This drama is based on webcomic “나빌레라 / Navillera” written by Hun and illustrated by “지민 / Ji Min” which was published from 2016-July-26 to 2017-Oct-31 via “Daum Webtoon Corp“.
Shim Duk Chul (Park In Hwan) is a 70-year-old retired mailman who decides to pursue his life-long dream of learning ballet, which does not please his family. At the dance academy, he meets Lee Chae Rok (Song Kang), a 23-year-old dancer who became interested in ballet after trying out different sports — his mother was a ballet dancer before she died of a disease when he was young. He is struggling financially and thinks of giving up ballet when he meets Duk Chul, which changes his mind.

I really do not understand taste of Korean in dramas. The story and script of Navillera is so great, and while the actors are not as popular as Lee Min Ho, Kim Soo-Hyun, etc. they all really play their parts so well. Episode 10 really had me in tears by the end of the episode. Well, just know the we foreign korean drama watchers are loving this drama even if it does not have good ratings by Korean standards. It’s about hopes and dreams, and staying positive. I hope the cast and crew of the drama will stay positive, too. Aja! Navillera!
