The first day of shooting is finally here. Je-ha feels uneasy watching Eun-ho lingering near Da-eum.

Da-eum reveals her illness to Seo-young. Tensions spill onto the set, where truth and fiction blur.

Je-ha finally confesses his feelings to Da-eum — and at last, the two confirm their love for each other. Je-ha, who once insisted there's no love in their film, begins rewriting the script. But then, a slanderous article by Noh breaks, with rumors of a scandal between Je-ha and Da-eum and accusations that the casting process was rigged. The public is in uproar, and cold stares follow Je-ha and Da-eum even on set. Unrelenting, Da-eum still gives it her all. Mr. Han threatens to pull his investments to pressure Seung-won. Je-ha suggests releasing Da-eum's audition video to win back the public's hearts, though Seung-won tells him to be patient, as it's not something that can be fixed overnight. But Je-ha snaps back: There is no time. Didn't he already know that Da-eum is terminally ill?
