About Once Upon a Time in High School
"Revenge of the Nerds" meets Bruce Lee in a secondary school.

Fervent Hyun Soo (Kwon Sang Woo) who highly reveres the martial arts legend Bruce Lee is transferred to the notorious Jeong Mun high school where raging power struggles among authoritative teachers and school gangs prevail. There he meets another huge fan of Bruce Lee, Woo-sik (Lee Jung-jin) who is the charismatic leader of the students, and they soon become close friends. Both of them are mesmerized by a senior high school girl named Eun-ju a look alike of Olivia Hussey who was one of the leading foreign actresses in those days. Though Hyun-soo is gentle and kind, she is attracted to Woo-sik since he got her out of trouble before.
In the spring of 1978, Hyun Soo transfer to JungMoon High School in KangNam. Yet, JungMoon High School is notorious for severe corporal punishment by teachers and power struggles between school gangs. One day, he plays basketball with his classmates and brings his team to victory, which allow him to become chumy with Woo Sik, a kingpin of the school.

Before long, they find out that they both are huge fans of Bruce Lee and become best friends. After school, on the bus, Hyun Soo and Woo Sik see a girl. Her name is Eun Ju, a senior at the nearby girls school. Both of them fall in love with her at first sight...
