Fails to dig below the surface novelty of its subject.

Overview
The two main characters, Mon and Jung, play two gay transvestites, who had been constantly overlooked by volleyball coaches because of their appearance. However, when a local team changes coaches, the new coach holds tryouts for a new team. When Mon and Jung are selected, most of the old players resign, leaving the new coach, Coach Bee, in a sticky predicament.

If you can tolerate its predictability, you may fall for Iron Ladies' lighthearted spirit and affectionate humor.
