I Wish It Were You

Episode 1

Isabel can barely process what just happened: she has married a stranger named Jared through a family arrangement. There's no time for a honeymoon. Jared says he has to leave for Italy for work and promises to call when he's back. He hands her a card and insists she keep it, reminding her that an arranged marriage is still a marriage, and they don't have to hate each other.

Isabel thanks the person who set it up, then throws herself into rebuilding her life. She applies to the Bellini Group and gets the job. Her new boss, Lorenzo Bellini, has been away on a year-long business trip. She can't shake the feeling she's seen him somewhere before.

Episode 2

Lorenzo Bellini is finally back at the office, and the search for his new personal assistant begins. Three candidates are presented. One hopeful leans on a shared university connection, and another brags about experience, but Isabel keeps it simple, introducing herself as someone who has already been working for the company.

The moment she says her name, something shifts. Lorenzo repeats it back—Isabel. It's the same name as his wife's. He studies her, and she studies him right back, both sensing a strange familiarity neither can explain. The interview just got a lot more complicated.

Episode 3

Lorenzo makes his choice: Isabel will be his new personal assistant. But his grandmother Linny has a sharper reminder waiting. She asks whether he remembers his arranged marriage—and that he hasn't seen his wife since the wedding. Lorenzo admits he just got back from Italy and plans to see her tonight.

Then comes a surprisingly clueless question: what should he bring for a woman? Jewelry, someone suggests, maybe an expensive necklace. When Isabel is pulled into the conversation, she hesitates—because she's the wife he's shopping for and doesn't even know it.

Episode 4

Isabel offers her advice: since Lorenzo has been gone a while, maybe his wife just wants quality time. Take her to dinner, bring flowers, watch a movie. He likes the idea. Back at the office, Peter warns Isabel that Lorenzo isn't into office romances, and she insists she won't flirt with him.

Then her phone rings. It's Jared—he's back. She rushes home, but the reunion is anything but warm. Jared walks in and immediately demands to know why there's another man in his house. Whatever he expected to come home to, it wasn't this.

Episode 5

At work, Lorenzo is as charming as ever, and Isabel can't help noticing how attractive he is. But she reminds herself firmly: he's married, and he loves his wife. Still, he looks so familiar. Her ring is a constant reminder of her own situation—and of Jared, who ran off right after the wedding. She says she'll never forgive him.

Meanwhile, something seems off with Lorenzo. His date apparently didn't go well. Then a tense confrontation erupts elsewhere, with someone being dared to apologize to a woman, and the mood turns hostile fast.

Episode 6

The confrontation boils over. Lorenzo's business partner Tristan Logan refuses to apologize, insisting they're partners and he won't be ordered around. Accusations fly—someone claims a woman seduced him, and she fires back that she didn't seduce anyone, that he attacked her.

The argument drags Lorenzo into the middle, with pointed questions about how many men have been strung along and whether Lorenzo is defending her because he likes her. Loyalties are splitting fast, and it's clear this partnership is heading somewhere ugly.

Episode 7

The fallout lands hard. Genius Tech is no longer partnering with Lorenzo, and Tristan is told to leave before security is called. Lorenzo tells Isabel he appreciates her—and reveals the partnership change was coming anyway, because Genius Tech has been sinking since Tristan took over. No one messes with his assistant.

Later, Lorenzo heads to the shopping center and asks Isabel whether she wants anything for his wife. A voice on the phone raises doubts about a misunderstanding. Isabel offers to go with him. He still needs to find a restaurant for tonight's dinner with his wife.

Episode 8

Lorenzo is ring shopping. He holds up a ten-carat diamond ring and asks whether it's the kind of thing his wife would like—he figures he would. The gesture is extravagant, and Isabel is standing right there, watching him choose a gift for a woman who is, unknowingly, her.

Then news breaks: Tristan Logan, CEO of Genius Tech, has been injured in a car accident. Someone asks whether she knew about it. The conversation turns pointed—are you afraid of me?—and the tension between boss and assistant sharpens into something neither of them can ignore.

Episode 9

Isabel doesn't flinch. She tells Lorenzo she's heard the rumors but only believes what she sees with her own eyes. She's his assistant, not his enemy, so there's nothing to be afraid of. He hands over a delivery meant for his grandmother Linny—the ring is inside—and mentions the restaurant is booked.

On the phone, Linny pushes him: it's time to find Isabel and ask her to move in. Then the truth cracks open. His wife's full name is Isabel Scott, and Linny scolds him for not even remembering it. He says the name Isabel—and the assistant answers.

Episode 10

Lorenzo pieces it together out loud: his assistant's name is the same as his wife's, but surely it can't be the same person. He tells Linny he's on his way to pick his wife up and will bring her to meet her soon.

He and Isabel arrive at their destination. The steaks are almost ready, and he sends her to grab a bottle from the car. He hopes she'll like this. The two Isabels are about to collide—and he still has no idea the woman he's been courting is sitting right beside him.
