On the show, female artists and television personalities compete in a five-a-side football tournament. Lee Soo-geun and Bae Sung-jae act as commentators for the series.

Format

The show mainly uses the rules of futsal. There are two periods of 10 minutes with time stopping at every dead ball. Games cannot end in draws and no additional time is played. The game goes to a penalty shoot-out if the scores are even at full-time.

In Season 1, six teams were divided into two groups which advanced and played single-elimination for the winner.

Season 2 was separated into League and Super League. Last season's top three were auto-qualified for Super League. The remaining three teams played in a single round robin league with three other new teams. The top three players of this league advanced to the Super League to compete to be the season's winner.

Season 3 and 4 introduced the Challenger League.^[3] The bottom team of the Challenger League lost its qualification for the next season.

Both the Challenger and Super leagues ran at the same time.

All Star games were played between each season.

Season 6 introduced the G League. Ten teams are divided into two groups of five. The top three of each group qualify for the final tournament. The bottom two of each group play in the Challenger League, with the bottom team losing its qualification for the next season.
