Synopsis
Supporting actor gets second chance at childhood to pursue acting while rebuilding neglected relationships.
Young-guk Jang has spent years building a successful career as a supporting actor, earning recognition and accolades in the competitive world of entertainment. Yet despite his professional achievements, he finds himself haunted by a deep sense of regret over the relationships he neglected along the way. When a life-altering event forces him to confront the consequences of his choices, Young-guk is given an extraordinary second chance - the opportunity to return to his childhood and start over. Armed with the wisdom of his past experiences and a newfound appreciation for what truly matters, he sets out to pursue his dreams of acting while prioritizing the connections he once took for granted. This is the story of a man who must balance ambition with personal fulfillment, learning that success means nothing without the people who matter most. As Young-guk navigates his second chance at life, he'll discover that the greatest role he can play is that of a son, friend, and ultimately, a person true to himself.
Young-guk Jang, who achieved great success as a supporting actor, received the honorable Best Supporting Actor Award at the Acting Awards for the first time. However, on that day, his mother passed away... Horrified by the death of his mother, whom he neglected for years, Young-guk decided to end his life... Before his death, he longingly recalled the warmth of his mother and the peaceful memories of the past. He regretted turning his back on those memories... At that moment, he suddenly regressed to his childhood... "I regressed, to that past I missed. This time, I will definitely..." Once again, the story of a person who wants to live as an actor begins. Will he be able to live a happy life unlike the previous life?
