The classic love triangle gets a steamy Joseon-era remix with a twist ending you'll fight about.
A magistrate, who has fallen for gisaeng Chun Hyang, pushes back his priorities and always visits the gisaeng house to get her attention. Chun Hyang is working at Maewol until she finds Mong Ryong who has been out of contact ever since he came to Hanyang for a test in Go-hyang Nam-won. She refuses to accept the magistrate. Then one day, Mong Ryong comes to Maewol to find Chunhyang. The three people share a complicated fate as this story has a different result compared to the original Chunhyang Story.
