One-Line Verdict
“A drama about the behind-the-scenes story of the film *Madame Aema*, which shook the South Korean film industry in the 1980s.”
Overview
The story follows the chance encounter between Jung Hee-ran (Lee Ha-nee)—a top star facing the end of her career—and Shin Ju-ae (Bang Hyo-rin), an ambitious rookie actress and former tap dancer, on the set of the film *Madame Aema*.
As they navigate the production process alongside figures like studio head Gu Jung-ho (Jin Seon-kyu) and rookie director Kwak In-woo (Jo Hyun-chul), the two actresses initially clash in a struggle for dominance but ultimately forge a bond of solidarity, relying on each other to confront immense power and unjust pressure.
