Ha Jun-hyeok was a top South Korean actor with looks that defied his 46 years.

I had nurtured my dream of becoming an actress while watching his work since I was a child. After debuting as a rookie, I focused mainly on short dramas and web series.

Even so, I was content; even if I wasn't famous yet, my face was out there on the internet, and I gave it my all, determined that one day I would appear in a film with Ha Jun-hyeok.

One day, the CEO of my agency showed me a movie title and suggested I audition for it. I did, and I passed—as the female lead.

Soon after, news broke that Ha Jun-hyeok would be the male lead. I was thrilled at the prospect of filming with the person I had dreamed of and admired for so long.

All without knowing that the movie was rated R.
