Cho Young-sook, who has continued the tradition of women's gukgeuk for 74 years, has two brilliant students. Park Su-bin has worked as a female performer who plays male roles in women's gukgeuk for more than 20 years. Hwang Ji-young was raised as a female gukgeuk actress. They are running a women's gukgeuk production center and are struggling to continue the momentum of women's gukgeuk, which is losing popular interest. However, it is not easy to continue performing women's gukgeuk, and the two are changing their minds more and more. The two, who want to make a big stage with women's gukgeuk even once before Cho Young-sook passes away, prepare for a performance of "Legendary Chunhyangjeon," thinking that it is their last performance. However, it is not easy to perform in the absence of funding. Park Su-bin and Hwang Ji-young, as third-generation women gukgeuk artists, spend their days searching for teachers, recruiting them, and scrambling to raise funds for the performances.
