A Must-See Traditional Korean Performance

Miso: A Korean word that means “beautiful smile”

The Miso performance is ranked by foreign visitors as the number one artistic performance to watch in Korea. Due to its high-level of praise received from both professional ciritis and normal viewers (via a survey conducted in 2012 by the Korea Tourism Organization), Jeongdong Theater has decided to showcase this performance once again, aiming for more popularization and globalization of traditional Korean culture this time.
The show has been running since 1997, and for 2014 was reborn as the new “MISO:Baebijang-jeon” performance.

Introduction

Synopsis

“MISO : Baebijang-jeon (裵裨將傳)”, is based off a major satirical novel of the Joseon Dynasty and tells the story of the fateful encounter of Secretary Bae, an official that we can’t help but love, and Ae-rang, a beautiful woman who is proud and clever. Bae Geol-deok-swe, who holds honor in a high regard, is appointed to a government secretary position in charge of culture and art. He goes to his new post in Jeju Island with the new district magistrate. In Jeju Island, Secretary Bae doesn’t mingle with the people at the welcoming party of the new magistrate. Instead, he goes around scolding the other secretaries for socializing with gisaengs (courtesans). The magistrate wants to test Secretary Bae who vows never to be seduced by any kind of temptation, so the magistrate declares that he’ll handsomely reward anyone who can seduce Secretary Bae. Ae-rang, one of Jeju Island’s most beautiful women, comes forward, saying she’ll seduce him. The male servant that works for Secretary Bae agrees to help her. Secretary Bae, who bolstered himself up talking of honor, sees Ae-rang taking a bath at the waterfall and immediately falls in love with her. With the help of his servant, Secretary Bae heads over to Ae-rang’s house.
