Determined to become a ballroom dancer, country boy KWAN farewells his disapproving father and journeys to a renowned studio in Singapore to train under his idol EMI, a former champion.

A fish out of water, Kwan struggles to survive in the big city, and having taught himself to dance solely from instructional videos he's the worst student at the studio. Emi however recognizes his passion and hidden talent. When the other students shun Kwan as a partner for the looming ballroom dancing championships, Emi steps in and romance blossoms.

However, Emi's ex boyfriend CHENG, the reigning kung fu champion, refuses to let her go and fuelled by jealousy forces Kwan to accept a challenge, a show down of furious martial arts routines, with the loser leaving town, and Emi for good.

Elvera Sep 02 2023 12:30 am When it comes to the performing arts is there anything Jang Hyuk can't do? Being a major fan of this artist I'm always looking for past performances and I wanted to see this particular one for quite some time. I watched it on YouTube without subtitles it was in English but it wasn't very good audio. Nonetheless I watched it because of its artistry. I've said this before and I'll say it again this is one of the most versatile actors I had ever seen in my whole life. Still surfing for more performances

Nalyah Jun 16 2009 10:28 am It was an interesting and touchy story, although especially for people who really fancy dancing since it was such a big part of the plot. It was definitely worth seeing how much one must sacrifice and be challenged in order to follow one's dreams and become a dancer. The main character comes from the countryside where all that counts is 'real' work/job, not the 'dreamy' one. He struggles throughout the movie knowing that chasing his dreams will break his family's hearts, yet he decides to pursue his dream. I really liked the performance of the main characters and visuals of the movie: lights effects and different moods settings. In some ways I wasn't really convinced by the realism of the boyfriend character (the marital art champion or something). It also took quite a while before the story evolved.
