Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: A story of the struggles and journey of people tormented by envy and jealousy, while trying to find their own peace.

Hwang Dong-Man (Koo Kyo-Hwan) is an aspiring director, who is the only one in the famous film industry group “The Eight” that hasn’t debuted. He tries not to get up caught up in feeling worthless. Byeon Eun-A (Go Youn-Jung) works as a producer for Choi Film. She’s called The Ax due to her sharp screenplay reviews. She hides her anger and fears inside. Park Kyeong-Se (Oh Jung-Se) is a film director. He is particularly swayed and stressed by Hwang Dong-Man, after his recent movie bombed at the box office. Ko Hye-Jin (Kang Mal-Geum) is the CEO of Gobak Film and married to Park Kyeong-Se. She is broad-minded and steadfast enough to embrace Hwang Dong-Man’s long-winded talks. Hwang Jin-Man (Park Hae-Joon) is Hwang Dong-Man’s older brother and former poet. After experiencing the end of incompetence, he, whose inner self collapsed, feels empty.
