Meet Gong Yu Il
Yu Il finds both employment and dating harder than expected. She works part-time jobs while preparing for a career. She lacks standout credentials, but her exceptional writing earns high marks on cover letters.
She also hides a secret. She once wrote the novel Star and Half-Moon, then declared she would stop writing and has lived while concealing her identity as an author. Everything changes when Tak Mu I, whom she meets by chance, discovers her book.
Meet Tak Mu I
He reached the top through his looks, acting ability and tireless effort. Behind the glamour, he suffers anxiety and insomnia from a stalker’s persistent threats. In those hard times, he finds solace in rereading the unfinished Star and Half-Moon. Then he meets Yu Il, who holds the unpublished sequel, and becomes curious about her.
Why This One Stands Out?
- A fan meets his favorite author. Tak Mu I has loved her words for years, without knowing it’s her.
- Wounds, not just sparks. The drama’s key point is two people carrying their own pain and comforting each other.
- A fun twist on roles. Yu Il accidentally becomes his manager, putting the author in his daily life.
