Next to them are the same movie scenarios. You can predict what they are thinking by looking at their faces. Production is half-way and the two are having a long conversation about what to shoot today as they are headed to the set. At the set, they are talking with the actors and giving acting directions. In the process, Sunwoo and Ikjune experience various feelings about love, either individually or together.
