Her Game Was His Heart

Colin Scott spends three years pursuing Eva Ward, and when she finally agrees to be his girlfriend, he mistakes it for the long-awaited return of her love.

Story Recap

Episode 1

Colin Scott spent three years chasing Eva Ward. When he wins first place at a medical forum—beating her childhood sweetheart, Sean Price—Eva unexpectedly agrees to be his girlfriend. He thinks it's the happy ending he waited for.

It isn't. Eva's circle talks openly about a "99-step revenge game," and Colin is the target. Step one: a necklace goes missing, and he searches a frozen lake all night, spiking a forty-degree fever. Later steps frame him for cheating and push him to drink until his stomach bleeds.

Then Colin overhears everything. Quietly, he tells his mother he's done—he'll leave the country with his parents in a week.

Episode 2

Something has shifted in Colin, and Eva notices. She's just out of the hospital after he gave her a huge amount of blood, yet he barely visits, barely calls. The old Colin would have panicked over a simple cold. Now he's distant, and it unsettles her.

To celebrate her discharge, her friends throw a party, and she drags Colin along. There, Sean Price appears—Eva's childhood sweetheart. Colin senses the two have always been closer than he knew, and that Sean may have known about the revenge all along.

At the gathering, the friends push drinks on Colin, who insists he can't handle alcohol. The pressure builds, and the trap tightens around him.

Episode 3

Colin's fever worsens, so Eva brings him medicine. But the bottle labeled as fever reducer is filled with sugar pills—no medicine at all. His condition spirals until a doctor is called, warning it could turn into pneumonia.

The doctor confirms the pills are fake, and somewhere, the revenge game tallies another win: the 97th step succeeded. Eva's circle celebrates the plan as genius—first weaken him, then swap his medicine.

But a message lands in the wrong group chat, and Colin sees it. He understands now that Eva's "care" was designed to make him suffer more. Even his illness is part of the game.

Episode 4

Colin's mother sends the doctor off, and Eva shows up worried, asking why he didn't tell her he was so sick. She offers to take care of him. He declines—he's tired, and he knows she's the reason he's suffering at all.

He counts down silently: three more days and he's free of her.

Meanwhile, Colin visits his old teacher and announces he's decided to return to medical research abroad. The teacher is thrilled; Colin had given up medicine because Eva didn't like it. Now he's picking up the scalpel again. He doesn't tell Eva—it no longer matters. Before leaving, he says he wants to leave Eva a surprise.

Episode 5

At a class reunion, Colin's old classmates are stunned to see him. They remember him as the top student of his year—more gifted than anyone—who walked away from a medical career. When asked why, the answer is simple: Eva didn't want him to be a doctor.

The implication hangs in the air. Sean Price is a doctor too, and Colin's absence would leave one less rival in Sean's path.

Eva's friends nudge her to sit beside Sean, and the old intimacy between them surfaces. Colin watches it all. His parents have finished the paperwork—they fly out the day after tomorrow. But first, he says, he wants to leave Eva a surprise.

Episode 6

At the reunion, a party game turns cruel: truth or dare, and the loser must kiss the person on their right. Eva loses, and her friends egg her on to kiss Sean. Colin walks in on it.

He doesn't explode. He simply says he won't mind, that he's not feeling well, and leaves. Eva follows, insisting it was only a game—why is he being so petty? Her friends pile on, calling him small-minded, reminding everyone that Sean knew Eva long before Colin did.

Eva tells Colin he's the one she likes now. But the damage is done, and the cracks in their relationship are widening fast.

Episode 7

An accident leaves Sean's hand bleeding, and the panic is immediate—Sean is a surgeon, and his hands are everything. Eva rushes him to the hospital, telling Colin to grab a taxi on his own. Colin is left behind without a second thought.

Later, the truth lands: Sean's hand can no longer hold a scalpel. His surgical career is over.

Eva is confronted—why wasn't she told about this revenge plan? Her friends are baffled by her anger. Wasn't the goal to finish the 99 steps and be with Sean? Eva insists she never asked anyone to destroy Sean's hand. But her friends don't understand why she's so upset.

Episode 8

Eva's friends confront her directly: after all these years, has she actually fallen for Colin? They warn her that if she's faking the revenge but catching real feelings, she's the one who'll get burned—and Sean will be devastated.

Eva denies it fiercely. She says the only person she's ever loved is Sean, and she could never love Colin.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, a new doctor tends to Sean's hand and asks for his contact information, only to be told he has a girlfriend. The scene shifts uneasily—an awkwardness Eva can't quite explain away.

Episode 9

The revenge game reaches its final step. Eva's friends propose something brutal for number 99: on Colin and Eva's anniversary, she'll blindfold him, lead him to an abandoned villa, and slip away. Then they'll set the place on fire and lock the door, leaving him trapped.

Eva hesitates. She refuses—there's too much risk; he can't die. Her friends push back, reminding her she's been wavering and that Sean is waiting for her.

Cornered, Eva agrees. But she makes a private, secret request: prepare a fake corpse. If everyone believes Colin died in the fire, the game may not end the way her friends expect.

Episode 10

On their anniversary, Eva blindfolds Colin and leads him to the abandoned villa, promising a surprise. She tells him to wait and not peek, then leaves to "get the gift."

Alone, Colin speaks honestly. He tells her he's loved her for a very long time, that the night she agreed to be with him he was so happy he cried into his pillow. He thought his wish had finally come true. This is their third anniversary—and the first gift she's ever given him.

Outside, the fake corpse is readied. After the fire, everyone will believe Colin is dead. He played her ninety-nine times—so this last time, he thinks, he'll play her.

The game isn't over. Watch Her Game Was His Heart and see who really gets burned.
