In This Life, an Oscar—Not Just a Husband

Ha Eun-rae is an actress who can act well, but whose public favorability has hit rock bottom because of her noisy family troubles.

One day, while receiving a script from the most successful director in Korea, she gets a chance to rise again.

"Eun-rae, quit acting and marry me."

"What?"

"You said you wanted a real family."

There’s no way a man who asks to marry her on the condition that she retires is normal.

But the words "a real family" make her accept the proposal.

And four years later.

"Answer properly! Did you really sleep with that woman?"

She has become the lead of a cheesy morning soap opera spouting cliché lines.

For a moment she regrets it, and then the gleaming headlights of a cargo truck shine on her.

Just like a spotlight on a theater stage.

Bang!

*

When she opens her eyes again, she has gone back twelve years.

This time, she will never live like that again.

She, the life she loves, the very set where she felt most free.

Her life as an actress.

"I’ll only look at that."

In this life, she will never let go of either her career as an actress or the precious connections she made.
