[Showbiz] The Superstar's Rules of Romance

Rina Sagisawa: a walking history of Japanese entertainment's evolution. At age six, a photo sent to a magazine changed the course of her life forever. When Hana*chu launched, she became one of its original exclusive models. From then on, her face defined an entire generation of Japanese girls' sense of beauty. As a child, she was the queen of commercials, her smiling face printed on bottles of afternoon tea. As a teenager, she ruled the fashion pages of Seventeen and set the trends at Shibuya 109. An entire country watched her grow up, doted on her, and revered her. She was “Japan's daughter,” so perfect she seemed like a symbol of her era. And yet... This national darling of Japan had only two relationships in more than a decade in the business, and both ended in failure. The reasons for their breakups were exactly the same two sentences: “Rina, I can't feel that you love me.” She was confused. I'd done everything I was “supposed” to do! I'd put so much “effort” into it! Convinced that the problem was with them, Rina kept looking for her next romance without a second thought. * Kwon Ji-yong met Rina, the famous Japanese child star, at a party. Her looks and personality both hit all the right notes for him. He used his tried-and-true push-and-pull tactics to pursue her, but nearly drove her away. Once they finally got together, Kwon Ji-yong realized: She! Has! No! Idea! How! To! Date! The love-struck Kwon Ji-yong gritted his teeth. “I'll teach you.” He'd teach her to depend on him, to be willful, and to love someone without holding anything back. He gave her everything he knew, but the more he taught her, the deeper he fell. And the first thing she learned was push and pull?! Kwon Ji-yong: What the hell...? Theme: Don't fear hardship. Face challenges head-on
