It is spring of the year 1999. At a high school in Gyeongju (an ancient capital located in the southern region of Korea), Dan-hee (Kim Hee-Seon) is famous among the guys as an eccentric girl who plays baseball, and Ha-jin (Lee Dong-Geon) is renowned as the handsome class president who has overcome his past as an orphan.

On the other hand, Yoo-gang (Yun Se-Ah) is a loner who is ostracized from her peers because of her melancholy character, but her eyes are always on Ha-jin. Years later, in the spring of 2006, Ha-jin comes to Jae-myung’s (Lee Jin-Wook) rescue when he is in need of help, and the two become best friends. Jae-myung is the son of the President of Mirae Chemicals, and his recommendation lands Ha-jin a job.

The President orders Jae-myung to coach the company’s softball team, in hope that it will discipline him.

At first, Jae-myung scoffs at the softball team, having been a baseball player all his life, but begins to find motivation while working with the team through Dan-hee’s passion and diligence. He sets new goals to transform his team into a champion team and to make Dan-hee into the best pitcher in the game. During this process, he falls in love with her. Dan-hee is also attracted to Jae-myung, but finds it difficult to open up to him after the scar left in her heart by her first love. Jae-myung becomes curious about this man who has hurt Dan-hee so deeply…
