Jeong Seo-ah | Jeong Series

One of the worst things that can happen in the South Korean entertainment industry is for a scandal to happen, brining scrutiny and stark glares at the entire complex. So, when the ‘incident’ happened for Seo-ah, it was both a traumatizing experience, but also a grand opportunity for her career. No one wanted headlines touting such things about two up and coming stars int eh movie and tv business. Taking her management’s advice, she let it get buried while she got a short break and a promise of a career push. Now that she’s back into working again, she’s landed herself a leading role in a joint production between a South Korean studio and a North American group. It is a major boost as it will put her in the eyes of more people across the world and certainly open more doors for her if all goes well. So, when strange incidents start happening on the set of the historical drama, a lot of talk starts to happen. Some suspect a saboteur from a group that didn’t get the contract while others suspect insurance fraud, and even a few executives think it’s Seo-ah herself pulling these things to get attention and push for more. The NA producer has forced the issue by providing one of their own to serve as Seo-ah’s personal assistant on set, playing practically a bodyguard, to help get to the bottom of the matter.
