Synopsis
Set backstage in the entertainment division of a television network, the drama follows the working lives of four people who make its programmes.
Baek Seung Chan joins KBS as a rookie PD — he had meant to be a prosecutor, and changed course over a secret crush on a colleague. Tak Ye Jin is a ten-year veteran producing the music show Music Bank: smart, haughty, and never one to hold back what she thinks. Ra Joon Mo has an equally long list of variety credits but not one masterpiece to call his own. Cindy is a star who debuted as a trainee at thirteen, nicknamed the "ice princess" for her poker face and her grip on her own emotions.
Along the way the series has things to say about friendship, family, fame, bullying and betrayal in the broadcasting business.
