My Ex Is a K-Pop Superstar

Nora Ellis came to Seoul from Austin, Texas, with one dream: debut. She lost the dream and the boy on a single night by the Han River, when her fellow trainee Yoon Jae-ha said her name flat, said those words, and walked away.

Seven years later she's the youngest writer on The Last Scene, a global Lumen original. Her name sits on the very last line of the credits. And at the first table read, the actor who walks in to play the male lead is Yoon Jae-ha.

He closes the script at scene three and asks, in front of everyone: "Who wrote this scene?"

Fine. If he wants her writing, he can have it. Slapped into a fountain — twice. A pink bunny suit at an amusement park. Face-first into a mudflat at sunset. Every humiliating scene she writes, the world star plays perfectly, without one word of complaint.

Then he starts leaving notes in the margins of his script. In a code only two people on earth would know.

Because the line he said that night by the river wasn't his. Someone else wrote it. And that man has just bought a forty percent stake in her show.

Twenty-nine days until his contract ends. One live press conference, streamed to 190 countries. And a final scene that Nora is going to write herself.

Don't mess with Texas.
