Recap Korean Drama "Behind Every Star 2022" Episode 6

Nov 22, 2022

Behind Every Star episode 6 starts with a brawl between an upcoming director and a seasoned star – a problem for Jane to solve. On the other hand, Eun-ha makes a surprise visit to Hyun-joo’s place, which takes the young agent by surprise. Eun-ha and Hyun-joo chat about the latter’s relationship with Tae-oh.

However, the real fire rains down on Tae-oh when Eun-ha realises that her husband cheated on her while she was pregnant, and she promptly throws him out of the house in the middle of the night. Even Eun-gyul throws shade at his father for his odd behaviour.

At work the next day, Jane tries her best to make the director and actor meet midway and come to a mutually beneficial agreement, while Tae-oh bringing an overnight bag stirs controversy, which ends in Hyun-joo informing her father that she is looking for jobs and will leave as soon as she can, taking Tae-oh by shock.

Afterwards, a bigger fight breaks out between Ho-young and Soo-ro from the play resulting in Jane becoming even more frustrated with the entire situation and scrambling to find a middle ground. Hyun-joo, meanwhile, is tasked to deliver something to Eun-gyul, who assures her that it’s not Hyun-joo’s fault and that it would take some time for him and his mother to accept her as a sibling.

Funnily enough, things seem to have turned out for the best for the half-siblings.

On the other hand, with no other options, Jane breaks into Soo-ro’s house and convinces him to work with Ho-young and does the same with the latter. Convincing Ho-young does prove to be a little difficult, though, and she comes up with some sneaky tactic to get her job done.

Unfortunately, though, her relationship with Sung-uk suffers as he starts to worry about her and asks her to update him about her whereabouts. She vents to Jung-don, but he, too, takes Sang-uk’s side, frustrating Jane even more. On the other hand, after a disastrous audition, Hee-sun refuses to work with Jung-don anymore.

As Tae-oh desperately tries to win Eun-ha’s heart, Jane gets her grand plan in motion to make Ho-young and Soo-ro get together on the same page. Unfortunately, her plan backfires on her face when she screams out Soo-ro’s secret at Ho-young’s party. Surprisingly enough, it is Ho-young who calms Soo-ro down, and they are able to start liking each other by the end of the party.

The very happy moment, however, comes to an end when Sang-uk sees a drunk Jane hugging Ho-young and frustrated with her lifestyle, he breaks up with her. She ends up at Jung-don’s place just as he is about to go out for a beer with Hee-sun.

On the other hand, Tae-oh and Hyun-joo spend a father-daughter dinner together, wherein he asks her not to leave the company just yet, and she helps alleviate his heartbreak just a little bit.

Later on, as the day of the tax investigation comes to an end, Method Entertainment learns that they have to pay a hefty fine thanks to all the tax evasions and other illegal activities. Unfortunately, Tae-oh’s hand is played as he now must tell everyone that the acquisition needs to be postponed since he and his wife are separated.

As the team reels from the revelation, Jane rushes after Sang-uk and the team is left stunned when they witness the two of them making out in the elevator. Everyone is left shocked and confused, but in spite of Jane putting her heart out for him to see, Sang-uk rejects her and leaves her crying in the elevator.

That night, the team goes out to a karaoke bar to drown their sorrows for the night, and Jane does the same, sending Sang-uk several messages to get him to reach out to her but to no avail. As she goes back to the office, drunk and soaking wet, she sees someone already standing in her office, leaving her shocked.

There’s just so much happening in this series that it’s almost impossible actually to focus on one thing. With so many people and so many interpersonal relationships, Behind Every Star is, as usual, very hot and cold and continues to be confusing and sometimes rather boring at times. At other times, you do feel drawn to the characters’ plights and their very personal moments. They are relatable, but honestly, it’s just not very interesting all the time.
