Once upon a time, a young and beautiful prince lived in a shining castle in a land. The prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. One cold night, a shabby older woman came to the castle and begged for lodging in exchange for a single rose. The prince turns away the older woman, who tells him not to judge people by their appearance. Still, just as he tries to get rid of her again, she transforms into a sorceress, turning the prince into a hideous beast and the servants into things. She says, “Before the roses fall, the prince will die. If the prince does not love and be loved before the rose falls, the spell will never be broken, and he will never be human again.
One day, Belle, a beautiful and intelligent girl from a nearby village, wanders into the castle. The servants entertain her, offering her a chance to break the spell. Meanwhile, the Beast gradually falls in love with Belle. Still, he is troubled by his inability to express his love and suffers from the shame of his hideous appearance.
Belle escapes from the castle and is surrounded by a pack of wolves in the forest. Just as she is about to flee, a wild beast rushes in and saves her. Belle returns to the castle and tends to the wounded Beast.
The two realize each other’s kindness and gradually begin to feel each other’s heart. However, the roses are falling day by day, and the Beast is in danger. Will the day ever come when they will love and be loved, and the spell will be broken?

Saddened that the man she fell in love with is her enemy, Romeo irresistibly appears before her, confides his feelings, and they pledge their love to each other…
Romeo consults Friar Lawrence, who sees in their love a glimmer of hope to put an end to the strife between the two families and helps her. The two are married in secret at Friar Lawrence’s house.
On their way home, however, they become embroiled in a dispute, and Lady Capulet’s nephew Tybalt kills Romeo’s best friend, Marcus. Romeo, having lost his best friend, turns on him and avenges Marcusio’s death.

On the eve of her wedding to Paris, Juliet, bracing herself for death, takes the potion and drinks herself to death.
The next day, the Capillettes held a funeral service.

Meanwhile, Shim Duk-chul, who has worked for his family for many years as a postman, reaches retirement age and begins to think about the rest of his life.
One day, Duk-chul passes by a dance studio and is captivated by the sight of Cheol-geok dancing there. Duk-chul had always wanted to be a ballet dancer as a child, but his family was too poor to make it happen. He visits the studio where Cheolok used to dance and tells Cheolok that he wants to take ballet lessons, but Cheolok is not interested. The head of the ballet studio, seeing Dok-chul’s enthusiasm, asks Chelok to become Dok-chul’s ballet instructor and Dok-chul to become Chelok’s manager.
Thus begins a series of ballet lessons between the young and the old, a seemingly strange pair.
