Drama: My Shining Girl (자체발광 그녀) Episode 2 Recap


Rating: Undecided Yet/10

(Note: I have decided to do this in parts since I can't watch all these episodes in one day. Therefore, I will not do a rating till I finish the series. On the last episode, I will post the rating for the entire series.)

This episode rating: 7/10

In the second episode, after their bicker, she is annoyed and angry at his up-handed ways. She decides to put aside her pride and asks him to please give her a chance. He scoffs and leaves.

At the meeting, she learns that they are trying to get that star for their show. However, he can't do it because on that same day, there is a famous talk show. The PD gives her the job of trying to convince the star to do their show.

Her friend, the ex-wife of the PD, calls to tell her about the star being in the hospital. She asks if it is something that she can catch. Because their friendship is shaky, her friend tells her that it is not. She tries to gain the star's attention by sending him flowers. Meanwhile, the star meets up with the woman who is having a scandal with him. She just wants to have a part in a show he is also acting in. He tells her that's impossible because he is horrible at acting and if he adds her horrible acting into the mix, it is just disgracing the acting profession.

At work, the writer has to put up with her rude co-workers that scoff at her silly attempts to win the star over. They help her wake up to the fact that she isn't trying hard enough. She says she will go see him herself.

The friend, ends up calling her ex-husband, the PD and tells him that the star has Hepatitis B and to tell the writer to be careful. Guess someone grew a heart. 

The writer calls her friend who works for the star (How convenient..) to set up a meeting. She interrupts him and tells him that she knows what's wrong with him and that she will see to it herself. He says fine and that he will set something up. She wants to see him in 15 -20 mins. Her friend is worried about her going, but she still insists so he leads the way. Sounds like the new actress he slept with and is blackmailing him gave him Hep B. Sucks to be him! His manager warns him not to leave the hospital or he will fire him. He angrily throws his phone and it ends up hitting the plant she give him. What are the chances?

The writer tries to talk to him, but he refuses. He even tosses a pillow at her. He also calls for his security to kick her out. She is pissed. The PD calls her to warn her about the star's condition, but she angrily hangs up before he gets the chance. Meanwhile, his friend takes his phone and runs off on him.

She goes out to drink alone. (Alcohol doesn't solve everything sheesh!) She is thinking about their memories together. They were in love and together for years and it was sweet. But at 4 years, they started to get too used to each other and there were some problems. By the 5th year, they were feeling contempt for one another.

Meanwhile, the star is feeling hungry and goes to get his phone to call for food. However, he broke his phone when he threw it earlier. He picks up the hospital phone but realizes he doesn't remember any numbers. (The ease of a cell phone has spoiled us all. xD ) He sees the plant he broke and realizes it is the woman who came to see him earlier. He sees that she has left her number, so he calls her. The writer was surprised. He tells her he is sorry for being so rude earlier and made it sound like he has reconsidered talking to her, but also bring him some food. She comes and he just tells her to leave. She still wants to talk to him and he says that he isn't feeling well. She says she knows. He thinks to himself: "Is this girl crazy? She knows what I have and she still wants to be so close." She introduces herself and wants to shake his hand, but he can't so he doesn't. She even feeds him food. He notices that she looks familiar. She thinks to herself and remembers the wine incidence. She lies and says that they haven't met before.

Her friends are on the phone with one another and the truth is revealed that the star has Hep B and that their friend wants to go talk to him. They both agree that even though she can catch Hep B, it's not like the first time they meet, they would be eating together face to face. Boy are they wrong! They even share food... even worse, it is soup! Tsk tsk. This girl is crazy! He spits up a bit and it gets all over her. She doesn't mind. She is SO catching it. 

Next day, she even makes him food. She continues to try and convince him to do the show. He realizes that the PD he doesn't get along with is the PD to that show. He decides to meet the PD. She goes to tell him. The PD calls him and the star says he doesn't want to talk to him on the phone. He refuses and tells the writer to go talk to him instead. The PD makes her in charge of the star. He asks if she is feeling ok. She doesn't get it. He says forget it and they part ways.

The star uses her as an errand runner. The manager and the writer's friend talk about why the star is hanging out with the writer so much when everyone else is busy avoiding him. The manager guesses, "Is it because she likes him?"

The writer brings him ice cream like he asked. She was walking to his room when she overhears some nurses saying the star has Hep B. The nurses also talk about who that girl is that keeps visiting him. The nurses say that as long as they don't eat food with mixed saliva, it is ok. She goes to get herself a blood test to be sure. She has caught it. She recalls her friend lying to her and the PD asking if she is feeling ok. I bet she thinks they planned it together. Oh no! what now?

Until next episode...
