“Soul Mate” is adapted from the original play “The Joyful Occasion at the Maeng Jin-sa Household”: Mr. Maeng may be the wealthiest man in the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910), but is deeply resentful that he failed to enter politics despite having passed the state entrance examination. He hopes to raise the social status of his family by marrying his son Mongwan to Seohyang, the daughter of the illustrious Minister Kim. Mongwan is beckoned to return home from studying in Qing China. The elite yet impoverished Minister Kim agrees to the proposal in order to ensure a more prosperous future for his daughter. Mongwan and Seohyang are both unhappy with the arranged marriage but do not wish to disrespect their parents’ wishes. Carrying heavy hearts, they both secretly yearn to find true love on their own by disguising themselves as servants…
