[edit] Plot

Kang Hyun Se, a gangster of the Han Ban Do group inherits a kindergarten after his estranged mother dies from a heart attack. With an intention to sell the Maru Kindergarten he comes to terrorize the staff only to learn that he has to work as kindergarten teacher for a span of 100 days to gain legal ownership.

Meanwhile, a development firm called NK plans to buy off the kindergarten's property and begin construction on a project named Rainbow Park, an amusement park for children. Rainbow Park is a dream project of one manager named Jung Il Do, who mentors a young graduate from America, Manager Choi Shi Wan who incidentally shares a past with Yoo Mi Rae.

The Han Ban Do group, headed by one named So Dong Pa, however, convinces Kang Hyun Se to complete his mother's conditions, and after the 100-day period, turn over the kindergarten to the gang's control. This would force NK into giving So Dong Pa a seat into its executive board.

Kang Hyun Se reluctantly endures teaching at the kindergarten, inevitably falling for Mi Rae and the loveable children.
