'Chunaengjeon' is the work in which the temperate soul of 'Chang-Ha Kim' has. He teaches it to his adopted son 'Doyle' and to his student 'Choyeong' and Doyle falls in love with Choyeong. Against the wishes of Chang-Ha, Doyle leaves for free-spirited dance and Choyeong remains in the palace. Doyle joins in 'Namsadangpae', a group of traveling entertainers while Choyeong cares for Chang-Ha, who suffers an apoplectic stroke. Chang-Ha passes away, dancing his work 'Chunaengjeon' in hope that Choyeong will remain a real dancer.

As time passes, Choyeong meets with Doyle wearing a mask. While dancing with him, she comes to realize that she should part ways with him. She dances 'Chunaengjeon' for the last time and at its peak, she makes a smile.
