Korean characters. This interesting title is in itself a synopsis of the whole movie. A high school girl works as a
prostitute in Daehakro, and is murdered by her former homeroom teacher (in charge of biology) where she is
brutally chopped to death. Her teacher put his fee for enjoying her body ‘on his tab’ and decided to call on
assassins to eliminate her instead of paying her. But the murdered high school girl is resurrected into a terrible
killing machine and gets committed into the SM-6 war zone. One day, the memories of her past life come
flooding back to her after she takes a hard blow. So she goes back to the homeroom teacher and the assassins
who chopped her to death for a grueling revenge.
