Problem: The synopsis for S1E1 is extremely brief. It only covers Han Se-joo and Jeon Seol.
Problem: The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Conflict: If I only use the provided synopsis, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or inventing details. The instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." However, the user also specifies a word count of 280-380 words.
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (the reincarnation theme, the cast, the series overview) to reach the word count while strictly adhering to the "no inventing" rule. I will focus on the premise of the series as established in the sources to provide a "grounded" recap/overview of the episode's context.
