Episode 7 of "Our Movie" kicks off with an enchanting sequence from the remake of "Love in White," where Gyu-won, portrayed by Da-eum, endeavors to persuade Hyun-sang, embodied by Jung-woo, of his heartfelt affections. Je-ha, lost in reverie, casts himself in the role, acknowledging a potential emotional stirring for Da-eum yet dismissing it as love, believing himself unworthy of such a sentiment in his current state.
In the midst of this reflective moment, Seo-yeong presses Da-eum for a response, only to be interrupted by Eun-ho's sudden appearance. The ladies hastily claim they were rehearsing, and Eun-ho graciously offers to escort Da-eum home. Nearby, Seung-won mocks Je-ha about his supposed romance with Da-eum, hinting at exposing this liaison as a scandal. Je-ha, with feigned nonchalance, brushes it off as a director casually spending time with his actress. Their encounter with Eun-ho escorting Da-eum amplifies Je-ha's perceived jealousy, as observed by Seung-won's smug smile; however, Da-eum opts to take a cab alone.
At her abode, Da-eum confides in Gyu-young, admitting she no longer feels any spark towards Eun-ho. Gyu-young teases her about her mysterious kisser, leaving Da-eum visibly flustered.
Meanwhile, during a meeting, Je-ha groups Da-eum's scenes together and tightens her schedule, a move AD Hong deems unfair. Seung-won, though supportive of Je-ha's decision, uses it as an opportunity to subtly criticize Da-eum.
Elsewhere, Agent Go conspires with Reporter Noh to dig up dirt on Da-eum. Seo-yeong, exasperated, argues that this isn't the way to win Da-eum's heart, but Go remains unperturbed.As Je-ha and Da-eum were on the verge of reconvening, Eun-ho interrupted with an impromptu lunch invitation. She, somewhat reluctantly, included him in her planned luncheon with Je-ha, creating an atmosphere thick with awkwardness. Following their meal, Eun-ho attempted to court her properly, yet she scurried away. Seeking solace, she returned to Je-ha's side, leading him to a cinema for some respite. She urged him to take breaks from his relentless schedule, to which he expressed gratitude. Together, they indulged in fantastical conversations and hearty laughter, reminiscing about hypothetical movie premieres and awards ceremonies. Though she feigned contentment with their current rapport, her words rang hollow.
In a moment of solitude, Je-ha made a decision to confront Jin-yeo, finally demanding clarification regarding the plagiarism scandal. She countered by posing a probing question: why "Love in White" served as his father's swan song. Furthermore, she clarified that she was neither his mistress nor his muse.
Meanwhile, Reporter Noh embarked on an investigative mission, first venturing to Hankuk University to inquire about Da-eum. He subsequently sought out Gyu-young, only to have her flee the scene. He confided in Go, expressing his frustration at the evasiveness surrounding Da-eum and his intention to visit Dr. Lee next.
The inaugural day of filming dawned. Da-eum immersed herself in the joys of pre-production, her spirits high. Je-ha, on the other hand, was consumed by nerves, prompting her to engage in playful antics to ease his tension. Jae-in crossed paths with Eun-ho, intending to probe about Da-eum, but Eun-ho adeptly sidestepped the conversation. Investor Han made an entrance, professing a desire to learn the ropes of filmmaking.
Nearby, Eun-ho busied himself with camera setups, observing Da-eum's interactions with the crew. She lent a helping hand to AD Hong with the intravenous props, while Jae-in, portraying her nurse, treated her with his usual disdain. Fortunately, Makeup Artist Jo lifted her spirits.
Prior to the take, Je-ha coached her to relax, urging her to channel her inner Gyu-won. The realistic set, reminiscent of her hospital room, served as a catalyst, enabling Da-eum to fully immerse herself in the moment.
Each scene bears an uncanny resemblance to Da-eum's personal experiences, and under Je-ha's adept direction, coupled with invaluable tips from the cast and crew, her portrayal shines with authenticity. Investor Han, half-joking, wonders aloud if she might actually be ill, given the raw realism of her performance, which piques Seung-won's suspicion.
During the lunch break, both Eun-ho and Je-ha make a concerted effort to sit alongside Da-eum, whom they warmly greet. Jae-in observes this scene with a pang of envy, her camera malfunctioning at an inopportune moment. Eun-ho steps in to assist, discovering several recordings of Je-ha in the process. Emboldened by his burgeoning affection, he resolves to redouble his efforts and call her once filming concludes.
Later, Je-ha bonds with Hyun-chul, the seasoned actor portraying Gyu-won's father and the protagonist of the original movie. Their conversation delves into nostalgia, with Hyun-chul revealing that Jin-yeo was always inquisitive about Je-ha and that Du-young frequently reminisced about his wife.
Ms. Jo, with a sheepish smile, apologizes to Cameraman Cheol-min for her intoxicated antics earlier, amusing him immensely. Seeking redemption, she offers to buy him a new jacket for accidentally burning his last one, which he playfully turns into an invitation for a date.
As Day 1 of shooting wraps up, Jae-in joins Eun-ho and a few crew members in the hotel lobby. It transpires that she is an influencer, while Eun-ho prepares to depart after this schedule. When she casually mentions Da-eum and Je-ha's burgeoning relationship, Eun-ho swiftly interrupts, sensing potential complications.
By the poolside, Jun-byoung stumbles upon Agent Hong diligently at work. Initially attempting to shoo him away, she softens as he shares his umbrella when the heavens open up. His playful banter seems to win her over, their camaraderie blossoming amidst the rain.
Je-ha is about to rendezvous with Da-eum for their upcoming scenes when he inadvertently overhears Eun-ho reprimanding Jae-in for disseminating malicious rumors, namely that Da-eum slept with Je-ha to secure her role. Intrigued, he ponders whether Eun-ho suspects his feelings for Da-eum, to which he admits an affirmative. Je-ha's mind wanders back to the myriad inquiries about his relationship with Da-eum, and he wonders if he can embrace their romance as unreservedly as Eun-ho seems to.
The seventh episode of "Our Movie" concludes on a tense note as Seo-yeong barges into Da-eum's hotel room. Reaching for what appears to be a "prop" pill, she is swiftly halted by Da-eum, thereby affirming Seo-yeong's worst suspicions. At this pivotal moment, Je-ha enters the scene. Exasperated, Seo-yeong demands explanations, highlighting her relentless efforts to conceal Da-eum's secrets and insisting that they owe her a debt of gratitude. In a moment of stark honesty, Da-eum confesses, her voice heavy with unspoken sorrow, that she has but four months left.
