Against the orders of his superiors, he investigates the corruption crimes committed by politician Cho Tae-sub, who is a ruthless, corrupt and cold-blooded man beneath his kind-hearted and respectable image. Hee-woo is unfortunately outsmarted by Tae-sub, who not only silenced the witnesses but also sent his trusted assassin "Dr. K" to kill Hee-woo. Shortly after Hee-woo died, his soul meets a female Grim Reaper, who offers Hee-woo a second chance to relive his life, on the condition that he must bring Tae-sub to justice and give him the punishment he deserves in his lifetime; she added that they will eventually meet again in Hee-woo's second life. After accepting the request, Hee-woo finds himself back to fifteen years ago in 2007, when he is a high school graduate and part-timer who is re-taking his college entrance exam for the first time.

At the college, Hee-woo befriends both Lee Min-soo, a law faculty freshman who transferred from the arts, and Kim Hee-ah, a kind-hearted and righteous freshman of the computer engineering faculty.

Meanwhile, Hee-ah told her father she did not wish to inherit his position as CEO of Cheonha Group as she did not want to become rivals with her siblings.
