In Melo Movie Episode 4, Gyeom decides to visit his parents’ graves on their death anniversary. His brother, Ko Jun, purposely avoided going. It wasn’t surprising. They had different ways of dealing with the past.
On his way back, his car broke down in the middle of heavy rain. Stranded with no help in sight, he tried to fix it himself. Then, Mu-bee appeared. Without hesitation, she stepped in to help. It was unexpected, but he didn’t refuse. Meanwhile, Gyeom received an offer to become the main critic for a top magazine. His reviews had built a strong reputation. People trusted his opinions. It was a big opportunity.
Si-jun and Ju-a’s Strained Connection
Si-jun finally watched Ju-a’s movie. To his relief, it wasn’t about them. He had assumed the worst, but he was wrong.
At the same time, Ju-a was waiting to meet him at the bar where he worked. But before she could enter, she saw another woman near the door. Without a word, she turned around and left. Later, she agreed to turn her script into a movie. Mu-bee approved the project. It was official now.
Gyeom’s Success and Mu-bee’s Boundaries
Mu-bee and Gyeom attended a movie screening. After it ended, he asked if they could have dinner together. She refused. She wanted distance. Getting too close would only make things complicated again.
Meanwhile, Ju-a visited Si-jun’s bar. He wasn’t happy to see her. “Do you think we can get back together?” he asked. Ju-a had other reasons. She wanted his music for her film. She needed him—not as a person, but for his talent. Si-jun felt insulted. He never asked for anyone’s help to be recognized. For a moment, he even considered quitting music altogether.
A Review That Changed Everything
Gyeom’s critiques became more popular. Magazines, radio shows, and social media were all talking about him. Mu-bee, despite trying to keep her distance, found herself watching his reviews.
Then, something serious happened. A well-known director, Ko, attempted suicide. The reason? A harsh review from Gyeom. When the news broke, Gyeom was rushed to the hospital. But as soon as he arrived, the media surrounded him.
People started questioning critics and their influence. Some accused them of ruining careers. Others blamed Gyeom directly. It was a turning point. Later, Gyeom went drinking with Director Ma. Mu-bee joined them. The conversation was tense. Then, another director, Yong-u, appeared. Gyeom had once written a harsh critique of his work.
Trying to ease the situation, Gyeom offered him a drink. Yong-u took it but poured it on the floor instead. Mu-bee stepped in. She pulled Gyeom outside before things got worse. “You didn’t do anything wrong,” she said. “But at least acknowledge the people who stand by you.” Her words stayed with him.
Facing the Truth
Outside the bar, Ju-a was waiting. This time, Si-jun didn’t push her away. He agreed to work on her movie. Mu-bee, on the other hand, went to meet Director Ko. He explained everything. It wasn’t a suicide attempt. He had sleeping issues and anxiety. That night, he drank too much and lost consciousness after taking sleeping pills.
As she left, she saw Gyeom standing outside. He had been waiting. They sat together in silence. Neither rushed to speak. After a while, Gyeom went to get a blanket.
When he returned, Mu-bee had woken up. Looking at her, he finally said it. “I want to like you again.” His words lingered in the air. Neither of them moved. The past wasn’t forgotten, but maybe, just maybe, there was still something left between them.
