Sypnosis:

Set in 1978, Once Upon a Time in High School tells the story of a new transfer student, Hyun-soo in a restrictive authoritarian high school full of corporal punishment, bullying, school violence and military guards to keep watch. Upon arrival, Hyun-soo excels in nearly everything he does, and befriends Hamburger (a student who sells adult magazines for tuition) and Woo-sik (the rash “head of the class” and best fighter). At the same time, he takes notice of a schoolgirl Eun-ju, who probably could make a career out of standing in as a double for Olivia Hussey. Woo-sik also takes notice and a love triangle emerges, against the backdrop of all the students struggling to deal with the restrictive facets of their high school lives.
