Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Based on the real story of Shin Jae-Hyo and Chae-Sun.

In 1867, Shin Jae-Hyo (Ryoo Seung-Ryong) leads the Dongrijungsa which teaches pansori (traditional Korean musical storytelling). A young girl, Chae-Sun (Bae Suzy), who wants to perform pansori, appears in front of him. Chae-Sun has dreamed of performing pansori since she first heard Shin Jae-Hyo perform when she was little, but Shin Jae-Hyo turns her down because women are not allowed to perform pansori.

Chae-Sun then disguises herself as a man and enters the Dongrijungsa to learn pansori, but Shin Jae-Hyo doesn't accept her as his student. One day, he hears Daewongun (Kim Nam-Gil), the most powerful man in Joseon and the father of the King, is going to hold a national competition of pansori performers known as “Naksungyeon.”

Shin Jae-Hyo decides to teach Chae-Sun who has a true voice to perform “Chunhyangga.” If anyone finds out that Chae-Sun is a woman, Shin Jae-Hyo and Chae-Sun will both face death.

eve vicente Nov 23 2014 10:04 am Such a good choice of actor for this movie. Ryoo Seung, Suzy and Kim Nam Gil. I've seen KIM NAM GIL in Pirates and he was superb and I'm so amazed with his talent. He was so versatile He was so good in doing drama so i know this is going to be a good project for him.

BLenie Nov 19 2014 10:37 am i dont like Suzy to be partner w/ old actors .. suzy is to pretty .. just to partner it with old actors .. dont like it !!

Bae suzy fan Oct 21 2014 8:35 am Suzy unnie fighting ^^

Suzy fan Oct 21 2014 8:33 am I'm really looking forward for this movie. Hope it turns out good like suzy's previous dramas/movies. I know she will do well. she is good actress. p.s don't worry about naked scene or anyth. Lol she wouldn't do this kinda. She is still young. anyway suzy fighting! Dorihawaga fighting! <3 _ <3

Kina Oct 15 2014 3:45 am Magnificent goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you're just too excellent. I actually like what you've acquired here, certainly like what you are stating and the way in which you say it.

You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it wise.

I can't wait to read much more from you. This is actually a great site.

Hi Sep 14 2014 12:04 pm When you want to become an actress, you have to accept your role no matter what.. If not you won't be a good actress..they probably won't make Suzy having bed scenes. Don't worry.. She won't look good doing it anyways.., she is not a versatile actress that could do any role.

thinkii Sep 13 2014 2:59 pm there won't be a sex scene in this movie, Suzy isn't ready yet maybe in the future lol. It would be really akward if she isn't fully prepared yet for that kind of scenes. If there's going to be those sex or rape scene they probably skip those scenes pretending they did it and is naked (covered) or crying in bed in the next scene (showing they did it). There's probably a kiss scene, i bet the korean citizen will rage and criticize Suzy or the director for doing a sex scene because she's still young lol.

thinkii Sep 13 2014 2:46 pm i don't think there will be a sex scene, probably a kiss scene. I don't think Suzy is ready for a sex scene yet, maybe in the future lol. My guess is if there's going to be a sex or rape scene they will surely skip it, pretending they did it and in the next scene awake in the bed naked or something XD.

Suzy Sep 13 2014 9:05 am Suzy fighting

Kim Sep 12 2014 9:41 am Kim Nam Gil will play a prince and Suzy will be his concubine. OMG, will there be a sex scene???

WTF !!! Sep 12 2014 8:47 am Shit, please don't make any sex scene for suzy!!! I think the PD take suzy for the role because suzy have some rumours that she looks like a porn star...I said this because she's the only girl or woman in this drama which has a "CONCUBINE" part! WTF !!! with an old man?!! OMFGGG!!!

lovesuzybae Sep 11 2014 4:56 pm MY bae suzy fighting <3

Sherab Lhamo Sep 11 2014 11:15 am I actually wouldn't mind a kiss scene though. I am sailing on the kim namgil-suzy ship and i hope this movie will be a great success. :))

chona Sep 11 2014 2:59 am kim nam gil is so young for this role but I know his ability . please just not sex scene for kim nam gil ....

shim Sep 11 2014 2:52 am please NO" sexy scene. I can't bear ,she is so young.

selina Sep 10 2014 3:12 pm Im so excited for this!! :D

Damareu Aug 06 2014 4:03 pm Woaaa!!! I think this movie will be interesting. I hope Suzy Eonni and Ryu Seung Ryong Ajussi do their best. Fighting!!! ;)

Haemie Jul 31 2014 1:41 am I'm so excited!!! I just hope that there will be "NO" sexy scene for Miss Suzy (since she will be a concubine on the story).. It would be awesome!!! I hope the outcome of the movie will be DAEBAK! <3 <3 <3 SUZY FIGHTING!!!! (^_^)

kpopstar Jun 16 2014 10:22 pm Does age really matter becuz in Witch's Romance the guy and girl were at a different age. And besides this is just a Korean movie.

bia Jun 16 2014 4:37 pm they will be akward in act together, the difference in age is 24 years ...

grace Jun 16 2014 6:45 am Unnie fighting!!!^^ whoaaa this movie should be the greatest movie ever for sure♡♡♡♡ cups but i please dont make suzy unnie do a sexual scene:"( huhuhu....

Noel Jun 16 2014 2:00 am yay.! Bae Suzy my idol.! Can't wait to see you again..

Anonymous Jun 16 2014 1:48 am OMG.. First, I appreciate the essence of the movie and the actors are also great. But when I read the plot Chae Sun supposedly to be Bae Suzy will become a CONCUBINE of a king?! for the Lord sake IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO HER she is still young to make that role. Bae Suzy is known as Nation's First Love, pure and innocent, this is a BIG NO! for her to make a scene related to concubine. So please.. We love Bae Suzy so much she is a very talented girl and has a great potential in acting. But the character is not appropriate and don't force her to do a sexual scene! especially this is a true story and the outcome needs to become realistic. Don't get me wrong and don't be mad in my comment this can be a criticism for good. Bae Suzy deserve something better romcom, action, melodrama, in TV/Movie will do with a great partners like Kim Soo Hyun that would be Daebak!
