Behind Every Star Kdrama Episode 1 Recap

Behind Every Star episode 1 starts with Kim Joong Don, Cho Yeo Jeong’s manager, getting in trouble as his artist is running late in a taping. Despite receiving all the troubles, he continues to work as a manager to become a good example for his team at Method Entertainment.

The actress is set to work with Quentin Tarantino in the US, but Kim Joong Don receives a tip that she can no longer be part of it as the director thinks she is too old for the role. With that, her efforts to learn how to ride a horse come to a waste.

Ma Tae O and Cheon Je In enter the picture. The two colleagues always share disagreements as they aim to improve the company and its managers.

On the other hand, Kim Joong Don feels down after his talent fails to secure the US contract.

So Hyun Joo searches for the Method Entertainment building, where she eventually works as a rookie manager and meets the director. However, she finds it hard to enter the entertainment industry because of Ma Tae O.

She bumps into Cheon Je In, who is looking for a manager after one of her teammates quit. She gets hired and starts the job immediately despite Ma Tae O’s disapproval. Yoo Eun Soo sees Ma Tae O and So Hyun Joo together, piquing her interest in them.

Actress Cho Yeo Jeong also learns about Quentin Tarantino’s decision, but she feels disappointed when she finds out about it from other people. While trying to stroll around the area, she finds her manager in a restaurant but sees him reject her call. When she tries confronting him about the contract, he continuously lies and makes her think about retiring.

Kim Joong Don returns to the office feeling emotional after his artist decides to leave the agency because So Hyun Joo tells her about the contract. Ma Tae O then asks Yoo Eun Soo to contact the US director’s office in pursuit of resolving the issue about the contract, and she successfully scores the project again through Amy.

However, she needs to undergo a procedure to make her face look younger.

After Ma Tae O tells Cheon Je In that it was So Hyun Joo who spilt the information about Cheo Yeo Jeong’s US contract, she immediately gives her a warning. Other managers also tell her she can quit, but she remembers that she needs to find a script in Ma Tae O’s table to win her back and get a second chance at her job.

Kim Joong Don and Cheo Yeo Jeong fix their manager-artist relationship before the actress undergoes the procedure. But after thinking about it, she decides not to get the procedure and just live the way she wants to regardless of her age.

When the Method Entertainment staff meet to have a meeting, they receive a call from Wang Tae Ja’s number, and the man on the other line tells them that the CEO died.
