Risa's pov:

"Cut!"

I breathed out, lips curling up as I bowed politely to the people around me.

"Great, Risa!" the director complimented me, making me feel quite proud of myself. The role in the drama wasn't big but I gave my best anyways.

Because I participated in this drama, my popularity grew and I got more schedules than I normally had. There were more offers coming in for me taking on roles, for going on shows and other projects.
