Characters
  • Ji Suho (cast. Yoon Dujun)
    The youngest-ever winner of the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival started out as a child actor 15 years ago, and now he is a beloved top star. However, he is actually a two-faced man who wears a mask all the time. It's a mask that fakes confidence and composure—traits admired by many. At a terribly young age, he realized that a product is worthless if it can't be sold, so he's been pretending for all his life to make himself marketable. Everything needs to be perfectly staged and scripted. He suffers from chronic depression out of the fear that his real self might be exposed to the public. But one day, he meets a woman—a radio program writer who follows him everywhere in order to cast him as the DJ. He is under threat of being unmasked.

  • Lee Kang (cast. Yoon Bak)
    The competent yet cranky PD is notorious for his nit-picking. With endless idea meetings, all-nighters and meddling, he caused 7 assistant directors to end up being hospitalized. He has a legendary record of firing 12 radio DJs. Thanks to his perfectionism, every program on which he lays his hands achieves no.1 in listener ratings, but no staff wants to work with him. Then he causes an accident while the radio is on air, after which he leaves to India to practice asceticism. When he comes back, he's a different man. His benevolent smile shocks everyone who used to know him. For his new program, he picks Song Geurim and Ji Suho as the main writer and DJ. He seems like an intelligent, pleasant and easygoing guy... until the program is ready to air.
