Love in Sync (공감세포)

Ha Yul, we're out of time.

Wash up quickly and wear the clothes Daddy laid out for you...

Of course you wouldn't just put them on.

Okay. Fine, good.

Let's at least take off the crown.

No. A princess has to wear a crown.

Right now, you look more like a clown than a princess.

Then at least take off the dress.

Who goes to kindergarten dressed like this?

I do. - People will judge me.

But I'm not the one they'll be judging.

What's this? Is someone moving in across the hall?

It's been empty for years.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay? - Oh, I'm fine...

You're... - What are you doing here?

Miss, where should I put this?

Don't tell me you're moving in across the hall.

Dad, what are you doing? We're late.

Okay.

Dad?

Seriously? Of all the places in Seoul, why my neighborhood?

Why did it have to be right across the hall? This is so awkward.

Dad, what are you doing?

We're late. - Dad?

Who cares if she misunderstands?

What? "Dad?"

He's a married man, and he pretended to be single so perfectly...

Well, he never actually said he was married.

Right.

Ji An, are you okay? - I can't breathe.

Look at me. Look into my eyes.

Okay, now just do what I do. All right?

What's your deal, mister? Are you Yu Ji An's lawyer or something?

No, I'm a counselor.

Why won't this box open?

Oh my, you're here?

Isn't today your hospital appointment?

I wasn't feeling well, so I postponed it.

But what brings you here?

I thought I'd do some cleaning while you were out...

I thought I asked you to leave this room alone.

But I'm paid to do this, how can I not?

I'll just tidy up a bit, so you get back to work.

I searched everywhere, her room and her studio,

but it looks like she's serious this time. It's completely clean.

Not a single soju bottle, not even a cider bottle that looks like one.

Really? That's a relief.

So you can relax, sir.

After all the trouble she went through for treatment,

there's no way her darn drinking problem will relapse, right?

Even if she didn't raise her, she's still her mother.

She'll get through this for the kid's sake.

Yes, but just in case,

please keep checking on her from time to time.

Okay.

Yes.

Sir, mail's from the Association. - From the Association?

Yes.

I wasn't expecting anything.

Don't tell me you've been referred to the Disciplinary Committee.

No, no. What could you have possibly done wrong, sir?

The boiler's broken on the very first day?

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

It's cold.

I wonder if she finished moving in okay.

It's none of my business.

Are you okay? Are you hurt? - It's cold.

It's so cold.

Huh?

First, let's go to my place.

It's warm tea. Have some.

So, while you were moving, the gas and the electricity...

You didn't transfer all of them?

It's not that I didn't know.

I was so busy that I forgot.

I thought she wasn't working these days.

Publicly, that might be true, but personally, not at all.

I've been incredibly busy.

Getting fired from shows, getting scammed,

and being humiliated.

Can you hear my thoughts, by any chance?

What?

No, I'm sure I only thought that and didn't say it out loud.

But you keep reading my mind.

Well, actually, I also...

Dad, I'm hungry.

Ha Yul, you're awake?

What are you staring at?

What? Never seen a pretty girl before?

Lady.

Auntie.

And now, the delicious curry is served.

Are you sure you'll be okay not eating?

I haven't eaten carbs after 6pm since I was 12.

I'm more used to skipping meals than eating,

so don't mind me and eat.

But you should have something in your stomach when it's cold.

Well, should we dig in then? - Yes, Dad.

Is it that bad?

I wanted yummy curry. Yummy curry.

You know, the thing about taste is,

it can just be that you're not used to it.

If you keep getting to know a flavor,

something you don't like can become delicious.

How about...

No, what if your auntie works some magic on the curry?

How are you such a good cook when you barely eat?

Because no one ever cooked for me.

So I wanted to at least cook for myself.

Even though I can't eat it.

I thought you'd be late. You finished up early.

She moved in across the hall today, but her boiler is broken.

So I told her to warm up here until the repairman comes.

Hello.

Hi.

Cha Eun Hwan.

What is going on?

Ji An, I'm sorry,

but could you please leave now?

What? Not done with my drink... - Just...

I'm just asking you to leave.

Fine. I'll leave. Happy now?

What's with him? He's the one who invited me in.

How annoying.

Yu Ji An?

What is she doing in our house?

I already told you.

She moved in across the hall by coincidence.

Coincidence? More like a curse.

Tell her to move out tomorrow. - Song Hwan.

On second thought. Let's move. It'll be faster.

Don't tell me...

You don't expect me to live here and see her every day, do you?

I can barely breathe just seeing her on TV for a second.

I get so furious that I'm going to lose my mind.

Do you still resent her that much? - And you don't?

It was just an accident. The kind that's nobody's fault.

I know, I know.

But that accident made us lose everything.

If it hadn't been for her, if that accident hadn't happened,

I wouldn't have been living like this.

My misery...

It feels like it's all her fault,

and the injustice is driving me insane.

It was my fault too.

You must be tired. Get some rest.

About the real estate office,

I'll stop by when I have time.

Those are the best terms our company can offer.

They don't exactly seem like the best.

I hear things, you know.

Why is it that the "best" for me and the "best" for Yu Ji An...

are in completely different leagues?

That's pretty upsetting.

Yi Jin.

Does any fool risk their life to win a neighborhood soccer game?

You save that for the international tournaments.

Right?

So you're saying I'm not in that league yet?

Fine. I'll sign the contract, Mr. Kim. But...

I have one more condition.

There isn't a single person in this industry...

who would sign you unless they are completely insane.

Who's going to want an actress whose reputation is in shambles?

If no one else will love me,

then I'll just have to love myself.

What? A one-person agency?

Yes.

I've been stuck in one place for years anyway.

So, both as Yu Ji An the person and as Yu Ji An the actress,

I've been feeling a little stagnant.

Now that things have turned out this way,

I want to use my own strength and my unique style...

to restart my acting career. - I see.

The honor of joining me for that brilliant new beginning...

I'm giving it to you.

What? - What?

What? Are you just so overjoyed that you're speechless?

No, it's just...

Hey, you say it first.

You started it, so you go first.

You go first. - Ever heard of ladies first?

In these uncertain times,

it's a bit much to ask us to switch companies just on your word.

For stylists like us, our resumes are built...

on the celebrities we work with.

You know I'm the breadwinner in my family, right?

I'm the sole provider for my mom back home and sibling's tuition...

I'm sorry.

Sir, you can't do that. - What do you mean, I can't?

Buy 1, get 1 free, right?

Why can't you give me the other? - The sale ended yesterday.

Then you should've taken the sign down.

Anyway, it's your mistake, so I'm taking this.

Sir, you can't. - What do you mean, I can't?

Excuse me.

Look over here. - What?

Sir, you know who I am, right? - How would I know who you are?

They say fame is fleeting.

You're Yu Ji An, right? Oh, my gosh.
