Oh Dong-gu (Ryu Deo-hwan) is a high school student who has always believed he was different than everyone else around him, and he's become convinced that he was meant to be a girl rather than a boy. Emboldened by the sassy attitude of his favorite singer, Madonna, and determined not to be intimidated by his father, an alcoholic former boxer, Dong-gu works at a part-time job and saves his money, dreaming of the day he can afford a sex change operation. He has no interest in sports but when he learnsthat a wrestling tournament is being held with a large cash prize going to the winner, Dong-gu signs on with the school's wrestling team in order to learn the sport. While his teammates shun him, the coach (Baek Yoon-sik) sees promise in the eccentric lad, and to the surprise of everyone, Dong-gu's years of imitating Madonna's dance moves have given him a speed and agility that might make him a winner in the ring after all.
