When two actresses from different worlds are cast as the romantic leads in a high-profile series, they must confront old memories, hidden emotions, and unresolved tension. LingLing, an introverted actress who thrives in solitude, and Orm, an extroverted rising star who hides her vulnerability behind a cold exterior, share a complicated history as former acting trainees. Despite their seven-year age gap and vastly different personalities, they once shared a bond that time and distance seemed to erode.
Now, years later, they're cast in the series The Secret of Us-forced to portray a deeply connected couple on screen, even as their off-screen dynamic remains distant and strained. LingLing finds herself drawn to the warm, outgoing Orm she once knew but is confused by the coldness Orm now projects. Orm, overwhelmed by the pressures of stardom and her need for control, keeps everyone at arm's length, especially LingLing.
Maxine Kwong (Lingling), is an ex-model who went back to her hometown after being involved in a scandal, though innocent. Allison Kornnaphat (Orm), is a rookie photographer and a tourist in Maxine's hometown, who is also staying in their beach hostel.
