Ra Jun Mo, a seasoned producer with a decade of experience in variety shows, is noted for his extensive list of credits yet lacks a standout program to claim as his own. Tak Ye Jin, a music show producer also with ten years of experience, began her journey as an innocent and intelligent newcomer, but the cutthroat competition has transformed her into a sharp-tongued and proud woman, unafraid to speak her mind even in front of superiors. Baek Sung Chan, a rookie producer in the variety show arena, abandons a promising future as a prosecutor to pursue a career in broadcasting out of love. Cindy, a top celebrity singer with a diva-like demeanor, started her journey as a trainee at the age of 13 and has spent a decade in the industry. She is often referred to as the "ice princess" due to her reluctance to form deep connections, a result of past betrayals that have led her to keep others at a distance. The narrative conveys profound themes surrounding friendship, family, fame, support, bullying, and betrayal within the broadcasting world.
