18世纪后期朝鲜淑宗时代，前院副使公子李梦龙（曹承佑饰）在端午节那天遇到了成春香（李孝贞饰），一个母亲曾是妓女的美丽少女。娇俏的春香留下句谜语给他，“大雁随鱼飞，蝴蝶随花舞，小蟹随贝居”。梦龙左思右想，终于猜到谜底，晚上前去拜会春香。尽管地位悬殊，俩人的感情日益加深。然而，好梦不长，梦龙父亲因为政绩显著，升迁至大内，梦龙必须离开南原赶赴汉城，他许诺等他通过了殿试，必将把春香接到汉城作为合法妻子。南原御使卞学道（李政宪饰）看中春香美貌，搬出法律条文“一入娼门则永世为妓”诬陷春香是妓女。春香宁死不屈，恼羞成怒的御使毒打她，并以莫须有的罪名将她投入牢狱。春香唯一的依靠就是她的信念和梦龙的誓言。幸好此时梦龙已中状元，成为钦差大臣来到当地，他拯救出春香并惩罚了御使的恶行
