Description from Disney+ Great Britain

Jeongnyeon is a girl from Mokpo with a gifted voice who wants nothing but to get rich for her poor family. While singing at the market to attract customers, she meets Okgyeong, the greatest gukgeuk star of her time. Through Okgyeong, Jeongnyeon discovers gukgeuk, Korean female classical opera, for the first time and is mesmerized by the art. Despite her mother's opposition, Jeongnyeon joins Maeran Gukgeukdan in Seoul. Now her only focus is to become the best gukgeuk actor after Okgyeong! Jeongnyeon has always been confident in her singing but is threatened by Youngseo, an elite gukgeuk trainee. As she quickly rises to be on par with Youngseo, Jeongnyeon faces unexpected challenges. This is a coming-of-age story of competition, solidarity, and the journey to becoming the best gukgeuk actor. Some flashing lights sequences or patterns may affect photosensitive viewers.
