Love in Sync (공감세포)

Hey, our Yu Star. Yu Star.

Ji An, are you okay?

You're not hurt, are you? You're completely fine, right?

At least, I was until you got here.

Can't you see?

I told you not to call him.

- Hey, Manager Kim. - Yes.

Contact the legal team right away,

and tell them to sue Millennium Bodhisattva,

or Mental Care punk, or whatever his name is.

- Understood. - No, a lawsuit is a bit much.

I'm really fine. I'm perfectly all right.

It was an accident. Don't overreact.

How do you know if it was an accident or on purpose?

You were right. You should not trust people.

Before he goes and spreads nasty rumours about you,

- we need to strike first. - He's not like that.

Why?

What?

Was that a line from a script, "He's not like that?"

I know, right? Coming from you, who distrusts everyone,

that's not a line I ever expected to hear.

No. Well... I mean...

I just don't want things to get complicated.

Can't you see?

What did I tell you? I said that therapist can draw out emotions

that a person has suppressed without even realising it.

I can't believe that brat had such humanity

suppressed in her subconscious. That Bodhisattva is the real deal.

I wonder if she's okay.

I wonder if she's okay.

What was that just now?

Hey.

Hey.

Did you just ask me if I was okay?

I was the one sleeping,

so why are you the one talking in your sleep?

You didn't ask if I was okay?

I can see you're fine with my own two eyes, so why would I ask?

It's not like we're that close anyway.

Why are you here? Go sleep at your own place.

I'd love to.

But you know, it's raining outside...

Has it stopped?

If you want me to leave, I'll gladly do as you wish.

Stay.

You're not a child. Why can't you be alone just because it's raining?

A fear that responds to a specific condition

is a conditioned trigger response. A form of trauma.

In your childhood,

did you ever experience a major accident?

He's good, I'll give him that.

Oh, it hurts.

Oh, it hurts.

Be gentle.

Stop being a baby.

I said it hurts.

Of course it hurts, you punk. Your back is a complete mess.

What in the world happened to you?

Hey, say something. Stop driving me crazy.

It was just something.

- So what is this "something?" - I said, it was just something.

- Did you get in a fight? - No.

- Oh, you got beaten up. - No, I didn't.

- You so got beaten up. - I said no.

How many hits did you take and how much money did they get?

- Is it a penny a punch? - I told you, no.

As a member of her fan club, all you have to do is be grateful to me.

- Did you get hit in the head? - Seriously.

Gosh. This punk. Oh, right.

Has this guy been a sucker his whole life?

Seriously, what is this? Darn it.

Hey, here... Can't you see this spilled coffee?

What are you even wiping? You're not going to clean this up?

I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm telling you, okay?

That idiot wired 50,000 dollars straight to my bank account.

How can there be so many dumb asses in the world?

Gosh. What are you talking about? It's not fraud.

- Unbelievable. - Please, please, just a minute.

- I'm so sick of this. - Wait.

Please, please give me my money back. I'm begging you, please.

Seriously, darn it.

This is driving me crazy.

I told you not to come. I told you not to come.

Did I tell you or not? Huh?

Why do you keep coming here and bothering me?

It's gone. It's gone. I told you, it's gone, you moron.

Is this woman insane? Darn it.

Gosh, this punk... I said I didn't do wrong.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Okay, I get it. Gosh.

I had to beg Director Kang to get this meeting, so

don't say anything snarky.

- I get it. - And don't lose your temper.

- I said I get it. - Be sweet when you answer,

and be as sincere as you can.

I said I get it.

Hey, when's your next therapy session scheduled?

You have so much love for humanity in that subconscious of yours.

Do we really have to have this meeting?

Gosh, this girl...

You're not grasping the situation.

Do you not know who Director Moon is?

Of course, I know who he is. He's a master of Korean cinema.

Every movie he makes is a guaranteed blockbuster.

Every actor who works with him

ends up winning awards at festivals at home and abroad.

He's a deity when it comes to directing actors.

You talked my ear off about it on the way here.

So you do know.

But sucking up to people and acting all cute isn't my style.

Hey, it's not like I enjoy catering to your every whim either.

Listen carefully. This is a critical time for you.

You're almost 30. Your days of getting by on looks are numbered.

Every day, younger and prettier girls

are going to be coming up behind you.

Do you really think you can survive in this industry?

If you don't transition from being the star Yu Ji An

to the actress Yu Ji An right now,

your career as a celebrity won't last much longer.

Remember that.

- I hope you remember too, sir. - What's that?

That I haven't signed my contract renewal yet.

Hello.

Sorry.

Well, this is an interesting situation.

I didn't know Director Moon had invited Han Yi Jin,

and I invited you two without him knowing.

Right, well.

Please, sit. Ji An, have a seat.

I read the screenplay you sent over,

and it looks like you have another masterpiece on your hands.

Is that so?

Now we just need to get the casting right.

Our Ji An here is a huge fan of your work, Director.

Yes.

Really? That's surprising.

Which of my films in particular?

Well...

"The Solitary Island?"

What did you like about it?

How should I put it?

I guess it was the desperation of someone

trying to survive against all odds.

No. It was not about desperation.

It's a desire.

The ugly desire of a human who'd trample

over everyone else just to survive.

For people like you, Yu Ji An,

it might be difficult to interpret.

Art is open to interpretation, after all. Yes.

Let's not waste any more of our precious time.

Let's get straight to the point.

I have no intention of casting Yu Ji An

in my movie whatsoever.

Director Moon.

Director, let's not be so definitive.

Your acting style, Yu Ji An, is exactly what I despise.

A kid who's never truly experienced life

cries and laughs with acting skills bought with money...

There is no sincerity at your acting.

Director.

Do you have a crush on me?

Ji An, are you crazy?

No, it's just he seems to know so much about me.

If that isn't love, what is?

Even haters need to have some affection to do what they do.

As someone who used to have a million haters, I would know.

Ji An, that's enough.

You're right about everything, Director.

As a star, I have fame and money,

so now I'm getting greedy for the title of "serious actress."

But you don't have to worry.

Because I have no intention of being cast in your movie

either.

And why is that?

Why would I trust a pretentious director

who doesn't even know what his own movie is about?

That movie, "The Solitary Island..."

It is about desperation.

How is becoming vile just to survive an "ugly desire?"

It's a darn miserable desperation.

But for a director who was born rich,

and has lived as a rich man his whole life,

I guess that desperation could seem ugly.

They call you the Crown Prince of the film industry, right?

Since you're so bourgeois.

What would someone like that know about desperation?

What a jerk.

Hey, Ji An. What is wrong with you?

Well, it seems like we've both laid all our cards on the table.

I'll be taking my leave now.

Hey, hey, Ji An.

Hey, Yu Ji An.

Hey.

She's quite interesting.

Right, Director Moon?

Hey, Yu Star.

Hey, you, I...
