"The Hope" is a TV drama starring Zhang Ruo Yun and Huang Yao. It tells the story of a dedicated teacher who uses innovative teaching methods to help "underachieving" students succeed and gain admission to their dream school.

In the school, the teacher often eats instant noodles. Despite facing skepticism from others, he has confidence in his students. The teachers' focus is on teaching effective learning methods, breaking the traditional patterns of Class 11 students. They emphasize extracting essential knowledge, disregarding unnecessary details, and focusing on the key points that matter for the college entrance examination.

The teacher imparts valuable methods to the students, serving as their motivation to aspire for prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University. The students of Class 11, however, lack confidence in themselves and doubt their potential for admission to these top universities. They view themselves as jokes and contemplate giving up before even starting. Nevertheless, the classmates begin to help and support each other, studying together at night. The positive atmosphere and camaraderie among them foster trust and mutual learning. Even past midnight, the students of Class 11 remain enthusiastic about their studies, engaging in fruitful discussions. This intensive training program brings about a qualitative leap in their learning experience, transforming it from a painful task into an enjoyable pursuit.

A small twist occurs when a misjudgment regarding the test papers results in both immense joy and sorrow for five students from Class 11. Nevertheless, this incident demonstrates the progress achieved under the guidance of Teacher Lei, further boosting everyone's confidence.
