Yi Chen...

I am truly delighted
to see you again.

This disciple of yours has grown up

and become much
stronger than before.

It is all because of your teachings.

Are you pleased?

Hello.

I have someone
I want you to work with.

[Twin Stars The Project]

A remake project based
on a famous Chinese novel.

This is a major project in
collaboration between Channel S

and the big studio, SIGMA.

Plus, it's the channel's


so they have
high expectations for it.

So far, the script has
been revised for two episodes.

It's a story about
two main characters.

Two main characters?

Don't tell me you're asking me
to pair up with Jin.

You've been in
the industry for over ten years,

you should know well

that if you don't do something,

both you and the studio will be
in an even worse situation.

Jin hasn't been in
the industry for long,

yet he's already
about to surpass you.

Plus, he has a big
studio backing him.

Your story is interesting,

and if you two take
this project together,

the negative opinions people
have about you will decrease.

Are you trying to tell me that

if I don't accept your offer,

my time

will be running out soon?

Akin,

you need to understand that

the entertainment industry is

a competitive field where
everyone fights for the spotlight.

No one can escape this.

If you're not happy
with the rising stars,

then show your skills
on set so that kid can see it.

Or are you afraid of losing?

Has the kid who once
shouted that he would be

the number one actor
of all time disappeared?

After Akin,

Secured the Sexiest Man Award for the fifth year

And with Jin closing in

Their star power is undeniable.

Channel S presents a brand-new series

The Legend of Gemini

Hey.

I don't think the actor you like is

handsome at all.

Who are you referring to?

I talk about this Akin and Jin.

They look average to me.

Honestly,

I'm even more handsome than them.

Don't be that confident.

Akin is way more handsome than you.

Hey! Can you lower your voice?

Akin isn't just handsome, you know.

He genuinely cares about others.

Even someone like Jin,

who only met him for a short while,
is already so attached.

He must be that charming.

You shipper girls.

Hey,

calm down.

The two of them are

acting together,

so they have to create a buzz
and make the audience believe it.

You ended up believing it too.

You're the one who doesn't
understand anything!

Good-looking, kind
men who are together —

what else could they possibly be,

except a couple?

sh**t! Very Handsome!

Hello.

The total is 132 baht.

Would you like to add Akin to that?

Would you like to add anything else?

Just one Akin... is more than enough.

Okay.

- I'll go ahead now.
- Okay.

- Can I have the bill, please?
- Okay.

- Yes, he's so cute.
- He's so cute.

Would you like to add more Akin?

Would you like to add anything else?

Just one Akin... is enough for me.

Jin?

Jin, don't play yet.

Listen to Ford first.

You go down alone first

because normally,

Akin goes down alone as well.

Go down and create
a moment with him,

and

don't spend too much
time with the fans.

Mr. Jade doesn't like
people who are late.

Okay.

Is it?

Yes, it really is!

Yeah, yeah!

[Screaming]

Touch.

Yes?

You go down with Jin first, okay?

Okay.

I'll go talk to the director first.

Okay, sure. I'll wait for Jin first.

Hey!

This year, you're still the number one
"Sexiest Man Awards"

A year has 365 days,

and I've worked over 400 days.

If I drop from the rankings,
let it be known!

But Jin is also
gaining a lot of attention.

He hasn't been in
the industry for long,

and he's already right behind,
almost at number two!

The fame of celebrities

will fade eventually.

Things like this are only temporary.

You can't measure
success by rankings like this,

it's all just fleeting.

Hey.

But he still looks up
to you as an idol.

He probably wants to catch up to me.

But in the end,

he'll just get bought
by the investors

and become nothing
more than a celebrity.

Hey!

If you dislike him that much,

then why are you taking this job?

Oh my god!

Sine.

I want to eat this.

- Take me to buy it.
- I can't anymore, I can't.

No, you can't. What time is it?

It's already past 10 o'clock.

- Sine, it looks so delicious!
- It's too late.

We have to go now.
Let's go, let's go. Not waiting anymore!

Hey.

Have you been waiting long?

If it's Akin, no matter how long, I can wait!

So cute!

[Jin: What do you want it for?]

[To register our marriage certificate?]

Oh! But wait, hold on!

I'll go tell them for you!

Akin, hello! How have you been?

Akin, wait for me!

Congratulations on being

named "The Sexiest Man of the Year"
for the 5th year in a row.

It's amazing.

How you've maintained
the title for so long.

If it were me, I definitely
wouldn't be able to do it like you.

But next year,
I'll be rooting for you!

You'll definitely get first place!

What time did you
wake up this morning?

Jin, come sit down.

All the actors are here now,

but let's wait for
Director Hong Tē for a moment.

Sine.

Just now.

- Take me to buy it. It looks so delicious!
- I can't anymore, I can't.

Let's go now! Hurry up!

Smells nice.

Touch! This is really delicious.

It's really delicious!

Thank you.

Hello, everyone.

Hello.

I'm sorry for making you wait.

Okay.

Alright, then I'll start now.

Everyone is here.

As you all know,

this series is our
major project of the year.

Therefore, we don't just
aim to target the Thai market,

but we hope to break into
the Asian market as well.

First of all, let me introduce
Director Hong Tē,

the director of this series.

Many of you may
have seen his previous works,

as his film 'Love Destination 2' was incredibly
popular and earned hundreds of millions.

Please give a round of
applause for Director Hong Tē.

Thank you.

Ah, it's not that much,

just 500 million.

Okay.

Make yourself comfortable.

Working with me,
no need to be tense—just relax!

Let's continue.

As for our two lead actors,

Akin and Jin,

the number 1 and number 2
‘Sexiest Men’,

they are playing the main roles
together for the first time.

I'm sure that with these two leads,
we've got the Thai market covered.

Gentlemen,

please greet everyone!

Hello everyone,

I'm Jin.
I'm playing the role of Mu Yang,

the beloved disciple
of Master Yi Chen.

I look forward to working
with all of you!

I feel honored

and excited

to work with Akin again,

who feels like my first mentor,

after we haven't seen each other for



And in the next 6 months,

I promise

I won't make Akin worried anymore.

Thank you.

I am Akin,

playing the role of Master Yi Chen.

I'm very pleased

to be working again
with Producer Jade,

Director Hong Tē,

and Jin in this project.

After 1 year, 3 months, and 15 days,

I hope that in the 325 scenes

we will work together from now on,

I won't have to worry
as much as Jin said.

I look forward to
working with all of you!

Okay then!

I think we're ready to

read through together.

Please, go ahead.

Mu Yang stood face-to-face
with Yi Chen,

his expression full of
excitement that he couldn't hide,

as he finally met
the master he had longed to see.

Mu Yang quickly bowed in
respect to his master.

Master Yi Chen...

I am truly delighted

to meet you again.

Five hundred years...

Five hundred years
that I have known you.

You have never been this nervous.

What do you have to
say for yourself?

What more do you want from me?

That's not it, Master.

I'm just...

happy to see you again.

My disciple has grown stronger

and more powerful than before.

All of this is

thanks to your teachings.

Are you pleased with me, Master?

Do you want me to say that

I'm pleased

to see you betray and
join the demonic side?

How pitiful.

If you've become like this
because of my teachings,

I can truly say

you've never understood
my teachings at all.

You've changed so much, Mu Yang.

You've changed into someone that...

I am deeply disappointed in.

From now on,

you and I

are severed.

I have no disciple like you.

Cut!

Good! Thank you.

I think we're all set for today.

Let's wrap it up here for now,

and we'll schedule our next session later.

But after the meeting
finishes, may I speak

with you, Akin and Jade,
for a moment?

I have a personal matter
I'd like to discuss.

Sure.

Thank you, everyone!
Thank you so much.

When Akin and Jin were

exchanging lines just now

I came up with a great idea.

What idea do you have?
Feel free to propose it!

Think about it with me.

The novel 'The Legend of Gemini'

has been remade 4-5 times already,

and every time,

it's been told from
Yi Chen's perspective.

Are we just going to
do the same thing?

If we try something new

and tell the story from
Mu Yang's perspective,

I think something
fresh could happen.

Just like

the story of Nang Nak,

when it was told from
Phee Maak's perspective,

instantly fresh,

instantly impactful.

So here's the thing.

I have an initial idea.

I want to start by
changing the storyline.

I want to make Yi Chen

a vengeful spirit at
the beginning of the story.

Hold on,

a malevolent spirit?

Is a small adjustment?

Yes,

think about it.

When Yi Chen becomes
a malevolent spirit,

he will only be able to communicate
with one person—Mu Yang.

This pairing of characters

will have a significant bond,

creating moments of deep deep friendship.

But I think if we're
making such a big change,

we should consult with
the IP owner first, right?

So here's the thing,

making such a big change
in the direction of the story

requires thorough discussions
with multiple teams.

How about this?
You can try writing it first

and then present it to me.

If I'm okay with it,

I'll go talk to them for you. Okay?

Okay.

What does Mr. Akin think?

For

a 500 million director, like you,

you can do,

whatever you want!

I promise I won't disappoint you.

Thank you for believing in my ideas.

Hong Tē!
Immediately cut my scene, huh?

You plan to make me die and become
a ghost, following Jin like a fool?

Just wait...

I'll make sure to leave
them speechless!

You're not getting away, Hong Tē!

What the hell are you doing?!

I was just kidding a little.

When did I ever become
your playmate?

I just saw you looking stressed,
so I thought I'd buy this for you.

Where did you get this from?

It's not even sold here.

Not telling. Am I a good boy?

I'll tell you.

I bought it from outside.

That's all.

By the way,
about what you asked earlier...

Would you like to add more Akin?

No, not that.

What else do you want to add?

Having fun?

I'm going now.

Someone like Mu Yang?

Master Fei Long.
Why should I be afraid?

How could a teacher be
afraid of their disciple?

True.

What's there to be afraid of?

I have more skills

and more experience.

That child is driven
only by a thirst for power,

doing anything for it,

even studying dark arts.

But he lacks understanding of
the world in the martial realm.

A person like this can
never achieve greatness.

Exactly!

People who just follow
trends like that wooden boy,

Wait ... Mu Yang,

how can they ever
compete with Master Yi Chen?

[Hold on.]

[You're not afraid,]

[but what about the common people?]

[What do they think about that kid?]

Fei Long.

You should be
cautious, Master Yi Chen.

No one is immortal.

One day, the time
of change will come.

Who is your acting idol?

Akin. I just like him.

He's a nice person.

Ah. Um.

[The chemistry between
Jin and Akin is amazing!]

[I can't wait to watch
The Legend of Gemini' soon!]

[Akin is amazing!]

[He's such a talented actor and
a great senior in the industry.]

[He takes really good care
of even new actors]

[so attentive Akin
is truly outstanding!]

[Does Akin still have his shine?]

[Ever since Jin came along,]

[Akin's had fewer jobs.]

[He just has to ride
the kid's wave.]

[Just look at
the drama AKINA, you can tell.]

He's the main lead,

[yet Jin keeps
stealing the spotlight.]

[I'm an Akin fan,]

[but I might have
to accept the truth—]

[next year, Jin is definitely
taking the number one spot.]

[Next year, he'll definitely be
overshadowed. He's so arrogant]

[and never interacts with his fans.]

[Jin is so much better—]

[Akin doesn't even compare.]

[Everything Jin said on
the show was scripted.]

[Even if Akin really
treated him like shite,]

[no rookie actor would dare
call out a senior publicly.]

[Agreed]

[Yes, that's correct!]

[Yeah, exactly! So true!]

[Jin: There was no script.]

[Everything I said was]

[truly how I feel about Akin.]

Will he be okay?

[Look, the moon is smiling.]

[Anyone who sees this story,]

[bad things will pass,]

[and good things will come.
Keep fighting!]

[Look, the moon is smiling.
Anyone who sees this story.]

[bad things will pass, and good things will come.
Keep fighting!]

Mr. Jade.

Today, will there be an opportunity
to interview Jin and Akin

about the topic where Jin responded
to the fans' comments last night?

I apologize to everyone,

but we have a filming schedule
in another province,

so it won't be convenient to
interview them today.

But…

We really not available. We need to hurry.

They're here, they're here!

What are you doing?

It's cold.

Stop making that face already!

[Sorry, and thank you to the fans as well.]

Alright, since we're already here,

let's go for the interview quickly.

Okay.

[Jin and Akin,]

[may I ask for an interview
about last night?]

When you replied to

the fan's message,
defending Akin like that,

does it mean there's a chance
that your on-screen pairing

could turn into a real couple?

Will it be true?

And how do you feel about
working with Jin again this time?

I'm very happy.

I have to say that

I've been impressed with Jin since
we worked together on AKINA.

Now that

we're back together on this project,

it feels reassuring

[to work with someone familiar.]

[Oh, Akin, you've been eagerly waiting to...]

Akin.

Do you want to watch
the interview of yourself?

This is the tenth time,

aren't you getting tired of it?

No,

I think it's cute. I like it.

But I don't like it.

If you're going to keep listening,

go get your headphones
and put them on!

I forgot to bring them.

Thank you.

Well, my team and I have already approved
the script before filming.

But didn't you just
adjust the script on set?

Well,

I'm the director.

I have the right to make changes on set.

Akin.

Akin.

Did you know? Director Hong Tē
changed the script again!

Your part got cut down quite a bit.

This isn't fair! How can you just

cut Akin's lines like this all of a sudden?

It's okay, Akin.

I'll handle it myself.

Let me think for a moment.

Akin.

I have something
I need your help with.

Have you already thought of a plan?

Yes.

Master Yi Chen...

I am truly glad

to meet you again.

Your disciple has grown and

become stronger than before.

All of this is

thanks to your teachings.

Are you pleased with this?

I have never had
a disciple like you.

Is there no disciple like me, then!

Then who is it

that made me yearn for success,

so that I could be worthy of you!

Why...

even though I've tried so hard,

why won't you accept me?

Actors are the characters,

and they can interpret
the character their way, right?

It ruins the main line of the story.
Do you understand, Jade?

And the problem is,

it will cause damage
that continues on and on, Jade.

If Akin improvises and it ruins the storyline
or the key message,

I'll take full responsibility
for both the time and the money.

[He adjusts his piece's placement.]

Even until this very moment…

I still have to prove
myself to you, don't I?

I'm really afraid that
if it turns out that way,

the relationship between

the disciple and the
master—which is very important.

Please trust me.

What Akin is doing,

he's not doing it for himself—

he's doing it for this series.

He wants to make it
the best it can be.

[Is he improvising?]

I have lost to you.

Not yet.

If he doesn't walk out,
then how is he going to act?

Let's wait and see.

I trust Akin.

I believe there will definitely

be a magic moment.

What are you going to do?

It has been a long time

since the evil sect have
tried to attack me,

but they have never succeeded.

But now,

it seems they have figured out

what tool can

destroy me.

I have never been a tool for them.

The reason I have
come back to you is

because of my own desire.

I can protect you!

No matter what happens,

I will protect you!

My time has run out,

Mu Yang.

Thank you

for playing Go
with me one last time.

Thank you

for not using dirty
tactics to defeat me.

I am so proud...

to have you as my disciple.

My time is up, Mu Yang.

Master!

Master!

Master!

Don't leave me.

Master!

Master!

Master Yi Chen!

Cut!

It's even better than what I wrote.

Amazing, amazing!

- They're really something, Jade!
- Correct.

I think these
two could really go far.

Thank you so much for helping
me with the negotiation.

Because of you.

Why because of me?

Because of you.

I don't know if you realize this,

but your performance just now

really added depth to your character.

Yes,

it was crazy.

Especially the way you played
your moves just now. I think

it was amazing.

Since you're brave enough to risk
changing the script,

I'm brave enough to play along.

If anything is better than before,
I'm okay with it.

Thank you.

- You're welcome!
- Akin.

What's up?

Are you free today?

I want to invite you for a drink

and then...

I think I'll rest today.

I've been filming all day.

Anyway, I...

I think you should go, Master.

That disciple probably has

something special to discuss
with you, Akin.

Go ahead.

Um.

But anyway, we'll have to meet
tomorrow anyway.

- We'll talk then...
- Go ahead, Akin.

Maybe you'll find out what caused

the change in your performance.

I think Akin is probably tired.

Let him rest.

Alright,

anyway, my scene is
getting cut tomorrow.

The next filming is in the evening.

It'd be nice to have a drink.

Enjoy.

See you soon. Good luck!

Are you okay?

Hello! Please, come in.

Would you like to have
something else?

Do you like Judy?

Oh, it's not that.

I bought it because...

of this.

Oh,

Akin.

Akin is so enviable, isn't he?

Why is that?

Well, he's the number one
Sexiest Man.

It's not something

just anyone can be.

Please come again next time.
