Thursday, June 09, 2022
Set in the Korean entertainment industry, Lee Sung-Kyung stated that the script was almost 95% true in portraying the reality of the industry. In fact, she chose to star in Shooting Stars because of the detailed script.
"After receiving the script for Shooting Stars, I read the whole thing at one go. The parts that really attracted me were the attention to detail, the realistic portrayal of a management company and the interesting incidents that occur behind-the-scenes" - Lee Sung-Kyung
“What I liked about the script was the opportunity presented to me, to go into detail of the industry that I work in, especially what goes on behind the scenes, and portray it to viewers.”
As an actor playing an actor, Kim Young-dae mentioned that through the filming process, he found himself reevaluating many elements of being an actor that he had taken for granted previously.
While Shooting Stars is a light romantic comedy, it also explores some darker themes that depict the reality of the South Korean entertainment industry, including sasaeng fans (obsessive fan who stalks the arists), anti-fans, artists silently dealing with mental health and romance scandals.
Starring Lee Sung-kyung and Kim Young-dae, Shooting Stars is set within the entertainment industry. It follows Oh Han-byul, the PR team leader of a management company who is excellent at her job and Gong Tae-sung, the top actor of the company where Oh Han-byul works. He is loved by people due to his image of a kind and polite person but he has a different side - a strong desire to win and a hot temper. Both Oh Han-byul and Gong Tae-sung often butt heads over everything but their relationship develops romantically.
