Go Youn-jung’s new character: the intense “Axe” producer

In the series, Go Youn-jung plays Byun Eun-a, a film producer working for a production company called Choi Film.

Within the industry, she is known by a striking nickname:

“The Axe.”

The name comes from her brutally honest script reviews. Her feedback is said to hit writers like an axe striking down sharp, direct, and impossible to ignore.

Despite working under a cunning company CEO, Eun-a never backs down and maintains a strong, confident presence in the workplace.

But behind her fearless exterior lies a character dealing with hidden anxiety and emotional instability.
