Man Bo is portrayed as a wealthy real estate tycoon who prioritizes wealth and women over everything else, while his younger brother Choon Bo is depicted as kind and submissive. The brothers had been estranged for almost two decades, ever since Choon Bo gave his youngest son, Yeong Goo, to Man Bo in the hopes of having a son. Unfortunately, Choon Bo's wife believed that their youngest son had passed away shortly after birth. After facing financial ruin, Choon Bo turns to his brother for help. He moves into the small house next to Man Bo's, bringing along his three children, daughter-in-law, and wife. Together, they strive for a better future. Tensions arise between the families as Man Bo's wife and daughter try to make life difficult for Choon Bo's daughter, Soo Jin. When Soo Jin and Mi Ree find themselves competing for the same man, the outcome is predictable - the kind-hearted girl emerges victorious. As the two families clash over love, secrets, and money matters, the virtuous brother ultimately teaches the wealthy brother a valuable lesson, echoing the themes of the original Korean folktale.

New Tales of Gisaeng explores the themes of love, sorrow, and the struggles faced by individuals connected to a gisaeng house, an exclusive venue accessible only to VIPs. Dan Sa Ran pursued a degree in classical dance during her college years. She lost her mother at a young age, and her father later remarried, introducing a new stepsister and a materialistic stepmother with whom she finds it difficult to bond. Although Sa Ran hails from a less fortunate background, she upholds her dignity around friends from affluent families. By either fate or chance, she encounters Da Mo, to whom she feels an immediate attraction, yet her awareness of her economic status prevents her from expressing it. The head gisaeng at Buyongkak notices Sa Ran's innate beauty, elegance, and talent for dance, suggesting that she consider becoming a gisaeng. On the other hand, Ah Da Mo is studying business administration at his father's company. He has a strained relationship with his father, who is emotionally distant and shows more affection for their pet dog than for his family. Da Mo has a cocky demeanor and often looks down on women, but his attitude begins to shift when he unexpectedly meets Sa Ran. He finds himself inexplicably drawn to her, marking the beginning of their relationship.
