Synopsis
The story of Hwang Jin Yi, the famous 16th century Gisaeng.
This story sheds new light on the life of Joseon-era dancer, musician and poet Hwang Jini, who made her art blossom even when her love was put to test. The series also depicts the tragic life of a woman who faces hardships due to her social status. The drama drew the spotlight even before its premiere because Hwang Jini is portrayed by top actress Ha Jiwon. Meanwhile, Wang Binna portrays another prominent dancer of the same era who is jealous of Hwang Jini's artistic talent. The role of nobleman Kim Eunho, Hwang Jini's first love who dies because their love turns out unrealistic due to differences in their social status, is played by Jang Geunseok, while king's relative Byeok Kyesu, who becomes addicted to Hwang Jini but fails to win her heart, is played by Yu Taejun. Actor Yi Shihwan portrays Yi Saeng, an ambivalent character who is neither Hwang Jini's lover nor friend. Kim Yeong-ae plays the role of dancing girls' trainer, while Kim Boyeon portrays her rival, Maehyang. The role of dancer Hyeongeum, Hwang Jini's mother who gave birth to her as a result of her belief that love only comes once in a lifetime, is portrayed by Jeon Miseon.
