Ex-Boyfriend: Episode 3

Episode 2 left me disgruntled (is this Taming of The Shrew redux?), but HELLO Episode 3! I am so ON this bandwagon. So many surprising things in this episode: Chun Jiao, whose voice had only three ranges before (YELL, YELL, and YELL) shows that she has got a kick-ass Contemplative Narration Voice that rivals that of Rainie Yang's. I got what I asked for and was left crying in that scene, and as you know, tears = approval in my book. Lead actress Gina Lee has got superb comic timing which caught me by surprise (read: spit-take) since she has been so straight-laced and severe throughout the show.

~Tip Three: Believe, even if in the middle of it is a lie~


An Zhen, wanting to assist Rui Fan in his promotion, begins to plan a grand dinner party. Everything has to be perfect, and so upon hearing the fact that Rui Fan's boss fancies antiques, she goes off to buy one, believing that it will with help Rui Fan's promotion. In short, she is trying hard to suck up to the boss.

An Zhen searches high and low, and she spots an imitation porcelain vase on display at an antique shop. She excitedly pulls Rui Xuan and goes in to bargain (a must for ahjummas) for the porcelain vase. In the midst of bargaining, she hesitates on the amount to settle on, and suddenly, in came a gentleman who bought it right there and then! 


A fuming An Zhen abruptly snatches it off the buyer's hands. She emerges victorious (or more like the other fellow didn't bother to stop her), but at the critical moment she slips and fall, sending the porcelain vase into a thousand pieces (adieu vase! you had a short but meaningful life, bringing this two individuals to meet again).
