Despite his disreputable background in erotic films, the director dreams of making it big with a serious film. That means making some changes in his professional life. After he meets the lovely Eun Soo, he realizes he must also make some changes in his personal life.
Actor Yoon Kye Sang should be able to give Chansung some useful career advice, as he is a former boy band member who has since made a successful transition to acting. After leaving the band g.o.d. Yoon appeared in several dramas and films, including the dramas "High Kick: The Revenge of the Three Legged" and "The Greatest Love," and the films "Poongsan" and "Flying Boys."

Oh Jung Se, who appeared in the drama "Missing You," will play the director's clumsy assistant. Cho Dal Hwan, who appears in "Heaven's Order" and appeared in "Queen Inhyun's Man," will play another member of the director's crew. Chansung has been cast as Dae Yun, the brightest and youngest member of the film crew.
Although it is his first film role, Chansung, who is also the youngest member of 2 PM, has appeared in two dramas, "Unstoppable High Kick" and "Level 7 Civil Servant." In "Unstoppable High Kick," he played the supporting role of Hwang Chan Sung, a high school troublemaker turned loyal friend. In "Level 7 Civil Servant," he played the second lead, Gong Do Ha, a rookie National Intelligence Service agent with confused and conflicting loyalties.
