[STAGE of Two] was a program that featured only two guests per episode. An established, respected actor and a rookie. The senior actor would share their career experiences and offer guidance on the craft of acting. The younger actor was encouraged to ask any questions they had about the industry. Finally, the two would collaborate on performing a short scene together, showcasing their acting skills.
It was not a wildly popular program, but it was not a failure either. It had decent, steady ratings. If it did not, it would have stopped airing a long time ago. Still, it was not the kind of show a superstar of Valentine's caliber would normally appear on. So why would he want to be a guest there, and with Astrid of all people?
