Lee Sung Kyung portrayed her skills and lovable charm by acting as Oh Han Byul, the head of the PR team at Star Force Entertainment. She realistically expressed both the joys and sorrows of company employees. Kim Young Dae, who plays the perfect superstar Gong Tae Sung, expressed his character’s complicated nature by flipping back and forth from “celebrity Gong Tae Sung,” who makes fans’ hearts flutter, to “natural Gong Tae Sung,” who drives his agency crazy.

Yoon Jong Hoon plays Kang Yoo Sung, the head of Management Team 1 at Star Force Entertainment, and he showed a gentle presence through his character. Kim Yoon Hye, as the bodyguard-turned-manager Park Ho Young of Management Team 2, drew smiles from the room by showing her character’s abundant passion. Sojin transformed into entertainment reporter Jo Gi Bbeum, while Lee Jung Shin showed his sophisticated and intellectual charms as Do Soo Hyuk, a legal advisor to Star Force Entertainment.

Towards the end of the video, the actors give brief introductions to their characters followed by footage of them reading their lines. Lee Sung Kyung describes her character as one who fulfills her duties well and works hard. Kim Young Dae describes Gong Tae Sung as a top celebrity.

Yoon Jong Hoon shares that his character makes sacrifices but doesn’t flaunt it in order to let the actors shine. Kim Yoon Hye says Park Ho Young is a character who matures both as a person and as an employee, while Sojin explains that even though her character’s name Gi Bbeum means “joy” in Korean, she is actually cynical. Finally, Lee Jung Shin describes Do Soo Hyuk as someone who can be unapproachable and cold.

After the script reading, the production team commented, “From the script reading where the actors first worked together, we couldn’t stop laughing thanks to the bright and positive energy they emitted as well as their great acting chemistry. In addition, the actors burst into laughter as they related to the realistic portrayal of the entertainment industry that is alive in parts of the script. We will present a refreshing and comfortable romantic comedy that is suitable for spring. Please look forward to it a lot.”

“Shooting Stars” is scheduled to premiere in April. Check out the full video of the script reading below:
