Shooting Stars Episode 11 Key Moments
Tae-Sung’s New Lover?
After his confession with Han-Byeol, Tae-Sung became happy again after a long time. However, this didn’t last long because a new rumor spreads again.
Since Tae-Sung is StarForce Entertainment’s top artist, fans and netizens are curious about the woman he’s dating. There’s a photo spreading online wherein Tae-Sung is being hugged by a woman. Many are speculating that she is Tae-Sung’s girlfriend.
However, in reality, the woman in the photo is Tae-Sung’s mother. Eun Si-Woo is on bad terms with Tae-Sung because of what happened in the past. Si-Woo doesn’t want the public to know that she has a son, that’s why Tae-Sung’s heart became distant from her.
Han-Byeol, Yoo-Sung, and Ji-Hoon are all doing their best to resolve the issue. They even give Tae-Sung his favorite snacks so that his heart will enlighten a bit.
A Calm in the Storm
Amidst all the happenings, Tae-Sung still got a plan to have a date with Han-Byeol. Being a known artist, Han-Byeol knows that it’s hard to keep their relationship hidden.
However, she appreciates Tae-Sung’s effort in planning their date. They even talk about their past selves and how they quarrel a lot. Deep inside Han-Byeol, she knows that being Tae-Sung’s girlfriend will not be easy but risking it all to the one you love will always be worth it.
Evolving Issues
The media start pestering Tae-Sung about the photo. He can’t say a word because he can’t tell the public that the woman is her mother. Bearing too much stress, Tae-Sung collapsed on the floor and got hospitalized.
The rumor also affects his image as an actor. The director of his current drama cancels their shoot because of the rumors surrounding their lead actor. They are also thinking of replacing him because his image will affect the drama.
On the other hand, Ki-beum also quarrels with her boss because he wants to publish an article without fact-checking first. A new rumor emerged saying that Tae-Sung went to Africa to visit his “child.” Tae-Sung saw this rumor and put him in great frustration.
Ending the episode, Si-woo held a press conference to clear the rumors about her son Tae-Sung. Will this move finally bring peace between the two?
Shooting Stars Episode 11 & 12 Musings
With two weeks worth of Shooting Stars, Tae-Sung was bombarded with demeaning and unreal rumors. More than the romance, these episodes retell the reality of what’s happening inside an entertainment when rumors go viral online.
As ordinary people, actors are also people who get hurt by bad words that are thrown at them. It also doesn’t matter if they are male or female because we all have different handling capacities. That’s why, we should always fact-check what we see online because nowadays, fake news is prominent.
On the other hand, it looks like Si-Woo cares for his son. Her occupation as an actress somehow became a hindrance in achieving a motherly relationship with Tae-Sung. Let’s hope for the best that the two will reconcile and solve their issues.
Meanwhile, Han-Byeol is also staying strong and doing her best as the head of the PR team to help Tae-Sung clear his name. More than being Tae-Sung’s girlfriend, she’s worried about how he would handle all these stressors. Nevertheless, her mere presence calms Tae-Sung down and that’s already a big help for him.
