Plot

After their parents were killed in a car accident, Na Jin-jin has lived with her mentally handicapped older sister Na Jin-joo, whom she has supported from a young age. Jin-jin barely ekes out a living juggling a series of dead-end part-time jobs, including delivering newspapers and running a nightclub coat check. One day, the nightclub's regular singer doesn't show up and when Jin-jin is asked to fill in, she performs an impromptu version of Laura Branigan's "Gloria." Jin-jin becomes consumed with the idea of becoming a nightclub singer and sees it as her only hope to escape her humdrum life, saying that she only feels alive when she's onstage.
Jin-jin grew up with Ha Dong-ah, who has remained her loyal friend through everything, as he himself raises his young nephew. But Dong-ah, a gifted fighter, turns to a life in the mob.
Lee Kang-suk, the illegitimate son of a wealthy family and president of a record label, begins pursuing Jin-jin, while suicidal ex-ballet dancer Jung Yoon-seo catches Dong-ah's eye.
