From ryColaa:
Reputation is everything in a world of icons and popularity contests. So why not score some points here and there by being the nice guy? This is the way Kang Shin-gi legitimizes the fake personality he has everyone believing. Armed with his above average looks and a (completely false) angel-like personality, he has every girl in school head over heels, and all the guys looking to him for guidance. With the exception of having a screwed up cross-dressing devil for a dad, Shin-gi’s life is absolute perfection (*cough* of lies), until one day, Um Seung-hui transfers to his school.
While being a complete martial artist freak, she also likes to fib just a little in front of those who know her… you know, like acting like she's just a scared little girl who'd play with kittens rather than break brick walls with her head! After all, how can anything go wrong when you're as cute as Seung-hui?
Fate has brought these two masters of lies together, and the two must battle it out to see who will be crowned the undefeated heavy-weight champion of fakeness!

From Infinity Studios LLC:
How do you distinguish between the love from a cute neighborhood girl (who’s like a little sister to you), and the love from the hottest, yet quirky, girl in school? This is exactly the question Myung-Ho has to ponder when both his neighbor’s cute little daughter, Ji-Hae, and his school’s most popular diva, Yu-Ri, make him their valentines. Of course he cares for Ji-Hae, because the poor girl’s already been through so much for someone her age, but still, she’s only just a kid. Then there’s Yu-Ri, the girl of his dreams…or rather, she would be if she wasn’t a fortune-telling voodoo witch doctor. Oh and yes, it would also help if her father, the local gangster boss, wasn’t out to kill him. When you’re as lucky as Myung-Ho is(?) choices are very hard to make. On one hand, he could go out with Yu-Ri by turning down Ji-Hae, breaking the heart of a child who’s been depending on him ever since she moved in next door. Or, he could choose Ji-Hae by turning down the only chance at romance with a beautiful girl dead set on making him her destined love. Choices, choices.

From Infinity Studios:
Organized crime has always been an issue in Asia, and one of the underlying roots of the problem stems from the sophistication of the youth delinquency. At virtually every school in Korea, male students almost always have “organized” fights at the beginning of each school year to pick the “captains” of each grade level. In essence, these “captains” became the kingpin boss, and unless you were stronger than him, you did everything he told you to. Now, occasionally, you’ll run across brazen “captains” that try to take over the “territory” of other schools (territories being places where you could hang out, pick up girls, etc.), and you’ll see inter-school brawls, involving massive gangs.
Fighting!! Guidance takes you into the life of Ghi-Han, a former delinquent who decided to wash his hands clean of pointless fights. He gives up life as one of the highest ranked regional fighters to go to a good school to start anew… but of course, fate would have it that he ends up being dragged into fights one way or another. Join Ghi-Han and his newly found best friend, Hyun-ha in an action packed comedy drama that’ll keep you guessing!
