Plot

In April 1933, Korea's Japanese occupiers launched the country's first radio station, JODK. It broadcasts propaganda so as to better brainwash the Korean people into becoming loyal Japanese citizens. In need of a Korean producer for a radio drama about the greatness of Japan's Asian Empire, they appoint Lloyd Park (Ryu Seung-bum), a young man who has only joined the radio station through his father's connections.

Lloyd, who is more interested in womanizing than working, has no intention to produce the propaganda program until he is introduced to beautiful jazz singer Mary (Kim Sa-rang). Because she wants a boyfriend with a respectable job, Lloyd signs up. They are joined by alcoholic announcer Man-chul, gisaeng (Korean Geisha) Myung-wol (Hwang Bo-ra), errand girl Soon-duk and a vulgar novelist No Bong-al (Kim Rwi-ha).

As expected, their drama "The Flame of Love" is a mess from the very beginning. Believing that the drama needs realistic sounds effects, Lloyd hires K (Jong-hyuk LEE) who in his spare time works for the resistance. Thanks to K’s outstanding contribution, the drama becomes popular among the growing number of radio owners. As the drama comes to its much anticipated conclusion, the Japanese occupiers want to intervene to give it the appropriate ending...
