[edit] Plot summary

Chubby high school student and Madonna-devotee Oh Dong-ku believes himself to be a woman trapped in a man's body. Living with his abusive, alcoholic father, Dong-ku works part-time and saves his money for the sex change surgery he craves. Despite being told that he has the perfect physique for ssireum, Dong-ku has no interest in taking up sports, but when he finds out about an upcoming ssireum tournament with a large cash prize going to the winner, he changes his mind and signs up for the team.
