At this difficult moment, a novice TV drama director Gao Bisheng appeared in Park Dora's life.Although he had little experience, his passion for movies and TV series never faded.He recognized that Park Dora was an underrated talent and believed she could still bounce back.

Gao Bisheng decided to personally film a TV series for Park Dora. He understood that this was a risk, but he was willing to take the risk for Park Dora.He helped Park Dora regain her confidence, and he told her that even if her career was in trouble again, he would always be by her side to support her.

Pu Dora was moved by Gao Bisheng's determination and courage, and she began to re-examine her life.She resolved not to rely on the judgment of others but to believe in her own abilities and talents.She and Gao Bisheng worked hard together on this TV series. They supported each other and overcame various difficulties together.

Their TV series was a huge success and Park Dora returned to the spotlight.Her career took off again, and Gao became a well-respected director.Their love also became more romantic and solid during this experience.

Park Dora and Gao Bisheng have become each other's greatest support and reliance.They believe in the power of love, and even in the face of difficulties and setbacks, they will move forward together.Their stories have also become legends in the entertainment industry. People were moved by their persistence and courage and gave them endless applause and blessings.

Dora was taken into the karaoke hall by her mother Mercy. Mercy's performance today did not go well and her income was meager. Their family is currently in financial difficulty.Mercy Corps then gave Dora the task of caring for her younger brother.

The camera turned to the campus. Dora received strange looks from her classmates because of her family background, but she still faced it with strength.The teacher's kind assistance made her feel warm, but it also exposed the hardship of her life.On the way home, something went wrong with Dora's trolley. Fortunately, Bi Sheng came to help, and the fate of the two was intertwined.

As the plot progresses, Dora's family falls into deeper troubles.The appearance of the thugs revealed Mercy's debt problem. By coincidence, Dora met Bi Sheng again in her new residence.

On the other side, at the memorial service of Soo-yeon's father-in-law, the appearance of his mistress triggered family disputes, and Jin-tae's decision revealed the conflicts within the family.

Dora's feelings for Bi Sheng deepened day by day, but Bi Sheng's relationship with an older woman made her jealous.Dora bravely had a showdown with Bi Sheng and safeguarded her feelings.However, she leaves her brothers alone at home while she monitors Bi Sheng.

In the end, Bi Sheng's concern for Dora caused her to misunderstand, and she mistakenly thought that Bi Sheng was also interested in her.However, when Dora discovers Bi Sheng riding a motorcycle with an older woman, she reveals the relationship to her mother Mercy.

When Shanying caught Bi Sheng having an affair with an older woman, she angrily went to Bi Sheng's salon to make a scene, and then took Bi Sheng home.This incident made Bi Sheng's family understand his love life.

However, Suo Qinzi accidentally revealed a secret and told Bi Sheng that he was an adopted son.This news was a heavy blow to Bi Sheng, causing him to run away from home.Fortunately, Dora and Shanying finally found him.

The next day, Bi Sheng tried to make sense of this complicated situation.To this end, he contacted Soo-yeon and asked her for information about his biological parents.Pil-seung tells Soo-yeon that his parents hid the identity of his biological parents from him.Given Soo-yeon's close relationship with Sun-young, he hopes she can reveal some clues.However, Soo-yeon tells him that she knows nothing.

Then, Pil Seung told Soo Yeon that he thought his parents were terrible people and that they abandoned him.Xiuyan was deeply touched by these words. She felt deeply guilty because she was Bi Sheng's biological mother, and fainted after Bi Sheng left.

On the other hand, Dora tries to avoid Bi Sheng.However, Bi Sheng soon senses her intentions and confronts her.Dora admitted that she felt ashamed after snitching on Bi Sheng's mother because she had caused Bi Sheng a lot of trouble.However, Bi Sheng assured her that he was grateful for her behavior because it made him respect his parents more.Furthermore, he revealed to her that the truth gave him a stronger sense of responsibility.

Meanwhile, Mercy Corps ran out of candy.When she went to the grocery store to make a purchase, she discovered her card had been deactivated.So she went to Shanying's house to seek help, but failed to find Shanying.Unable to endure her hunger, she began stealing sugar, meat, and fruit from Shanying's home.However, this behavior was discovered by Suo Qinzi on the spot and confronted with her.Although Sun-young's father sided with Mi-jae, Dora and Pil-seung overheard their conversation.Bi Sheng tried to comfort Dora and tried to cheer her up.However, Dora is still embarrassed about her mother.

That night, Mercy prepared to abandon her children and run away from home.Fortunately, her grandfather showed up in time and took her out for a drink, which eased her mood.

Dora's feelings for Bi Sheng gradually deepened. Bi Sheng not only protected her in everything, but also took her to ride bicycles and travel around.This leads Dora to finally confess her feelings to him.However, Bi Sheng rejected her love because she was too young and treated her like a sister.

Mercy Corps, on the other hand, works hard to develop a closer relationship with Grandpa.She knitted a scarf for her grandfather as a thank you gift and went out to watch a movie together.However, Mercy Corps' debt problems cast a shadow on this relationship.The creditor came to collect debts, but with Grandpa's intervention, it was temporarily over.

In order to express her gratitude to Grandpa Bi Sheng, Mercy chose a strategic action - hugging.This move was clearly intended to encourage him to continue providing financial support.However, this scene happened to be witnessed by Suo Qinzi who was riding the bus, and he mistakenly believed that Grandpa Bi Sheng was having an affair with a young woman.After returning home, Suo Qinzi told Mingdong and Shanying about the incident, but Shanying felt that this might not be the case.

On the other hand, Shanying unexpectedly heard rumors about Bi Sheng's life experience, which shocked her.During the conversation between her friends Hong Aijiao and Xiuyan, she learned that Bi Sheng might not be her biological son.In order to protect her friends, Xiuyan decided to intervene in the matter.At the same time, Xiuyan could no longer bear Hong Aijiao's existence. She made a request to her husband Zhentai, hoping that he could find a new place for Hong Aijiao.Although Hong Aijiao tried hard to reconcile with Xiuyan, Xiuyan didn't seem to buy it.

The relationship between Mercy and Grandpa Bi Sheng gradually warmed up.During one date, while they were walking down the street, Mercy accidentally caught a glimpse of a jewelry store.Grandpa noticed her thoughts and took her into the store to buy her favorite jewelry.Suo Qinzi encountered this scene again, and he finally recognized Mei Ci.At the same time, Shanying also discovered the large amount of money her grandfather gave to Mercy, which made her feel confused and uneasy.

That night, Shanying questioned his father about his relationship with Mercy, and his father frankly admitted that he had feelings for Mercy.Although Sun-young tries to accept the fact, Mercy is adamantly opposed to being with her father.However, this conversation was overheard by my grandfather, who suffered a heart attack and died.

In order to save her image, Mercy decided to leave the apartment with the children.Dora found a job in the entertainment industry, and she excitedly told Bi Sheng the good news.However, Bi Sheng's mother ordered Dora not to see Bi Sheng.

Time flies, 15 years later, Dora has become a high-profile actor, and Bi Sheng has become an assistant director.Bi Sheng saw a Dora poster in the subway station, and maybe the two will meet again in the future.

Dora, who has successfully completed her acting duties, is eager to take some time off and plans a trip to the United States.However, her mother Mercy has different plans and hopes that Dora will be involved in the filming of a new drama, Straight Romance.

Dora then met with the project's director and producers and firmly stated that she would not accept the role.However, Bi Sheng coincidentally worked as an assistant director on the crew. Before boarding the plane, Bi Sheng begged her to participate in the filming. This project may make him unemployed.What surprised Dora even more was that she found that Mercy Corps had signed a contract for her without authorization, and the producer promised to give her a generous reward.Under pressure from many parties, Dora finally decided to participate in the filming of this TV series.

At the same time, Suo Qinzi, who was in the department store, stumbled upon Mercy.When she learned that Mercy was Dora's mother, she attacked her angrily, questioning the past.Mercy denied Suo Qinzi's accusations and quickly fled the scene.

Additionally, the plot shifts to Hong Aijiao, who discovers Mary with a group of young friends.She tries to interfere in Mary's life, but Mary responds by mocking her, calling her Grandpa's mistress.This sparked a heated argument and Hong Aijiao beat Mary.When Mary got home, she explained what had happened in detail to her parents.

On the other hand, Dora was provoked by her professional rival ViVi while having her hair done in a salon.ViVi angrily throws a drink at Dora because she stole her role in the TV series.The incident heightened tensions between the two, and Dora became resentful and determined to exact revenge.

At the opening party of the TV show - Straightforward Romance, Dora realizes that ViVi has a crush on the show's leading actor.In order to retaliate against ViVi, Dora began to flirt with him, which made Bi Sheng feel very uncomfortable.

Soon after, Dora was harassed by a man.Bi Sheng witnessed all this and reached out to help in time.Dora expressed appreciation for Bi Sheng's brave behavior and extended a hand of friendship to him. Dora looked at Bi Sheng and felt familiar. She asked Bi Sheng if they had known each other before?

Dora asked Bi Sheng if she knew her, and Bi Sheng politely responded that he had seen her on TV.However, Dora felt inexplicably familiar with Bi Sheng, as if the two had had some kind of intersection.Later, Dora returns to the party and meets Bong-soo.Considering that ViVi is dating him, Dora decides to flirt with him, intending to teach her a lesson about the past.She subtly hinted at her affection for Bong-soo, and at the same time made it clear that she doesn't like people who are not emotionally dedicated.Mercy is deeply in debt due to her gambling addiction, and she also feels guilty about Bi Sheng's grandfather.

When Bi Sheng went home to have dinner with his family, Mei Ci revealed Shan Ying's intention to him, hoping to arrange a blind date for Bi Sheng with a famous queen.However, Bi Sheng firmly rejected this arrangement and expressed his hope to find the right person on his own.The next day, Hong Hong Aijiao once again urged Zhendan to marry a rich girl to improve the family's status.

Zhendan assures her that he has found an ideal candidate, which gives Hong Hong Aijiao some relief.

At the filming scene, Bongsu invited Dora out, but was misunderstood by ViVi.Dora clarified that she had no relationship with Bongsu, which caused ViVi to break up with Bongsu.In anger, Bongsu tried to attack Dora, but fortunately Bi Sheng stopped him in time.The incident caused delays in filming.That night, Mingdong went out for a walk at the urging of Suo Qinzi.

Meanwhile, Do-sik's girlfriend rejects his proposal.Daozhi came to the park in a depressed mood and met Mingdong by chance.The two had a drunken relationship.Early the next morning, Mingdong showed the ring to Suo Qinzi and revealed his relationship with Daozhi.However, Daozhi regretted spending the night with Mingdong and asked to meet.During the meeting, he retrieved the ring and apologized to Mingdong.At the same time, Zhendan gave expensive gifts to win the favor of Dora and her mother.

However, something unexpected happened during lunch and his plan was foiled.At the filming site, when Dora was preparing to shoot a kiss scene with Bong-soo, she noticed that there was a smell of garlic in his mouth.She slapped him angrily and the two got into an argument again.Bi Sheng came forward to comfort Dora and make her realize her mistake.After Do-ra apologized to Bong-soo, filming continued.In the process of getting along with Bi Sheng, Dora gradually recalled every detail of Dazhong.She began to wonder if the two were the same person, and this discovery made her think deeply.

Dora became suspicious of Bi Sheng's identity and pursued him.During the chase, Dora almost fell down, but fortunately Bi Sheng came to help in time.Later, Dora asked Bi Sheng if he was Dazhong, and her intuition surprised Bi Sheng.However, in the face of Dora's questioning, Bi Sheng chose to conceal the truth.On the other hand, Suo Qinzi visited Mercy and asked her about the money she borrowed from Grandpa Bi Sheng.

Although Mercy Corps initially steadfastly refused to repay, she was eventually forced to compromise under pressure from Suo Qinzi who threatened to expose her scandal.Mercy Corps promised to repay the debt, but asked Suo Qinzi for a certain amount of grace time to raise funds.At the same time, Jin Tae's aunt is about to visit, and Soo Yeon goes to the airport to greet her.Hong Hong Aijiao also expressed her wish to join the group.

At the airport, Jin Tai meets them and picks up Da Shu.However, Hong Hong Aijiao became dissatisfied because she felt neglected.On the set, Bi Sheng not only assisted Dora, but also provided support for Bong Soo.These actions of his are designed to meet the needs of the plot and at the same time ensure the progress of the filming.

Dora was grateful for Bi Sheng's selfless dedication, and she silently gave him points in her heart.During the filming, Dora threw water on Bongsu because of the need for the plot, which led to a dispute.Bi Sheng quickly intervened and defused the tension.Under Suo Qinzi's continuous persecution, Mercy fell into anxiety.

After receiving Dora's reward for her work, she quickly met Suo Qinzi and returned the loan.However, Suo Qinzi demanded high interest payments.After negotiations, Mercy Corps was able to reduce the interest amount.After Suo Qinzi returned home, she gave the money to her son Xianzhe to support him in pursuing his entrepreneurial dream.Shanying knew nothing about this and still insisted on opposing Xianzhe's business plan.

At the same time, Mingdong continues to pester Daozhi, trying to clarify their relationship.However, Daozhi turns a blind eye to Mingdong's overtures.In a chance encounter, Daozhi begged Mingdong to let go.Back at Zhentai's home, Hong Hong Aijiao was dissatisfied because the servant gave priority to Xiuyan.Da Shu intervened and reminded the whole family to respect Hong Hong Aijiao's status.

Later, Hong Hong Aijiao personally expressed his gratitude to Dashu and thanked her for recognizing her family status.Dora learns that Bi Sheng is not completely on her side, but remains neutral between the two parties.Despite this, Dora still firmly believes in Bi Sheng's character.After the filming, she invited Bi Sheng to have dinner, but learned that he had already made arrangements.It turns out that Bi Sheng went to eat sushi with Feng Xiu, and the two mentioned Dora while chatting and laughing.Dora stood outside the door and looked at them with an unhappy expression.

Dora accidentally bumped into Bi Sheng and Feng Xiu's words and walked away sadly.Bi Sheng chased and tried to explain, but Dora didn't want to hear it and walked away.

Back home, Bi Sheng was in a low mood. Although his parents noticed something was wrong with him, they still chose to give him some alone space to calm down on his own.

On the other hand, Daozhi learned about her marriage during a reunion with his ex-girlfriend.He proposed to her but was rejected because of the age gap.The frustrated Daozhi actually tried to end his life in the park. Fortunately, Mingdong discovered it in time and prevented the tragedy from happening.The two fell into an emotional whirlpool again, but when Mingdong woke up the next morning, he felt inexplicably frustrated because Daozhi seemed to regard her as just a passerby.

On the set of the TV series, Dora deliberately kept a distance from Bi Sheng.At this time, in order to win Dora's favor, Zhendan specially arranged a dining car for the crew.After Dora's mother learned that Zhendan was interested in her daughter, she decided to go out in person and meet with Zhendan.

Driven by financial pressure, Dora's mother began to consider using Zhendan, hoping that he could become her daughter's future support.She bluntly asked Zhendan about his feelings for Dora, and when she received a positive answer, she began to plot how to bring the two together.

After the filming, Dora was still immersed in the pain of Bi Sheng's betrayal and went to the bar alone to drink away her sorrows.After Zaidong learned of Dora's whereabouts, he quickly informed Zhendan.Zhendan quickly rushed to the bar and tried to impress Dora with his sincerity.

At the same time, Bi Sheng, who was deeply guilty, mustered up the courage to come to Dora's residence, hoping to apologize to her.However, he unexpectedly saw the scene of Dora and Zhendan together. He had mixed feelings in his heart, and finally chose to leave silently.

The next day, director Hong Jinjiu called Bi Sheng to his side, revealed what happened between Dora and Zhendan, and reminded him that Zhendan was not a good match.Out of his desire to protect Dora, Bi Sheng resolutely decided to quit filming the TV series.

Dora was initially angry and confused about Bi Sheng's departure, and she made it clear to the director that she did not want to cooperate with Bi Sheng anymore.After weighing the pros and cons, director Hong Jin Goo finally decided to remove Pil Seung from the TV series.

In order to save his career and reputation, Bi Sheng decided to make a last ditch effort.He confessed his true identity to Dora - he was Da Zhong.

In order to save his career, Bi Sheng revealed his true identity to Dora - Dazhong.It turned out that his mother followed the fortune teller's advice and changed his name.

The news confused Dora, but she chose to trust Bi Sheng and told the senior director about his situation.Her understanding and support ultimately helped Bi Sheng survive the career crisis.

Later, Dora went to Bi Sheng's community to meet him in person.The two came to the restaurant they remembered together, and Dora asked Bi Sheng about his grandfather.Bi Sheng realizes that Dora is not aware of her mother's entanglement with his grandfather, but he chooses to remain silent, only hinting to Dora that her mother may be the source of the problem.Despite this, they were still immersed in childhood memories and had a warm time.

On the other hand, Xianzhe fell into despair after learning that he had been deceived by a friend and his investment failed.Against his wife's wishes, he invested the money his father-in-law gave Mercy Corps, but now he has lost everything.When he lost control of his emotions, he even tried to end his own life.Fortunately, Suo Qinzi appeared in time and stopped his impulsive behavior.

Meanwhile, tensions between Dae-sook and Soo-yeon continue to escalate.Dae-sook tries to convince Soo-yeon to let her husband have an heir with another woman, and even brings up the idea of ​​hiring a surrogate mother.This scene was overheard by Mary, who immediately told Zhentai.Jin Tai hurried home and firmly told Da Shu that he would not allow her to interfere in his private life.

Soon after, Dae-sook confided her dissatisfaction with Soo-yeon to her friends.However, her friend reveals the shocking news that Soo-yeon was pregnant with another man's child before she met Jin-tae.This news shocked Da Shu.

On the other hand, Mercy took a fancy to Zhendan's wealth and status, so she arranged a private date with a musical in the hope that Dora could establish a relationship with Zhendan.In the musical, Zhendan takes a keen interest in Dora.However, Dora did not like him, and she firmly told her mother that she did not want to associate with the playboy.

The next day, Dora, Bi Sheng and the rest of the cast and crew arrive on a remote island to film a TV series.After filming, they learned they might encounter flooding and hurriedly evacuated.However, Bi Sheng and Dora missed the last boat and were stranded on the island.During the long night, Bi Sheng took care of Dora meticulously, and the relationship between the two seemed to be quietly warming up.

On the other hand, the internal disputes within the Zhendan family intensified.Dashu, as a core member of the family, has always been obsessed with continuing the family bloodline and strongly urged Zhentai to give birth to a true heir.Soo-yeon's past, especially the secret of her pregnancy before meeting Jin-tae, made this dispute even worse.

Dora and Bi Sheng are trapped on the island.After dawn, Dora secretly observed Bi Sheng while he was sleeping.After Bi Sheng woke up, Dora pretended to swat mosquitoes.Later, Dora told Bi Sheng about her dreams and wishes.At this time, a ship sailed towards them, and Dora was disappointed because she wanted to stay with Bi Sheng for a while longer.

At the same time, Soo-yeon brings porridge to visit Da-sook who is hospitalized.However, Dae-sook insulted Soo-yeon and threw the porridge away.Zhentai walked into the ward at this time and witnessed his aunt's disrespectful behavior towards his wife.Soo-yeon then left, and Jin-tae chased after her.Soo-yeon tells Jin-tae that if Dae-sook continues to live in their house, she and Mari will move out.

Jin-tae then confronts Dae-sook and accuses her of her behavior.He told Dae-sook that she should move back to the United States and in return, he would visit her regularly.Dae-sook apologizes for her behavior at this time and promises to behave well.After Jin Tae left, Dae Sook called her friend and asked her to tell Jin Tae about Soo Yeon's past relationship and pregnancy experience.Her friend agreed to tell Zhentai everything after the vacation.

Zhendan, on the other hand, seems attracted to Dora and tries to win her heart.He gave her an expensive necklace.After seeing this expensive necklace, Mercy tried to bring Dora and Zhendan together.However, Dora told her that she was not interested in Zhendan and would follow her heart.In addition, she also asked her mother to return the necklace to Zhendan.

On the set, Dora was once again attracted to Bi Sheng.She saw that Bi Sheng was close to his colleagues and took the initiative to participate in rehearsals to get closer to Bi Sheng.In addition, she also invited Bi Sheng to have dinner, and Bi Sheng agreed.

Meanwhile, Dae-sook's attitude toward Soo-yeon has improved since she was discharged from the hospital.Because Dashu hopes that Zhentai can have a son, Hong Hong Aijiao begins to worry about her son's inheritance.She found Zhendan and asked about the girl he was dating.Zhendan said Dora's name, which upset his mother because Dora did not come from a wealthy business family.

Soon after, Hong Hong Aijiao invited Dora to drink coffee and questioned her relationship with Zhendan.Dora tells her that she has no romantic interest in Zhendan.This confused Hong Hong Aijiao.Later, Zhendan was confused when he learned that his mother told Dora about his feelings.When he sees Dora again, Dora tells him that she has no feelings for him and apologizes for her behavior.At this time, Dora learned that her mother had not returned Zhendan's gift and was very embarrassed.Meanwhile, Mercy loses the necklace Zhendan gave to Dora.

Soon after, Dora called her mother and asked her to return Zhendan's gift.Additionally, Zhendan confronts Mercy about Dora's claim that she has no feelings for him.Mercy puts the blame on Zhendan's mother, saying that if it hadn't been for her, Dora would have been more open to him.Zhendan later apologized to her and agreed to tell Dora that Mercy had returned the necklace.

Dora and Bi Sheng went to have snacks together.Soon after, they ordered several rounds of drinks and got very drunk.Dora asks Bi Sheng about his first love.He cries and recounts his first love experience, which annoys Dora.He was walking down the street with an “I AM AN IDIOT” tag hanging on the back of his shirt.

Jin Tae and Soo Yeon had an in-depth discussion about their daughter's marriage, but their views were completely different.Jin Tae thinks Bi Sheng is a trustworthy person, while Soo Yeon worries that this will be unfair to Bi Sheng, especially considering the hardships his mother has put in for him.

On the other hand, Bi Sheng got into trouble due to drunkenness and was discovered and taken home by Shanying and Suo Qinzi.This leads to a tense confrontation between him and Dora.Although Dora refuses to take responsibility, Bi Sheng is confused and disappointed by her actions.

The next day, Bi Sheng confronted Dora again at the restaurant, and this time he had solid evidence.Dora finally confessed her feelings, but Bi Sheng firmly rejected her.Unable to accept this fact, Dora continued to pursue Bi Sheng and even proposed a date.However, Bi Sheng's attitude is very clear that he has no interest in Dora.In order to arouse Bi Sheng's jealousy, Dora actually agreed to date Zhendan.

At the same time, Sun-young's family received a gift basket from Soo-yeon, which caused Sun-young's confusion about Pil-seung's relationship status.When Jin Tae mentioned that Pil Seung had a girlfriend, Sun Young became even more curious, but Soo Yeon changed the topic, making Sun Young even more confused.

In addition, Dae-sook has been in contact with Mrs. Zhao, hoping that she can reveal Soo-yeon's past.However, just when Mrs. Zhao was about to meet Zhentai, she unfortunately died in an accident, which dealt a huge blow to Dashu.To make matters worse, Mary was almost kidnapped, but fortunately Dojun rescued her in time.This series of events made Dashu worried about Zhentai's future.

Dora's date with Zhendan was also full of drama.During the meal, Zhendan tried to arrange the next date, but Dora tried to avoid it.However, just as she was about to leave, Zhendan knelt down and begged her to agree to a date.Dora was confused and frightened by his behavior and eventually fled the scene.Fortunately, Bi Sheng showed up in time and took her away.

The climax of the episode occurs after a group of kids harass Dora, and she and Bi Sheng flee to hide in a dark alley.In the end, the two kissed in a tense atmosphere.
