Title: CLOSE TO HEART.
In the bustling world of showbiz, where fame and fortune intertwine, there exists a hidden gem named Jeong Eui-hyun. For a decade, he has navigated the treacherous waters of the entertainment industry as a humble and versatile actor, willing to take on any role that comes his way.
On a chilly autumn night, after wrapping up a grueling shoot with his usual grace and no complaints, Eui-hyun has a chance encounter with the global superstar Cha Il Joo.
"Ah, you must be Eui-hyun-ssi, right?"
Cha Il Joo—a top-tier celebrity who has dominated headlines since his debut—has always been a distant figure to Eui-hyun, despite their shared profession. It seemed like a fleeting encounter, nothing more.
"If you're free, care to join me for a drink?"
"I don't waste my time on people I'm not interested in."
Slowly but surely, Cha Il Joo begins to seep into Eui-hyun's world, approaching him with an unparalleled warmth and sincerity.
A revered figure takes a genuine interest in him without any ulterior motives, acknowledging Eui-hyun's long-standing dedication and passion despite his relative obscurity.
"It'll be okay, because I truly have no greed in me."
However, emotions that Eui-hyun never anticipated start to blossom, contradicting his initial resolve.
Surrounded by the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, two souls—one guarded yet longing for familial warmth, the other pure-hearted but vulnerable to unrequited love—find their paths intertwining in unexpected ways.
In a world where facades reign supreme, can Eui-hyun and Cha Il Joo navigate the complexities of their blossoming relationship amidst the harsh spotlight of fame and the shadows of their own insecurities?
