Seoul, under a drizzling spring rain; Korea is under the rule of Japan. A gisaeng(Korean geisha) named Jeong-ok (Ju Jeung-nyeo) and Myeong-gyu (Lee Min), the son of a bank president, fall in love. However, the bank president, Lee Eun-jik (Kim Seung-ho), placing importance on family background, objects to his son's relationship because of Jeong-ok's occupation. However, Myung-gyu leaves home and sets up a home with Jeong-ok. When Myung-gyu dies, Jeong-ok has his baby, named Yeong-gu (Park Geum-hui). When Eun-jik brings Yeong-gu home to raise him as the family's successor, he becomes impressed with the close relationship between mother and son, finally bringing Jeong-ok into his household and accepting her as his daughter-in-law.
