Synopsis

Bong Soo Park and Wang Ki Kim are so called ‘actors’ or rather, ‘extras’, who fuss over minor roles. Though they sleep in the props storage and borrow money from their girlfriends, they never break down. They trust the day will come when they defeat Sung Ki Ahn and Min Soo Choi and carry Bora Kang and Jinsil Choi in their arms. But reality is cruel. There was a big wall in front of these guys who were ready to run to the end of the earth for a scene. It was shooting phobia. They roam around the surroundings, not giving up on their dream although they are used to being scolded and rejected for their uncountable mistakes.

Sae Pil, the assistant director that wasn’t much but still their only helper, helped them get a minor part as an investor and detective. They go to a hostess bar to entertain, and they act as if they are really an investor and detective out of curiosity. Surprisingly, people are fooled by their acting and they start getting their hands on a quite a lot of money. Who says acting should only be in front of the camera? They can develop courage, they mess with bad guys, and they earn money! At first, this starts off as a way to release stress and save some money to make their own movie. But it accelerates as corruption and illegality they’ve never imagined springs up from everywhere.
