Ambitious and energetic In-young practises traditional Korean dancing and wants to become a professional dancer one day. When she loses her mother suddenly, she has to learn to be independent and make a new life for herself.
Teenage In-young is away from home at a dancing contest when she learns that her mum died in a car crash. The brave girl won’t give up, even when she is bullied by the best dancer in her group. When she’s about to be evicted because of overdue rent, she decides to live in her dance school secretly. But the secret is soon uncovered by Seol-ah, her demanding and cold choreographer, who is not very popular with In-young and the other girls from the troupe. Fortunately, In-young’s sense of humour and brightness never leave her. A unique bond will grow between her and Seol-ah. Despite their apparent differences, they will grow really close together.
