See You Again Episode 27 Recap
> See You Again Recap
Jin Chuan and Chen Mumu met at the bar where they first encountered each other to watch a football match. After the game concluded, Jin Chuan initiated a breakup. A heartbroken Chen Mumu, holding back tears, apologized to him, but Jin Chuan reassured her that she had nothing to apologize for. He then raised his glass, wishing her to be a happy drinker every time she raised a glass and suggesting they could meet for beer again when he returned.
Chen Mumu proposed they shake hands, to which Jin Chuan commented on her affinity for such gestures. Chen Mumu, though saddened, accepted, noting it was their last time anyway. Upon returning to Jianghe, Chen Mumu met with Zhang Jianzhou to tender her resignation. Zhang Jianzhou expressed surprise, noting he hadn't expected her to visit his office. Chen Mumu revealed she had drafted resignation letters multiple times over the years, holding back due to ongoing projects or scripts.
She cited instances like the budget cuts in Suzhou, but also admitted feeling some relief after an incident where she poured wine on him, which made her tolerate the situation longer. She declared that, in her heart, she had already "fired" him countless times. While she didn't regret her time at Jianghe, believing every step in life counts, she stated that she could no longer tolerate the situation and finally handed him the letter she had written the previous night.
She intends to open her own film and television company. While checking on Tao Tao, a nurse discovered Ma Zehao hiding in the room, intending to take Tao Tao away. Ma Zehao, whose actions were widely publicized, panicked upon learning that the police were searching for him, and desperately pleaded with the nurse not to reveal his presence. The nurse agreed to keep watch outside the door while someone else came to check on Tao Tao.
Meanwhile, the filming of "The Legend of Xiang Qinyu" was nearing its end. On set, Xiang Qinyu conversed with Mr. Di, reflecting on Mr. Di’s transformation from a bullied boy in the martial arts troupe to a respected figure. Xiang Qinyu entrusted Mr. Di with a task. While on set, Li Longda, reminiscing about his past with Chi Yu, looked at some props.
He recalled their early days as extras, and a time when Chi Yu spent two days' salary to buy him a large plate of braised prawns. He shared with Jin Ayin his strong belief that Chi Yu is still alive, motivated by a desire to apologize, and vowed to continue searching for him indefinitely.
Jin Ayin later asked Xiang Qinyu about his belief in Chi Yu's survival, to which Xiang Qinyu also expressed his conviction, imagining Chi Yu's amusing reaction upon discovering someone else had taken his role. Jin Ayin admitted to feeling a sense of emptiness as the filming concluded, despite previously complaining about script revisions. Xiang Qinyu reminded her of his promise to make her famous.
However, Jin Ayin confessed that she no longer desired fame, wishing only for Xiang Qinyu to remember her. Later, Xiang Qinyu received a message from Director Feng about a last-minute revision to the final scene. Director Feng explained that he and Mr. Hu had collectively revised the ending, which he believed was more meaningful, depicting Xiang Qinyu seeing a man in black point a gun at him.
Xiang Qinyu realized this new ending was strikingly similar to a scene from his past in "Huangpu Fengyun". Jin Ayin was deeply troubled by the revised script, fearing it was a premonition that Ma Zehao would come the next day and everything would tragically repeat, leading to Xiang Qinyu’s disappearance as in the past.
She tried to prevent him from filming, physically barring him from leaving the room, pleading with him not to go and expressing that she didn't want their story to end. Xiang Qinyu, from outside the locked door, explained that some things must be faced. He recalled Chi Yu’s father’s words about the world being an echo chamber, where sounds return, implying Ma Zehao’s return was inevitable.
He expressed his regret about possibly getting hurt, his wish to stay, but emphasized his mission to catch Ma Zehao and protect Jin Ayin and Chi Yu’s innocent parents. He told Jin Ayin that while imagined partings were painful, reality was far worse, yet he had no regrets about every moment they had shared. He urged her to sleep well, promising to find something to make her happy the next day.
The next morning, Jin Ayin discovered Xiang Qinyu had already left. She noticed her black dress was missing, initially thinking someone else bought it, which added to her despair. However, she found breakfast and a note from Xiang Qinyu, who confessed he had bought the black dress for her, believing she would look beautiful in it. In the note, he apologized for not being able to express his feelings directly, explaining that looking into her eyes would make him weak.
He stated he had a crucial mission to fulfill and debts to repay, regardless of what awaited him that day, and expressed his profound gladness at having met her. He also assured her that he had arranged for a new stove, watered her plants, and had Ms. Wu replace the hallway light, taking her orange lantern with him.
Reading this, Jin Ayin was deeply moved and, now realizing the gravity of the situation, frantically urged her taxi driver to rush to the film set. At the film set, Xiang Qinyu was constantly on alert, looking for Ma Zehao. Familiar scenes and a general air of unease suggested that Ma Zehao had infiltrated the crew.
Teng Xi, noticing Xiang Qinyu’s distraction, alerted him to a masked individual in a hat, not from the crew, who had pushed a flower cart near the director’s monitor. Xiang Qinyu immediately suspected this person and rushed to investigate, learning that no flowers had been officially ordered. He then spotted someone he believed to be Ma Zehao and pursued him into Warehouse A02.
However, he mistook a lighting team member for Ma Zehao, who was simply carrying equipment for the shoot. Disappointed, Xiang Qinyu continued his desperate search, calling out for Ma Zehao. Li Longda soon arrived, concerned after Teng Xi mentioned Xiang Qinyu wasn't feeling well.
Xiang Qinyu quickly informed Li Longda of Ma Zehao's presence but, with no time to explain further, urged Li Longda to take care of Jin Ayin if anything happened to him, leaving Li Longda baffled by his words. Hearing about the incident at Warehouse A02, Jin Ayin frantically rushed to the prop storage, convinced that Ma Zehao had replaced a prop gun with a real one, a fear she expressed to the bewildered prop crew, including Lai.
Li Longda intervened, trying to calm the situation and confirming to Xiang Qinyu that a real gun might be intended for him, mirroring his past. Jin Ayin suggested stopping the actor, but Xiang Qinyu deemed it useless, believing someone else would simply take his place. Li Longda then tried to alert the crew to look out for strangers, though the crew felt it was impossible to distinguish them. Jin Ayin was distressed, unable to find the real gun.
Xiang Qinyu comforted her, assuring her it was okay, and attempted to lighten the mood by suggesting he might not die and that everything would be over after the day's filming. Jin Ayin, however, pleaded for him to stay, stating she disliked tragedies and didn't want their story to end tragically.
Xiang Qinyu then asked her to "write him the best ending," describing a peaceful, romantic farewell in a cafe on a rainy day, where they would say goodbye after a satisfying day, effectively creating a final, beautiful memory for her amidst the props. He then bid her to "let's go," preparing to face the scene.
Before the final scene, Jin Ayin, now wearing the black dress Xiang Qinyu had given her, emotionally confessed her undying love for him, urging him not to forget her. He promised he wouldn't. She encouraged him to fulfill his mission, expressing her contentment with the moments they shared—eating, holding hands, hugging, and kissing—but also her reluctance to let go. Despite her love, she declared she would be brave and remain with him, waiting for him, as his dedicated fan.
The last scene, depicting Xiang Qinyu in a confrontational stance, commenced. A voiceover described the character's arrogance and determination, contemplating his future and his family, emphasizing his unwavering commitment. After delivering a powerful line, "I don't compete with others for anything, but if something belongs to me, I'll never give in," Xiang Qinyu was shot in the chest. Everyone, including Director Feng, initially thought the scene was complete and applauded his performance.
However, to everyone's astonishment, Xiang Qinyu miraculously stood up, questioning if the shooting was truly over and ready to continue. Jin Ayin was immensely relieved to see him unharmed. Just then, Director Feng asked Team B about an "empty explosion shot" they needed to shoot, confirming it was part of the day's schedule. Jin Ayin, realizing the imminent danger, grabbed a microphone and desperately screamed for the explosion to be stopped, running towards Xiang Qinyu. An intercom voice reported a "glitched exploder," momentarily giving Jin Ayin a sense of false security as she slowed, watching Xiang Qinyu approach her. Unexpectedly, a massive explosion erupted.
