Synopsis

A humorous and moving drama about love, duty, and high‑spirited schemes in a Chinese setting.

In this play, ordinary people wrestle with filial duty and heartfelt longing. Centered on San-yee, his mother, and Yu‑soo, the story blends comedy with poignant moments as plans for marriage collide with personal dreams. The action unfolds through verse, vivid stage directions, and a chorus that both guides and gleams with mischief.



Expect a lively exploration of family expectations, social customs, and the pull of true affection. The scenes mix garden work, ceremonial ritual, and clever deception, offering a window into a culture where generosity, pride, and humor push characters toward surprising twists.




  • Meet a devoted son torn between duty and desire, and the woman who tests his heart.

  • Watch schemes unfold through witty dialogue, playful misdirection, and theatrical entrances.

  • Experience vivid stage moments—from gardens and ancestral tablets to festive chorus commentary.

  • Feel the push and pull between tradition and personal happiness, with moments of tenderness and humor.



Ideal for readers who enjoy character‑driven dramas with warmth, humor, and a touch of classical style.
