What To Expect In The Next Episodes
The show’s production team has given fans a hint of what to expect when the series returns. They stated that from Episode 11 onward, the main characters Lim Hyun-joon and Wi Jeong-sin will begin resolving their misunderstandings and move toward a deeper mutual understanding. This marks a significant shift in their relationship.
The last episode before the break, Episode 10, ended with major revelations. Wi Jeong-sin (played by Lim Ji-yeon) crashed the film set of Lim Hyun-joon (played by Lee Jung-jae). More importantly, both characters made a shocking discovery about their anonymous online friendship. Jeong-sin finally arranged to meet the person she knew online as “Melomaster,” believing him to be a soulful stranger. However, the man who showed up was the drama’s writer-director, Park Byung-gi, who had been pretending to be Hyun-joon. From a hiding spot, Hyun-joon watched this meeting unfold and was stunned to realize that the anonymous user “Soulishere,” with whom he had shared intimate thoughts, was actually Jeong-sin all along.
The production team shared, โFrom Episode 11 onward, Hyun Jun and Jung Shin begin resolving misunderstandings and move toward deeper mutual understanding. We hope viewers will look forward to this new phase of their relationship.โ
This sets the stage for Episodes 11 and 12 to deal with the aftermath of this discovery. Viewers can expect awkward confrontations, honest conversations, and a new dynamic between the two leads as their real-world rivalry and their secret online connection finally collide.

Where The Story Left Off Before The Break
The series follows Lim Hyun-joon, a top actor famous for playing a righteous detective but who feels typecast and longs for more versatile roles. His life changes when he meets Wi Jeong-sin, an award-winning political journalist who is forcefully demoted to the entertainment news desk. Their first meeting was a disaster, involving a major red carpet misunderstanding. Jeong-sin then wrote an exposรฉ about Hyun-joon, creating a bitter rivalry between them.
Despite their professional clashes, they unknowingly formed a close bond as anonymous friends on a secondhand marketplace app. Hyun-joon, using the nickname “Melomaster,” and Jeong-sin, as “Soulishere,” confided in each other about their lives and struggles without knowing each other’s true identities. This online friendship became a source of genuine comfort for both characters, even as they continued to spar in person.
Other storylines are also in play. Former baseball star and sports company CEO Lee Jae-hyung (played by Kim Ji-hoon) has shown a clear romantic interest in Jeong-sin. Meanwhile, entertainment editor Yoon Hwa-young (played by Seo Ji-hye) has expressed a desire to reconcile with Jae-hyung, suggesting a potential love triangle. Tension also brews in the business side of entertainment, with hints of a possible agency merger involving Hyun-joon and his ex, global superstar Kwon Se-na (played by Oh Yeon-seo).
The one-week break was announced by the production team with the specific goal of enhancing the overall quality of the series for its remaining episodes. The show, which premiered on November 3, 2025, has performed well in its time slot, consistently ranking first among cable programs in Seoul. The cast, led by celebrated actors Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon, brings significant star power to this mix of industry satire and romantic comedy.
