The series scored low ratings in South Korea; some have argued that the low ratings were a result of the series being atypical of Korean dramas, particularly its black humour and perhaps American vibe.

- The CEO of a management company, a powerful and well-connected agent who turns Young-bin from a pretty-boy actor into a rising star.
- A rising superstar in his 20s, known for his handsome looks. Despite his fame, he is a vapid actor with delusions of artistic grandeur.
- Young-bin's cousin. A former member of Sugar Boys, an idol group who debut in the late 90s. Now he is a struggling actor desperate for more fame.
- A.k.a. "Cup Noodles", he is Young-bin's best friend. An average boy-next-door who gets thrown into the world of showbiz when his best friend becomes a star. He now acts as Young-bin's personal manager and despite his will, is treated badly by the CEO, causing him to be skeptical about his job.
- Young-bin and Ho-jin's childhood friend. A happy-go-lucky guy who is bright and positive, but has no luck with the ladies. He acts as the driver and odd job man of the group.
