The Star’s Hidden Vow

About this drama

The source for this entry is a synopsis of 736 characters in seven sentences, and one transcription fact comes first: the seven curly apostrophes are transcribed straight, while the title's curly apostrophe in Star's is kept as printed in the title and in the first question below. What the source states: Ellie, an ambitious brand planner, secretly dates Vivian, a famous Oscar-winning actress; Vivian is clingy, possessive, and hides a fatal illness from Ellie to avoid holding back her career; their love is full of sweet daily trivialities, constant misunderstandings, and painful conflicts caused by Vivian's overprotection and Ellie's stubborn independence, with jealous colleagues and Vivian's estranged elder sister adding more twists; when Ellie finally discovers Vivian's terminal diagnosis, she is overwhelmed with regret; all the warm days they shared turn out to be Ellie's painful imaginary replay after Vivian's death; the whole story is a sad, belated apology from Ellie, filled with what the source calls heart-wrenching BE twists and tangled love-hate emotions. The premise is one romance revealed after the fact as grief, and the source states the ending in full, the death given, the replay exposed, the apology named. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is seventy-two episodes, standing alone at that length, the second-longest of the batch behind the three runs at eighty. The registry column lists 7 against the API's seventy-two, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 681 views, fifteenth of twenty, in the lower half. The byline is qinjiu_scene_ca, the first of its eight entries in this batch, all of them completed, and the platform marks the series completed.
