[Showbiz] The Superstar's Rules of Romance

[70% anti-piracy]

Rina Sawa is a walking history of Japanese entertainment's evolution.

At six years old, a photo she sent to a magazine completely changed the course of her life.

When Hana*chu launched, she was one of its first exclusive models.

From then on, her face defined the beauty standards of an entire generation of Japanese girls.

As a child, she was the queen of commercials, her smiling face printed on glass bottles of Afternoon Tea.

As a teenager, she dominated Seventeen's fashion pages and set the trends for Shibuya 109.

The whole country watched her grow up, doted on her, and revered her.

She was the "daughter of Japan," so perfect she seemed like a symbol of her era.

And yet...

This darling of the nation had been in the industry for over a decade, but her only two relationships had both ended in failure.

The reason for each breakup was exactly the same:

"Rina, I can't feel that you love me."

She was bewildered. But I'd done everything I was "supposed to do"! I'd put so much "effort" into it!

Convinced the problem was with them, Rina continued searching for her next love without a shred of mercy.

Kwon Ji Yong met Rina, a child star known throughout Japan, 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, and nearly pushed her away for good.

After finally getting together, Kwon Ji Yong realized: She! Had! No! Idea! How! To! Date!

Love-struck Kwon Ji Yong gritted his teeth. "I'll teach you."

He taught her to rely on him, to be willful, to love someone without holding anything back.

He gave her everything he knew, but as he taught her, he fell deeper and deeper himself. And the first thing she learned...

Was push-and-pull?!

Kwon Ji Yong: What the hell...?
