Love in Sync (공감세포)

(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)

(Also, children and animals were filmed under production guidelines.)

Ji An.

Are you okay?

Why are you out here in the cold?

Is something wrong?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Then what is wrong?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What is it? What's wrong?

Tell me.

How did you end up in a place like this?

I wasn't expecting a tearful reunion,

but still,

I wasn't expecting to be treated this coldly.

Aren't you even curious how I've been all this time?

Have you

been well?

How could I have been?

A child can leave the nest and live well,

but a parent

can't do that so easily.

Can you still

not be alone when it rains?

It started after that accident when you were a child, right?

You started trembling every time it rained.

Because of you, even when I was in the US,

whenever I heard it was raining in Korea,

I would get so worried.

You

will never understand how a mother feels.

The person who saved me from that accident...

Was it really you?

Kiddo, stay with me. Kiddo.

Sweetie, are you awake?

Thank goodness.

My baby.

Mommy was so worried.

What about the man?

A man?

A man saved me.

He promised he would save me.

My poor baby, you must have been dreaming.

- No, I saw him. - It was me.

I'm the one who found you, Ji An.

You were the one who saved me?

Of course. I'm your mother.

If it wasn't me

besides me, your mother,

who would risk their life for you?

Right?

You're lying.

How long were you going to lie to me?

You weren't the one who saved me that day.

So you remember it all.

Why did you lie about it?

- Why? - It was for you.

Not for yourself?

To a seven-year-old child,

how could I say that someone died trying to save you?

Especially when

the accident happened because of you.

Hey, kid,

this is a very dangerous scene to film.

- It's not that simple... - I still want to do it.

I can do it.

If you hadn't been so stubborn that day,

the accident wouldn't have happened,

and that man wouldn't have died saving you.

But what mother in the world

could tell her own child such a cruel truth?

That man, Cha Eun Hwan...

He doesn't know about this yet, does he?

Good.

He must never find out.

How devastated would he be?

His own father died because of you.

My daughter,

it has been hard for you without me, hasn't it?

You do not have to worry anymore.

Your mother is here now.

("And Her Mother Will Be The CEO To Manage All Activities")

That is absolutely out of the question.

And why is that?

A film has a set story.

You think one can just change screen time

to suit their own tastes?

Why not?

You think of this film

as a work of art, don't you, Director?

But art is only art if it sells.

If it does not sell, what is it but trash?

Listen here, Yu Ji An's mother.

Let's think about this rationally.

In the current situation, whose name

will help make this film a box office hit?

Han Yi Jin's first-ever leading role?

Or Yu Ji An's first comeback after her scandal?

- It would be Yu Ji An, wouldn't it? - Director Kang.

Come on, it is a fact.

The answer is already right there.

Why is he struggling with it so much?

Surely you are not using

other people's money for your art

just to satisfy your own ego, are you?

I cannot give you much time.

Let me know by tomorrow whether you

are going to increase our Ji An's screen time,

or not.

Ha Yul's mom, you have a visitor.

Who is it?

Ji An, where are you?

Why are you not answering your phone?

I had something to take care of.

Why? Is something wrong?

How could you do this without even discussing it with me?

Why would I need to discuss it with you?

The outcome would have been the same even if I had discussed it.

This is Yi Jin's first leading role in the ten years since her debut.

- But to do this... - What business is that of yours?

Who on earth ruined you like this while I was gone?

I told you, didn't I?

Once your status is set, it is hard to change.

After everything I have done to get you to this point,

you are going to play second fiddle to the likes of Yi Jin?

Listen carefully.

If you want to live the rest of your life

as the top star Yu Ji An,

stop caring about what other people feel.

Only think about yourself.

Everyone else is just your competition.

Hey, Yi Jin.

I heard from Director Kang.

This again? It is always the same with you.

- This is a misunderstanding... - A misunderstanding?

What misunderstanding?

You were always like this, even when we were idols.

If there was anything even slightly good,

be it an outfit, a song, or an opportunity,

you always snatched it away.

I thought you had changed a little, but...

I guess people do not change that easily, do they?

The money I gave Mi Jeong was really for her hospital bills.

The reason I was in touch with her

was because I was trying to persuade her somehow.

And as for what happened with the CEO Noh...

You are right.

- I did it on purpose to screw you. - Han Yi Jin.

You always take what is mine without a second thought.

I absolutely despised you for it.

I wish you would just

disappear from my life.

("And Her Mother Will Be The CEO To Manage All Activities")

("Actress Yu Ji An Will Start Her Activities...")

A long-term exclusive contract?

You can't let that child dictate things forever.

If you do this one thing for me,

I'll entrust her entire management to you,

for the rest of Ji An's career in this industry.

You know how she is.

If I tell Ji An to die,

she's the kind of girl who would even pretend to.

So what are you asking to do?

To give you what you want,

I have to get what I want first.

Whatever it takes...

Make Ji An come back to me.

She lures in me minding my own business,

and makes a fool out of me.

And she thinks she can get a happy ending all by herself?

That would just be unfair to me.

Have you been well?

It's been a while, Mr. Cha. What brings you here?

I was wondering how Seon Woo was doing,

so I thought I'd stop by.

Please have a seat.

But I have a feeling Seon Woo is just an excuse,

and that you're really here to ask about someone else.

Is she doing all right?

Actually, I was just about to contact you

about Ji An, Mr. Cha.

Is something wrong?

Something's off with Ji An.

She can't focus on set,

and her emotional scenes aren't what they used to be.

More than anything...

She seems very fragile.

To be honest,

because of the recent issue with her mother,

I wasn't feeling too great about Ji An either,

but now I just feel sorry for her.

I'm worried something might happen to her if she keeps this up.

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid she'll show up again and ruin my life.

I'm afraid I'll go back as the person I was.

- Hello. - Hello.

Of course.

There's no way he would be here.
