Highlights from Episodes 1-2
From Da-rim’s heartbreak over being excluded from her sister’s wedding, to the jaw-dropping cliff rescue, every scene delivers emotional punches and comedic finesse. Here’s what made these episodes sparkle:
- Da-rim’s encounter with her ex-schoolmate (and ex-boyfriend Kim Jeong-ghawn) spurs her to spin a fake boyfriend tale—enter Ji-hyeok and a string of misunderstandings.
- The cliffside drama—where Da-rim mistakes Ji-hyeok’s solitude for suicidal intent—leads to a hospital trip and mounting bills, intensifying their love-hate dynamic.
- The breakfast scene: Da-rim and Ji-hyeok are thrust into a fake relationship in front of Da-rim’s humiliating ex. Both exploit the confusion for their own agendas, with Ji-hyeok angling to land a major developer for his company.
- At the party, Da-rim’s dazzling transformation and impulsive kiss leave her ex reeling, while Ji-hyeok starts to see her in a new light. Their first real kiss is sweetly awkward and beautifully staged.
- In Episode 2, Da-rim and Ji-hyeok’s staged romance escalates under the scrutiny of rivals and family. Despite external pressure and twists—including Da-rim’s mother’s medical emergency—the wild ride of mistaken identity and real feelings is only just beginning.
