The story of the growth of two girls following their dreams in a women's national drama troupe that drove their "sister's unit" in the 1950s.

The drama made a big splash with its perfect acting and actual performance.

As interest in the forgotten "Women's Gukgeuk" grew, the faces of former stars also blossomed into laughter.

[Lee Ok-cheon / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 2nd Generation: It felt like the past was now depicted (in a drama). I'm so thankful, and Gukgeuk is known a lot because of "Jungnyeon."]

The first-generation female Gukgeuk master, who has already turned 90 years old, also praised her.

[Cho Young-sook / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 1st generation: How much effort you put into this sound, it's the same. I was so amazed and thankful. He was so good.]

In the 1950s, when it was as popular as today's idols, Gukgeuk was the most brilliant 'Hwayang Yeonhwa'.

[Cho Young-sook / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 1st generation: I couldn't get out of the house because the students (in front of the house) were full. (The police came) Why didn't you go to school called 'Go' here? If you tell the school that you're going to expel them, they'll run away and then they'll come again]
People flocked to the point where they had to step on the pile of money

[Cho Young-sook / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 1st generation: When a mother (who came as an audience) lies down (because she can't go outside), the guests on this side send her out like this. There were so many people.]

It has been well over 70 years since he was born as the daughter of Cho Mong-sil, a famous pansori singer, and began to speak despite opposition from his family.

[Cho Young-sook / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 1st generation: (In the play) There's a scene where I carry a bag, and when I go on stage, my mother was surprised when the audience applauded and said, 'Wow.' I can't help it. I can't deceive blood.It has been more than 50 years since I've lived as a "bangja" in Chunhyangjeon, listening to the words

'Cho Young-sook is a bangja'.

In July, he played five roles per person in a recomposed performance of "Princess Seonhwa", and he is forever active.

[Cho Young-sook / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 1st generation (in Sejong Center for the Performing Arts "Cho Dokkaebi Young-suk"): You got it right! I got it right! [I found the prince because I got hit]

[Cho Young-sook / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 1st Generation: When I sing and cry, they cry together and like it so much.]

There is only one wish of a master who has given everything to women's gukgeuk while performing and living in debt.

[Cho Young-sook / Actor/Women's Gukgeuk 1st Generation: It's over when the boom of our women's Gukgeuk fades and dies down.Even if it doesn't become a national cultural asset, it remains. [I hope it's a cultural asset of Seoul]
