00:00G-Drama TV and Entertainment presents a web-thriller series, something about number three.
00:30Sean, in his mid-30s and the head of security for the mall's event of the day, chats with Victoria on the central ground floor where the venue will be held.
00:41Victoria is the trusted right hand of Sun Rivas, the president and CEO of TS Entertainment.
00:48Victoria, in her late 40s, sports a well-groomed, short hairstyle and a polished, uptight look.
00:57Sean, on the other hand, is dressed in a black suit with a white undershirt.
01:03All areas are covered including the entrance and exits.
01:08Victoria scans the area, noticing security guards in black suits standing by at all corners.
01:15I have my men on the second and third floors, just in case.
01:20Victoria looks up at the upper floors, spotting another group of security guards on duty.
01:26Great! Good job!
01:35Posters of Min's movie are displayed throughout the mall.
01:38The stage is set up with chairs for the MC and guests.
01:43The audience is allowed to come no closer than a meter from the stage to maintain a safe distance from excited fans.
01:52The fans are starting to gather around.
01:56The media covering the event have set up as well.
02:05Sun Rivas, in his late 40s, is sitting on the couch with Barry Phillips, a dashingly handsome gentleman in his late 20s.
02:14The two are enjoying glasses of wine in Sun's office.
02:19Thank you for partnering with us.
02:21My pleasure.
02:23But really, thank you for trusting me as well.
02:26You are a good businessman, Barry.
02:29I like working with people who mean business.
02:32If you need anything, just tell me.
02:35I can give you anything you want.
02:38Barry smirks, then sips his glass of wine.
02:44Sun flashes a mischievous smile.
02:48He draws Barry's attention to the 62-inch flat-screen TV in front of them,
02:53which shows the ongoing mall show where Min and her co-stars are promoting their movie.
02:59Min is being interviewed by the MC.
03:02Barry fixes his gaze on her.
03:06Sun watches him, gauging his interest.
03:09At the mall show, Min and her five co-stars are seated in the chairs prepared for them on stage.
03:25A large crowd of fans fills the area, holding Min's posters, light sticks, and even a large banner with her name on it.
03:34She radiates beauty, poise, and elegance.
03:39Everyone seems captivated by her, even her co-stars.
03:44The male MC interviews her.
03:47Min, this movie has a lot of potential to be a bigot.
03:51I mean, look at these people right here.
03:54The crowd erupts in loud cheers.
03:58The host continues and asks,
04:01You haven't had a flop movie since your big break.
04:04How do you keep your success going?
04:06Thank you. I hope you won't jinx it.
04:10Everybody laughs.
04:12I don't know, really.
04:14TS has been instrumental to my career from the get-go.
04:18They made it possible for me.
04:20And I'm just thankful for the fans for their constant support.
04:23The fans are cheering for her.
04:27Do you watch your own projects?
04:30I've heard that some actors cringe when they watch themselves.
04:34At first I did, but I had to watch myself to improve.
04:37It's like dancing. To perfect a move, you have to watch yourself in the mirror.
04:44You need to see and feel the movements and expressions that look best.
04:49Whoa, you're definitely a pro. And you're only in your third year.
04:53Well, thank you. TS has a way of building their stars from day one.
04:59I don't know how they do it with the number of projects we're getting, but I still have a long way to go.
05:05You sure do. And how is it working with the new star? This is Ville's first movie.
05:10The fans are cheering loudly for Ville, an up-and-coming star in her mid-twenties.
05:17She smiles from ear to ear, waving to the crowd.
05:23For beauty she is. She is a rising star.
05:27She is. She did great in the movie.
05:31Obviously, the fans love her, which is a huge help in promoting the film.
05:36She has a lot of potential. I believe her big break is just around the corner.
05:42Some really kind words from Min. Any response to that, Ville?
05:46I'm ecstatic and speechless at the same time.
05:50Thank you for those kind words.
05:53Ville turns to Min, who nods at her.
05:56I will continue to work hard to entertain the fans with great projects.
06:00The fans cheer for her again.
06:02Min walks through the lobby of TS Entertainment and runs into Victoria and Ville.
06:15Min.
06:17Victoria's phone rings.
06:19One moment, I have to take this call.
06:22Victoria leaves Ville with Min, answering her phone.
06:26Ville greets Min with a nod.
06:28Hi, it's okay. You can talk to me no need to be formal.
06:34It was great working with you.
06:37I'm sorry, I can't help it, but you're such a big star.
06:42You bet I am.
06:44Ville's smile fades, not expecting such a bold response from Min.
06:49Good for her. Min is looking at the walkway ahead of them.
06:52You'll be one too. Just keep doing your best.
06:57Thank you for those nice words you said back there.
07:01That? No biggie. You're under Victoria's wing.
07:05She was with me when I started.
07:08TS knows a star's potential. They obviously see it in you.
07:12Really? That's a relief. I need a job. I have to support my sister.
07:19You're a breadwinner?
07:21We were orphaned at a young age.
07:24I was working part-time at a grocery store when an agent from TS recruited me.
07:29I really need this job.
07:31Min looks surprised to hear part of Ville's life story.
07:34Victoria returns and calls Min out.
07:39Min, the president would like you to drop by his office.
07:43Again? He always does that.
07:46We'll go ahead.
07:48Victoria and Ville leave Min behind.
07:51Min watches them leave.
07:54She's the breadwinner, and she seems naive.
07:58She shakes her head, feeling pity for Ville.
08:04Min approaches Sun's office and sees Sun and Barry on their feet, exchanging handshakes.
08:12She pauses.
08:14Who could this perverted client be?
08:17Sun's door opens, and Min sees it.
08:20She moves forward.
08:23Sun and Barry emerge from the office.
08:26Min greets them.
08:29Good afternoon, gentlemen.
08:31The gentlemen turn to her.
08:34Barry's eyes are fixed on her, his jaw dropping.
08:38Min's attention is on Sun.
08:41Victoria said you were looking for me.
08:44Yeah.
08:46I'm just walking my guest out.
08:48Min turns to Barry, faking a smile.
08:51He's six feet zero inches, so she has to look up at him.
08:55He has a fair complexion for a guy, thick eyebrows, and a strikingly handsome face.
09:04Min almost falls for it, staring at his gorgeous face.
09:09But she quickly gathers herself.
09:10In her mind, she thinks.
09:11Pervert, what a waste.
09:12This is Barry Phillips.
09:13He's a very important client.
09:14Is he?
09:15She extends her hand for a handshake.
09:16It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Phillips.
09:18You can call me Min, but you probably know me already.
09:20Barry shakes her hand.
09:21Pleased to meet you.
09:22Sun hasn't talked much about you.
09:23Oh, I meant from the billboards.
09:24She pulls her hand away from his.
09:25Barry gets tongue-tied.
09:26Sun interjects with an awkward voice.
09:27It's a very important client.
09:28The other one is, Mr. Phillips.
09:29Is he?
09:30She extends her hand for a handshake.
09:31It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Phillips.
09:32You can call me Min, but you probably know me already.
09:37Barry shakes her hand.
09:39Pleased to meet you.
09:40Sun hasn't talked much about you.
09:43Oh, I meant from the billboards.
09:46She pulls her hand away from his.
09:49Barry gets tongue-tied.
09:51Sun interjects with an awkward laugh.
09:54Barry chuckles along.
09:56Min grins at him.
09:58This is actually how witty Min is in person.
10:03I like that.
10:04A girl with a sense of humor.
10:06He smirks at her, and her grin fades.
10:10Should I walk him out of the building?
10:12No need.
10:13I can find my way out.
10:15Sure you do.
10:16Thanks for dropping by.
10:19Barry nods at the two of them and walks away.
10:23Sun walks back to his office.
10:26Min watches Barry leave, then heads into the office.
10:38Sun sits at his desk as Min walks across the room.
10:41Good job today.
10:44What did I do?
10:45Uh, Bill.
10:47Yeah, of course.
10:49She's next in line, isn't she?
10:52She sits on the couch.
10:54You're only in your third year, so I'm not rushing.
10:58It's just for insurance.
11:01You know how the business works.
11:03You bet.
11:04It's all about the money.
11:07Sun smiles delightfully, sipping his glass of wine.
11:12Min stares at him with a look of disgust on her face.
11:16It's late in the evening, and Bill is finishing up her shoot at an outdoor location.
11:30Her road manager, Chelsea, in her late twenties, accompanies her to the van.
11:36She says goodbye to everyone on set.
11:41Chelsea opens the van door.
11:44Bill gets in, and Chelsea follows suit.
11:48Tonight is a premiere of the first episode.
11:51Was it tonight?
11:53Yeah.
11:55I've been so busy today that I forgot about it.
11:58Bill's phone rings, and she answers it.
12:01Hello?
12:02She listens to the other line.
12:05Really?
12:07Wow.
12:09She seems ecstatic.
12:11Chelsea, watching her, appears to anticipate good news.
12:19She passes the phone to Chelsea.
12:21It's Victoria.
12:23She wants to talk to you.
12:25Chelsea takes the call.
12:28Yes, ma'am.
12:29She listens to the call on the other end.
12:33What?
12:34Whoa.
12:36Okay, I'll arrange your schedule.
12:38Yes, got it.
12:40Chelsea ends the call and hands the phone back to Bill.
12:43Both girls scream in excitement.
12:47Congratulations.
12:51The hard work and sleepless nights are finally starting to pay off.
12:55I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's going to be a rough week ahead.
13:00What do you mean?
13:02You have one whole week to promote your drama.
13:05But I'm shooting the last episode next week.
13:08That's what I'm talking about.
13:10It's going to be hectic starting next week.
13:13You'll have TV appearances, mall shows, interviews, and endorsement meetings in the following weeks.
13:18Sounds like a lot of work.
13:20You are about to hit your big break.
13:24Welcome to your new world.
13:26But I have to go home the week after next.
13:29It's already been settled.
13:31Good luck with that.
13:33TS won't keep you hidden from the public eye.
13:35Then I'll have to talk to Victoria about it.
13:38It's just for a few days.
13:40Victoria will probably let you, since it's already been agreed upon.
13:44But you realize you won't be going alone.
13:48Chelsea, please, this is the last time.
13:51They won't let you, especially now.
13:53I can take care of myself.
13:55I just need to see my sister.
13:57TS won't let you go alone.
14:00That's how things work here.
14:02Unless you're as big as men.
14:04TS, not you.
14:06Bill.
14:07No.
14:08But this is the last time, I promise.
14:10I just need some privacy to be with my sister, please.
14:15Okay.
14:16I'll take care of it.
14:18Yes.
14:19Bill hugs Chelsea.
14:21But call me if something comes up.
14:23I'll be fine.
14:25People won't even notice.
14:27That face won't go unnoticed.
14:29Good luck with that.
14:31Bill is happy that she'll finally be able to see her sister after several months.
14:36She's so excited just thinking about it.
14:39It's been four months since they last saw each other.
14:43Bill was busy filming the movie that starred Min,
14:46and then she started shooting her first drama in a lead role.
14:49Min slips into a room, wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a baseball hat.
15:02The room is occupied by three people.
15:06Jenny, 34, lying on the bed with an intravenous fluid attached to her right arm.
15:12Brian, 36, checking the intravenous fluid.
15:15And Alex, 27, sitting at the bedside.
15:20They all turn to Min.
15:23What are you doing here?
15:26I called her up.
15:28Min takes her hat off and paces towards the bed.
15:32Don't worry, I made sure nobody followed.
15:35I left my car at the hotel where I met with a client,
15:38so they should think I'm still there.
15:40Your place is safe.
15:42Brian seems worried.
15:43Alex couldn't care less.
15:46Meanwhile, Jenny lies sick in bed.
15:47rerie is sick in bed.
15:48.
15:53.
15:54.
16:01.
16:06.
16:07.
