My Little Hero
Sometimes, the most valuable mentor has the worst first impression.
Children's musical theater director Il-han is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to audition for the $10 million Broadway-bound blockbuster musical 'The Great King Jung-jo'. Also auditioning is Young-gwang, a half-Korean and half-Filipino child, who is gifted with a spectacular voice, honed without any specialized training. Young-gwang nonetheless believes that he will win the coveted role. Incredibly, he earns a spot in the final round of audition. Il-han works hard to create a masterpiece and together with Young-gwang, they form a dazzling duo. Their impressive teamwork takes them to the finals, but in a crucial moment Il-han accepts a proposal he cannot afford to refuse. Il-han swaps the the dark-skinned Young-gwang for a failed semi-finalist Choi in order to ensure himself the music director role. Young-gwang flies back to the Philippines bitterly disappointed. However, soon regretting his decision, Il-han travels to the Philipines to find back his teammate.
