The students' boundless energy and enthusiasm challenge the novice teachers, creating a unique dynamic that enhances the show's entertainment value.

Most notably, Kim Tae-ri, who takes on the roles of director, adapter, and instructor, will present a special theater performance with the students who are new to acting. She teaches with kindness and precision, matching the children's level, while they eagerly prepare for the play. The support from assistant teachers Choi Hyun-wook and Kangnam, along with Code Kunst's immersive soundscapes, culminates in a performance that is another highlight of the show.

World-renowned chef Ahn Sung-jae will make a surprise appearance as a special guest, adding further interest. Ahn will provide the aspiring students with a unique experience and memorable moments, akin to a meaningful gift.
