A sense of unease permeated the Kyungsung Lady film crew as they prepared for an overseas shoot.

    Particularly among the actors, who were carefully observing each other.

    Some of them couldn’t help but glance toward actor Lee Sang-soo.@@@@

    It was inevitable.

    An actor who had failed once overseas.

    In contrast, here on set was the youngest recipient of the Berlin International Film Festival’s Best Actor award.

    Stella Baldwin.

    A smiling, golden-haired girl.

    Her white dress and sapphire-blue eyes made her look like a fleeting blossom.

    "She feels like one of those people with a rotten core."

    "Agreed. I had high expectations after seeing her movies, but..."

    Jo Seohui clicked her tongue as she watched Stella greet the staff at the airport.

    For someone like Seohui, who was acquainted with heirs from other conglomerates, Stella’s behavior felt all too familiar.

    Smiling on the outside while harboring several metaphorical serpents inside.

    For Seohui, who had imagined Stella as an innocent angel, her impression now felt distinctly unsettling.

    "Ju Seoyeon, she understands Korean, doesn’t she?"

    "Yeah, she does. How did you figure that out?"

    Was it from that little slip earlier?

    If so, Jiyeon had sharp instincts.

    "If she didn’t, there’s no way you’d have been able to talk to someone that shady."

    "...I can speak English too, you know."

    "Yeah? What grade did you get in English?"

    "...."

    The harsh reality of measuring everything by grades was as cruel as ever.

    Seoyeon couldn’t help but lament inwardly.

    Wasn’t it enough to just speak Korean well?

    She’d never really been interested in English, even in her past life.
