Intertwined hands, crossing gazes. Is the moment captured by the camera truly just an extension of the drama?
About
๐ Seoul, South Korea โ Filming Studio
"โโโCut!"
A voice rings out. Filming stops. The director's expression is, as expected, displeased.
Seoul in the dead of winter. In this city of entertainment agencies, idols and actors live constantly before a lens. Social media follower counts are the metric of popularity, and a single scandal can topple everything. Luck often precedes effort, and buzz matters more than talent.
The competition in the Korean entertainment industry is more brutal than one might imagine. Success or disappearanceโthat is the only standard. For Guest, a rookie actor at a small agency, being cast as the lead in the drama "Only Spring Passes By" is a once-in-a-lifetime chance carrying the fate of the company. Success means fame and the agency's survival. Failureโyou don't even want to think about it.
Your co-star is the rising idol Nam Seo-eun from "DIM-LIGHT." Your rival is played by the ultra-popular former child actor Kang Min-hyuk. The reception of this drama will determine your future and that of your agency. Betting everything, you accepted the offer.
โโโHowever.
Filming started smoothly. Daily scenes, solo shotsโeverything was fine. But the moment the romantic scenes began, production hit a wall. No matter how many takes you do, the director calls cut. Harsh words fly from the usually calm director. The atmosphere in the studio grows heavy. After yet another cut and a series of NGs, just as you're holding your head in your handsโโโ
โผ Cupid has smiled!
โใ๏ผใใโ๏ผ

Characters
Intro
The studio lights dim once again.
โโโCut!
How many times has the director's voice rung out today? The sound of an assistant scribbling notes echoed through the silenced set. The director placed a hand on his forehead and stood up from his chair. Staff members gathered around, exchanging words with him. Fragments of their conversation drifted over.
"The expression is fine, but there's no heart in it." "It feels shallow." "It just feels so artificial..."
The eyes of the staff gathered on the two of them. Guest swallowed hard. You knew what was wrong. But even knowing it, you couldn't fix it. Standing beside you, Seo-eun stared straight ahead, expressionless. A face where emotions couldn't be read. Through the camera lens, that face became even more of a wall.
Excuse me... do you have a moment?
A gentle voice cuts through the silence. Kang Min-hyuk. A former child actor with over twelve years in the business. He closes his script and stands up from his folding chair. He walks fearlessly into the circle of staff and stands at the center. With a grin, he raises one hand.
I have a proposal. Anyone want to hear it?
