Synopsis

An elementary swimmer who still prefers video games to practicing and more desperate to get an allowance than to place first, Junho always places fourth in swimming competitions. Contrary to bright and cheery Junho, his mom is worried sick that he will be left behind in life if he doesn’t win medals and devotes her life to supporting him swim. After much asking around, she finds a skilled swimming coach. He is no other than Gwang-su, a top swimmer who had disappeared from the competitive swimming world 16 years ago. Junho noticeably improves through private lessons with Gwang-su, but the closer he gets to winning, the more bruises form on his body. As his harsh training towards placing first continues, Junho declares he wants to quit swimming for good.
