Every 2nd Thursday of November, the entire country of South Korea is put to the test. That day, half a million senior high school students and exam repeaters take part in the National University Exam. But the exam isn't a regular school test. The test will be a pathway to obtaining a spot at a prestigious university and landing a job at a top-ranked corporation. "We Repeat" tells the story of 2 exam repeaters, Hyunha and Minjun, to prepare the exam one more year. 10 months before the exam takes place, they live a life of strict routine. On an average day Hyunha gets up as early as 6 a.m. to study and arrives home well after midnight. Minjun enters a private remote boarding school and follows a spartan study schedule.
