As Lee Myong Ryong begins his courtship of the beautiful Lady Chun Hyang, both parties use their servants to communicate. Having the handsome Bang Ja Jeon as the messenger creates an unexpected dynamic that challenges traditional social boundaries. As secrets unfold and passions ignite, the line between master and servant begins to blur.
