Chapter one: LOST IN TRANSLATION
A man with a job interpreting other languages meets a woman who speaks love in a completely opposite way to him, but they understand each other.
The Hook: We meet Joo Ho-jin, a brilliant but stressed interpreter who can navigate five languages but fails to understand his own dating life.
The Inciting Incident: He is hired to be the personal translator for Cha Moo-hee, a world-famous actress known for being "difficult."
The Conflict: Their first meeting is a disaster. She uses slang, metaphors, and sarcasm that don't translate literally, leading to a massive public misunderstanding.
Chapter two:THE RED CARPET BARRIER
Development: Ho-jin travels with Moo-hee to a global film festival. He begins to realize her "diva" persona is a shield for her loneliness.
The Twist: Ho-jin realizes he isn't just translating her words for the world; he has to translate the world's harshness for her.
Key Moment: A quiet, late-night scene where they share a meal, and for the first time, they speak "the same language."
Chapter three:FALSE COGNATES
The Complication: A second lead (likely a rival actor or a former flame) enters the picture.
The Misunderstanding: Moo-hee expresses affection in a roundabout way that Ho-jin interprets as professional praise.
Theme: The frustration of being "polyglot in speech but illiterate in heart."
Chapter four: THE SUBTEXT OF LOVE
The Climax: A scandal breaks out. Ho-jin has to choose between his professional integrity and protecting Moo-hee.
The Breakthrough: During a high-stakes press conference, Ho-jin goes off-script. He stops translating her literal words and starts translating her intent, saving her career.
The Confession: They realize that love doesn't need a dictionary.
