Mingi, who once used to be called the Shakespearean genius, for his unique outstanding interpretation and analysis of Shakespearean dramas over 10 years ago, now directs nasty low class trashy porn plays on stage, against his will and in conflict with his dreams, just to bring in money.
But as the fate would have it, the Shakespearean Theater Competition in commemoration of the 450th anniversary just grabs his attention and triggers the Shakespeare in his blood, so he gets to prepare this tragic classic play, <Hamlet> with his gang of actors.
Every single actor of Mingi Theater Co. has their own life drama stories of turmoil and tears. Cheolgu, the producer of this Theater Co. suffers from stage fright and performance anxiety, though he used to be widely loved comedian. Jiyeon, as a single mom of a high school teen, who explodes in anger and insults toward her mom as a porn actress, is dying to share her dream with her daughter. And Jintae, who is a retired actor, who was once renowned for playing only Hamlet for 40 years, joins the troupe for showing his last performance to his 90-year-old mother.
And Wooshik, a self-proclaimed Russian Shchukin Theatre College graduate, seemingly bluffing through his acting career, is obsessed with being Hamlet. Seulgi, a member of an idol girl group, joins the gang, dreaming to be a real actress breaking away from the ‘princess’ image.
After so many twists and turns, the curtain is up and their Hamlet is on-stage, seemingly on a smooth ride, until one member loses his temper and makes a scene, and Hamlet happens to die at the wrong time. One event sets things up for another event, so they need to improvise….incessantly…. (end)
