Beauty and Mr. Romantic (2024 Korean Drama)

Beauty and Mr. Romantic is a romance drama that follows actress Park Do-ra (Im Soo-hyang), whose fame flickers under the relentless demands of her fame-hungry mother. Exhausted and yearning for freedom, Do-ra dreams of escaping the spotlight. When a twist of fate reunites her with Go Pil-seung (Ji Hyun-woo), a rookie producer with a soft spot for her, sparks of defiance ignite within her. Can Do-ra break free from her mom’s grip and find love in the chaos?
