Synopsis
Woo-jin (Song Kang-ho), a former volleyball MVP player who is running a children's volleyball class on the brink of closure, is selected as the manager of the girls' volleyball team 'Pink Storm' just before the disbandment. According to the manager's contract, Woo-jin only needs to win one game. Winning just one win would not be a problem for Woo-jin, but Pink Storm has only second-class players. Pink Storm's owner, Jeong-Won (Park Jeong-min), sells promising players to other clubs and only recruits players that other clubs refuse to scout. Besides, if the Pink Storm wins even just once, Jeong-won promises to give 20 million won to one random audience. Thanks to this publicity, Pink Storm's popularity soared and the season finally started, but Pink Storm continues to lose. Woo-jin slowly but surely begins to change the team. The Pink Storm, which consists of abandoned players, is about whether or not it will be able to achieve 'one win'.[2]
