Description

A life in the spotlight is a dream for many…but it’s behind the scenes where the real drama takes place. Baek Yeongwoon plays manager for Seo Hae-yool, an up-and-coming actor at All One Pictures with a secret: his success is fuelled by an industry “sponsor” who loves more than just his talent. So when a love affair between the young star and a mysterious figure threatens the livelihood of their company, it is up to Yeongwoon to track his client down and put an end to their risky romp. But the truth may be too much for him to bear, as the other party turns out to be top model - and Yeongwoon’s first love - Han Seo-in. As Yeongwoon struggles to reconcile his unresolved feelings for Seo-in with his sense of duty toward his work, the two fall into a intricate web woven of unanswered questions and lingering emotions that changes the trajectory of their lives forever...
