"Wanna Be" Episode 11: Drama, Champagne, and That One Kiss
Let’s talk about that messy tension exploding in the training room. After losing a coveted endorsement spot, bitter veteran model Ding Chen confronts rookie Jia Fan—calling him a "talentless nepo baby" who only got ahead by cozying up to top model Han Yijing and corporate bigwig Ms. Ling. The audacity! But here’s the tea: Jia’s newbie peers immediately shut Ding down, defending Jia’s hard work. When Ding throws low blows about Jia’s visually impaired father being used for "sob-story publicity," Jia nearly throws hands. Enter icy-cool mentor Ms. Xing Mo, who cuts through the drama with a mic drop: "Take complaints to the brand or shut up."
Meanwhile, Xing Mo’s awkward hallway run-in with Ms. Ling leaves us with questions. Ling offers to reassign Xing Mo’s job duties, but he responds with a deadpan "Whatever." Later, Ling shows up at his bar…only to find him MIA, shooting hoops alone like a brooding K-drama lead. (Someone get this man a therapist and a latte.)
The REAL Party Starts
Han Yijing swings by the training room with champagne to celebrate Jia’s endorsement win. Her logic? Let the haters seethe—public drama just forced Xing Mo to publicly back Jia, so "mission accomplished." But when Han playfully sprays champagne everywhere, their flirty chase turns into…a kiss. Yep, sparks fly as they lock lips—only to get caught red-handed by eagle-eyed You Ning lurking outside.
Post-makeout, Han’s in denial mode ("I can’t possibly like Jia Fan!") while replaying the kiss like a GIF. Meanwhile, Jia’s dad hilariously nags him to "get a girlfriend already"—unaware his son’s heart eyes are already glued to Han.
Bonus Chaos:
The gang’s awkward seafood dinner with Jia’s family and Han’s team is peak cringe-comedy. But once the crab legs crack open? Suddenly, everyone’s besties. Classic.
Spoiler Alerts:
- That kiss? Not a drill. But Han’s ex-fiancé Liao Jinyuan’s ghost still haunts her.
- You Ning gives Han a stern warning to stay away from Liao if he ever returns.
- Xing Mo vs. Ms. Ling’s corporate chess game? Far from over.
This episode’s got workplace scheming, slow-burn romance, and enough secondhand embarrassment to power a K-pop fan meet. Stay tuned!
