## Part I — Series bible

### Logline
When Ha-eun discovers that the man she loves has been lying about his love for years — faking devotion out of guilt and obligation — she walks away, and Ji-hoon must face the devastating truth that he only realizes he truly loves her after he loses her.

### Character bible (short)
- **HA-EUN (26)** — warm, trusting, quietly strong. A café owner who gave everything to the relationship. Her hidden strength: she can rebuild her life alone. External goal: to be loved honestly. Internal need: to believe she is enough.
- **JI-HOON (28)** — handsome, successful, emotionally closed. He entered the relationship out of guilt (he caused a past accident that hurt her family) and has been "acting" love ever since. External goal: to keep her (out of guilt). Internal need: to actually feel and admit his love.
- **SOO-AH (27)** — Ji-hoon's ex / the one who knows his secret. Early antagonist who exposes the lie.
- **MOTHER (50s)** — Ha-eun's mother, the emotional anchor; her illness is the hidden reason Ha-eun needs stability.

### Antagonist ladder
- early_antagonist: SOO-AH — exposes Ji-hoon's lie, drives the breakup.
- middle_antagonist: Ji-hoon's own guilt + a business rival who uses the scandal.
- final_antagonist: the buried truth of the past accident that made Ji-hoon lie in the first place.

### Hook rules and limits
- Every episode ends on an emotional hook (a truth revealed, a door closed, a confession almost made).
- The "lie" is the engine: each episode peels one layer of why Ji-hoon lied.
- No fantasy; grounded, tear-jerking, view-friendly emotional beats.

### Episodes 6–20 beat outline

## Part II — Script body

### Episode 1

#### Scene 1-1 INT DAY — Ha-eun's Café
**CAST:** HA-EUN, JI-HOON

Morning light. HA-EUN wipes tables, humming. JI-HOON sits by the window, scrolling his phone, barely looking up. Ha-eun brings him coffee, kisses his cheek.

HA-EUN
You didn't sleep again. You work too hard, Ji-hoon.

JI-HOON
(flat, not meeting her eyes)
Mm. Thanks.

Ha-eun's smile falters for a second, then she forces it back.

HA-EUN
(soft)
I made your favorite. Strawberry cream.

JI-HOON
(glancing at phone)
Right.

He takes a sip without tasting it. Ha-eun watches him, a small hurt flickering in her eyes.
