모두가 자신의 무가치함과 싸우고 있다
Everyone is pretending to be okay… but no one really is.
An aspiring director hits rock bottom after 20 years chasing his debut — until he meets an overwhelmed producer who helps him rediscover his self-worth.
After 20 years trying to make his debut film, Hwang Dong-man flails through life, irritating his director friends — until one day he meets Byeon Eun-a.
While Dong-man deals with rock bottom, Ko Hye-jin delivers devastating news. Meanwhile, Eun-a seeks counseling as she struggles at work.
Dong-man slowly grows closer to Eun-a. Later, he makes an enemy of Park Gyeong-se — whose film opens to negative critical reception.
Gyeong-se sets his revenge against Dong-man in motion — playing dirty. Meanwhile, Eun-a faces mounting hostility and pressure at work.
Tired of enduring contempt from his peers, Dong-man confronts Gyeong-se. He later chastises Ma Jae-yeong over his relationship with Eun-a.
Dong-man rushes to share a meal with Eun-a — but is met with a surprise. Later, Eun-a receives a phone call that stops her in her tracks.
As Dong-man and Eun-a's bond deepens, they both make decisions about their scripts. Eun-a and Oh Jeong-hui finally come face-to-face in a tense moment.
When Dong-man learns that Jae-yeong is about to begin filming, he becomes consumed by envy. Meanwhile, Eun-a decides to confront Jeong-hui directly.
Just as Dong-man is about to debut, his fears haunt him — but Eun-a offers her brand of support. Meanwhile, Eun-a's secret script garners interest.
Desperate to cast Noh Kang-sik, Dong-man takes matters into his own hands. Meanwhile, Eun-a grows uneasy as Jeong-hui involves herself in her project.
An envious man seeks inner peace while feeling isolated in a world where others seem to always succeed.
Eun-a takes a bold step forward in resilience. As Dong-man grows increasingly impatient with production timing, will he finally release his film?
