The video clip begins with a scene where Hye-Jin (Jung Ryeo-Won) goes to a school and asks that she wants to retake the examination. This shows how she never compromises with work. However, when she sees her former student, Joon-Ho, standing, her emotions start to overflow. Meanwhile, Lee Joon-Ho joined the teaching academy and became a star.
