    Synopsis:

    The narrative centers on Hagiwara Mio, a rising star in television acting whose carefully constructed public image is challenged by an unexpected encounter. During a filming session, she meets Ichiya Kumagai, a director known for his unconventional perspective and blunt criticism of her performance. Though initially stung, Mio finds herself increasingly preoccupied by his words and enigmatic presence.

    Ichiya, having recently achieved recognition with a successful music video for a fellow performer, proposes casting Mio in his upcoming film. He sees in her a resemblance to classic actresses – a striking quality that captivates him. The series explores the complexities of artistic vision, self-perception, and the blurring lines between professional mentorship and personal feelings as Mio navigates this unconventional dynamic and grapples with her evolving emotions toward Ichiya. It offers a quiet, character-driven exploration of ambition and identity within the entertainment industry.
