[Machine Translation] Beau Brummel: The Man Who Was Too Beautiful" : The end of the 18th century. At the end of the 18th century, Beau Brummel suddenly appeared in the society of England, where the class society still remains strong. With his refined aesthetics and excellent sense of fashion, Brummel quickly attracted the attention of the social circle and became the talk of the town among the aristocrats. One evening at an evening party hosted by the Duchess of Devonshire, the Prince was attracted by Brammel's exceptional good looks, his aesthetics, his mannerisms that could be described as arrogant, and his unprecedented new sense of style. Prince is completely captivated by Brammel and introduces his mistress, actress Harriet Robinson, whom he considers his favorite "beauty. Prince urges Harriet to take his confused hand and start dancing... but they have a big secret. Beau Brummel" ... the real name of the man who appeared on the social scene with his strong personality is "George Bryan Brummel" ... George's father, who had the good fortune to know the life of the upper class beyond the "wall" that commoners can never cross, developed an obsession with the "upper class". This obsession with the "upper class" eventually became a curse that consumed the father and son and tormented George from an early age. George attends the prestigious Oxford University, but he does not fit in with the aristocratic, highbrow crowd, and finds himself in a seedy, backstreet playhouse. It was there that George met Harriet Robinson, an up-and-coming actress, and the two eventually fell in love. However, after the death of his father and with his inheritance in front of him, Brammel's twisted ambition awakens in him the belief that the success in the upper class that his father could never achieve is revenge for his father who still torments him. He decides to play the role of "Beau Brummel," a man who has abandoned his downtown past, his true self, and the women he loved to rise to the top of the social world with his good looks and sense of style. Harriet, under Prince's patronage, becomes a successful actress. But, they are both full of falsehoods... After an unexpected reunion, they realize that in this aristocratic society, they can return to their true selves, which they would have abandoned if they were in each other's presence. As they meet again and again under Prince's watchful eye, their smoldering feelings are rekindled. Prayer" is a fantastic and festive show that prays for people's happiness.
