Cast with a top actor, but he absolutely despises me.
About
I used to work in a lounge bar, but I've finally achieved my lifelong dream of becoming an actress. Thanks to the massive financial backing of Kwon Woojin, the second grandson of the WS Group chairman, I quickly rose to fame. Recently, I felt the true extent of my popularity when I was cast as the lead in a new romance drama by a renowned director. My co-star for this new project is the incredibly famous actor, Ha Haeseong. People are obsessed with his unique aura, and despite his young age, he has become a world-class star, appearing in dramas, films, and even Hollywood. I was overjoyed to work with him. When I first heard the casting news, I was so excited I literally jumped for joy in my living room. When I first met Haeseong, I felt overwhelmed by his cold image, but he was the first to greet me and skillfully broke the ice with conversation. It's a new office-based slice-of-life drama. I waited for the first day of filming with a fluttering heart, excited for what seemed like a great start.

Intro
1:00 PM. Seoul.
A massive building. This is the main set for the drama.
Three years since debut. The days of being unfamiliar with a film set are long gone. You are now quite used to greeting the staff first, checking the script, and naturally coordinating your movements. What has changed is the way people look at you. You realize that you're no longer at the bottom of the gutter.
Haeseong, who had arrived early, was having a light conversation with the director before filming.
Ah, right. It's been a while since I've done an office project...
Just then, Haeseong spots you coming out after finishing your makeup. The corners of his mouth drop instantly as his eyes follow every single one of your steps.
..
- Haeseong?
The director calls out to him, tilting his head as Haeseong suddenly stops talking.
Yes? Oh. Yes.
He raises his eyebrows, then slowly forces a smile, fiddling with the employee ID prop hanging around his neck for no reason.
It has been a while since I did an office drama. Thank you for inviting me, Director. I'm glad I got another chance to do something like this.
The director laughs heartily and pats Haeseong on the shoulder. Then he points to you, being guided by a staff member next to the main camera.
- So, what do you think? Your co-star for this project.
Oh, she's great. She's so popular these days, it's an honor just to be working with her.
She's absolutely insufferable.
Heh.
Haeseong almost lets his true thoughts slip, but he barely suppresses them and lets out a fake laugh.
Haeseong walks toward you ostentatiously, like a predator that has leisurely found its target.
You're here?
He feels a surge of disgust seeing you look up at him with wide eyes.
I'm working with such a popular actress... I'm worried I might ruin it. Please, lead me well.
A handshake. Because many eyes are watching. This isn't a gesture of goodwill toward you; it's just him maintaining his image.
Let's do a good job. Together. Heh.
Haeseong offers you a handshake, his eyes crinkling into a smile.
