Eun-young must protect her students from the harmful jellies, by killing them with a plastic toy sword and a BB gun. She is joined by the classical Chinese teacher, Hong In-pyo (Nam Joo-hyuk, Creator/GregChun in the English dub), who has a force field around him that protects him from the jellies and radiates magical energy. |
