Ever
wonder why Meteor Garden Part Two's ending part seemed to be
slashed? Ever feel that there has to be a more picturesque
ending scenes of this full of loopholes love story of Shan Cai
and Dao Ming Si? Then here's the 32nd Episode-The Epilogue
that would answer all your questions and relieve your disappointments.
------------------------------------------------------
With
the song "Yo Te Amo" in the background, the night shot
of Barcelona was shown, until it focuses on Dao Ming Shi (DMS) ans
Shan Cai (SC) eating dinner in a romantic cafè. They walked
hand-in-hand along the city streets and then sat down on a bench.
SC showed DMS the video pictures she took earlier. It showed the
scene when DMS writing "Shan & Si" on a bench. While
watching the playback, they both laughed happily. SC said in her
heart: "The bench is a very important place in our life.
There DMS and I have discussed and settled the past. There we
determine our future to be together forever."
In
the playback, SC voice was heard scolding DMS: "Pighead DMS,
why do you crave it so badly." Meanwhile, the scene of the
video now showing both of them in the church making vows to each
other on the aisle.
SC
kept saying in her heart: "DMS heard I said I love you to him
after we failed to see the meteor rain that night. He walked away
knowing that his love to me is not in vain. He feels he still has
to fulfill his promises to Yesha (YS), accompanying her to go
around the world, while leaving me to start a relationship with
Lei."
The
flashback scene from earlier episode when YS and DMS going out
together, "DMS told YS that he can only be a friend to her,
although he will cherish this friendship forever, so they went
around the world much like brother and sister for 3 months until
YS decided to go back to Bhutan. YS underwent a successful
operation, then she told DMS to find me. YS reminded DMS about the
agreement she made with his mother (Dao Ming Feng=DMF), that after
3 months of engagement, YS may break up with DMS and DMF has to
let DMS be with SC. DMS said that it does not matter anymore
because SC is now with Lei, but DMS will go back to Taiwan to pick
up YS last painting as a valuable memory." Flashback scene of
DMS watching YS painting, cutting it and rolling it.
"After
coming back to Taiwan, DMS met Shage and got the male meteor ring,
then met F3 and realized that Lei and I never started any
relationship. Lei hit DMS and told him to chase his fate. DMS
rushed to the airport only to find just before the plane depart
that I actually went to Barcelona, so he quickly chased the plane
to Barcelona and found me at the bull chasing event" (Two
hands with meteor ring clasped. Both meteor rings finally meet
again).
Scene
of SC and Lei walking in the village, side by side, not holding
hands. "I told DMS that as soon as Lei and I came back to
Taiwan again, I said to Lei 'I am sorry', I cannot thank him
enough for all what he has done for me, but I can only think of
him as a very good friend that will forever have a place in my
heart. I feel it is unfair for him to give his love to someone who
already keeps another person deeply in her heart. Sometimes Lei
and I went out together, but no relationship ever starts."
The
scene of SC and DMS walking together on the street and stopping in
front of SC's hotel in Barcelona. SC said "Good night"
and DMS replied the same while watching SC's back as she walked
towards her hotel's main door. SC stopped and turned around facing
DMS saying: "Would you like to share a room with me?"
DMS smiled broadly and said: "I have to pickup my things
first." SC said "I'll go with you". So they walked
down the street again. DMS broke the silence "What do you
plan to do next?" SC thought for a while and said: "I
want to graduate first. It will make my parents proud. And then we
can be marr...err I can help you with work" DMS said harshly
"I think I can earn money for both of us. You don't have to
work" SC sharply looked at DMS "Stupid, in the future we
will need many more than that" DMS is about to be angry when
he suddenly smiled "How many more persons do you have in
mind?" SC blushed heavily and face d down "I
mean,...family life costs a lot and I don't want you to work too
hard" DMS smiled broadly "Don't worry , I will find a
way, but ... you haven't answer my question yet" SC walked
faster while DMS smilingly chased her.
DMS
and SC lie down in bed side by side sharing a big blanket. They
both stare at the ceiling, smiling happily while their hands shown
holding together on top of the blanket (similar to the scene where
SC and Lei shared a blanket in MG1) The camera moves to show the
ceiling they are staring at. On the ceiling there are 5 red
balloons. (Fade Out).
Early
in the morning they have breakfast in their room while SC told DMS
that today she has to lead her tour again and they are going to
visit wineries outside Barcelona. Suddenly the phone rang and SC
talked for a while in the phone. After that she looks san and said
to DMS "Our Spanish translator is suddenly sick, and the tour
company is still trying to find a replacement". DMS said
"I speak Spanish.. and I know something about wineries in
Barcelona" SC looked at him with eyes opened widely.
In
the winery DMS translated smoothly what the wine expert said and
outside in the vineyard he even explained by himself about grapes
and vineyard to some tour members. SC was amused while watching
him with smile. "I cannot imagine DMS guiding a tour, but he
has changed so much since I knew him in the university for the
first time. He treated his previous world and mine as one world
with no bridge in between, I must be able to do so too"
(Advertisement)
DMS
and SC were back in SC's home in Taipei. SC's parents were very
happy to see DMS and SC mom started to beg him to stay. DMS said
that he has to leave to do something, but will come tomorrow
morning. As they said to each other: "See you tomorrow",
Sc wondered what he was going to do.
DMS
visited his 3 friends from the Breakfast Van. They shared the meal
and drank together (long scene).
The
next scene was DMS with F3 and Shage. DMS gave Lei a hug and
jokingly hit Ximen and MeiZhuo. Five of them made jokes and shared
a toast with happy faces. Then as they were finally sitting down
on the sofa, Ximen said: "You said you have a business
proposal for us.
Let's
hear it," whereas Lei, MeiZhuo and Shage seriously look at
DMS. The scene changed to DMS alone in a quite place, thinking and
then made a call in English "I am Dao Ming Shi. I want to
speak to my father"
SC
was in her bed thinking: "DMS and I shared a bed just for the
past few days, but now I miss him already. I prayed that God will
help him finding a way to work and help me with our plan." SC
touched the meteor ring in her finger, when she suddenly
remembered something, woke up out of the bed walking to her
suitcase she brought from Barcelona. From the suitcase she took
out a piece of paper, a cut-off of a newspaper. "DMS gave it
to me to be kept in a very safe place," SC thought "What
is this exactly?". As she started to read, she showed a very
surprise look and tears started to appear. The headline said,
"A
big meteor shower seen above Taiwan"
It
was dated almost 4 months ago. "An exceptionally large meteor
shower was seen just after dawn yesterday. Apparently it came from
a remnant of comet that remained unexpectedly in line with the
earth's orbit...." With teary eyes, SC looked outside her
windows to the meteor rain light that DMS has put there. "Actuall
y God did give his sign to approve our relationship. I just didn't
have the patience to see the it.
We
went apart just before the shower started. Still He give us
another chance to meet and this time it is for real. DMS and I are
planning for our future together. Tomorrow will be a great
start." With that she closed her eyes in her bed.
DMS
still on the phone, but now his mother's voice was on the phone:
"A Shi, you are my son. I know you will come back to me. I
know you will take the responsibility of your family's glory.
Good!
I
will keep my part of the bargain, but I still cannot accept to
have in-laws from lowly class for Dao Ming family."
DMS
coldly said: "Mom, I know you always can get what you want.
You can make things happen. I am sure you will have a way to solve
this.
I
trust that you can do it." (Advertisement)
DMS
still on the phone, but now his mother's voice was on the phone:
"A Shi, you are my son. I know you will come back to me. I
know you will take the responsibility of your family's glory.
Good!
I
will keep my part of the bargain, but I still cannot accept to
have
in-laws from lowly class for Dao Ming family."
DMS
coldly said: "Mom, I know you always can get what you want.
You can make things happen. I am sure you will have a way to solve
this.
I
trust that you can do it."
The
next morning DMS knocked SC's home dressing in suit. As they both
in the car, SC narrated: "Last night DMS did not sleep at
all.
He
made his plan to develop the business of Breakfast Van. F3 have
agreed to invest their money for the new business. DMS and his
friends from Breakfast Van will launch more vans throughout
Taipei.
It
looks to be very promising business.
DMS
has made with both of his parents. He is going back to work at
DaoMing company. His parents will not hinder his relationship with
me. His father seems to be easier to convince than his mother. His
father said that he trusted Zhuang sister's (DMS elder sister)
judgement on me, so now it's up to his mother to get along.
As
soon as the winter break is over, I will start again in YingDe
University as full time student. I will quit all jobs and will try
to finish my study in one semester. I will help part-time with the
bookkeeping of Breakfast Van business."
A
car stopped on the street, SC kissed DMS lightly and stepped out
of the car saying: "See you tomorrow". DMS waited until
SC entered her gate before going away. SC entered the door saying
"I am home" and was surprised to see that the house is
full decorated with party gadgets, confetti and the table was full
of food and wine. Her mom and dad dancing around her happily. SC
asked: "Mom, Dad, what's happening to you two?" Mon
beamingly said: "SC, finally God shows mercy to your Dad.
Despite all useless things that he did, your Dad suddenly was
offered a new great job. A big national company is opening a small
branch just outside Taipei and your father was offered a position
as vice-president in that branch. Although the branch itself is
small, with only a few people as this time, but it pays well. They
even want us to move into the company's housing as soon as
possible and use company's car. SC, I think luck is smiling to our
family now! Come, come, let's eat, let's eat."
Dad
said happily, "Now I don't have to worry not to get enough to
eat." Mom scolded Dad, "No way, now you must even be
more careful with what and how much you eat. For all the years you
hardly get sick, because I carefully manage your food. Don't you
dare to eat out of control, now that you finally get a great
job."
SC
tried to stop Mom and Dad quarrelling: "Okay, okay, let's
eat," but her face still showed full of questions.
(Background
song started: Liu Xing Yu)--
SC
was in her room preparing to sleep when her cell phone rings. She
looked at her caller and smilingly happily as it showed DMS
calling. SC said: "Hello, what's up?", DMS in his home
said happily: "SC, next week my parents will come to Taiwan.
They want to meet your parents." SC put her hands into her
mouth and became speechless.
The
scene of DMS and SC past meetings: SC scolded DMS after DMS
refused to forgive LiZhen. SC tagged DMS head with red paper.
Their first kiss on the boat. Both of them passing the night on
the emergency stairway on their first date. Bruised SC cried as
DMS hugged her (saying: If you say it doesn't happen, I believe
you).
Their
second kiss in DMS room. Their meeting when SC was kicked out of
her apartment and DMS found her after placing many messages in her
phone. They kissed after DMS gave SC the meteor ring necklace.
They
hugged on the street after SC went out of the bus to go back to
DMS. They talked to each other with door separating them. They
went out in Barcelona and then DMS hugged SC from behind in the
balcony.
They
worked together in Dao Ming company sorting boxes of inventory.
They
had lunch together eating sandwich. They are crying together in
the field and then waiting for the meteor rain to appear. The
hands with meteor ring clasped together. They prayed together in
the church.
The
final scene is both of them sitting together in each other's arm
on a balcony at DMS house, watching meteor shower in the sky. SC
narrated "Meteor showers come and go for centuries. In the
past we were foolish enough to let them be the judge of our love.
We don't really need that anymore, for we now have strong proof
from God in both of us and in our family life.
“F4
still get together strongly. I once said that among those 4, one
is not the same as the other three. I guessed wrongly. HuaZelei,
Ximen and MeiZhuo are still my very good friends. Their families
are our families good friends. But the one that is not the same
among the four, the one very special to me is... DMS."
