This story sheds new light on the life of Joseon-era dancer, musician and
poet Hwangjini, 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 Hwangjini is portrayed by top actress Ha Ji-won.
Meanwhile, Wang Bit-na portrays another prominent dancer of the same era
who is jealous of Hwangjini`s artistic talent. The role of nobleman Kim Eun-
ho, Hwangjini`s first love who dies because their love turns out unrealistic
due to differences in their social status, is played by Chang Keun-seok,
while king`s relative Byuk Kye-soo, who becomes addicted to Hwangjini but
fails to win her heart, is played by Yoo Tae-jun. Actor Lee Shi-hwan
portrays Yi Saeng, an ambivalent character who is neither Hwangjini`s lover
nor friend. Kim Young-ae plays the role of dancing girls` trainer, while Kim
Bo-yeon portrays her rival, Mae-hyang. The role of dancer Heon-keum,
Hwangjini`s mother who gave birth to her as a result of her belief that love
only comes once in a lifetime, is portrayed by Chun Mi-seon.
