What if you only had a few months left, but you still chased your biggest dream? SBS’s Our Movie quietly explores that idea through Lee Da-eum’s journey, brought to life by Jeon Yeo-bin’s tender, understated performance.
In Our Movie Episode 2, Jeon Yeo-bin plays Lee Da-eum in Our Movie. The show airs every Friday and Saturday on SBS. In the second episode, Da-eum lives with the knowledge that she’s going to die. And she accepts it. There’s no drama in how she talks about it. No panic. Just calm. She lives one day at a time.
Jeon Yeo-bin, known for her intense roles in Vincenzo and Be Melodramatic, softens her approach here. As Da-eum, she speaks more with her silences than words.
Da-eum has a rare disease. She got it from her mom. Her mom died from the same illness. Now Da-eum is following the same path. She says she found out about the disease at eight. Da-eum got sick at twenty. She knows what’s coming next.
Still, she doesn’t give up. Even though death is near, she keeps trying. Her dream is to be an actress. She holds on to that dream. It’s what keeps her going. She puts effort into every day, even as her body weakens. She finds meaning in small things. It’s not about chasing time. It’s about using what little time she has left. Her story feels real. There’s no dramatic music or big speeches. She just lives honestly. Her quiet strength is what makes her interesting. She doesn’t cry every minute. Da-eum doesn’t scream at the world. She moves forward. Step by step.
Lee Da-eum Fights for Her Dream in Our Movie Episode 2
In episode 2, Da-eum collapses during filming. It’s not a shock to her. She knew this might happen. She says it herself. “I didn’t hesitate, but I knew it would happen.” Her body is breaking down, but her mind is still focused.
Then we get a look into her past. She talks about her mother. Her mom was sick too. But Da-eum remembers her with mixed feelings. She says her mother wasn’t just a patient. She calls her “a strange patient.” It shows how illness can change people, and how those memories stay.
The episode also shifts focus to Lee Je-ha. He’s a film director. He’s remaking a famous movie called White Love, which his father made in the 90s. He wants to bring it back with a new look. A new voice. A modern feel. That’s where Da-eum steps in.
At first, she meets him as an advisor. He wants her input for the script. But later, Da-eum does something bold. She auditions for the lead role. Despite knowing her time is limited, she still dreams big. She wants to act in a real movie. Not just talk about it. She wants to leave something behind.
The audition scene is tense and focused on Lee Da-eum’s calm demeanor. Lee Je-ha watches closely, feeling the pressure. Producer Boo Seung-won doubts Da-eum, leading to conflict between him and Lee Je-ha. The story explores Da-eum’s illness, talent, judgment, and value, challenging perceptions of who deserves a chance in a skilled world.
The Gentle Power of Our Movie
Our Movie shows how people can live even when life feels short. Jeon Yeo-bin’s acting feels natural. She doesn’t try to make her role look dramatic or loud. She plays Da-eum with softness and calm. That’s what makes it powerful.
The show doesn’t rush the story. It takes time to build feelings. It talks about death, but in a gentle way. There’s no fake hope. Just a woman trying to do something meaningful before it’s too late.
Each episode gives more layers to Da-eum. She isn’t just sick. She’s trying. She wants to live. Even if the end is near, she doesn’t stop dreaming. For viewers looking for a drama that feels honest, Our Movie is a good pick. If you liked Move to Heaven or The Light in Your Eyes, you’ll appreciate the slow, heartfelt pacing of Our Movie. It doesn’t try to be flashy. It just tells a human story. With real pain. And quiet strength.
