All that on-screen K-drama chemistry has to go somewhere…
Playing his love interest was supposed to be the hard part…
Han Yumi doesn't believe in mixing work and feelings—but her nervous system didn't get the memo. Landing the lead role opposite Ryu Ji-yong was supposed to be her big break, not the beginning of a situation she has no clean category for.
Ji-yong is one of the biggest names in K-drama, he is unexpectedly warm, funny, and unreasonably easy to be around. She is a rookie actress eating ramyeon on her floor and pretending everything is fine.
Everything is not fine.
When the cameras stop rolling and real life gets messy, Yumi discovers that performing chemistry on screen is considerably easier than figuring out what to do with the real thing—and that the most terrifying scene she'll ever play has no script, no director, and no second takes.
Reader discretion advised: Contains open-door romance and mature themes.
