The students finally graduate from high school! Roflol, I just loved Xiang Qin’s expression in the beginning….she was off daydreaming. XD and then everyone’s calling her name and making her wake up from her daydreaming. Ah Jin happens to come by and asks for her hand (i have to admit he’s sweet, but really annoying…) then Xiang Qin’s just looking at him like, “i don’t wanna hold your freaking hand”. but they end up walking down the aisle together (doesn’t that remind you of something else? *hinthint*) Apparently, that’s exactly what Ah Jin was thinking. Which reminds me. How in the world do people daydream and walk down an aisle holding someone else at the same time? Weird. o_O but Ah Jin’s was like, making up this whole story of how Xiang Qin and him are walking down the aisle, getting married, and then he bursts out with the words “I DO!!”. OH! and i forgot to mention…the Zhi Shu in his daydream is……sooo…..”out of ordinary”. You’d think the devil took over or something.

So then Ah Jin does more annoying things, like grab the mike outta the principal’s hand and then state a challenge to Zhi Shu. I remember something along the lines of “You think you can like Xiang Qin just ’cause you live with her? Not freaking way!”. And Xiang Qin’s just like, “Omg. This is SO embarrasing.” It’s funny how Zhi Shu’s mom is standing up protesting as well. XD

Then there was this scene where everyone was at this class reunion thingy…which was pretty funny, because of two things. One, Ah Jin had another one of is fiasco-ish daydreams. This one was pretty perverted, in my opinion. Apparently, his uber goal is to pick a karaoke song, sing it, and have Xiang Qin me mesmerized my his singing or something…in his daydream, it works, and then they start dancing, and he almost kisses her (thank HEAVENS he didn’t! >:O) but in reality, he’s sitting on a chair looking like an idiot while the waitress is standing there asking over and over again who picked that song, and if the person who picked it would start singing it already. He drags Xiang Qin to sing with him, and even though she protests at first, she ends up singing with him anyways. Unfortunately, the A Class passes by, and someone remarks, “Hah. Not only do you guys get bad grades, but you can’t sing either.” That totally pisses off the F Class.

So then it the teacher-teacher class-class battle begins…F Class’s teacher starts making his little speech about the wonderful year, blablabla, how they all got crappy grades, but it was still a wonderful year, while A Class’s teacher was making her last speech about how they all got wonderful grades, and no matter what, they all had to reach the top schools or whatever. Then the teachers start talking in the microphones and battling with each other using words XD

But then Zhi Shu started acting uncool and making really mean comments =( and Xiang Qin got mad, so she marched inside the building and started showing his classmates pictures of him dressed as a girl (thanks to his mom). I love the look on his face! XDD I could just hear him thinking: “What the SHIT.” Then he drags Xiang Qin all the way to some random area with no people, and you could tell from the look on his face that he was pretty pissed. Xiang Qin says things like, “when i go to college, I’m gonna meet a WAY better guy than you” and “I’m deciding to forget you from now on”, etc. Then, Zhi Shu dared her to find someone better than him (hahaha, he’s jealous). then, he suddenly kisses her. O_O it was super random. and not to mention, the look on his face after they broke apart, LOL. He’s thinking: “What the EF. Did I just kiss her?!?!” then (i have NO idea how this happens) but he glares at her, then sticks his tongue out, and leaves. x] not a really cool move, but totally Zhi Shu style.

It’s funny how no matter where this show goes, I always find something to laugh at. Yu Shu starts having his own romances, and even, with the help of Xiang Qin, inviting the girl (Yang Yun) over to their house to do hw and play. The stupid thing is, Yang Yun decides she likes Zhi Shu instead. XDD i mean….wth? an elementary school kid having a crush on some dude who’s just graduated from HIGH school? but yea…little kid love. And she even bakes a cake for him and tells him “You are my prince. You don’t have to give me an answer now.” That seriously cracked me up. I can’t imagine an elementary schooler talk so seriously. It’s a bit freaky, ahaha~ and she even tells him to wait till she grows up! but then Yu Shu gets really pissed =’( i feel so sry for him, haha…his first love falls in love with his older brother.

_____________________________________

I was extremely touched by this heartwarming drama. Hinako, Ann, and the President’s relationship was rocky from the beginning, and I was getting really mad that Ann’s real parents kept lieing to her about her parents, and treating her as if she were a tool to make money. But then the President made that huge sacrifice to save Ann from a scandal, and I just totally started respecting him. It was so sad to see Ann waiting and waiting for her mom…I was pretty pissed at Hinako throughout the drama, until the very end, when she finally understood what her daughter wanted. I guess all parents have their own way of showing love to their children; except their children might expect differently, lol.

I was also impressed at Mineko (the manager) and Koutaro’s growing maturity throughout the show. Koutaro starts as an independent journalist who just lives for himself. In the beginning, Mineko is an inmature manager who just believes that Ann is for work. Then, both of them are pushed together with Ann, and when the three of them become a little family, both of them start loving Ann as a child, and not treating her as an actress. Mineko and Koutaro’s relationship also starts getting more romancy, haha. Except I was kinda mad that the ending didn’t *really* state that they were together….just that she was going to live with him from then on. (Which is really weird, if they aren’t together o_O)
