Yeonwoo made an unprecedented offer to Kim Hyunjin that was hard to refuse.
On the 20th, the drama "Lovephobia," released through Lifetime (written by Lee Se-ryeong, directed by Wang Hye-ryeong, produced by Wemad), in episode 2 featured Yoon Bia (played by Yeonwoo) stepping forward to acquire Han Seon-ho's (played by Kim Hyunjin) company, which was about to fall into the hands of loan sharks, setting off the full-scale development of the story.
Yesterday's episode 2 revealed the full story behind the incident that led Yoon Bia and Han Seon-ho to join forces and run. Han Seon-ho, upon hearing that his younger brother Han Baek-ho (played by Choi Byung-chan) had been deceived and lost money to the Formi second-generation model Park Jeong-won (played by Jung Soo-hwan), rushed straight to "It's You," rescued the collapsing and suffering Yoon Bia and took her away from the scene. Immediately after evacuating, Yoon Bia collapsed into Han Seon-ho's arms with a danger alarm on her smartwatch, and he carried her back safely to the CEO office. Seol Jae-hee (played by Jo Yoon-seo), who witnessed this scene, asked Han Seon-ho to keep Yoon Bia's collapse a secret, raising curiosity about what variable Bia's secret might play in the two's relationship.
Through a dream of Yoon Bia sleeping on the CEO office sofa, her past that led her to build walls against the world was revealed. As a high school student, Yoon Bia suspected an affair when she saw her mother Yang Seon-ae (played by Im Ji-eun) saying on the phone, "I want to see him soon though." They were going to visit her sick father together, but Seon-ae said she had somewhere to stop first and left Bia with a promise that she had something important to tell her, asking her to wait. But, as if by fate's trick, her father's condition suddenly worsened, and Seon-ae, who was rushing after hearing the bad news, was involved in a traffic accident with an unidentified middle-aged man and died. Yoon Bia's narration, "It was from that day that I decided to be alone," vividly showed the loneliness that made her isolate herself and evoked sympathy.
Meanwhile, "It's You" faced strong protests from investors over Park Jeong-won's stock manipulation case. When reporters captured Yoon Bia and Han Seon-ho running together and dating rumors erupted, Bia published an article admitting the relationship as a direct confrontation. After reading the article, Han Seon-ho immediately went to "It's You" to deny the relationship, but Yoon Bia didn't care and told Seol Jae-hee, "We just need to seize the advantage." Sensing that Park Jeong-won might hold leverage over Han Seon-ho, Yoon Bia had already instructed staff to locate Park Jeong-won and revealed plans to make Han Seon-ho a new prototype model.
Later, Yoon Bia wondered why she did not collapse despite being with someone for more than an hour. When she told her mother Yang Seon-ae, who had been realized as an AI a year earlier, about this, she was teased as the "destined partner," and strange feelings began to bud. Viewers grew eager to see what emotional ripples the presence of Han Seon-ho would cause in Yoon Bia's previously listless life.
In the latter part of the episode, after learning from Park Jeong-won why Han Seon-ho had pursued him and understanding the whole story, Yoon Bia went to find Han Seon-ho and Han Baek-ho, who were being threatened by loan sharks. Yoon Bia paid the loan sharks and acquired HAN agency, then presented the transfer contract to a stunned Han Seon-ho. When Han Seon-ho resisted, Seol Jae-hee produced a collaboration contract promising to return the agency after successfully completing Formi second-generation development. To the wary Han Seon-ho, Yoon Bia made a shocking ending-line offer: "Sell it to me. I'll buy it, you," issuing a strong alert of excitement to viewers at home.
