With a heart resolved not to love,
Mr. Lian securely locked up his heart.
No one can save him.
No matter how many locks I secure on my heart,
I still cannot suppress my love for her.
Just pretend you're Mei Yue.
Here, in this room, allow your acting to flow freely.
Okay, Teacher.
Let's do it, I'll do a good job portraying a Mei Yue that's worthy of Jia Yue.
I'm dead.
Mr. Lian saved me.
Have you ever been kissed?
N... No.
Do you want me to teach you?
Teacher, come to your senses.
I'm not Cousin Wei Xi.
I actually lost my self-control.
Even I have never seen this side of myself before.
The real me was evoked by her.
The fact that you are having trouble acting as Jia Yue has been leaked.
There will be a huge media presence at tomorrow's filming.
So you must prepare yourself.
If you fail at your performance today,
that's equivalent to receiving a death sentence in front of thousands of fans.
I, Dun He Lian, hereby declare
that if today's filming isn't satisfactory to you,
I will henceforth resign from the entertainment industry.
Later, could I try it without following the script?
I hope you'll allow me to try improvised acting.
Teacher, you didn't scald yourself, did you?
Did you cut yourself?
Let me see.
The real test of acting abilities begins here.
Let me disinfect the wound for you.
If you're worried,
let me play it together with you.
In Dark Moon, both Jia Yue and Mei Yue excel at the piano.
In reality, however, Yi Mei can only play a little.
What in the world is Lian doing?
His piano skills are about preschool level.
Jia Yue's specialty song is Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu.
Does Mr. Lian really know how to play such a difficult song?

Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo.
The lights shine on me, the one who really loves you.
I practice my lines.
How do I perform flawlessly and make your heart flutter?
No matter how many times I've suffered defeat,
I still won't turn back.
Because you have the smile I want to possess every time we meet.
Sometimes I doubt myself.
I blame myself for not being lucky enough.
I'm scared I'll spoil you with too much affection,
but I'd still rather believe... Baby.
Love is an extravagant solo show.
I'm not afraid of ridicule. Eventually, you'll be moved.
Love is solo. Oh, S - o - l - o
Love is a cruel solo show, up on the stage.
Your glance is overflowing with sparks.
Love is solo, the most beautiful extravagance.
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo Solo.
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo Solo.
Love is like a battle arena. Solo Solo.
S - o - l - o
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
This is...
This isn't Chopin.
Although it doesn't flow well and is off-tune,
but
this is "I've Stepped On a Cat," no doubt about it.
I don't understand.
Why is Dun He Lian playing "I've Stepped On a Cat"?
Jia Yue is supposed to be an excellent pianist who plays Chopin, isn't he?
Is he asking me to join in?
If Mei Yue has both her beloved piano and secret crush Jia Yue before her,
she will probably join in.
Aren't things digressing even further from the script?
Originally, in the script...
After Jia Yue checks on Mei Yue's injury and confirms she's fine,
the two of them have a happy conversation.
Then, Mei Yue goes to the kitchen to brew a pot of Earl Grey Tea.
Mr. Lian,
what is your motive in asking Mei Yue to play the piano together with you?
If this continues, there is no way things can be tied back to the original script.
The melody is flowing more smoothly.
Lian is actually keeping up with her.
It can't be. He's watching my fingers and learning as he's playing?
Both of their tunes are now in sync.
Mei Yue.
Yes, Teacher.
Starting tomorrow afternoon, I will book the school's piano studio.
Huh?
I am aware of your situation at home.
I imagine you'll want to be able to practice the piano diligently.
If you want, you can use it during afternoon recess.
However, you must have a showdown with me.
Showdown?
Come on. Keep up with me if you can.
Mr. Lian actually progressed from being a hopeless pianist
to becoming someone who can play at this speed.
The script intended for Jia Yue and Mei Yue
to happily communicate with each other
after picking up the broken pieces.
Aren't they happily communicating now?
He actually portrayed it in this manner.
This is even more exciting than how it was scripted to be.
Mr. Lian's performance will probably pass the test.
Teacher, just now... why did you play "I've Stepped on A Cat"?
I thought the song suited your personality.
I didn't expect CEO Luo to be that entertained.
Suits my personality?
You're saying I'm childish?
Aren't you?
I'm sorry. I totally forgot I'm supposed to clean up.
I'll do it. You're hurt.
Teacher, you're the guest. I can do it.
But I'm the one who broke it.
Teacher.
Come, take a seat here.
I will do the cleaning up.
Coincidentally, we have Earl Grey Tea at home.
I'll brew one pot of it for you now.
Wait here for me.
We're returned to the script.
Mr. Lian is brilliant.
He led Yi Mei to naturally utter the lines in the original script.
Thank you.
What am I doing?
By doing this, I'm bringing us even closer together.
I should make her hate me
and distance herself from me.
This is it.
He is aware of the need to keep a distance from Mei Yue,
but he can't help feeling happy being around Mei Yue.
Mr. Lian has completely grasped the complex emotions of loving someone.
Cut!
Wonderful.
Dun He Lian's acting was fabulous.
Let's quickly publish the article
otherwise all the audience in Asia will be having heart attacks (from waiting).
Thank you everyone. You've worked hard.
CEO Luo, what do you think?
All of you come with me.
It can't be.
Mr. Lian's portrayal of Jia Yue was fantastic,
CEO couldn't be dissatisfied.
Just now...
it wasn't too bad.
However, relative to your usual performances,
this time, you've only marginally passed.
CEO Luo, you were obviously face-changing* (*Sichuan opera acting device)
alternating between happy and tense expressions as you watched Lian.
How can you make such a comment now?
Was I?
Please be sincere with your words.
Give him some solid praise.
No...
CEO Luo Li, I really must thank you.
I did nothing.
I know you did a lot for me.
Is he referring to CEO Luo scouting for his replacement?
It seems you've completely grasped Jia Yue's character,
and you've achieved that not by thinking but through feeling.
CEO is brilliant.
Just by watching one performance, he can tell Lian has someone he likes?
Has she already found out?
No, it can't be. It can't be.
I don't think your improvisation this time was impromptu, was it?
To successfully portray your version of Jia Yue,
you needed the cooperation of your co-star.
Had you raised your ideas beforehand,
you'd run the risk of Yi Mei refusing.
So from the beginning,
you intentionally challenged Yi Mei, forcing her to comply with you.
The entire performance's set up
had begun way before the director shouted "Camera!"
Mr. Lian, you're frightening.
I knew you planned this out,
but I didn't expect even Yi Mei to fall for your trick.
No wonder you spoke about bringing out her best and other provoking words.
You're really sly.
Fortunately, the provocation worked.
It was due to Yi Mei's cooperation;
otherwise, the Jia Yue you wanted to portray would never have become a reality.
This scene would not have played out so perfectly either.
Yi Mei...
Thank you for helping me.
I didn't particularly do anything.
The reason I had absolute confidence I could act out this scene well
was partly because you are my co-star
and I'm acting with you.
Thank you.
If only you could utter such beautiful words to the person you're interested in.
Mr. Lian.
- Hello. - Hello.
Gong Xi.
What's the matter?
Are you unwell?
No.
What's the meaning of that?
Huh?
You took a step back.
What's the meaning of you suddenly stepping back?
It's nothing significant.
Huh?
Are you two discussing anything important?
No.
All right, then take a break.
After lunch we'll film Jia Yue's scenes.
Okay.
Lian, CEO would like to have a word with you.
He asked you to go over.
Okay.
Gong Xi, how are you?
Do you want to go with me to buy some stuff?
Oh, okay.
Let's go.
No thanks, CEO.
I still have work in the afternoon.
I know.
I was merely testing you.
This glass is actually for me.
Compared to five years ago, you're much more stable now.
I remember you said that you would never love again.
Please don't bring up the past again, would you?
You know I'm not stiff and old-fashioned.
It's okay to tell me.
Who is this person?
Who's who?
Stop playing dumb.
Looking at you now, it couldn't be any more obvious.
Who could be so skilled
as to melt your cold and hardened heart?
Sir...
Do you really want to hear the truth?
Who's who?
Stop pretending.
Looking at you now, it couldn't be any more obvious.
Who could be so skilled
as to melt your cold and hardened heart?
Sir...
Do you really want to hear the truth?
The truth is I'm not in love.
Stubborn.
The reason I had absolute confidence I could act out this scene well
was partly because you are my co-star
and I'm acting with you.
Hearing those words from Mr. Lian, I suddenly envy Yi Mei.
When will I become an actress outstanding enough
to receive such praise from Mr. Lian?
Gong Xi, let's go.
You're asking how Yi Mei feels about acting together with Lian?
Yes, how do you think she felt?
Couldn't you tell?
Yi Mei couldn't resist Lian's charm.
Why are you suddenly asking?
It reminded me of what a director once said.
He said if you want your costar's character to fall in love with your character,
then you must make him fall in love with you for real.
Isn't this already happening?
Yi Mei has already fallen for Lian's tricks.
Every time Lian acts in a drama,
from the director to the cameos, he conquers all, no one is spared.
I just knew it!!
It bothers you that much?
If you want to date Lian, you can't get jealous about this stuff.
Aren't you a little too feeble to get upset so easily?
Although I do want to receive Mr. Lian's praise,
but I don't want to act opposite him again.
Mr. Lian is too frightening.
It troubles me.
I swore never to let my heart pound again for someone.
If I were to act opposite him,
I might end up...
[Xiao Wei] [Xiao Qiang (cockroach)]
exactly like this cockroach and die a horrible death.
[Xiao Wei] [Xiao Qiang (cockroach)]
Gong Xi, you must be hungry.
Oh, I'm fine.
Have a bite first.
I'll wait for Lian.
Oh, it's fine. We can wait together.
Why should we?
Or will you only eat with Lian?
Okay. Okay.
What do you mean together or not?!
It's only because I'm his junior at the company,
so I can't eat before my senior does!
It's just common etiquette!
Okay, okay. I didn't mean it, seriously.
You needn't look so scary while vigorously clarifying yourself.
I...
am not.
You're behaving strangely today.
Since a while ago, you've been overreacting about anything related to Lian
and you vigorously try to disassociate yourself from it.
I...
I didn't mean to overreact.
It's because...
I'm sorry to interrupt you both.
Mr. Du, I don't know how to use the DV you lent me.
Our Yi Mei would like to review that scene from before.
Could you do us a favor and help?
Sorry to trouble you.
It's no problem, don't worry. Please, take a seat over there, okay?
Mr. Du is right.
It's hard to not be captivated by his charm when acting opposite Lian.
That was exactly what happened to Yi Mei earlier.
Let me take a look.
Yi Mei never thought Mr. Lian would act like that.
So it was perfectly normal for her heart to race and cheeks to blush.
Therefore, back then
when my heart nearly exploded,
that was perfectly normal too.
That's right. Am I an idiot?
It's all perfectly normal.
In a situation like that, it's natural to feel flushed and excited.
Furthermore, in real life, I've never experienced it before,
that's why my heart nearly exploded.
It's as normal as having a toilet in a bathroom.
Even if Mr. Lian is not the one acting opposite me,
my heart would still race.
According to this logic,
I have no reason to fear I'll fall in love while acting opposite him,
because I don't think this is what it feels like to fall in love.
Great. Therefore my feelings towards Mr. Lian
probably resulted from the scenes in the drama and have no deeper implications.
Thank goodness.
I don't have to worry now.
Thank goodness.
Do you know what Director Xu Fang said to me just now?
He said you breaking away from your image
and putting up a diversified performance, was worthy of praise.
I was happy to hear Xu Fang praise you.
Honestly, in today's performance,
I saw your past.
Don't tense up, I'm not criticizing you.
During your performance, you revealed traces of your past, indicating that
you've forgiven your past to some degree, right?
Wow, CEO's car is so cool.
I wonder what CEO and Lian are discussing?
It just might be something serious.
Lunch is getting cold and lunchtime is almost over.
If Mr. Lian doesn't come for lunch,
how is he supposed to work in the afternoon?
It would be rude to interrupt.
Never mind, they should be finished soon.
I'll just wait a while longer.
Now that I think about it, participating in Dark Moon,
is the ideal way for you to heal.
It can enable you to release what you kept locked up in your heart for so long.
CEO, what exactly do you want to say to me?
I'm saying Tian Ming from An Yue*... (*Dark Moon)
Gong Xi?
What is she doing?
Is she doing a figure 8 dance?
How brilliant.
She isn't waiting for you, is she?
It's her?
Who?
Stop playing dumb.
Gong Xi is the person who melted your heart.
She isn't waiting for you, is she?
It's her?
Who?
Stop playing dumb.
Gong Xi is the person who melted your heart.
So, earlier you pretended Mei Yue was Gong Xi,
and that's how you were able to express
Jia Yue's feelings of repressed love so successfully, right?
Why did you choose her of all people?
She's difficult to handle.
Then again, if she were easy to get,
you might not have been able to understand Jia Yue's feelings.
I suppose a target as difficult to win over as Gong Xi
is in fact the most suitable candidate.
This kind of feeling...
I'm going to leave.
Lian...
In truth you don't think you deserve happiness, right?
What did the CEO say to Mr. Lian?
Why does Mr. Lian look this sad?
Are you looking for me?
Yes, lunch is ready.
Mr. Du and I are waiting for you to eat with us.
You were gone for so long and lunchtime is almost over.
Are you saying you haven't eaten yet?
Let's go.
He's back to being his aloof self again.
What's going on?
Why did he suddenly become like this again?
Later on we'll start from scene 6 line 5 where Wei Xu's part begins.
Let's do a run through.
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo.
Back to back.
The lights shine on me, the one who really loves you.
I practice my lines. How do I perform flawlessly
and make your heart flutter?
No matter how many times I've suffered defeat,
I still won't turn back.
Because you have the smile I want to possess every time we meet.
After news related to inflation on the domestic front,
[Dark Moonwill to be broadcasted soon!]
let's take a look at some entertainment news.
Sometimes I doubt myself.
Eight Channel's blockbuster of the year Dark Moon
has finally concluded filming after three months.
I blame myself for not being lucky enough.
I'm scared I'll spoil you with too much affection,
During filming, the director and actors put their best foot forward
but I'd still rather believe... Baby.
and managed to overcome the pressure of remaking An Yue.
Love is an extravagant solo show.
After broadcasting the preview last week, the official Dark Moon website
I'm not afraid of ridicule. Eventually, you'll be moved.
has been flooded with tens of thousands of messages and comments daily.
Love is solo. Oh, S - o - l - o
The audience is anticipating Dun He Lian's portrayal of the role of Jia Yue
Love is a cruel solo show, up on the stage.
after he overcame initial hurdles and passed an acting challenge.
Your glance is overflowing with sparks.
News has it that newcomer Gong Xi's performance is also noteworthy.
Love is solo, the most beautiful extravagance.
Passing through space and time, love still doesn't revolve.
This weekend, Dark Moon will begin broadcasting.
Will Dark Moon surpass An Yue
Even the shooting stars have surrendered, but still I remain.
and once again stir up a drama fever that will captivate the entire nation?
For love, solo.
Seeing the crowd below the stage cheering me on isn't enough.
You really shouldn't settle for being a fan, loving me.
Filming will soon conclude for Dark Moon.
Don't just applaud for me, give me warmth.
This also means
that my days of working with Mr. Lian are coming to an end.
Let love be the solo show.
S - o - l - o
Love is an extravagant solo show.
Sometimes I have the illusion
I'm not afraid of ridicule. Eventually, you'll be moved. Baby.
that the entire process of filming Dark Moon
Love is solo. Oh, S - o - l - o. Baby.
is merely a dream.
If this dream can be prolonged,
Love is a cruel solo show, up on the stage
if I can continue dreaming the same dream
Your glance is overflowing with sparks.
with Mr. Lian like this,
Love is solo, the most beautiful extravagance.
how wonderful that would be.
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo Solo.
Director, upon the successful conclusion of Dark Moon's filming,
Love is like a battle arena. Solo Solo.
is there anything you would like to say?
S - o - l - o
First of all, I would like to thank the artistes for their full cooperation
and the TV station's executive for respecting this production.
Despite the drama needing to be extended by a few more episodes,
they agreed to the new schedule and will not cut out any scenes.
Since you have touched on the length of the drama,
if An Yue had 13 episodes and Dark Moon 15 episodes,
did you not follow An Yue's script closely when filming?
Otherwise, why would something like this occur?
Director, I remember your father, Director Da Zhun, once said
that a good director should, besides motivating the artistes,
also manage the length of his production well.
How would you respond to this?
Unsurprisingly, they're asking about his father again.
These reporters are too much.
Why do they have to provoke him in this manner when filming has ended already?
Director, be strong.
Don't live in your father's shadows.
In the past three months, you've proven that you don't.
Here and now, don't be defeated.
I respect my father deeply.
Nevertheless, we are two different individuals.
I believe I have earned the right to speak here.
After all, I've worked with both directors.
From the perspective of a professional actress,
relative to Director Da Zhun,
Director Fang does not pale in comparison.
I trust that after all of you have seen tonight's episode,
you will come to agree with me.
Thank you, Qin Jie.
I respect and admire
all of my father's achievements in the entertainment industry.
I am proud of him.
However, I've decided not to live in his shadows
and allow his achievements to weigh on me.
I will continue to work hard to put out a work that is truly mine
and unrelated to him,
because I have my own style of work.
I hope after tonight's broadcast, this will be evident to you.
Thank you.
Gong Xi, Dark Moon is about to air.
Aren't you coming out?
Gong Xi.
What are you doing?
What should I do? I'm in pain.
You're not making sense.
I want to watch but I don't dare to.
I'm afraid I set my expectations too high
and it will shatter as though it fell from the Taipei 101.
- I don't dare to watch. - Come.
- What is it? - Come here.
- I don't... - Come on.
You've already filmed it what are you afraid of?
What do you mean you're afraid to watch?
If you don't review your work, how will you improve?
I don't dare to!
So what if you shatter into pieces?
You still have to face it bravely!
No!
You punk.
Boss specially took time off today to watch it with you.
How can you let them down by not watching?
You punk!
Let me go!
It doesn't look serious.
You'll only need to apply some ointment.
Let me disinfect the wound for you.
If I told you that I want to kill Jia Yue,
would you still be able to maintain that carefree smile?
Episode one...
ended...
just like that?
Voice your honest opinions, I can handle it.
What did you think of the first episode?
Was it terrible?
It was totally fabulous!
Gong Xi, I really want to congratulate you for acting so well.
Seriously!
You belong to the new wave of superstars.
Gong Xi, Gong Xi, future superstar, take a picture with me first.
Hold on, I want your autograph.
- Another picture. - Autograph.
- Just sign on my hand. - Hubby, look.
Do you want the date?
All right write it all down.
Boss,
did you not like it?
It was terrifying.
Terrifying?
Who is terrifying?
You.
Did I do a lousy job?
How is that acting?
You were almost bewitched, as though Wei Xu had possessed you.
It was life-like. How terrifying.
Can I be your fan?
Or add me as your friend on the social networking site?
I was freaked out by you a few times as well.
Yeah, I told you before
Gong Xi has the motivation to be an accomplished actress.
Also, Jia Yue is so handsome!
He took my breath away multiple times.
Me too.
Are you a man?
Is it illegal for a man to love another man?
Now I know what to dress up as next time.
- Xiao Xi. - Gong Xi.
Gong Xi, what's wrong?
Are you all right?
She must be too nervous.
She was saying earlier that she was scared to watch or something.
Hurry and call for a hearse.
No... she's not dead yet. Call an ambulance instead.
This is wonderful.
Everyone loves Dark Moon.
It's really wonderful.
Wonderful.
[Dark Moon's Broadcast Ratings Number 1 in Its Timeslot]
Did you sleep well last night?
Why did you ask me to come?
You're heading off tomorrow to film an advertisement,
so I asked you to come for a chat.
You know that Dark Moon's ratings are number one nation-wide?
Yes.
Huh?
To me,
the moment I grasped the Jia Yue character I already succeeded.
Therefore, I don't care so much about the ratings.
I know that you staked your acting career on the Jia Yue character,
because surpassing Tian Ming's portrayal of Jia Yue
implies outdoing your father.
Tian Ming is your father.
Is that not true?
Gong Xi. Where are you going?
Eight Channel. Isn't Mr. Lian going there too?
There's a Dark Moon actors' interview today.
Don't ride your bike there then. It's very hot outside.
You can just go with Lian later.
That's not a good idea.
Why not?
- Based on your relationship with Lian... - What?!
Don't make up stuff.
I was saying
based on your senior-junior relationship with Lian, all right?
Senior-junior.
Okay, come with me to find Lian. Ride there in our car with us.
Lian.
Director Xu Fang has found his own path.
You should also stop living in your father's shadow.
The girl walking towards you is the magic that will save you.
My journal stops on the first page.
It's blank.
Is the CEO pressuring Mr. Lian again?
After Mr. Lian chatted with the CEO last time,
The beginning spells the end.
he had that same look on his face.
How do I take a break from this story?
I really want to give Mr. Lian encouragement,
I'll stop writing.
but what can I do?
Perhaps then it won't hurt anymore.
Whose decision was it?
Who feels unsettled now?
We clearly chose not to meet again.
But who is trying to resist?
In order to surpass your father, Tian Ming,
Who is trying to hang on?
you've always been very strict with yourself.
Why can't I bear to let go?
Over time, you've sealed off the soft side of your heart.
Could we just say goodbye here?
Why do I still miss you?
The girl walking towards you is the magic that will save you.
Turns out you're vulnerable too.
My line of sight will reject all images of you.
Then I won't leave any memories behind.
What can I do to help relieve some of Mr. Lian's pressure?
From now on, I won't long for you again.
What?
She's only playing a small role but the report makes her sound so impressive.
I can't let Shang see this news article, or who knows what he'll do again?
Oh!
[Dark Moon's Broadcast Ratings Number 1 in Its Timeslot]
Shang, are you all right?
This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't pay attention to it.
We're working right now.
Work's over.
Go home.
It's over?
Okay, I'll go get the car.
Come down in five minutes.
This is love.
When you hurt someone unintentionally...
(What should you do?)
This is love. (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (Taking you by surprise...)
How could...?
You feel discouraged yet full of anticipation. (Taking you by surprise...)
How should I react right now?
You say you don't believe this is love.
Should I say hello?
My Friend,
If I say hello, will Mr. Lian think that I still care about that guy?
I want to smooth your furrowed brows.
Those worries you haven't fully expressed,
I can actually tell;
Or should I go buy something?
it's all because love is stirring up trouble.
The more you renounce love,
the more it draws near.
Do I still care about him?
Regardless of location, situation, or time,
you suddenly want to make mischief
and you abruptly expose your weakness.
(Being led around by him...)
Beneath the blue sky, you recall past loves.
You thought if you didn't depend on anyone,
then there wouldn't be any sorrow.
(Missing out on true love...)
You stare quietly into space, (Missing out on true love...)
murmuring softly to yourself.
Your tone is filled with frustration.
(Who are you confessing to?)
I'm sorry, Baby.
This is love.
When you hurt someone unintentionally...
(What should you do?)
This is love. (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (Taking you by surprise...)
You feel discouraged yet full of anticipation. (Taking you by surprise...)
You feel discouraged yet full of anticipation.
You say you don't believe this is love.
This is love.
When you leave in a huff...
(Don't want to leave...)
This is love. (Don't want to leave...)
When you secretly regret... (Don't want to leave...)
When you secretly regret... (Memories are generous.)
Love that's never been tested, (Memories are generous.)
Love that's never been tested,
can't be considered real love.
You keep guessing. You keep guessing.
Should there still be hope for the ending?
But you can't let go. But you can't let go.
All you know is that the future is trouble.
Seeing Gong Xi standing next to Dun He Lian
You're too worried about being weak and flawed.
actually makes my heart ache.
You're bothered that people can see how much of your heart has been possessed.
It turns out, I can't bear to let her go.
Don't deny that this is love.
Beneath the blue sky, you recall past loves.
This is the first time I've been able to look at him this calmly.
You thought if you didn't depend on anyone,
Also, my heart suddenly feels really light.
You thought if you didn't depend on anyone, (then there wouldn't be any sorrow.)
You thought if you didn't depend on anyone, (Missing out on true love.)
You stare quietly into space, (Missing out on true love.)
Can it be that I no longer hate him?
murmuring softly to yourself.
Dun He Lian, you just wait.
Your tone is filled with frustration.
I, Bu Po Shang, will fight to the death
Your tone is filled with frustration. (Who are you confessing to?)
I'm sorry, Baby.
to snatch the industry's male artiste throne away from you.
This is love.
When you hurt someone unintentionally...
(What should you do?)
In addition, Gong Xi, wait for me.
This is love. (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (Taking you by surprise...)
You feel discouraged yet full of anticipation. (Taking you by surprise...)
I'll make sure you witness my success and my brilliance.
You feel discouraged yet full of anticipation.
You say you don't believe this is love.
When that time comes, I'll move you with the sincerity of my heart
This is love.
When you leave in a huff...
(Don't want to leave...)
This is love. (Don't want to leave...)
and bring you back to my side.
When you secretly regret... (Don't want to leave...)
When you secretly regret... (Memories are generous.)
Love that's never been tested, (Memories are generous.)
Love that's never been tested,
This time Dark Moon has been a huge success.
can't be considered real love.
Look at how passionate the fans' response was just now.
This is love...
You two are great. (*bang = great, bang bang tang = lollipop)
Keep it up!
- Thanks. - Gong Xi.
Thanks.
I have one too.
I'll go say hello to the broadcasting director. Wait a sec for me.
- Okay. - Bye-bye.
Mr. Lian.
What do you want to say?
Umm...
I just want to say thank you.
I once lost all sense of reason because of my thirst for revenge.
I lost my sense of self
and I didn't know what I was living for.
My mind was focused solely on beating that person.
I hoped that one day he'd get on his knees and apologize to me.
But now, I really love to act.
The past 3 months of filming Dark Moon have further affirmed this point.
I no longer want revenge.
I also no longer care about that person.
That is what I wanted to say.
Okay.
I get it.
Also, after meeting you
I've gradually rediscovered the most sacred of human emotions...
Go home.
Don't come again.
The agency will never accept someone who has no passion for performing and is insincere.
Indeed, you entered the entertainment industry for that purpose.
You might have your reasons,
but as an actor myself,
I can't condone your motives.
Place you first?
Yes. How others view me, isn't important.
What I feel is important, is that I'm being placed first.
A good manager will put aside his emotions and interests,
and always consider his artiste first.
As long as you've put in your best effort and done as well as you can,
don't worry about the score.
Don't cry anymore.
From now on, let's work together.
She just needs a little more time to further understand this character.
I have faith Gong Xi will be able to perform to your satisfaction.
I'll stake my honor on it.
Let's work hard together.
Thank you, Mr. Lian.
Healthy, low in calories, and guilt-free, a feather-light new formula.
Noitom.
Cut! Okay.
One take, okay. Let's take a break.
Hey!
Why haven't you come to see me in so long?!
I miss you, miss you.
Hey. I saw the first episode of Dark Moon.
I got really mad after watching.
Why are you mad?
I'm mad...
that Wei Xi was played so well.
I'm mad about your natural talent.
I'm mad at myself for having such an awesome friend, but I'm a deadbeat.
Aiya. You're not a deadbeat.
Didn't you accept a really great idol drama?
But your success puts me under a lot of pressure.
You must be joking.
You and I, the two of us share a relationship without pressures.
Our relationship is about mutual encouragement and working hard together.
Do you even need to say that?
Qin, you have to work hard too.
No matter what role you take on, I'll definitely be quietly supporting you.
Then you need to keep improving too.
If I find out you did a lousy job playing a role,
I'll cut off all ties with you straightaway.
Okay.
Hey. Do you have any new plans now that you're done with your drama?
Um...
I want to go on vacation.
Huh?
The company didn't schedule a new drama for you?
There are discussions going on but nothing's confirmed yet.
Clearly it's different for a newbie versus a top actor.
I heard that Dun He Lian already went to Taitung to film a new drama.
- Really? - Yes.
Oh, yeah. Where did you say you want to go for vacation?
I haven't decided yet.
As if under a spell, I unconsciously got on a train headed to Taitung.
Why did I come here?
Is it because this is my hometown or because of Mr. Lian that I'm here now?
After concluding filming for Dark Moon, I haven't seen Mr. Lian.
This place hasn't changed at all.
- Thanks for coming. - Thanks for coming.
- Thanks for coming. Goodbye.
Walk more slowly.
I'm able to think back on the past in such a calm fashion,
this indicates I've truly let go of Shang.
My anger has dissipated.
There's no longer resentment and no longer pain.
Mr. Lian?
Gong Xi.
It's really you.
What are you doing here?
This is my hometown and I grew up here, so I came back for a visit.
Mr. Lian, what are you doing here?
Um...
I was filming nearby and just happened to have a break,
so I'm taking a walk.
Oh.
Mr. Lian still looks like he's under a lot of stress.
Mr. Lian, could you put out your hand?
Do you still remember this?
One time, I accidentally lost it at the office and you picked it up for me.
It's called Corn. Do you remember?
I don't really remember.
What are you giving me this for?
Because it's been bothering me for a while.
I don't know what I should do to help you relieve some of your stress.
I unintentionally overheard your conversation with the CEO last time.
You looked like you were under a lot of pressure.
I know there are lots of things I shouldn't ask about...
so just now I suddenly thought to myself
maybe Corn can give you some encouragement.
Put it up to the sunlight and its color will change.
Are you thinking I sound like an idiot?
Like this?
Yes.
Wow, it's beautiful.
Is this magic?
The color changed.
It's magic.
Once Corn's color changes,
then your mood will also become more relaxed,
because Corn will absorb all your unhappy emotions.
It's a gemstone that eats away all depression.
She's as simple and pure as she was as a child.
She hasn't changed at all.
Do you not believe what I said?
I don't disbelieve you.
You were clearly smirking at me just now.
Since you don't believe me, I have no choice but to share a secret.
But you must not tell anyone, because it's a huge secret.
Back then, it was a boy who gave me this Corn.
Whenever he wanted to see me,
he had to do so furtively so no one else would find out.
This was because his true identity is...
the Prince of the Celestial World.
He told me this personally. There's no doubt about it.
How old is she now yet she still believes this wholeheartedly?
His father is the king of the Celestial World.
I heard that he's really big.
His hands are large enough to encircle all of the Celestial World.
Also, Prince's mother is the most beautiful queen in the Celestial World.
I heard that she is blessed with eternal youth.
Did you snicker just now?
I didn't.
You obviously did.
I really didn't.
Corn really is the Prince of the Celestial World.
I really didn't laugh at you.
I'm sorry.
I really had no intention of mocking you.
Corn once flew up into the sky.
He told me that.
He said he sprouted wings several times,
but each time he tried to fly high,
his father would extend a huge hand and stop him.
Then he'd rip up his wings, so he couldn't fly high again.
He once said that his father's hands are too large,
so he couldn't fly freely in the sky.
It's been ten years since he last appeared.
I've always believed that he's okay now.
The present Corn has surely grown up to be an outstanding adult
and possesses a pair of wings more dazzling than anyone else's.
Director Xu Fang has found his own path.
You should also stop living in your father's shadow.
I imagine he is now able to fly very far and very high.
He can fly beyond the reach of his father's huge hands.
Mr. Lian?
Are you thinking that what I'm saying makes no sense?
That's hard to say.
This world is full of many kinds of challenges.
Many of those challenges are difficult to accomplish.
Why must you burst my bubble?!
What I'm saying is true.
But I believe that Corn was born into this world to one day become king.
As a king, he sits above all others,
so he must have innate abilities.
Before, he couldn't fly high and couldn't surpass his father,
because he was still young.
I have faith that Corn can do it.
He surely can because he's Corn!
The girl walking towards you is the magic that will save you.
This is love.
When you hurt someone unintentionally...
(What should you do?)
This is love. (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (Taking you by surprise...)
You feel discouraged yet full of anticipation. (Taking you by surprise...)
You say you don't believe this is love.
My Friend,
I want to smooth your furrowed brows.
Those worries you haven't fully expressed,
I'll return this to you.
I can actually tell;
Huh? You don't want it?
it's all because love is stirring up trouble.
I don't want it because I've already found...
The more you renounce love,
the more it draws near.
The magic that will save me...
Regardless of location, situation, or time,
you suddenly want to make mischief
and you abruptly expose your weakness.
(Being led around by him...)
Beneath the blue sky, you recall past loves.
You thought if you didn't depend on anyone,
then there wouldn't be any sorrow.
(Missing out on true love...)
You stare quietly into space, (Missing out on true love...)
murmuring softly to yourself.
Your tone is filled with frustration.
(Who are you confessing to?)
I've already found...
I'm sorry, Baby.
This is love.
you.
When you hurt someone unintentionally...
(What should you do?)
This is love. (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (What should you do?)
When your personality changes... (Taking you by surprise...)
You feel discouraged yet full of anticipation. (Taking you by surprise...)

When you leave in a huff...
(Don't want to leave...)
This is love. (Don't want to leave...)
When you secretly regret... (Don't want to leave...)
When you secretly regret... (Memories are generous.)
Love that's never been tested, (Memories are generous.)
Love that's never been tested,
can't be considered real love.
I've already found...
you.
What are you doing?
I think I got sand in my eye.
Are you asking me to blow the sand out?
Of course not. I can wipe it away.
You really don't want this?
This is your cherished possession.
If I need it, I'll borrow it from you then.
Take good care of it.
Of course! Corn gave it to me.
I'll take good care of it.
Gong Xi.
Let's work hard together.
In my mind, you've become an admirable opponent.
Let's keep working hard and stand on the brilliant stage.
Let's act together. Let's hone our acting skills together.
Let's become great actors together.
All right?
Yeah.
I'll work twice as hard.
I won't lose to you.
Mr. Lian actually said I've become an admirable opponent in his mind.
Is this really true?
I can't believe it.
Thank you, Mr. Lian.
It was you who made me understand
that my heart wasn't corroded by vengeance.
I still have lots and lots of love
to convey via one drama after another.
I'll move every single person in the world.
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo.
The lights shine on me, the one who really loves you.
I practice my lines. How do I perform flawlessly
and make your heart flutter?
Did you really think I would love you once more?
Do you take me for a fool, you bastard!?
No matter how many times I've suffered defeat,
I still won't turn back.
If an apology could right all wrongs, then no one would end up in hell!
Because you have the smile I want to possess every time we meet.
Sometimes I doubt myself.
I've duly received your invitation to a battle.
I blame myself for not being lucky enough.
You can't rescind it now.
I'm scared I'll spoil you with too much affection,
Since you're being so forthright about giving me a chance to debut,
but I'd still rather believe... Baby.
I'll accept this ticket into the entertainment circle.
Love is an extravagant solo show.
I'm not afraid of ridicule. Eventually, you'll be moved.
Gong Xi!
Love is solo. Oh, S - o - l - o
We're from LME's Love Me Dept.
Love is a cruel solo show, up on the stage.
Your glance is overflowing with sparks.
Love is solo, the most beautiful extravagance.
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo Solo.
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
For you, I want to... Solo Solo.
Love is like a battle arena. Solo Solo.
S - o - l - o
Love is a solo show. Solo Solo.
Love is like a battle arena. Solo Solo.
What are you doing here? You'd better put on your uniform quickly.
Uniform?
Put on what uniform?
Of course it's the Love Me Dept uniform.
What?
I've already officially debuted,
why do I still have to put on the Love Me Dept uniform?
Have you gotten all your stamps?
Have you already won the love of every person at the company?
Do you carry out every action with other people's good in mind?
Do you understand what love is?
Yes.
I understand now what love is.
It's keeping others in mind and being willing to give.
I'll bring love into every role that I take on.
In which case, I don't have to wear the Love Me Dept uniform anymore, right?
That's still not enough.
Why not?
I must receive orders from the CEO
in order to cancel your position with the Love Me Dept.
- Let's go see the CEO then. - The CEO isn't in.
- Where did he go? - He went to Brazil for a carnival party.
He won't be back until next month.
During this time, better obediently stay with the Love Me Dept
and continue to fulfill the Love Me Dept missions. Got it?
What?
Is anyone around?
That's how it is.
That's not right.
- This works out perfectly. - No!
I'm full of love already.
- Go change. - No.
Whining is not going to help.
- Go and change. Go. - No way.
I know how to whine too.
I'll continue to work hard towards reaching the throne of best actress in the industry.
With a heart full of love, consideration for others and a desire to care and give.
CEO, can you hear me?
Hurry and get your butt back here!
