Synopsis
editSuzy (Rudklao Amratisha) is a powerful businesswoman in the Thai entertainment industry. She created "House of Stars" – a mansion where she gathers the most successful artists from her agency, all living under one roof. The house has strict rules: no romantic relationships between colleagues, mandatory curfew, and a prohibition on causing any kind of trouble.
Among the residents are Gun (Pepo), the country's biggest superstar; the popular fan couple Pitch (Leo) and So (Boss); the real-life couple Korn (New) and Mintra (Oaey); and the newcomers Pawin (Double), Wayha (Heng) and Wayu (Namchok). Despite the glamour and cameras, each one carries dark secrets – repressed desires, hidden ambitions, and forbidden relationships.
When a mysterious young man appears at the mansion calling Suzy "mother," buried truths begin to surface. The series explores the dark backstage of the entertainment industry, where no one is completely innocent.[3]
