Episode 1

This first one is interesting that it makes me want to dive in to the next episode.  But I thought, I had to give a summary first of what had occured.🤗

Han Yi Jing was a supermodel.  She started modeling at 19 and by 24, she was a regular at the Big Four: New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion week.  But then three years ago, she virtually disappeared due to an motor accident mired in gossips.

She was back but the gossips of three years ago refused to die down.  It got so bad when she was ask for a tv appearance which was supposed to be inspiration but turned into a gossipfest.  Han Yi Jing bravely and proudly told off the lifestyle presenter and told the audience that she was ready to return to the fashion week but it does not mean she would be an object of rumours.

Meanwhile, in a wet market, a tall handsome guy works as a fishmonger.  He was popular with the ladies.  In fact he has a sasaeng fan who refused to accept the rebuff from the handsome Jia Fan.  To get away from her, he went to see his best friend, Dong Xiao Ru, at the fashion house to deliver her some food.  There was going to be a runway show.

Jia Fan smelled of fish and a model told him so.  Far from feeling belittled, Jia Fan knew his worth.  He knew that he was handsome and tall and told the model so.  Their discussion was becoming heated when Han Yi Jing turned up.  She heard Jia Fan say that modelling was nothing, it was just a piece of cake.

Now everyone was having a say while some clothes mysteriously caught fire.  They tried to put the flame out but Jia Fan went to get a fire extinguisher.  Despite everyone, including telling Xiao Ru, for him to stop, he sprayed the clothes anyway.

Poor Han Yi Jing was stressed.  Her return to modelling is proving more frustrating and nerve-racking.  Also they were missing a male model.  Seeing that Jia Fan fits the frame of a model, they blackmailed him into standing for a missing model.

He was given a quick makeover and an even quicker instruction on how to navigate the runaway.  Apparently, it takes 25 steps and to look arrogant all the way through the ‘walk’.

It seemed Jia Fan was natural, he has a memory of his mother teaching him model walk when he was a little boy.  He instinctively did it. Even the CEO of the modelling agency, Han Jia Ling was intrigued despite Jia Fan falling down in the middle of his walk.  He did got up nonchalantly and continued his walk.

When he returned to the back room, nerves finally got to him.  Modelling is not as easy as he thought.

Han Jia Ling was not happy with all the dramas but she did inquire about Jia Fan.  She wanted to know which agency he belongs to.  Han Yi Jing had to say that he was just a passersby.

Han Yi Jing did not go to the company dinner as she knew she was just going to be quizzed about the rumours surrounding her.  She was at the carpark when a paparazzi accosted her.  He was trying to canjole her into giving him an exclusive interview.

Han Yi Jing played a recording of him as being the instigator the rumours which surrounded her.  She told him that if he persisted in hounding her, she will circulate the recording.

The papz became aggressive and tried to prise away her mobile phone from her car.  It was getting really physical but Jia Fan turned up and beat up the papz.

He then checked on Han Yin Jing who callapsed in his arms after telling him to bring her to the hospital.

Yes, I love it.
