Episode 7
Episode 7 of Our Movie begins with a scene in the 'Love in White' remake. Da-eum's Gyu-won is trying to convince Jung-woo's Hyun-sang that he loves her. Je-ha reimagines it with him in the scene. He accepts that he may feel for Da-eum but he doesn't think it is love. He is not worthy of love.
At present. Seo-yeong pushes Da-eum for an answer. Eun-ho pops up and the women claim they are rehearsing. Eun-ho offers to drive Da-eum home.
Nearby, Seung-won taunts Je-ha about his relationship with Da-eum and threatens to turn it into a scandal. Je-ha simply claims that he is a director hanging out with his actor. They run into Eun-ho taking Da-eum home and Seung-won simply smirks as Je-ha looks jealous. However, Da-eum takes the cab alone.
At home, Da-eum confides in Gyu-young that she doesn't feel any spark for Eun-ho anymore. Gyu-young teases her with her mystery kisser and Da-eum gets flustered.
During a meeting, Je-ha groups Da-eum's scenes and tightens her schedule. AD Hong finds it unfair but Seung-won supports the move even though he uses it to take a shot at Da-eum.
Elsewhere, Agent Go meets with Reporter Noh to find dirt on Da-eum. An annoyed Seo-yeong claims this isn't the way to win Da-eum over but Go doesn't care.
Je-ha and Da-eum are about to meet when Eun-ho asks her out for a meal. She brings him along to her lunch with Je-ha and it is awkward. Afterwards, Eun-ho tries to ask her out properly but she runs off. She goes back to Je-ha and takes him to see a movie.
She wants him to take breaks during his busy schedule and he thanks her. They start daydreaming and laughing about their movie's press junkets and the award season. She comments that she is happy with their current dynamic but it isn't wholly true.
Alone, Je-ha decides to visit Jin-yeo. He finally asks her to explain the plagiarism fiasco. She poses the question of why 'Love in White' was his father's last film. She also reveals that she wasn't his mistress or his muse.
Reporter Noh goes to Hankuk University and asks about Da-eum. He then visits Gyu-young but she runs off. He tells Go that everyone around Da-eum is evasive and that he is going to visit Dr Lee next.
It is Day 1 of filming. Da-eum has fun as she records the prep. Je-ha is nervous and she goofs around to distract him. Jae-in comes across Eun-ho and tries to ask about Da-eum but he deflects. Investor Han arrives and claims he is there to learn filmmaking.
Eun-ho is setting up the camera nearby and observes Da-eum's interactions. She helps AD Hong with the IV props. Jae-in is playing her nurse and is rude to her as usual. And Makeup Artist Jo cheers her up.
Before the take, Je-ha helps her relax, advising her to think like Gyu-won. Seeing the realistic set which reminds her of her own hospital room, Da-eum is able to get into the mood.
Each scene is quite similar to Da-eum's own experiences. With Je-ha's direction and tips from the cast and crew, she is able to do well. Investor Han jokingly asks if she is actually sick since her acting is too realistic. At this, Seung-won looks suspicious.
During lunch break, both Eun-ho and Je-ha try to sit with Da-eum. She welcomes them both while Jae-in watches with envy. Her camera glitches and Eun-ho offers to help fix it. He finds several recordings of Je-ha. He doubles up on his wooing efforts and decides to call her after the shooting is complete.
Later, Je-ha hangs out with Hyun-chul, the veteran actor playing Gyu-won's father. Turns out, he is the hero in the original movie. They talk about it and Hyun-chul reveals that Jin-yeo was always curious about Je-ha. And that Du-young would often talk about his wife.
Ms Jo apologises to Cameraman Cheol-min for her drunken antics which amuses him. She wants to buy him a jacket for burning his last one and he turns it into a date.
After Day 1's wrap, Jae-in joins Eun-ho and a couple of crew members in the hotel lobby. We learn that she is an influencer while Eun-ho is leaving after this schedule. She brings up Da-eum and Je-ha's relationship and Eun-ho stops her.
By the pool, Jun-byoung finds Agent Hong working. She tries to shoo him away but he shares his umbrella as it starts raining. She seems to warm up to him as he jokes around.
Je-ha is going to see Da-eum for the next scenes. He overhears Eun-ho scolding Jae-in for spreading rumours such as Da-eum sleeping with Je-ha to get the role. She wonders if he likes Da-eum and he says yes.
Je-ha recalls all the people asking about his relationship with Da-eum. He wonders if he can accept them as surely as Eun-ho.
At the end of Our Movie Episode 7, Seo-yeong shows up in Da-eum's hotel room. She tries to take a 'prop' pill and Da-eum instantly stops her. This pretty much confirms Seo-yeong's suspicions. On cue, Je-ha shows up. Having had enough, Seo-yeong demands answers. She points out that she has constantly helped cover Da-eum's secret; they owe her. Da-eum finally confesses that she has 4 months left.
The Episode Review
After the last few episodes which didn't do any favours to Jeon Yeon-been and Namkoong Min's characters, Our Movie Episode 7 seems to be getting the show slightly back on track by focusing on the plot.
The shooting has begun, scandalous rumours are abound, Da-eum's secret is revealed, and the antagonists are doing their best to ruin the heroine. There is a love pentagon involving almost every major character. The supporting characters, like the crew members, are getting their own little love stories as well. All of this is enough to keep the viewers watching at least this weekend's episodes.
However, the characterizations of Je-ha, Seo-yeong and Seung-won are still all over the place. The K-drama probably wants to keep them vague to add a sense of suspense. But since this is the second half of the show, we should have been able to get a clear read on them by now, like the way Da-eum feels like a complete individual.
Seung-won genuinely supports Je-ha but Seo Hyun-Woo constantly plays him as the shady and selfish producer. The same goes for Lee Seol whose Seo-yeong seems to flout the 'women-beware-women' trope, yet she provides the most challenges to Da-eum.
As for Je-ha, it is not looking good for him. He is finally starting to accept his feelings and this should be his redemption arc. Yet Namkoong plays him as cold and selfish, acting jealous and clingy even though he knows about the rumours.
Da-eum's talent that Je-ha values so much is being questioned because she is being accused of sleeping to the top. And now he knows how dangerous rumours can be after learning that the rumour of Du-young and Jin-yeo's affair is false. Eun-ho says the same. So, why is Je-ha ruining Da-eum's reputation if he has already declared that he won't cross the line between them?
