Generally, the story's 1st episode inevitably includes an accidental encounter.
Just like the way we met, a bit cheesily.
The male and female leads have zero chemistry, until they feel a shock.
Writer stays up all night writing.
Then, you and I act out passion or decreasing fervor.
Can't be guessed with any amount of thought...
Everything is too clever, clever, clever... Destiny's trap.
Then... Then who am I?
Perhaps the woman named Rose can provide an answer for you.
During this period,
thanks for loving me.
It's time for me to exit now.
Please take care.
Mei cuo wo zai xin tiao That's right, my heart is pounding.
Mei cuo ai zai ran shao That's right, love is blazing.
Hao xiang shen shou ba ni yong bao I really want to reach out and hold you.
Shi jie na me miao xiao, wo men wang na li tao? The world is so small, where can we escape to?
Gu shi yi jue ding hao shui shi shui di zhu jiao The story is already determined, who will be whose main lead?
Xiang zhe ni de san jiao Thinking of your coyness,
Kan zhe ni de wei xiao Seeing your smile,
Zi yuan wei ni shen hun dian dao I willingly fall head over heels for you.
Bu pa bie ren wei jiao No fear of being besieged by others.
Bu ting shui di quan gao Not listening to anyone's advice.
Duo jin wo de huai bao dang zhu yi qie feng bao Escape into my embrace and be shielded from all storms.
Quan shi jie hai you shui bi wo men hai jue pei? In all this world, who is a more perfect match than us?
Wo ying gai qu ai ni bu lang fei neng xing fu de ji hui I should love you and not squander an opportunity for happiness.
Rose, losing my memory doesn't mean losing you.
I really want to start over again with you.
Do you know how much I struggled back and forth
before I was able to make this decision?
If you love me, then stop stirring up my heart.
Do you hear what Rose is saying?
Please leave.
Qian ni de shou zai ren hai zong jin tui Holding your hand, we come and go amidst a sea of people.
Shen me dou xiao zhe mian dui We'll face everything with a smile.
The person you love most keeps reappearing in your life.
He's on TV.
He's on the radio.
He even crops up in scandals
involving other celebrities.
[I don't want to think about him anymore.] involving other celebrities.
Seeing how much the person you love hurt you,
all I can do is
let you cry and be sad.
That's the only way for you to gradually heal.
I can see your pain and heartache.
I also know that in your heart,
you still love that Eason.
But Ming Ming,
sometimes the person you love most
isn't necessarily the best one.
You have to place him in a corner of your heart
and say goodbye to him.
That's the only way you can find someone else who is more suitable for you.
But if I continue to keep him in my heart,
won't I be unable to see more beautiful landscapes?
Aiya, silly girl.
That's not how it works.
You have to think of your heart
as vast and large.
That person is only in a corner of your heart, keeping your company.
That way, your heart will be vacant so another person can enter.
Mom doesn't have any extravagant hopes of holding a grandson.
I just wish that while I'm still living,
I'll see you find someone to spend the rest of your life with,
who is willing to take care of you.
Otherwise, when I'm gone,
you'll be alone.
How could I not worry?
Don't say things like that.
Don't cling to a relationship that cannot be.
Aiya.
You're not young anymore.
I'm not trying to rush you.
There's a pretty good suitor in front of you.
Maybe you can't immediately accept a new relationship,
but you can try to date him and see.
What if this one
also leaves me hurt again?
Aiya!
You haven't even tried dating him yet
and you're already assuming that he'll hurt you.
Trust me.
I have a keen eye for picking out a son-in-law.
When you're young,
you can engage in a passionate love affair;
but if you're looking for a marriage partner,
you have to find someone suitable in age,
who is willing to take care of you.
Ideally, he should love you more than you love him.
That way, you'll be happy.
Yeah.
Sometimes the person you love most
isn't necessarily the best one.
You have to place him in a corner of your heart
and say goodbye to him.
That's the only way you can find someone else who is more suitable for you.
Saying goodbye to the one I love most...
is hard.
But, even if it's hard,
even if it's painful
I still must try and say goodbye to him.
Is that it?
If that's what I need to do
in order to move on,
then Eason,
I'll do my best.
I'll do my best to say goodbye to you.
I'll do my best to store you in a corner.
I'll do my best not to stir up those memories.
Then...
Hello?
Why did you think of asking to meet up here?
Of course one comes to a skating rink to skate.
Skate?
I don't know how.
Isn't your leading lady's first profession that of a skater?
Leading lady?
Oh. You mean " The Clouds of Life? "
Yes.
My dad read the outline and the first episode script.
As I expected, he likes it a lot.
Moreover, he has decided to invest in your drama.
Really?
He's really willing to invest?
I haven't finished what I was saying. Don't get so happy too soon.
After reading the first episode script,
he thinks your story is warm and unpretentious.
Especially in episode 1,
he found what happens to the leading man and leading lady
and the way they first meet to be very touching.
However...
within your episode 1 script,
there is no mention of the leading lady's profession.
He wants to give you a special reminder
to try to stay close to real life in your upcoming scripts
and don't veer too far from the masses.
Stay close to real life.
I want to write a drama like that, too.
That's also why I asked you to come out today.
Having you try out skating is also
the first step in getting to know your leading lady. Right?
Of course, you don't have to become as professional as an Olympic athlete.
But you need to develop an understanding
of the technique and difficulties of ice skating,
as well as the pain of falling.
This will be a great help for you in creating this character.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Huh?
Aren't you asking an obvious question?
Isn't it common to be nice to the person you like?
But,
I'm not that great.
I'm not worth you doing this for.
Actually,
I have no right to say whether you're good enough or not.
I only know that I like you.
I think about you every day.
I want to be with you forever.
Ming Ming,
could you give me some time
to get to know you more?
Someone who has suffered a lot of pain as a result of love,
for her to able to reciprocate your feelings
in a short period of time is basically impossible.
But at the very least,
there's one thing I'm still able to give,
and that just so happens to be time.
Do you skate?
Come on.
Even though I'm not the best skater,
don't worry, I'll hold onto your hand tightly.
I won't let you fall.
I don't know if I've reached the starting point of a new landscape,
but I'll just keep going forward.
Eason, I'll do my best to seal up the memories.
I'll do my best to learn to think of you
without feeling sad.
[One year later] without feeling sad.
[One year later] And then,
[One year later] we'll both be happy respectively.
[One year later] Later on, before the last break,
we'll first show a video.
While the video is played,
the host will want you to introduce the contents of the video
to illustrate the importance of your book.
Okay. Thanks.
I'm sorry. We're all set.
- Okay. - Sorry. We're still...
It's okay. I'm ready.
Okay. Thanks. Thanks.
I'm sure that our audience has all recently heard of or read
the best-seller, " Ending Without Saying Goodbye. "
We're honored to have with us here today the author of this book,
who is also the scriptwriter for many TV dramas,
Ms. Wang Ming Ming.
Teacher Ming Ming, hello.
Hello.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Wang Ming Ming.
I've read this book twice.
I had different feelings both times.
Could you first discuss with us,
why you came up with the idea to release this book?
Why is it in essay form rather than a novel
or a script book?
I've loved reading since I was a child.
I'm very happy that after growing up,
I have an opportunity to tell everyone a story.
Even up until now,
I still hope that my story appears in the form of a TV drama.
Thus for the time-being, I have no plans to release a novel.
As for why this book, "Ending Without Saying Goodbye," exists,
I think I have to start with the drama,
"The Season Rose Blooms. "
You're referring to the idol drama that was very popular a little over a year ago?
If I remember correctly,
that was also the first drama that you helmed, right?
Yes.
That drama kicked off my popularity
and also made me identify more with drama work.
At the same time,
it was also my testimony
to a love story that comes to an eventual end.
Oh, so "Ending Without Saying Goodbye"
points to someone who started a romance because of a drama?
The drama already wrapped filming,
but the romance continued.
Is that what it means?
Yes.
The relationship is over
and the end has come,
but you still can't say goodbye.
There's still that regret.
Is it based on your own personal experience?
The story in the book
is based on me and my friends.
Actually, I just wanted to share snippets about
work, life, and love.
It's not really important who the story is about, right?
I imagine that someone like you who has written so many dramas
that are lauded and draw large audiences
must have a lot of life experiences.
Could you share with us your current love story?
I think many people probably have a lot of illusions
about the love story of an idol drama scriptwriter.
In fact...
In fact my relationship is wonderful
and also very ordinary.
I'm just like everybody else.
As for all the romantic plot points,
those only occur in what I write.
Then, does your boyfriend have any thoughts
about you becoming a best-selling author?
He is very supportive and encouraging,
which enables me to be at ease working.
That's all?
You won't share a little more with us?
For example, what he looks like,
his profession, or how he pursued you?
Tell us a little more.
He's a very low-key person.
I... want to still be able to walk around
and go to the movies freely with him after this.
Please don't pressure me anymore.
All right. It seems I'll have to work harder
if I want to squeeze any additional information out of you.
Okay, let's take a break.
After the commercial break,
we'll discuss popular quotes from "Ending Without Saying Goodbye. "
Cut!
All right. Fix up the set.
Hey, Producer.
Everything's okay. Everything's okay.
Okay. All right.
The equipment is good.
Thanks.
All right!
- Mom, I'm home. - Auntie.
Have you eaten?
I'll warm up some soup.
Auntie, we've already eaten.
Please don't go to the trouble.
I'll go pour you some hot water.
Thanks.
Mom, what are you knitting?
Huh?
You can't tell?
It's a sweater.
Another one for Yun Kai?
Didn't you just make him a scarf?
Auntie, have some water.
You're knitting that for me?
Thank you so much, Auntie.
That's unfair.
I'm your daughter.
I don't have a single... anything.
Right.
You have a stylist handling that for you now.
You don't need this from me.
How did you know that I like to wear sweaters in the winter?
You're my good friend and soon-to-be son-in-law.
Of course I must know what you like to eat and wear.
Even if I don't know, I can go online and search.
Thanks, Auntie.
Then let's make a deal.
You knit me a sweater
and I'll treat you to a delicious vegetarian meal some time.
A new vegetarian restaurant just opened across from my art gallery.
It's really good. I'll take you there some time.
Okay. Okay.
Hey, when did the two of you get so close?
How is it that I didn't know?
Stop squabbling. Stop squabbling.
The interview is about to start.
Teacher Ming Ming, hello.
Hello.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Wang Ming Ming.
- I've read this book twice.
- Huh? - I've read this book twice.
- That's what you wore to go on TV? - I've read this book twice.
- That's what you wore to go on TV? - I had different feelings both times.
- I don't look good? - I had different feelings both times.
- I don't look good? - Could you first discuss with us,
- I don't look good? - why you came up with the idea to release this book?
- Chubby. - why you came up with the idea to release this book?
- Chubby. - Why is it in essay form rather than a novel?
- I do not! - Why is it in essay form rather than a novel
- I do not! - or a script book?
Aiya. It's okay to look chubby.
Yun Kai doesn't mind so it's fine.
Mom, just watch TV.
- You keep talking. .
- You keep talking. - Even up until now,
I still hope that my story appears in the form of a TV drama.
- Aiya. Look at that host. Thus, for the time-being,
- Aiya. Look at that host. - I have no plans to release a novel.
She's plain-looking.
She's not particularly eloquent, either.
Why don't they spend more money and find a prettier one?
Why don't you do it then?
I can't do it!
Right. Right.
Then, does your boyfriend have any thoughts
about you becoming a best-selling author?
He is very supportive and encouraging,
which enables me to be at ease working.
That's all?
You won't share a little more with us?
For example, what he looks like, his profession, or how he pursued you?
Teacher Ming Ming has become so beautiful.
He's a very low-key person.
I... want to still be able to walk around
and go to the movies freely with him after this.
Please don't pressure me anymore.
It's only been a little over a year
and she has really...
really changed a lot.
All right. It seems I'll have to work harder if I want to squeeze
- She really has become more beautiful. - any additional information out of you.
It looks like leaving me was the right choice.
If she were still entangled in a relationship with me,
she definitely wouldn't have her current achievements.
Aiya. Why do you say that?
Teacher Ming Ming is doing very well,
but you're doing pretty well, too.
Right?
You only had one failed drama, that's all.
Why are you talking about yourself like that?
Do you still have lingering feelings for Teacher Ming Ming?
Regarding her becoming more beautiful or more confident,
I only wish her the best.
But I feel like when she talks about her boyfriend,
she doesn't seem to be referring to Tong Shao Tian.
Does it matter who her boyfriend is?
It's just when she talks about her boyfriend,
her facial expression...
is very...
I think
I guess you could say
by her enthusiasm
she seems to be thinking about
- All right. Mommy. - a specific person or something.
Let's not be so nosy about other people.
The most important thing right now is for us to invigorate our career.
Aren't you going to see Zhuo jie tomorrow to talk about a new project plan?
Yeah.
Are you kicking out your guest now? Is that it?
I wouldn't dare.
Qiong Zhi.
HE's album isn't selling well.
We spent money filming "New York Lovers" in America
and the viewership ratings were really bad.
I'm already having a tough time explaining to the bosses who invested.
How could I tailor-make another drama for Eason?
Zhuo jie, the music industry as a whole isn't doing well now.
Everyone knows that.
But this album is a well-produced album that's receiving public praise.
You cannot refute that.
If it doesn't sell, it doesn't sell.
What's the use of it being well-produced?
The ratings for "New York Lovers" weren't what we hoped for
and the ancient drama that Eason guest-starred in afterwards
was bashed online.
You know about that too.
Aiya. You have the nerve to mention that ancient drama?
You're the one who told him to guest star.
Eason wasn't the focus of that drama.
Why did you make him go film that kind of drama?
To put it bluntly, it was to return a favor you owed.
You, Eason, and I have a management contract.
Would I intentionally harm Eason?
I also wanted Eason to get some hype from that ancient drama.
The reality is that his fame has declined.
How about you tell me which upcoming drama
Eason has been specifically requested to star in?
Is there one?
You!
All right, Zhuo jie.
If you have that little regard for Eason,
we can dissolve our contract.
You!
Mommy.
Come on.
Sit down.
Don't get so agitated.
Everything Zhuo jie said is true.
During this past year, I really haven't had any stand-out projects.
Everyone knows this.
But did you see her attitude just now?
Okay. I'm not that weak.
Zhuo jie, I don't care if it's tailor-made or whatever.
Didn't you ask me to come today to discuss a role in a new drama?
I do have a new drama that's starting,
but it's a second male lead role.
I just don't know if you're willing to accept
a second male lead role?
Zhuo jie, are you kidding me?!
You want Eason to play second male lead now?!
Qiong Zhi, besides managing Eason with you,
I also have a huge group of workers that I have to support.
You have to understand my difficult position.
Of course I want Eason to do well,
but the studio selects the male and female leads.
There's nothing I can do.
But, can't you put up more of a fight with the studio?
Or we can arrange our own funding, and invest in a new drama ourselves!
Will that do?
Okay. Okay.
Stop giving Zhuo jie a hard time.
You...
Eason is more reasonable.
In fact, playing the second lead isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Besides, the second male lead for my new drama is very likeable.
I'm certain this drama will be a hit.
No one can say for sure.
Maybe the second lead will be more famous than the first lead.
There are tons of past examples of that. Right?
Hello?
Okay. I'll be right over.
Qiong Zhi and Eason,
you guys talk it over.
Even after you decide, you don't have to rush to tell me your decision.
The boss is looking for me.
I'm going over there.
It's okay. It's okay.
Actually, if you think about it,
there's nothing wrong with playing the second male lead.
Look.
Even though a drama doesn't focus on the second lead,
but if the ratings are low, people won't blame it on the second lead.
However, if the drama is a hit,
the second lead will definitely become famous too.
But of course if you feel it's beneath you and you don't want the role,
I absolutely won't force you.
In fact, I'm not excluding second lead roles.
The key is whether the role suits me or not
and whether there's room to grow.
You and Zhuo jie worked so hard to train me
and now I'm stuck in a rut.
I actually feel really sad about it.
So I think we should be very cautious about what we do next.
You're really willing to play second male lead?
Compared to falling to the gutter before,
it's so much better now.
We should take advantage of the present
and take a look at the script and see how it is and then decide.
You've really changed and become more mature.
You're here for a meeting too?
Yes.
How have you been lately?
Not bad.
How about you?
I'm okay.
You're here for a meeting too?
I saw your interview on TV.
You've gotten prettier and you know how to style yourself.
You look much more confident than before.
I'm okay.
Thanks.
I have things to do.
I going to go.
Wang Ming Ming.
Are you free later?
Would you like to have a cup of coffee together?
I... I really have things to do.
For better or for worse, we're old friends.
If it's still this awkward the next time we see each other,
I really won't be able to stand it.
Just time enough for a cup of coffee...
It won't take long. Chat and catch up...
Miss Wang, your usual order.
Black forest cake and latte.
- Thanks. - Is that right?
How about you, Sir?
Coffee will do.
I can't believe the waiter still remembers your order.
Because I still come here often.
This shop is still the same as before. It really hasn't changed at all.
The people here,
the trees,
and the water
are all the same as before.
Yeah?
Maybe I come here too often so I don't notice.
I guess I'm used to it.
I can't believe you've been coming to the same shop for so long.
You could phrase it differently
and say I'm afraid of change.
Certain things have changed, right?
Give it to me. I know how to play with it.
Okay. Here.
It feels like it just happened not long ago.
Do you still remember?
We came here together and bumped into your ex-boyfriend
and I got revenge for you.
Afterwards, we took a time travel machine and went on a trip together.
Do you remember?
I nearly forgot until you mentioned it.
I really wish there were a time machine that could take you back in time.
To go back to that wonderful time...
That would be great.
Eason.
I'm sorry.
I think I said too much.
I'm already happy to be able to drink coffee with you,
the way we're doing now.
Sir, latte.
Okay, thanks.
Oh, right.
Where's your boyfriend?
You're doing really well together, huh?
My boyfriend?
Yes.
You mentioned him in your TV interview.
Is that lucky person Tong Shao Tian?
It's not Shao Tian.
It's not him.
It's someone you don't know.
We're doing very well.
Really.
I know you're doing well.
You know?
For someone as quiet and shy as you
to smile so bright and naturally,
for you to announce your relationship in public
and not have to be secretive...
To love is to love.
To smile is to smile.
Sweetness is sweetness.
I'm certain
that he must be a really good person.
Now I don't have any regrets about bowing out.
But I guessed a long time ago
that there's no way that lucky guy is Tong Shao Tian
and you'd definitely meet someone who loves you a lot.
But I believe
that Shao Tian must feel the way I do.
Knowing that you've found happiness,
knowing that you're living very well,
he will feel reassured.
Of course I feel reassured too.
Why do we keep talking about me?
Let's talk about you too.
Me?
Yeah.
Didn't Pei Ni later state that the baby isn't yours?
Then you and Henry went to America to record
and you guys became good friends with Pei Ni.
That's what the news reports said.
Yes.
The three of us are indeed good friends,
especially Henry.
He takes extra good care of Pei Ni.
But...
But what?
Let's not join in on the gossiping.
We shouldn't make groundless declarations about other people's romance.
Pei Ni on the other hand,
she feels blessed to be a mom.
She's a happy mom.
Rose!
Rose, grandma's home!
What?
She's asleep?
Yes, she just fell asleep.
Lower your voice.
I know.
Rose.
Grandma bought you a toy.
Look.
It's limited edition.
Mom, stop randomly buying toys for her.
Stop buying toys.
We haven't even opened the ones you bought last time.
Aiya. What's wrong with having a lot of toys?
I'm going to Europe for vacation in a few days.
I'm worried Rose will be lonely and she'll miss me.
Rose is still young.
She doesn't know what lonely means.
Just let me enjoy being a grandmother. All right?
Okay. Okay.
Right?
All right. It seems I'll have to work harder if I want to squeeze any...
Teacher Ming Ming is very pretty.
She's just over 30, like you.
It's still fresh in my memory
how non-eyecatching she used to look.
It's like your circumstances have been reversed now.
Do I seem that down on my luck now?
No.
But there are no producers hiring you for their dramas.
This industry...
When you're famous, everyone treats you like a queen;
but if you're careless and something goes wrong,
all the people who came to you begging before,
every single one will look down on you.
I really like my current life.
Didn't I already tell you?
Right now, I just want to put my whole heart into
playing the role of a good mother in real life.
I want to take good care of Rose.
If you really want to be a good mom to Rose,
then you should work hard to find her a good dad.
Here you go again.
Mom, I'm begging you.
Don't arrange any blind dates or whatever for me.
Don't forget.
I have a tuo you ping*. (*derogatory term for stepchild)
Maybe there's someone
who doesn't see Rose as a tuo you ping.
I'm not setting up blind dates for you.
I just think
that maybe there's someone in front of you whom you haven't noticed.
Mom, if you're concerned
that I won't have anyone to depend on in the future,
you can stop all that worrying.
My career ambition is still present.
I'm just resting right now.
I'll find the right time to accept a drama.
But...
