ynopsis

Guo Yaoyao (Felicia Chin) has just graduated from university, and is a modern young lady full of hopes and dreams for her future. Blessed with good looks and intellect, she dreams of becoming a superstar and goes around taking part in idol competitions, holding on to the unrealistic hope of making it big overnight.

Without much luck in her quest, Yaoyao is forced to support herself and nonchalantly picks the profession of a relief teacher. She meets a bunch of self-professed hopeless students and becomes determined in helping them solve their problems. In the course of helping the students, Yaoyao also finds new love and fell for the physical education teacher.

Having struck a firm friendship with the students she helped, Yaoyao begins to find fulfilment in her job. She is now faced with the dilemma of pursuing her dream of becoming a superstar, or continues the profession of a teacher.
