Joo-ram Joo, the eccentric rugby coach
In his pursuit, Joo-ram Joo’s methods took a turn when he illicitly searched the school’s data room for potential recruits—a move that landed him in a police station after being discovered by Bae Ji. Undeterred, he successfully located Moon Woong, the son of 1990s rugby icon Moon Cheol-yeong, and relentlessly pursued his recruitment.
However, Moon Cheol-yeong, sidelined by a past injury, vehemently opposed his son’s involvement in rugby. Joo-ram Joo, with his characteristic tenacity, persisted in demonstrating the allure of the sport to Moon Woong, eventually swaying his father’s opinion.

The team’s newfound hope was threatened when a change in the special selection process required Moon Woong to excel in rugby, fencing, and archery. Joo-ram Joo responded by advising Moon Woong to infiltrate the archery and fencing clubs to gain a competitive edge, leveraging his connections to identify promising players.
When archery was unexpectedly replaced with shooting on the exam day, Joo-ram Joo offered words of encouragement, stating, “It’s okay to lose. No matter what the result, I will find a way.” With the assistance of Seo Woo-jin, Moon Woong successfully navigated the shooting test, alongside the rugby test, securing his place on the team and safeguarding the rugby program’s future.
