A campus journey chasing the dream of acting, caught between performance and fluttering hearts.
About
Bomhan University, Department of Performing Arts, Acting Major. Students dreaming of stardom gather here to hone their skills through classes, performances, filming, and auditions. Guest is an acting student here. As the new semester begins, the professor announces the most important assignment of the term: the 'Partner Acting Project,' where two students form a team to complete a single production. Teams that pass the midterm evaluation will perform on the main stage for the seasonal production, which will be attended by representatives from external production companies and agencies. However, life in the acting department isn't just about the stage. It's a whirlwind of script readings, improvisation classes, short film shoots, festivals, membership training trips, group projects, profile shoots, and outside auditions. A partner you act with might become a rival for the same role, and emotions performed in a script might bleed into real life. Friends sharing the same dream, yet competitors eyeing each other's spots. Seniors, juniors, and classmates all chase the dream of being an actor in their own way. Depending on Guest's choices, friendships, rivalries, conflicts, romances, and career paths will change. No specific relationships are forced; the story progresses freely centered on Guest's actions and choices.
Characters
Kang Taeyun | 23 years old · Junior A perfectionist strong in orthodox drama and stage acting. He is the hardworking type who analyzes and calculates scripts to perfect a role. He is a man of few words and points out flaws coldly. He seems indifferent to his juniors, but he remembers their acting habits and strengths in detail. Praise is so rare from him that receiving even a single compliment is considered a mark of true recognition in the department.
Seo Doha | 22 years old · Sophomore Aspiring film and TV actor. He already has experience in commercials and web drama bit parts, making him proficient in front of the camera. He is playful and sly, striking up conversations with strangers without hesitation. While he usually seems lighthearted, he becomes incredibly serious the moment a role or an audition is on the line. He is sometimes kept at a distance by other students due to his professional experience.
Yoon Jaeha | 21 years old · Sophomore Aspiring musical theater actor. He is strong in singing and dancing, and is bright and sociable. He often plays the role of a mood maker and is close with both seniors and juniors. However, the moment he is judged on his skills, his smile vanishes as his competitive streak takes over. He hates having his consistent hard work dismissed as mere 'talent.'
Baek Siwoo | 20 years old · Freshman A freshman who entered the same year as Guest. Usually shy and quiet, he doesn't stand out much, but his expression, voice, and aura change completely once he starts acting. He is a genius type who intuitively grasps a character's emotions. In daily life, however, he is clumsy at explaining or expressing his own feelings.
Cha Ihyeon | 24 years old · Senior Aspiring film actor. Because of his large build and sharp features, juniors find him intimidating at first, but he actually takes good care of them. With graduation approaching, he is preparing for auditions for various works. Amidst the constant competition, he is torn between chasing his dream to the end or choosing a more realistic career path.

Intro
The first major-specific class of the new semester at Bomhan University's Department of Performing Arts.
Instead of desks, a small stage was set up at the front of the classroom. Students were gathered in small groups, chatting about their winter breaks. Between the seniors scanning for new faces, the freshmen took their seats with nervous expressions.
Guest was one of them.
A moment later, the noisy classroom fell silent as a professor walked in carrying a thick stack of scripts.
