The two hour movie revolves around the life of Hongdae ( Park Seo Joon ) a football player who receives disciplinary provision and turned into a coach renamed as Horak.
On the first clips of the film, we can see a thrilling football play of Hongdae and his team -- Park Seong Chan ( Kang Ha Neul, a bit pity that his appearance was short but still happy to see him, fan girl me is shaking :D ) and Hongdae fight to have the incoming ball. Seong Chan, portrayed as the genius football player, gets the ball and the attention in court, leaving Hongdae behind.
As Seong Chan running towards the goal, Hongdae run side by side to him, which enrages their coach as he should be assisting his teammate but instead raced. ( This scene was actually right in the feels for me, I did relate on Hongdae's feeling on why he did that and this is why you should definitely see the movie on why XD).
And at the end of the game, Hongdae met again the rude reporter who made personal questions about his mother on the presscon before the game and poked the reporter eyes ( which was very satisfying by the way HAHAHA ).
With this, Hongdae became a meme, a popular eye poker and became Horak under an entertainment agency.
There he met Lee So min (IU) a passionate poor blunt producer that will document the journey of Horak in coaching the homeless people that will take part of the Homeless World Cup.
Forced to coach, Horak worked with So Min to form the team that will represent Korea. For the entertainment purposes, So min spearheaded the selection and of course, Horak did not have the say to this :D. With her sly smile, Somin selected all players with good stories that can tug the hearts of the viewers and feed scripts to Horak to continue coaching.
The movie will continue with the back stories of each players and how Horak help or forced (by Somin ) to help the players on their personal lives and continue playing.
A lot happen on here, and as the date of the football game approaches, Horak diligently coaches and became attached with the team but problems arises, sponsorship and violence issue. ( see movie )
Then near end, Horak with his added fame has to abandon his coaching and moved to a new project -- and of course at the day of the flight to the game, Horak mysteriously appeared and became the team coach again.
At the Homeless World Cup, they were in bind as the other nation's player seems to be trained and well prepared. But with their perseverance and will to play the game until the end (this was a bit dramatic so please watch) - Korea became the underdog and crowd's favorite. At the end of the whole tournament, they win 1 game and losses the rest of the games.
After this, Horak/Hongdae was back as a professional player in the football game and the rest of the team he coached watched and supported his play. After stories of each player is also added, do watch. The end.
