Chapter 1
OFF SCRIPT
✨ Meet the Characters
Written by JISHI JS
1. Kang Tae-jun — The Superstar 🎬
Age: 29
The nation’s favourite actor. Millions adore his smile, directors fight to cast him, and cameras follow his every move. But behind his perfect public image is a stubborn, sarcastic man who trusts very few people.
Tae-jun is used to getting what he wants—until he meets a woman who treats his celebrity status like a completely irrelevant detail.
He can deliver a convincing love confession in front of a camera, but admitting his real feelings? That’s a role he has no idea how to play.
His biggest weakness: Han Seo-yoon.
2. Han Seo-yoon — The Woman Behind the Scenes 🌷
Age: 25
Smart, independent, outspoken, and armed with a comeback for almost every situation, Seo-yoon works as an artist relations coordinator at Aurelia Entertainment.
She isn’t interested in becoming famous or winning a celebrity’s attention. She wants to build a successful career, support her family, and live peacefully.
Unfortunately, her peaceful life takes a turn when she is assigned to work with Kang Tae-jun—the most irritatingly handsome man she has ever encountered.
She can manage a film production crisis without blinking, but the strange warmth she feels around one particular actor might be her biggest challenge yet.
Her biggest weakness: A heart she pretends is made of stone.
3. Park Min-kyu — The Exhausted Manager 😂
Age: 31
Tae-jun’s personal manager, oldest friend, and unofficial crisis negotiator.
Min-kyu has survived years of celebrity schedules, demanding directors, and his best friend’s impossible standards. He considers himself an expert at reading Tae-jun’s moods.
Then Seo-yoon arrives.
Watching his famously unapproachable friend become ridiculously attentive to one employee is the most entertaining development of his career.
His greatest talent: Recognizing Tae-jun’s feelings before Tae-jun does.
4. Choi Hae-rin — The Perfect Co-Star 💎
Age: 28
Beautiful, accomplished, and always camera-ready, Hae-rin is one of the industry’s most celebrated actresses. Her on-screen chemistry with Tae-jun has made them a favourite pairing among fans.
She understands the value of public image and knows exactly how quickly popularity can disappear.
When Seo-yoon enters Tae-jun’s life, Hae-rin must confront the possibility that the future she imagined for herself may not unfold as planned.
Her greatest fear: Losing the position she has worked so hard to achieve.
5. Director Kwon Do-hyuk — The Man Behind the Headlines 🖤
Age: 45
A powerful executive at Aurelia Entertainment, Director Kwon believes every celebrity has a price and every scandal has a solution—provided the company controls the narrative.
He sees Tae-jun as the company’s most valuable asset and Seo-yoon as an employee who has become far too influential.
When protecting the company’s reputation conflicts with doing what is right, Kwon chooses power.
His greatest mistake: Underestimating the people he thinks he controls.
❤️ One Actor. One Employee. One Unscripted Love Story.
Behind the cameras, nobody knows what will happen next.
Tae-jun can control his expressions, his interviews, and his performances. Seo-yoon can manage almost every crisis thrown her way.
But neither can control what happens when two completely different worlds collide—and the feelings between them become impossible to ignore.
Welcome to OFF SCRIPT, where love was never part of the schedule.
