Jaya is a gisaeng (Korean geisha) who passionately loved a poet. She couldn’t forget him so she kept missing him all her life. Years passes and Jaya is now an old woman with gray hair. Her lover then appears. It is Baek Seok. He is still a modern boy who is dressed up. He asks Jaya to go on a trip together. Led by Baek Seok, Jaya goes back to her hometown. They are a young and beautiful couple again, just like in the past. 
In his hometown, Baek Seok asks Ran to marry him but she refuses. A friend take Baek to gisaengs’ house and there, he meets a lovely young gisaeng called Jaya. He falls in love with her instantly and marries her. But life is hard so Baek Seok leaves home to make money and waiting for him, Jaya starts working as a gisaeng again. Baek Seok want to go back to Jaya but the Korean Peninsula is divided so he can’t see her again. He has searched for Jaya but it is all just a fanstasy. Baek Seok never comes back. Jaya, who has become an old lady, donates a building called Daewongak, which is worth 100 billion won, to Buddhist monk Beopjeong. The building the becomes today’s Buddhist temple Gilsangsa. As Jaya, an old lay, dozes off in front of the temple, Baek Seok, a young man in a blue suit, appears and recites his poem "Me, Natasha and the White Donkey" which was unfinished. 
This is a story of a woman who devoted her entirelife to a poet, saying, "If a poet loves a lowly woman like me and make me Natasha, I’m ready to live that way." It is also a story of the poet Baek Seok who lives in her memories.
