Drama: My Shining Girl (자체발광 그녀) Episode 4 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: /10

In the fourth episode, we start off with the actress giving the writer a hard time. Does she kneel in front of the actress and apologize? Or does she give the actress a well deserving slap? I was hoping for the latter, but the writer slowly starts to kneel and the guys just leave the room. What a bunch of pussies! 

They go on to plan the show. At the meeting, I caught both guys looking at her, worried. Dumbasses can't show their concern by telling that bitch actress to eff off?

The writers co-worker tells her they are about to go out drinking together. She is in a bad mood so she says she wants to skip out. However, her co-worker tells her its not a request so she goes.

At the gathering, they congratulate her about her work, however, she is in a bad mood even though she is trying her best not to ruin the mood by faking a smile. They drink and ask her how she managed to get the star to agree. Each co-worker keep getting her to drink. The PD is worried and tells her to drink slowly. Aww... so you care about her NOW? More drinks are passed around. I hardly see any food being eaten! Damn alcoholics! Then comes mixing drinks. Her female co-workers seem to want to try to our drink her. However, she just keeps drinking! Later on, her three female co-workers went to go have some instant noodles. They talk about how she says she never eats instant noodles, but she is hiding at home eating instant noodles. Her family makes fun of her and go back to sleep.

Their show goes off without a hitch. The underground rock and roll music segment isn't too bad. Not quite my type of music and I don't understand it, but it's not bad. There are minor setbacks and the second band were taking too long and two of the band members didn't leave the stage all the way and were making out. Looks like somebody is about to get in big trouble!

At the meeting, everyone is unhappy because they all feel like they are about to get fired. Her co-workers all give her a hard time because she is the one who was responsible for that group.

Meanwhile, the star is laughing to himself saying where did the PD get the idea to use "fireworks" as a distraction? He keeps musing to himself saying how is it because gays can recognize other gays? Maybe the PD is gay too! He continues to laugh, not knowing the PD's ex-wife is in the van (because she works for him).

The PD is getting yelled at by his boss. He says he will write a resignation letter. Oh no! How can his job be saved?

The star is watching television and it talks about the huge scandal and how the band members made a public apology. The star was all excited and wanted to hear about the PD getting fired, but was disappointed. What a jerk.. haha. 

At home, the writer's family are all criticizing the show.

At work, the PD tells them that the situation is handles. The female co-workers are all worried and ask him about whats going on with him. He tells them he is taking a break. The writer is upset and goes to talk to him alone; telling him that he shouldn't just take all the blame and leaving. She says she wants to take responsibility, but he took it all. She tells him she is determined and dedicated to her choice in this job.

Later, she goes to a tea shop with her friend and she whines to her friend.

Meanwhile, the PD is moving to a different office where it is all dusty and his friend/co-worker help him clean up. His friend/co-worker say that the PD is lucky that he convinced them to let him stay.

The next day at work, she goes to work and they tell her it seems that they heard she is getting fired. The PD is unhappy and goes to tell his boss that he thought the situation was over and that it wasn't the writer's fault.

She goes to yell at him, thinking it was his fault because he has been trying to get rid of her and then he said he would protect her, but he seemed to have lied to her.

The star pops up behind her and says that she doesn't need to quit. It seems like he is willing to help her. She tsks him and leaves. LOL. As she leaves, he says that if she ever needs help, he will try his best.

She goes to the bathroom, but as she leaves, she overhears the boss and the star talking about her. They say how it is unfortunate how shes so old and wonder about what she is going to do now. The star is surprised and asks how old. He tells him that she is at least 30 and how she was lucky to even make it into this television station. She is angry and she writes her letter of resignation and storms into her boss' office. He just giggles and accepts it and keeps taunting her and says how he doesn't even remember her name. The PD witnesses this and runs after her, however, he doesn't do much but give her her bag.

She goes home in a bad mood and takes her anger out at her brother. Her brother sells fried chicken, but he wants to buy an expensive track suit. He wants his sister to help him buy it. She yells at him saying that he should know his place. Her silly brother asks her for 30,000 dollars and he will figure out the other 40,000 dollars for the track suit. She just rolls her eyes.

She sits in her room and starts crying and replaying the memories of all that happened as she worked at that television station.

That night, the star is in his HUGE closet, trying out his clothes. His manager and assistant stop him from going out to fraternizing with more women. He says she is one hotty! The manager tells him to spend his night with these hotties instead and throws a bunch of porn star dvds on his table. His manager sternly tells him to not to get into any more trouble. Guess he must stay in and sleep a night without a woman to warm his bed!

The writer and her father go and take a walk to try to cheer her up. He tells her that asking for help and giving help is part of life.

The writerdecides to give up her pride and call her friend (the ex-wife of her ex-boyfriend) and asks her if the star really has that much influence. Her friend tells her yes and she asks her friend for a meeting with the star. She has decided to fight rather then try to hide.

Until next episode...
