1929, Korea. Arisa Jo, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, is the most eligible bachelorette in Gyeongsang (the capital). Her Western attire, movie star hairstyle and confident attitude embodied bold “modern” values. Meet her opponent, Jun Seomoon, a young man from the countryside with deep roots in tradition. Sparks fly between these opposing forces when Arjun is appointed by Arisa’s father as her bodyguard in the big city. Through this unlikely connection, these teens gain eyes and new perspectives on the rapidly changing world they live in.
