It is a romance about breaking social status and forging one's destiny.
In the released poster, Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and Lee An-daegun (played by Byeon Woo-seok) are enjoying a waltz in a brightly lit ballroom. Their stunning visuals shine even more than the opulent ballroom, reminiscent of a fairy-tale meeting between a princess and a prince.
