In series 1, Go Hye Mi (Bae Suzy) is a classical music major who must give up her passion by enrolling at Kirin Art High School to pay off her father's debt. She must, however, recruit two additional pupils to attend the school to enroll conditionally. The high school falls bankrupt in the second season, and Oz Entertainment takes over the school. The corporation relocates its juvenile idols-in-training to comply with a new rule requiring minor performers to get 20 hours of schooling each week.

In series 2, Shin Hae Sung (Kang So Ra) wants to be a musician, but she only knows how to read music and not how to play it.
