Plot

Angel Cup is a story about the formation of a High School Girls' Soccer League in the Republic of Korea. It centers around two female players in particular; So-jin Lee and Shin-bee. For So-jin, she has given up on soccer years ago, after losing to her former rival, Shin-bee. But, when she transfers to Han Shin High School, So-jin challenges the boys' varsity team to soccer matches, when Shin-bee has been appointed manager of the Han Shin High boys' varsity team. However for So-jin, there was no girls' soccer league in Han Shin High. Or what’s worse, So-jin was literally insulted from derogatory remarks by the boys' team. So, So-jin decided to form a girls' varsity team, in order to get back at them for what they said and did. Now, through hard work and strong determination, So-jin Lee and her team, The Han Shin High Blue Angels struggle throughout soccer matches, and their everyday lives.
