A gangster’s spirit enters a rich but lonely high schooler bullied at school in this new Wavve series.
So far, the modest narrative is greatly amplified by the stunning portrayal of Yoon Chan Young.

High School Return of a Gangster Opening Week Story and Musings
Dreaming of entering the university, gangster Kim Deuk-pal (Lee Seo Jin) works hard to achieve his goal. In a twist of fate, he encounters highschooler Song Yi-heon (Yoon Chan Young) who jumped from a bridge to end his life. Using his body to cushion his fall, unfortunately, Deuk-pal was also hit by a raging car.
Mysteriously, Deuk-pal’s spirit transfers to Yi-heon’s body. From Yi-heon’s journal, Deuk-pal discovers the saddening life of the highschooler at home and at school.
While figuring out his situation, he decides to change Yi-heon’s situation armed with his gangster skills. To some extent, he unknowingly will pursue his dream. First, he deals with school bully Jae-min who constantly humiliates Yi-heon. He also forms a connection with Choi Se-kyung (Bong Jae Hyun) who helps him with his studies.
Then, he also makes a stand against his father’s annoying secretary while taking care of Yi-heon’s alcoholic mom. Next, he prepares for his college course. However, he is not aware of what Yi-heon likes to study.
We’ve seen a few transmigration dramas but this new series has quite an appeal with how the “coincidence” that bound Yi-heon and Deuk-pal solves the problems they face in their respective lives.
Eventually, the story will explain what happened to Yi-heon’s soul. But its trajectory is what the opening week presented so far: the fulfillment of Deuk-pal’s dream and Yi-heon’s redemption thanks to Deuk-pal’s spirit.
