Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Jung-Hwa (Uhm Jung-Hwa) has supported her husband Jung-Min (Hwang Jung-Min) and child until he passed his bar exam at the age of 35. Years later, Jung-Min has opened his own small law office, but their financial situation hasn't improved very much. Jung-Hwa still teaches aerobics at a gym. She loves to sing and dance.

One night, Jung-Min is drunk and waiting for a subway train. Another man, that is even more drunk, falls onto the train tracks. People gather around, but they don't know what to do. Jung-Min also looks down at the helpless man and then is accidentally pushed onto the train tracks himself. Right before the subway train arrives, Jung-Min is able to pull the other man and himself to safety. The next morning, Jung-Min answers his door and is surprised to see a throng of reporters outside wanting to interview him.

Meanwhile, Jung-Hwa's best friend & hair stylist Myung-Ae (Ra Mi-Ran) decides to participate on the TV music talent show "Super Star K." While they talk about the audition, Jung-Hwa sees her husband on TV.

Jung-Min's popularity soon soars as he is thought of as a good samaritan. He begins to appear on TV shows and even on advertisements. Jung-Min is then chosen to run as a candidate for the upcoming city mayoral election.

Jung-Hwa and Myung-Ae take part in the auditions for TV show "Super Star K," but do not make it pass the preliminary stage. Then, Jung-Hwa's old acquaintance Han-Wi (Lee Han-Wi) spots a TV clip of Jung-Hwa's audition on Super Star K. Han-Wi works for a talent agency and is putting together a female group. Han-Wi then contacts Jung-Hwa and asks if she wants to join the "Dancing Queens".

YooahVicky7 Jun 03 2018 2:52 pm Loved it had it's sappy and funny moments!

Ronaldo Oct 26 2013 6:10 am Even though I feel incomplete and expecting for more scenes, I can say that it's a good movie. It made me laugh and cry...happiness and sadness are equally emphasized in this movie. Job well done...

Gasenadi Sep 03 2013 8:43 pm Wonderful messages in this movie, totally unexpected. Loved it. But am disappointed the child actors are not included in these credits. Especially since his child version is portrayed by Cheon Bo-Keun, already an accomplished actor at his young age.

Soobin Jun 04 2013 2:54 am Saw this on netflix today... Very inspirational as well as cute and funny! The acting was quite great and Jeong Min's dialect was on spot xD Lovely movie! Would gladly recommend it!
