In a bold move to shift tides in Korea's entertainment landscape, a legendary female director sets out to create the country's first high-profile GL drama. Her lead? Kim Minji - a childhood star turned A-list actress, known for her smirking charm and effortless charisma. Though the media paints her as a player, the truth is far less glamorous: Minji's never even been in a relationship. Despite her reputation, Minji's love life is a blank slate - except for one exception. But with no say in her co-star for the upcoming project, she's resigned to locking lips with whoever the director chooses... even if it's not....her. Her co-star? Pham Hanni - a sharp-tongued, fast-rising actress with a past and something to prove. Fiercely independent and emotionally guarded, Hanni is still navigating the fallout from leaving her privileged life behind to chase a dream her parents never supported. Thrown together under the blinding lights of a groundbreaking drama, the two couldn't seem more opposite. As rehearsals blur into real emotions and staged kisses start to feel less like acting, both women are forced to confront the parts of themselves they've kept hidden. Fame, fear, and falling in love - there's no retake for what happens between takes. Minji G!P

Jennie Kim's life had always been simple. Mornings behind the counter of her aunt's coffee shop, evenings spent buried in medical textbooks, and nights sitting by her father's hospital bed, whispering promises she wasn't sure she could keep. But everything changed the day her father's debts came knocking. Manoban Corp - a name that could silence entire boardrooms - held the chains to her father's failed company. And standing at the head of it all was Lisa Manoban: the cold, untouchable CEO with an empire at her feet and eyes that never betrayed a flicker of mercy. Jennie went to her office expecting rejection, maybe humiliation. She didn't expect an offer. "Be mine," Lisa said simply, as if it were the easiest transaction in the world. "A girlfriend for the cameras. In exchange, your father's debts disappear, and his hospital bills are taken care of." It was supposed to be a deal - insensitive, calculated, a cruel mockery of love. But deals have a way of blurring into something else when the heart becomes collateral. Jennie was smart enough to know better. She was cool enough to hide her trembling. But behind her brave eyes was the truth she could never admit: she was just a girl, soft and fragile, carrying a weight too heavy for her shoulders. And Lisa, who had never known what it meant to love, was about to learn that some exchanges can't be calculated. Because in the world of power and desperation, the only thing more dangerous than debt... was love itself.

✦ LISA MANOBAN Creative Director. Controlled Chaos. The one who left first - or maybe just the one who didn't beg to stay. Black suit. Wristwatch sharp enough to draw blood. Her hair tied back, like she doesn't have time for softness anymore. There's something about Lisa now - more composed, more ruthless, more... unreadable. Because Lisa learned the hard way: love that isn't protected, is taken. And she's not in the business of losing anymore. ✦ JENNIE RUBY JANE Global Brand Ambassador. Perfect Fiancée. The one who stayed - and kept waiting. Jennie knows how to walk into a room and make silence flirt with her. Her love story with Lisa wasn't soft. It was messy. Public, then private, then gone. No closure. Just distance. Just silence. The kind that becomes part of your bloodstream. She tells herself she's over it. That seeing Lisa again doesn't mean anything. But then Lisa walks in - cold, unreadable - And Jennie forgets how to smile without pain in her teeth. Because she never stopped wanting the one person who taught her how to want more.
