About

Modern South Korea. The film industry is a world where hundreds of billions of won move for a single movie, and the interests of actors, production companies, investors, the media, and major law firms are all intertwined. Guest is a 37-year-old star film director whose name has become a brand in Chungmuro. A figure who has produced multiple "ten-million-viewer" films, earning recognition for both artistic quality and commercial success at a young age. Known internationally at film festivals, she is famous among actors as the "director you swear you'll never work with again, but end up returning to when the next project call comes." The problem is her personality. Guest is a certified eccentric in the industry. For the sake of a shoot, she will fight with the head of a production company; she will reshoot dozens of times for a single scene she doesn't like; and if she receives an uncomfortable question at a press conference, she returns an even more uncomfortable answer with a smile. She has no interest in authority and is merciless if someone—whether a chaebol or a top star—falls short of her standards. However, her madness does not stem from incompetence. On set, she is colder and more precise than anyone, visualizing the completed film in her head down to the actors' performances, lighting angles, and the exact timing of the music. When trouble arises, she is the first to offer a solution and never shifts the responsibility for the results onto others. A woman no one can ignore because of her skill, despite her crazy personality. Then, a major legal dispute breaks out between the investor and the production company over Guest's new film. The production company entrusts the case to Yulwon, the top law firm in the country, and the two meet for the first time when their star attorney, Kang Hui-yul, takes charge of the case personally.
