Behind Every Star

This is a gentle drama with some humorous moments, if not laugh out loud funny. Each episode features a well-known Korean actor playing themselves with corresponding storylines covering a range of issues. It explores the problematic world of casting agents and the sometimes, uneasy relationships they have with their clients, exposing hypocrisies and ethically questionable practices.

There are solid performances by the main cast with Kwak Sun-jeong as Chun Jane probably the strongest. Her scenes with Lee Sang-wook (Noh Sang-hyun) have lots of sexual tension and they look really comfortable with each other. The supporting cast act as an effective foil for the main players and one to watch for the future is Choi Yeon-kyu as Choi Won-jae. He didn't have many lines but played his supporting role with great attention to detail and has good screen presence.

Usually, costume design doesn't get much of mention in contemporary dramas but here it worked so well. The costume changes of flamboyant Choi Jin-hyuk (Kim Tae-oh) look amazing, and Chun Jane looked fabulous throughout.

This is definitely light entertainment, but it suits those looking for a relaxed and pleasant experience.
