At the awards ceremony, the female host wonders who will be the winner in Love In Sync episode 1. Ji-An works out in the gym. She takes over the water from her manager. She drinks it. She stands on the scale to weigh herself. It’s 500 grams. She gets angry after knowing the result. She mentions what she said that she only wanted to eat three pieces of Seaweed Rice Rolls. She doesn’t understand why the manager gave her five pieces.
The manager explains it to Ji-An that he worried that she would pass out. He thinks nobody will notice 500 grams. She yells at him. She tells him that those guys will do it. She runs on the treadmill. Ji-An dresses up. She shows up in front of her people. She looks at herself in the mirror. She thinks she’s beautiful. She’s envy of her teammates. Because they can look at the beautiful her every moment. She tells them that they don’t have to go to the Louvre. She says that Venus is there.
They agree with what she said. But she feels very sad. Why she can she only see herself in the mirror? She feels wronged. The manager reminds her that she will be late. She decides to go claim her prize.
Eun-Hwan treats the patient at his house. He thinks he should beat the guy to death as well. He mentions he has been bullied. He thinks he should fight it back since he was bullied. He asks him if he worries that he will lose. The patient denies it. Eun-Hwan asks the patient if he feels sorry for the guy when he’s asked to take revenge. The patient gets angry. He asks Eun-Hwan if he knows what the guy did to him. Eun-Hwan reminds the patient that he has ended up in such a state because of the guy. He dropped out of the school like running away. He hides in the room everyday. It’s as if he’s living in hell. The terrible feelings he should let the guy taste it as well.
Eun-Hwan meets the boy’s father. The boy’s father worries that the method isn’t right. He feels relieved that his son is more energetic than he used to be. But he worries that he will do something dangerous. Eun-Hwan tells the man that the important thing is to save his son. The boy Sang-Woo falls into depression and feels helpless. Because he has been a victim of school bullying. He even had intention to kill himself.
Eun-Hwan thinks the best way is to take revenge. For those who want to give up everything, desire for revenge can become a strong will to live. He knows what Sang-Woo’s father is worrying about. But he’s an outstanding Psychological Counselor. He will return the original son to him in a short period of time. Sang-Woo’s father believes that Eun-Hwan will do a good job. He invites him to stay for dinner. The aunt at his house has good cooking skills. Eun-Hwan thanks Sang-Woo’s father for inviting him. But he has consultation appointments.
Eun-Hwan gets a call from the lady. She invites him to come to her show. But he rejects it when he notices Ji-An’s commercial on the street. In the van, Ji-An sees the news. She and Yi-Jin went from being friends to enemies. The reporter wants to know who will win the award. The girl notices that Ji-An’s jaw is about to dislocate. She asks Ji-An how many pieces of gum she chews at a time. Ji-An says that she has to do it to reduce swelling. She tells the girl that not everyone can be celebrities.
It’s all self-management. It’s professional. Manager tells Ji-An that President contacted him before they set off. She’s interested in what President Kim said. He tells her that he will leak it if she doesn’t get angry and yell. She promises. But she breaks her promise soon.
Ji-An calls President Kim. She asks him why she’s before Yi-Jin. He explains it to her that the organizer decided it and informed him. He couldn’t do anything. She learns that he accepted it without thinking about it like a puppy. He reminds her that it’s the most prestigious film festival. A boss of a talent agency cannot change those guys’ decision. It’s rude and disruptive if he forces them to change it. President Kim worries that he will be rejected by industry insiders in the future.
After all, Ji-An is thought that she’s not polite. Everyone knows she has a bad temper. So she doesn’t have to bring trouble and give people something to talk about. President Kim tells Ji-An that he’s doing it for her own good. But she asks him if he heard any voice. He asks her what kind of voice. She says that it’s the voice that she’s lowered. She reminds him that position and order are very important in the entertainment industry. She’s placed ahead of Yi-Jin. It means that Yi-Jin is higher than her. She asks him if he wants her to accept it in front of people.
She asks him if he’s crazy. She only stood in the center when she was an idol. He tells her that things are different now. He asks her to accept her fate since it’s a done deal. She learns that he cannot handle the case. He says it’s beyond his capabilities. She decides to do it on her own since he cannot make it. He asks her not to do anything. But she hangs up. Ji-An asks the manager Do-Hoon to hit the car in front of them. He realizes that she’s serious. He drives the van to hit the car.
In the dressing room, Yi-Jin praises her senior Jung-Mi. But she’s told that her order will be changed. The guy shows her the news that Ji-An had an accident on her way to the film festival. She wanted to attend the film festival even if she was hurt. She wasn’t seriously injured, but she needs to go to hospital first.
In the evening at the film festival, Yi-Jin gets off the van. She’s nominated for the Newcomer Award with outstanding acting skills. She walks down the red carpet while she waves at the reporters. Another van appears. Ji-An gets off her van. The reporters’ attention is stolen away by Ji-An. Yi-Jin’s smile is frozen. She turns around and she looks at Ji-An.
Ji-An is very beautiful tonight. The female host wants to know her condition since she had an accident. Ji-An is in a good mood. She gives her fans a flying kiss. She sees Yi-Jin. She notices that she doesn’t walk forward. Yi-Jin walks to Ji-An. She takes her by the arm. Their friendship makes the night so beautiful. Ji-An asks Yi-Jin about her insincere welcome. She thinks their relationship isn’t that good. Yi-Jin asks Ji-An to treat it as a show. She thinks she’s good at it.
At the restaurant, Dong-Kyung laughs when he watches the show. Eun-Hwan walks into the restaurant. He asks Dong-Kyung for food. He’s hungry. He eats the food Dong-Kyung provided. Dong-Kyung thinks Eun-Hwan should have had a meal. But Eun-Hwan claims that his time is valuable. His consulting fees are charged by the hour.
Dong-Kyung tells Eun-Hwan that Ji-An was nominated for the Newcomer Award. He likes the star very much. He was the president of her fans club. Eun-Hwan asks Dong-Kyung why he likes Ji-An since there’re many pretty girls in the world. Dong-Kyung realizes that Eun-Hwan doesn’t like Ji-An because she’s the competitor of his crush. He persuades him that he shouldn’t play hard to get with the girl. Eun-Hwan threatens Dong-Kyung that he will sue him for spreading the false rumor.
At the film festival, Ji-An and Yi-Jin are watching the show. Yi-Jin knows Ji-An’s accident is a lie. She mentions she claimed that she was sick when she didn’t want to attend the event. She was comfortable to take a break. But Yi-Jin and other girls were miserable to bleed. Yi-Jin talks back that she only slept for four hours everyday. The group became famous because of her. She fought with all her might to earn the money. But she had to share it with them. So she has a nickname “Donation Angel” among fans.
Yi-Jin brings up that Yu-Joo was hospitalized for depression because of the malicious comment. Ji-An left the group without a good reason. It caused the group to disband. Ji-An tells Yi-Jin that it was because Yu-Joo was too weak. She doesn’t believe the group disbanding was because of her. Yi-Jin reminds Ji-An that she was somewhat famous, and she abandoned them to go solo. But Ji-An thinks it means that Yi-Jin and other girls were so incompetent. She says that she doesn’t have to feel guilty for their incompetence in the competitive society. Yi-Jin agrees with what Ji-An said. They became sacrificial pieces after Ji-An left. She thinks they should take the blame. But since the situation has changed, who’s the incompetent person.
When they were idols, Ji-An was amazing. She was the center. The incompetent Yi-Jin was an outsider. Now they’re actresses. Who’s the center and who’s the outsider. The female host announces that Yi-Jin won the Newcomer Award.
Ji-An cries in her bedroom. She complains why it wasn’t her. She worked hard very much. Do-Hoon goes to the bedroom to look into the girl. He reports it to President Kim that Ji-An didn’t choose mad path. She chose the path “Frost in June”. The extremely resentful crying method is like the legendary female ghost in the countryside. President Kim planned to give the Contract Renewal to Ji-An if she won the Newcomer Award. But the one who made it was Yi-Jin.
Do-Hoon tells President Kim that his dream is too ambitious. He would suspect that there was a black box if Ji-An won the award. He can tell that it was a fair awards ceremony. President Kim tells Do-Hoon that he should trust and support Ji-An as her manager. But Do-Hoon says that it’s another issue when it comes to fairness. He offers to retreat. He doesn’t want to encounter the tail of the typhoon. President Kim scolds the guy. He reminds him that it’s raining outside. He thinks something will happen to Ji-An if he lets her stay at home alone. He decides to retreat if the rain stops.
Ji-An shows up. Do-Hoon asks Ji-An if she’s fine. She says that she’s hungry. She prepares a table full of dishes. She asks Do-Hoon and President Kim to enjoy it even if she hasn’t prepared much. Do-Hoon asks Ji-An if she doesn’t eat it. He thinks she should take a hearty bite on a day like today. She’s furious to yell at him. She asks him if she should get chubby after she failed to win the award. It’s the dinner for them. She asks them to enjoy it.
President Kim thanks Ji-An. But he wonders when they will eat up the dishes. Do-Hoon tells his boss that he’s going to take a fitness photo shoot. Ji-An asks the two to listen to what she says when they eat. She asks them to be honest to answer her. If her acting skills are worse than Yi-Jin’s. She cannot understand she actually cannot measure up to Yi-Jin. She thinks she’s a layperson if she feels wronged and she cries. So she decides to be like a professional to analyze it thoroughly about today’s evaluation results.
President Kim tells Ji-An that it’s not true that she cannot measure up to Yi-Jin. He thinks Yi-Jin just got lucky. Do-Hoon tells Ji-An that her acting skills are better than Yi-Jin’s. She’s very happy after she was praised. But she asks them to be honest so that she will make progress. But they say that it’s true. She threatens them that she will get angry if they keep lying. President Kim says that they didn’t lie. But Do-Hoon asks Ji-An if they can be honest.
She learns that he has been lying until now. She asks him to be honest to tell her what he thinks. He confesses it to her that he analyzed her acting skills. But it’s not that her acting skills are bad. It doesn’t have a soul. He cannot feel her understanding of the character. She’s not really getting into the role. She learns that she’s so in his eyes. He’s like a film critic. He thinks her problem lies in that she lacks empathy. He mentions she cannot put herself in someone else’s shoes, and she’s a little selfish, and she’s self-centered. But the central theme of acting is to interpret other people’s lives and other people’s feelings. So it’s hard for someone like her. She’s furious to stab the chicken with a knife. She asks him to eat it all up.
President Kim and Do-Hoon leave Ji-An’s house. President Kim thinks they were lucky that the rain stopped. Otherwise, they will be tortured by food. Do-Hoon asks President Kim if he knows where he can buy stomach medicine. But President Kim asks Do-Hoon to run. It’s the best medicine. Ji-An watches her movie in the living room. She remembers Do-Hoon’s words.
It flashes back. Ji-An films a commercial in the studio. The girl forgets her lines until Ji-An tells the lines to her. Ji-An’s mother Jung-Mi scolds Ji-An. She thinks it’s not her business. Ji-An mentions someone said that she should help her friend. Jung-Mi yells at Ji-An. She asks her which fool taught it to her. She reminds her that she can only get the chance when the girl makes mistakes. She asks her why she did the stupid thing. She asks her if she wants to go back to the orphanage again.
Ji-An shakes her head. Jung-Mi tells Ji-An that she doesn’t want to break up with her. So she should do as she says. She must become someone who doesn’t need to be nice to others. People in the world will treat her well as long as she gives up her kindness. Ji-An returns to the studio. The girl puts some candies in Ji-An’s hand. She thanks her. But Ji-An throws the candies on the floor.
At present, Ji-An studies in the acting classroom. The teacher tells Ji-An that her emotion isn’t right. But Ji-An thinks she did nothing wrong. Because the quote asks her to shout out spontaneously. The teacher asks Ji-An about the real emotion of the role. She asks the man she loves to get lost. But she wishes he won’t leave in her heart. She wants to keep him. The emotion of urgency is the real undercurrent of the line. Ji-An doesn’t know what kind of feeling it is. This is why her acting skills aren’t improved.
Eun-Hwan is going to leave his office. Mr. Lee offers to send a flower basket to Yi-Jin. He mentions Yi-Jin is the VIP of their Consulting Firm. They should do something since she just won an award. Eun-Hwan texts Yi-Jin. He tells the beauty that he watched the awards ceremony. He congratulates her. She tells him that she wanted to receive his congratulation most. She wants to buy him a good meal. She asks him when he’s free.
Ji-An shows up. She’s surprised that Yi-Jin came to the beauty salon as well. Yi-Jin says that the dean there has been asking her to come to her shop. She guesses she wants her to give her skills a try. Ji-An thinks Yi-Jin is doing pretty well. She reveals the dean only serves the top stars. Yi-Jin notices that Ji-An cried yesterday. She figures it out that she wasn’t willing to accept it. Because the Newcomer Award was taken away by her.
Ji-An claims that it’s edema. She ate noodles yesterday. Sometimes, she wants to make a mess of things. Mi-Jung shows up. She informs Yi-Jin that the car is waiting for her downstairs. Ji-An recognizes Mi-Jung. She learns that she’s working for Yi-Jin. She believes that she must have had a really hard time. Yi-Jin tells Ji-An that her face is as swollen as the moon. She leaves with Mi-Jung.
Ji-An wonders if her face is that swollen when she looks at herself in the mirror. Stylist shows up. She tells Ji-An that Yi-Jin won the award because she and Director Yoon are having an affair. But Ji-An scolds Stylist. She says that she knows Yi-Jin. She asks her to shut her mouth and do her job well.
Yi-Jin and Mi-Jung walk out of the beauty salon. Yi-Jin mentions Ji-An wore Alberni. Mi-Jung points out that Alberni doesn’t want to sponsor anyone. Yi-Jin asks Mi-Jung to get Alberni’s sponsorship tomorrow no matter what means she uses. She gets in the van. She’s told that Director Mun is looking for a female lead for his new movie.
In President Kim’s office, President Kim receives the message that Director Mun recommended Yi-Jin. But the Production Company didn’t agree. After all, her star quality isn’t enough. The Production Company recommended Ji-An. But Director Mun went against it. After all, her acting skills aren’t enough.
President Kim wonders why Ji-An’s acting skills haven’t been improved. If she can star Director Mun’s movie, her acting career will go smoothly. General Manager reports it to President Kim that Eun-Hwan is good at seeing through people’s hearts. He can stir deep emotions that are hidden in the subconscious. People say that the guy is helpful on improving actresses’ acting skills. But President Kim thinks Ji-An won’t go to get counseling without arguing.
Eun-Hwan meets the patient Ji-Young in the Consultation Room. He tries to leave after the consultation. But he’s locked in the room. He gets a call from someone. He’s told that someone needs his consultation. Ji-An reads the script with other actresses in the meeting room. The actress mocks Ji-An. Ji-An wants to take a break. Director Kim agrees.
Ji-An meets President Kim in his office. She learns that he wants her to go to get counseling. She’s furious to ask him if he treats her as a nutcase. He comforts her. He thinks she has a bias against psychological counseling. He reveals the actresses’ acting skills were improved after they met the guy. But she doesn’t want to reveal her subconscious. She worries that the guy will spread her subconscious. She thinks she shouldn’t trust just about anyone.
Ji-An tries to leave President Kim’s office. President Kim tells her that Yi-Jin met the guy as well. Yi-Jin’s acting skills were improved because of it.
Eun-Hwan is in his office. He remembers Ji-An wanted to be his client. He looks at the girl’s photo on his desk. He tells himself that it’s work. He lets Mr. Lee get off work. It makes Mr. Lee be interested in the big client. He reminds Eun-Hwan that he should be careful. He mentions he was locked up in the room last time.
Ji-An and Do-Hoon arrive at Eun-Hwan’s company. Ji-An thinks it’s a fortune-telling place. Do-Hoon heard that it was a Psychological Counseling Center. He persuades her to trust it one time. She agrees. But she disallows him to follow her. She gets in the building. She doesn’t notice the Power Outage Notice.
Ji-An visits Eun-Hwan. She asks him if she can go in if he looks at her enough. He lets her in. She discovers that it’s true that he’s outstanding. But he doesn’t know it. He mentions everyone says so. She figures out the reason why everyone says that she’s really annoying. He asks her to choose a card. She does it and she sits across from him. He tells her that she’s very guarded. He mentions she chose the first card without thinking about it. She uses the way to make decision immediately, maintaining a sense of control. It’s Common Characteristics that people who are very suspicious have. Because she was afraid that she would expose her heart when she chose.
He asks her how she was doing when she was a child. She asks him why he wants to know it. He says that he’s counseling her. She tells him that it was pretty ordinary. He tells her that he can only provide accurate advice when she’s honest enough. He takes out the paper she wrote. When she’s alone on a rainy day, she will feel intense fear. Claustrophobia will appear. He looks outside. He thinks it’s exactly this kind of weather today.
She tells him that it’s not that serious. But he says that it’s a kind of trauma. He asks her if she experienced any serious accident when she was a kid. He leaves the room. She tries to take the group photo on the desk. But there’s a sudden power outage. The room is dark. It starts to thunder outside.
Eun-Hwan is talking with someone over the phone. Ji-An hits the door. She asks him to open the door. He realizes that she has claustrophobia. He throws away the phone. He runs to the door. He asks her if she’s fine. She screams in the room. He asks her to stay away from the door. He bursts through the door. She cries to tell him that she cannot breathe. He teaches her to breathe. She remembers the uncle saved her. She mistakes Eun-Hwan for the uncle. She apologizes to him. She kisses him.
