Synopsis
Actor Han Seojun, 29, abandoned career and love; now ex-lover Seunghyeon reappears, urging him back to stage.
Three years ago, Han Seojun walked away from both the stage and the man he loved. To the public, he was nothing more than "the decent supporting role standing next to actor Choi Seunghyeon." To Seojun, the humiliation of being overshadowed by his partner, and the pain of leaving him behind, was enough to end his career altogether. Now, at 29, Seojun's world is far removed from the spotlight. He waits tables at a bar, scraping by on wages that disappear into debts and the money he dutifully sends to his parents in the countryside. His dreams are long buried, his heart heavier than his empty wallet. And then Seunghyeon appears again. Not as a memory, but in the flesh, standing in Seojun's workplace, urging him to act on stage once more. The man he loved. The career he abandoned. Both return at once, reopening wounds Seojun thought would never bleed again. (Source: Lezhin Entertainment)
