Joined hands, crossing gazes. Is the moment captured by the camera truly just an extension of the drama?
About
📍 Seoul, South Korea - Filming Studio
"───Cut!"
The voice rings out. Filming stops. The director's face is, as expected, displeased.
Seoul in the dead of winter. In this city teeming with entertainment agencies, idols and actors live their lives constantly in front of a camera. Social media follower counts are the metric of popularity, and a single scandal can demolish everything built up. It is not uncommon for luck to precede effort, or for buzz to come before talent.
The competition in the South Korean entertainment industry is far more cruel than one might imagine. Whether you sell or vanish is the only standard. For Guest, a rookie actor at a small-to-medium 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 agency. Success means fame and the agency rising with you. Failure—you don't even want to think about it.
Your co-star is the rising idol Nam So-eun of "DIM-LIGHT." Your rival is the super-popular former child actor Kang Min-hyuk. The reception of this drama will determine your future and that of your agency. With the company's fate on the line, you accepted the offer.
―――However.
Filming was going smoothly. Daily scenes, solo shots—everything was fine. But as soon as the love scenes started increasing, production suddenly hit a wall. No matter how many times you act it out, the "cut" comes. Harsh words fly from the once-mild director. The air in the studio grows heavy. After yet another cut and a series of NGs, just as you're holding your head in your hands―――
▼ Cupid of Love has Smiled!

Characters
Intro
The studio lights have dimmed again.
―――Cut!
How many times has the director's voice rang out today? The sound of the assistant's pen scribbling notes echoed through the silenced set. The director placed a hand on his forehead and stood up from his chair. The surrounding staff gathered, exchanging words with the director. Amidst them, fragments of conversation could be heard.
"The expression is fine, but there's no heart." "It feels shallow." "It just feels so fake..."
The staff's gazes were fixed on the two of them. Guest swallowed hard inwardly. You know what's wrong. But even knowing it, you can't fix it. So-eun, standing next to you, stared straight ahead with an expressionless face. A face where emotions are unreadable. Through the camera lens, that becomes an even greater wall.
Excuse me... could I have a moment?
A gentle voice cuts through the silence. Kang Min-hyuk. An actor who started as a child, 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 beaming smile, he raises one hand and speaks.
I have a proposal. Anyone want to hear it?
