Spoiler Alert

"Wanna Be" Episode 12: Smooch Scandals, Skateboard Struggles & Suspicious Side-Eyes

Let’s just say this episode had more awkward energy than accidentally texting your crush "I love you" during a group chat. Buckle up, drama llamas.

That Kiss Debacle (But Make It Awkward)

Han Yijing tracks down Jia Fan for the talk about the kiss from hell. She blames it on tequila demons, insists it wasn’t sexual harassment, and offers to coach him for Rachel’s photoshoot as an apology. Jia Fan dryly promises not to sue but refuses to pretend it never happened. Cue the tension thicker than a Marvel post-credits scene. Plot twist? Their entire convo gets secretly photographed. Sips tea.

Sunblock Ads & Skateboard Fails

The skincare brand wants a skateboarding-themed ad (because nothing says "wear sunscreen" like mid-air tricks). Jia Fan claims he’s ready thanks to Han Yijing’s crash course… until faceplants during training prove otherwise. Enter Xing Mo, the industry OG, dropping wisdom: "Stop trying to be Tony Hawk. Just look cool for the camera." His advice? "The product’s the star—you’re just its hype man." Jia Fan apologizes for past beef, but Xing Mo’s all, "Prove I didn’t waste my time mentoring you." Cue training montage with zero Rocky music.

Schedule Shadiness & Electric Scooter Rescues

The Rachel shoot gets mysteriously moved from 11 AM to 9 AM, leaving Jia Fan scrambling. Turns out, notifications went to Xing Mo (who’d left his phone behind) and Li Haoran (who probably side-eyed the chaos). CEO Ling glares daggers at Xing Mo at the shoot—no explanation, just pure drama. Traffic hell forces Ling to beg the director for time, while Dong Xiaoru saves the day with a scooter. Jia Fan arrives late, injured, and sweating panic, but insists on powering through. Spoiler: It goes… not great.

Injury Denial & Betrayal Feels

Jia Fan hides a bloody arm injury, bombs multiple takes, and finally gets called out by the furious director. Han Yijing accuses Xing Mo of sabotage, leading to the episode’s saddest moment: Xing Mo realizing his longtime colleague doesn’t trust him. Meanwhile, You Ning—our resident eavesdropper—spies Jia Fan’s pain and warns Xing Mo to prep as a backup. Will our hero crash-and-burn or pull off a miracle? Tune in next time!

Final Thoughts

This episode served:

  1. More secondhand embarrassment than a middle school dance
  2. Xing Mo’s "I’m too old for this" face
  3. Electric scooters: the true MVP
  4. A cliffhanger that’ll make you throw popcorn at the screen

Stay salty, fandom. The ad shoot meltdown’s just getting started.
