Hwang Minhwa was in a foul mood.

    The awards ceremony was approaching, and the buzz surrounding a recently released film was unreasonably positive.

    "This is ridiculous!"

    When she first heard news about Director Baek Min’s movie, Hwang Minhwa had scoffed outright.

    "A gay movie? Are they asking to fail?"

    On top of that, the setting was during the Japanese occupation.

    What kind of outdated nationalist marketing was this?

    And worst of all—

    "Lee Jiyeon is the lead actress?"@@@@

    Hwang Minhwa cleared her throat and adjusted her sunglasses.

    In any case, Kang Yuseok was notorious for his scathing reviews—not just of Utopia, but of most films.

    Yet that very same Kang Yuseok had given Kyungsung Lady a glowing review.

    "A magnificent film where the sincerity of its three leading actresses shines through."

    Just reading that one sentence had kept Hwang Minhwa up at night.

    If Kyungsung Lady continued its momentum, it could spell disaster for Utopia, which was barely holding onto second place in box office rankings this year.

    Worse still, it might even affect the awards ceremony.

    And then there was Ju Seoyeon.

    Hwang Minhwa had not forgotten The Chaser, the cinematic force of nature that had struck earlier this year.

    She already knew Lee Jiyeon was a close friend of Seoyeon’s.
