Meteor Garden 2018 Episode 2 Recap
The feud between Shan Cai and Dao Mingsi is escalating. Or is it the love between them that is escalating? Or will it be Lei and Shan Cai’s love story in episode two? If this was a race to win Shan Cai’s heart, it certainly looks like Lei has already won.

The classic makeover. After knocking out Dao Mingsi with one kick that has made her infamous through the entire school, Shan Cai is puzzled when two men in suits extend her with an invitation to Dao Mingsi’s mansion. She wonders if it’s a trick since the men claim that Dao Mingsi is ready to apologize, but she gets in the car anyway.  Upon her arrival, an army of stylists flock to her and after much poking and scrubbing against her will, Shan Cai emerges all made up in a cute outfit.

I can let you you be my woman. Dao Mingsi takes the crown as the guy who is truly full of himself as he asks Shan Cai to be his girlfriend in the most unromantic way. He thinks that he is being magnanimous in allowing her to stand one meter behind him at all times and sit together with him during mealtimes. I do not know how other girls will react if someone courted them this way, but Shan Cai is definitely not the type to submit to this nonsense. She takes off the heels that the stylists made her wear earlier, throws it at Dao Mingsi and walks away.

Meteor Garden 2018 Episode 2 Recap
The friendship is tested over a girl. Shan Cai is once again in a situation where she is bullied by Dao Mingsi. After accidentally bumping into someone and spilling food all over herself at the school cafeteria, Dao Mingsi adds insult to injury by mocking Shan Cai. Lei helps Shan Cai up, intending to take her away but Dao Mingsi grabs the other hand and a tug of war begins. 

Dao Mingsi threatens Lei that their friendship would be over if he leaves with Shan Cai. Lei and Shan Cai walk out of the cafeteria.

Comments: The tension between the childhood friends is scary. With a calm and quiet Lei versus an explosive Dao Mingsi, I really wonder if they will stop being brothers. Dao Mingsi should also pick up some courting tips from Ximen and Meizuo. He is indeed terrible at it.
