Synopsis:
It is about a top actress who becomes another person once a month and a top executive who suffers from prosopagnosia, meaning he doesn’t recognise people’s faces.
Episode 1-2
Han Se Gye was in the middle of receiving an award when she felt the onset of a change. She could not really stay to receive her award and had no choice but run as fast as she could. Thank goodness she made it as this particular persona is not very winsome. it was a fat bloke.
As she was living inside his body, Han Se Gye had to lie low at least for a week.
Her running off from the award ceremony had a very negative effect in her career especially in her product endorsements including that of being the face of the airline owned by Seo Do Jae.
For a damage limitation, Seo Do Jae made her accompany him to launch an airplane as the official endorser.
During the flight, Han Se Gye had one of the physical changes. She turned into another woman, an older woman.
Seo Do Jae helped her by covering her with a blanket. He does not really ‘see’ her new look but did notice the difference of her gait, voice, and expression.
Episode 3
Kang Sa Ra works at the airline as well. She is the stepsister of Seo Do Jae who has some self-confidence issue.
She does not know that Seo Do Jae has face blindness. But she suspects that there is something wrong and always on the lookout of his weakness. She wanted to get his position in the company.
The episode ended with Seo Do Jae asking Han Se Gye to sleep with him.
Huh?!!!
The guy is too sure of himself. You ask her to date first at least!
Episode 4
Seo Do Jae wanted her to sleep with him in the literal sense so that he could see her change. He thought that if she sleeps next to him she will metamorphose the way she did when they were sitting next to each other during a flight.
Seo Do Jae and Han Se Gye are getting closer because of their shared ‘abnormalities’. They created a contract between them to adhere to, which means they had to watch each other back.
