Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

In the 1980's and along Chungmuro in Seoul, a street that serves as the hub of the Korean film industry, Jeong Hee-Ran (Lee Ha-Nee) reigns as the top actress in the country. She has a fiery temper, which allows her to go off on anyone and speak out whenever she senses something is wrong. She is then cast for the lead role in movie "Madame Aema," that will be made by Ku Jung-Ho’s (Jin Sun-Kyu) production company. Ku Jung-Ho is the type of person who will do anything to survive in the film industry. He faces a situation where he can't control Jeong Hee-Ran and decides to kick her out of the movie. He then holds a big scale auction and selects Shin Ju-Ae (Bang Hyo-Rin) to play the lead role. Shin Ju-Ae wants to become an actress, but she currently works as a nightclub dancer. Jeong Hee-Ran is extremely peeved at the current situation. Meanwhile, Kwak In-U (Cho Hyun-Chul) is a rookie director who is full of dreams, but feeble in temperament. He will direct his first film with movie "Madame Aema."

Hi Feb 04 2026 9:51 am I've been watching this several times and still have the same thought : Hwang Mina character deserves justice. She wouldn't die if she met the right person who could guide her in protecting her dignity, like Jeong Heeran who protected Shin Juae's dignity

Dawn Jan 23 2026 5:38 am I really like this kdrama, it has a unique style, but what's bothering me is the fact that the ending synth pop sound is not available to listen, I loved it.

sweet Sep 08 2025 9:57 am this drama shows that woman is always the victim in this industry and always gets sexualised (i think in every where too). lee ha nee plays such a great character, and min hyo rin is a new actress (i guess) but she is great in this drama. the plot of the drama is sooo gooodd, bcz it shows how woman stand up/protect other woman. maybe this drama is showing feminism?but it doesn’t mean we don’t need help from others, in this drama shows there is someone like hee-ran’s manager that is always protecting we as a women. that’s just what i think, overall it’s a very great and interesting drama <3

0l Sep 04 2025 9:18 am The men in this drama except Hee-ran's manager and the rookie director are trash. As a man myself I despise those people who exploits women and sell them like they are a kind commodities. I feel bad for actresses on that era who must live under the mercy of trashy men portrayed in this series

Ugh Sep 04 2025 9:10 am Hwang Mina's character is so annoying but when she dead I literally cried. Unlike Juae, Mina never meets any person that could guide and protect her from the dark world of entertainment industry

Her death reminds of the actress who played as a bully in BoF. Despite did everything that she was asked even having sexual relations with her CEO she never git any chance to hit big instead she was asked to play as a bully for a mere screen time

The entertainment's elites are so trashy !

NeilWH Aug 27 2025 3:26 am Excellent acting by both FLs! Overall cast and production make the series worth watching. Definitely a mature theme that in some spots is Hollywood/Weinstein creepy. Anyone know how closely this version of MA follows the 1982 version?

Aaaaa Aug 25 2025 8:29 am Lee Honey's character literally Speaks like how women in the 80s spoke. Once she owns the character, no one could play her characters better than her. Jin Sunkyu literally went from the cute Detective Ma in Extreme Job to the creepiest predator in this drama

Herday Aug 24 2025 9:39 pm Can't believe the director is sanchez from hotel del luna...he looks so different

Rosalie Aug 24 2025 1:41 pm Outstanding from start to finish.

Lalala Aug 24 2025 7:58 am Jin Seonkyu went from a clumsy detective into a despicable creepy producer who acts like a hyena toward women. I need to watch Extreme Job after this

Jjang!! Aug 24 2025 7:35 am Jeong Heeran seemed "hating" The new actress not because of her fear being replaced. She wanted to protect her from the ruthless predators within the industry.

Nyneey Aug 23 2025 5:03 am Lee Ha Nee very very beautiful in this drama. Story is OK because it has some Korean historical and political l, I can't not much understand, I'm not Korean. But the main point of this drama still Good.

Otome Aug 22 2025 2:21 pm This is an interesting series, but it contains mature themes, so if you find this content offensive, it may not be suitable for you. It definitely portrays the reality of the entertainment industry as messed up as it is. I liked it.

Hi Aug 22 2025 10:14 am Queen Lee Honey is back, to secure more awards for her only.

Faith Aug 11 2025 5:44 pm Honey Lee is not complete without her fiery temper I love her so much Can't wait to see her again

DimWed Aug 08 2025 7:08 am Lee Ha Nee, I trust her works at all costs.

Ashtel Aug 06 2025 9:29 am So excited for Lee Honey in this new series! I know it will be a great series this August.

AiwaLu Jul 23 2025 7:36 pm Just saw the trailer on NF Youtube. As per YT, it will be coming on August 22. Hope they will post all the episodes at once. It will be good since its Lee Hanee hahahahahahha
