A light romantic comedy-drama about a self-conscious schoolteacher navigating professional humiliation, social awkwardness, and unrequited love with humor and vulnerability.

After being demoted from teaching Russian to middle-school English students, Me-sook is literally red-faced with shame, because on top of all her other issues — unrequited love, unpopularity — Me-sook has a blushing problem.
