Cast

Main characters

Despite being in her early twenties, Choon-hee is the bread winner of her household and she works to make ends meet while taking care of her father and younger sister. Her late mother was a trot singer, and Choon-hee inherited her singing talent and dreams of following in her footsteps. She gets all the practice time she can squeeze in by belting out in noraebangs.[6]
Joon-hyun is a genius songwriter/music producer with "top star" mainstream popularity and snobbish tastes in music. Arrogant and prickly in personality, he loathes trot which he considers low-brow. But he later helps the no-name Choon-hee realize her dream of becoming a trot singer.[7]
A business man who suddenly has to take over as CEO of his father's entertainment agency, Shine Star. Despite being cynical, he is elegant, charming and outgoing. Geun-woo signs Choon-hee as Shine Star's latest talent and later falls for her.[8][9]
