Plot[]
After failing the audition and having a chat with Manager Shen about why, Gong Xi realizes that her ability to love has been damaged, and she enters into a defeatist depression. Yet when Shang doesn't recognize her when they run into each other and she gets a pep talk from her boss, Gong Xi manages to shake out of it and she decides to try again. LME was waiting for her to come back. They created an entirely new department to help her with her issue... only it's so embarrassing it's got to be a joke, right?
Episode Summary[]
Gong Xi is listening to the conversation on the phone. The speaker on the phone says, “Sorry, I was too stubborn, too selfish, too heartless.” Hearing these three words, Gong Xi recalls Shang using the exact words to describe her. In her imagination, Shang appears and says, “After breaking up with you, I dated many women but there was never a good ending."
"They each told me that I only loved myself and never gave back. Now I realize that you are the only person who is completely true to me. For me, you gave everything without limit. You never complained to me. To help me pursue my dreams, you were willing to give up your own life. Gong Xi, sorry. I know that I was wrong. You still love me right? You are willing to give me another chance right? Let us start over again okay?"
After hearing what Shang said, her face is filled with emotions. She cries as she answers, “I am very happy. I always believed that you would say that to me one day, to return to your side.” The judges are impressed, really impressed.
Gong Xi bows her head to Shang. Her spirits kick in. She throws the mobile phone and says to Shang, “Did you think I would love you again? Do you think I am an idiot, you bastard!” The judges are shell-shocked, probably at her change in emotion. She drops to the floor and cries.
Gong Xi finds out that she got eliminated from the audition. She goes to Manager Shen to ask for the reason. Is it because the president didn’t like her performance? Is it because she broke the phone? She learns from the manager that an artist has to depend on the audience’s support and encouragement in order to exist. Where would they get the support and encouragement? From love of course. An artist needs to love the audience in order to grow and exist. Gong Xi realizes that she is lacking the emotion of love.
Lian sees Gong Xi leaving on the escalator. Her face offers no emotion. Lian watches her from a window as she leaves the building. Back at the restaurant, her boss tells her to go upstairs to her room because she doesn’t have the right to serve the customers with such a dead expression. She spends her night crying and recalls that everything she did was for Shang. The president is up thinking. His granddaughter asks if contestant 101 was recruited. He tells her that she is not that bad but she got rejected. The girl’s response was that it was unfortunate. Just then Manager Shen calls the president and asks him isn’t a pity to just let go of Gong Xi like that.
After crying, Gong Xi goes to find her Corn stone and remembers that when she was little, all she had to do was take out the rock and it would absorb all of her sorrows. Someone once told her that it is a magical rock that can eat up all sorrows.
Gong Xi gives up on all her hopes of working in the showbiz industry. She finds a job working at a petrol station. She sees Lian on the news and decides to change the channel because she doesn’t want to see him. She doesn’t change the channel because Lian says some good words in front of the media but some very different words to her. She strangles the TV Lian. Her co-workers see and wonder if she has a problem… Gong Xi is doing her best at work trying to forget about entering the showbiz industry.
Gong Xi sees Shang’s car at the petrol station. She imagines him with a spanner wrench, whacking her face. She decides that she can’t let him know that she works here. One of her co-workers goes up to Shang and tells him that she bought one of his newest posters and she points to Gong Xi as well. Her co-worker tells her to go up and tell Shang how much she loves him. She lowers her head and tells him that he is much more handsome than Dun He Lian. Gong Xi goes up and sees Shang face-to-face. He offers for a handshake but she doesn’t accept. Much to her dismay, he doesn’t even recognize her.
She returns home and lets out her anger onto her voodoo doll of Shang. Her bosses are cosplaying again and they hear Gong Xi in her room. Her boss goes upstairs and tells her to not give up.
Gong Xi takes up her boss’s advice and decides to sneak into LME. She successfully sneaks in but runs into an older actress. The actress says that she must be that person from the new department and makes her carry her luggage in. There she runs into Lian and Manager Shen. Manager Shen tells her to start with the work at hand (helping the actress carry her luggage) while he goes to tell the president. To Gong Xi’s surprise, Lian offers to carry the luggage instead. She wonders if he had the wrong medicine today or that maybe she has misunderstood him.
Lian explains to Gong Xi that she is the member of LME’s newest section – Love Me Section. The Love Me branch is a newly established branch by the president for people who lack the skills and hesitate. She learns that she is the only member there and people will award her points if she does a task well. If she gets enough points, she can debut. Gong Xi receives -10 points from the actress because Lian carried the luggage when she was supposed to do it. Gong Xi suspects that Lian is fooling around with her, which he is doing.
Manager Shen and Gong Xi meet the president in a cool room with furniture that moves. The president tells Gong Xi that she will work in the Love ME department from now on.
As a member of Love Me, Gong Xi has to wear a bright pink suit for a uniform. Gong Xi’s first job is removing bubble gum from the floors.
Shang and Lian, coincidentally, are in the same building. Shang sees Lian and says that it is great because he has been thinking for a very long time about what attitude he should have to start a war with him. Shang imagines that Lian bows to him and tells him that he is the most handsome man in Taiwan.
Yet in reality, Shang says that he is too handsome and even takes off his jacket to show off his muscles. Shang trips a flower stand in front of Lian. The two men lock gazes.
