After the funeral of an old friend, Dukchul Shim resolves to pursue something he had always wanted to try: ballet. Much to the surprise (and maybe~ horror) of his wife, children, and other acquaintances, this 70-year-old throws himself into following his heart and his passion. With the help of his young instructor Chaerok and others hoping for their own ambitions to take flight, Dukchul shows the importance and joy of pursuing one's dream… even in the face of hardships and our own mortality.
An old man finally deciding to do what he loves, ballet, for the first time. He gets a lot of negative reactions but also some of the most supportive people to follow him. It’s a slice of life and is a really sweet, inspiring story.
This story has inspired me! The courage to do something and bet your whole life on it. If I had even 1/4 of the belief in myself as Mr. Shim, I’d be alright. Read it and weep!
I saw this webtoon in tiktok earlier today and I really liked the plot of this manhwa. It inspired, and even made me tear up. It gave me motivation to pursue my dreams as the characters have pursued theirs. And I also realized that it can never be too late to try, so give it your all and don’t quit because as long as you can do it, with perseverance, determination, skill, practice and talent you will surely soar.
