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
