Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
On the heels of their small screen hit The King and the Clown, filmmaking duo Lee Jun-II and writer re-team for a heterosexual all-male love story starring Ahn Song-Ki and Park Joong-Hoon. Back in 1998, rocker Choi Gon had the power to make an entire stadium full of girl weep, but these days he relegated to playing small coffee houses. Embittered and unstable, Choi is constantly picking fights, and eventually winds up in jail. Soon after, Choi is offered a DJ gig at a provincial radio station in Young-wol. At first Choi scoffs at the prospect, but soon enough his long-suffering manager Park Min-Soo (Ahn) convinces the has-been rocker to give it a try. Despite the fact that the first few months are pretty rough going, things start to look up when a local garage band announce plans to play a tribute concert to their musical hero.
