I loved the show but the ending didn't fully appease me. Same goes with the anime. I tried reading the manga but it was too tedious with issues still in the making. Anyways, I love skip beat it's definitely one of the best manga/anime I've ever had on my list. The show, ohh I loved it. Siwon definitely became my Ren. Ivy, Donghae were just adorable as well. And ohh the manager, our dear Yashiro aka Mr. Du. I loved him tonnes.

PROLOGUE

It's been three months since Dark Moon commenced. Gong Xi still works in the LME's Love Me Department, happy to be assisting the artists and staff despite managing her own projects. Dark Moon has given her enough fame. People recognize her. Some even started respecting her. Of course there are still those who choose to keep mocking the Love Me Dept. but she just doesn't care.
Her studies in the university are going good too. Everything suddenly seemed to be perfect to her. And another miraculous thing that happened in these past three months was becoming friends with Shang again. Yes. She's now friends with her once best friend who she had recently wanted to strangle to death. Things just happened. Shang apologized to her one day when they crossed paths in a studio terming her as an old friend. She had only agreed to forgive him for the sake of the prying eyes but now she's slowly warming up to the guy. The philosophy classes she's been attending at the University also seem to have taken a toll on her. She somehow found the concept of forgive, forget and move on really appeasing. If someone truly regrets something and asks for your forgiveness, you should just grant him forgiveness. Well, she isn't someone to go by philosophies alone. She would make sure he would repent furthur before forgiving that rotten man.
That aside, it's been two months since she last saw Dun He Lian. Surprisingly, Mr. Lian was back to his cold ways, in a sense that he acted very formal with her and their conversations were clipped. Dark Moon had given an impression that she had gotten close to that man. But, alas. It's sad, at times lonely because she never got to see his cute, heartfelt smiles anymore. Did she say cute?
She pauses mentally cursing herself. It's been a good while, no a great while since she found a guy's smile cute… It has always been Shang…. Shang.. Who broke her heart! She swore she wouldn't give that special spot to anyone else. Call it fear of heartbreak or anything, but she didn't want to have those special feelings again. But whenever she was with Mr. Lian, it seemed to be the opposite. She couldn't help smile at the sight of him. Just a glance from him made her heart flutter. A feeling of joy filled her heart every time she thought of him. Worst thing- she couldn't shake off these feelings. She thinks back to her imaginary kiss with him back in Taitung when she was on vacation. Just how strong her feelings were? To have propelled her to think like that?
With a shake of her head, she adjusts her jumpsuit's collar. Strange she no longer hated this gaudy pink uniform, nor did she carried the urge to rip Bu Po Shang's posters into bits. The last time she saw that man, she even chatted with him a bit. All thanks to Mr. Lian…. But… she hasn't seen him in a long while now. She wanted to tell him that she's truly forgiven Shang.. That she's friends with that pig again… Mr. Lian would then smile… probably praise her like last time..
Damn.she groans. Mr. Lian again! I swore… I'd never let my heart flutter for anyone else… falling in love, having these feelings would only mean doom….
Wait… Falling in love isn't scary! It's something I've learnt in the Love Me Dept. I have forgiven shang, I found a purpose because I could love everything again…
Damn… What am I thinking again…. Gong Xi… there's no way he would feel that way towards you… no way… damn… god damn...
There again her thoughts, betraying herself.

The next day. Gong Xi is elated to learn both President Li and Dun He Lian are back in the LME. she breaks into a run as soon as she's summoned to a meeting in the president's office, ignoring Executive Shen who's shouting behind her back asking her not to run.
Mr. Lian is back…
Soon she finds herself in the president's office… a parallel universe. Wait is she on Mars now?
And there's Mr. Lian! His eyes meet hers briefly. She bows and he gives a mere nod. The CEO is dressed in an odd outfit, like someone from outer space.
CEO Li- "In my absence.. I hope you've been doing good."
Luo Li greets the people close to him who gathered there. Marie rushes to hug Gong Xi Jie Jie.
Gong Xi returns the hug and looks on as the president addresses Lian.
CEO- "Lian, it's been a while."
Lian- "Yes, President."
CEO- "Gong Xi…"
Gong Xi- "I'm good, sir. My life…. Is finally back under control. And… we've missed you sir."
CEO - *chuckle* "I missed you too Gong Xi... Lian? What about you?
Lian- "I'm good too sir. I never let my life get out of control."
Lian gives the old man a thin smile, his words as stoic and emotionless as ever.
Gong Xi- "Sometimes I think being a little out of control is good."
CEO Li laughs at that.
CEO- "Yes, Gong Xi is right, Lian. you should loosen up boy."
The CEO smiles and then thinks to himself… what happened? He seemed to be well last time? Did things get sour between him and Gong Xi again? Why?
Executive Shen, Lian's Manager Mr. Du silently watch the exchange. Lian doesn't argue further. So CEO turns to Gong Xi again.
"I've heard you've forgiven that guy who hurt you… what's his name … ? uh…"
Gong Xi's jaw drops. News sure travel fast! Does this mean Mr. Lian knows it too? Then why doesn't he look happy? He should be happy she has forgiven him, right?
"Um,... yeah… I did. I know.. He has deeply wounded me but … I think… the best way to move on is to forgive… I somehow found that philosophy appealing… If I really want to forget those bad memories the best way would be to forgive, forget and move on…"
"Whoa! Those philosophy classes have done something to you Gong Xi.." Mr. Du comments.
"Yeah. I think everyone should just forget their past just focus on their present.. Like it's too bad if you are never allowing yourself to move on.. Keeping dark things in your heart and denying all the happiness you could get right now?"
CEO raises a brow at this. Then he chuckles patting the lady on her back.
"True Gong Xi… you may go now…."
He disperses everyone except Lian.
"I think you should forgive your past and move on too, Lian… I've said this before."
"It isn't easy…"
"Lian?"
"I've got work to do. Good day Mr. President. Dubushi!"
He flies out of the room thinking….. 'If only… if only it is easy to forget, forgive and move on…..'
