Diver Lee-young (Shin Min-a) has clearly bumped her head hard in that car accident leading up to the Olympic trials. She's having visions of her dead/missing best-friend/synchronized-partner Su-jin (Lee Yoo-young), both in and out of the water and hallucinating high dives that end in a pool without any water. Ouch! I mean, you know that scratch above her eyebrow goes deep because despite all the time she's spending in chlorinated water, that gash will not heal. Is it a psychosomatic symptom if something that's real doesn't get better? You better your gold medal it is.
So what is it that's driving our neurotic aquatic to the brink since her hospital discharge? And is her new synchronized partner (Oh Ha-nee) going to be safe doing multiple flips with a twist from the same high dive? For that matter, is the performance-enhancing drug "Ju" part of the problem? What about the coach (Lee Kyoo-hyung)? Or the guy who may have sold her friend a pair of incompatible jellyfish at the petstore? I can tell you this much, someone associated with the human aquarium looks like they're going down. In Jo Seul-yeah's Diva, head injuries are practically contagious by the end. Doggy-paddling will get you nowhere. And the cops will throw up their arms as if they were doing the butterfly stroke.
