~Author's Note~

Hey Everyone! It's Sho back again with a fresh new story although this time, I'm taking a break from a and horror to switch into comedy and decided to adapt my favourite Shakespeare story: A Midsummer Night's Dream. We saw many versions of Shakespeare but never seen modern versions of this classic story so I decided to add a touch of K-Pop with romance, drama, comedy and magic into a hillarious cocktail. I hopw you all enjoy this comedy in modern times and it will make you cry with laughter. =D

"The course of true love never did run smooth....." - William Shakespeare

A Love Story on the run with a death sentence...!?

Taecyeon and Yoona were childhood sweethearts who loved each other since they were trainees and now become famous in the K-Pop world. Their romance is threatened when Yoona receives a proposal from her uncle to marry the prince of Thailand, Nichkhun who is famous is his native country and looking to settle with Yoona. Unfortuntely, her uncle disapproves her romance with Taecyeon and offers a drastic solution: to imprison Yoona until her death!

Trapped and unsure of her future, Yoona decides to elope with Taecyeon and confides with her band mate, Tiffany with the plan, in hopes to win approval from her uncle and save their romance from doom. Tiffany is an American-born K-Pop star who lived with Yoona but madly in love with Nichkhun since she laid her eyes on him. Despite Yoona's secret, she acidentally reveals the lovers' plan to Nichkhun, (who previously broke up with her for Yoona) but uwtiingly helps in order to win over Nichkhun, who uses her to search for Yoona and Taeyeon (whom he wants to get rid of at any cost)....

Two warring agencies with a one-sided revenge plan..!

Jung Ji Hoon (Rain) runs an agency for singers turned actors while Kim Tae Hee runs an agency for models turned actresses. Rain believes a singer needs to have variety with acting roles in TV and movies to gain more credibility but Tae Hee believes it's a waste of time as models need an apportunity to show their acting skills and become a star in TV and movies too. Their rivalry intensified when Tae Hee received a changeling for a trainee who rejected Rain's agency for her company and Rain looked to get revenge for her disobedience with the use of a magic potion conducted with help of his assistant, Wooyoung.

A group of men organising a performance with a message...!

Lee Kwang Soo runs as casting director and co-ordinator from SNL Korea who is looking to organise a live "dramedy" at an event, so he decided to enlist the help of Jay Park (a former boyband idol) and his friends for help. Jay Park is an American-born resident who gets mocked constantly by his lack of "sattoori" and is only popular for his looks and muscles, while looking to get a good acting break. He works with Jo Kwon, Seulong, Jinwoon and Changmin who are fellow perfomers looking to impress and entertain for the upcoming wedding for Park Jin Young (JYP) and Park Gahee. Although the idea is easier said than done, it's difficult for them to come up with an idea to perform as doing gags is cheap, singing other idols songs is "unoriginal" and their acting is far from perfect as the unknowingly make dramatic acts into a comedy. 

All the world's a stage and these three stories come together with a mix of romance, drama, action, comedy and most importantly, a lot of MAGIC!

Chapter 3: Rain must work really hard as his and his worker and friends magic had backfired before. But now maybe things will turn for better or for worse. Who knows.

Jay Park must be careful as his skit can turn into a disaster easily. Also I still can’t believe that he used to be in 2PM. His music is so different from what the group went for.

Chapter 2: Poor Yoona, the only way to escape is either to die or run away. Maybe Taecyeon’s idea will save them both!

Tiffany is so cruel. One minute she acts like she loves and cares about Yoona. The other minute she helps Nickhun. She should understand that Nickhun doesn’t love her but love is blind I guess.

Chapter 1: This is an interesting take on Shakespeare works. Love that you chose 2nd gen idols as characters. The story that intrigues me the most is Yoona/ Taecyeon/ Tiffany/ Nickhun story.

First chapter sounds really good!
