Making our way to the end of Gloomy Salad Days, the preview completely baffled me for this episode. Everything is soon to be explained as the drama wraps up to an interesting close. Stay tuned! (Warning: Spoiler Alert!)

So Du is actually a girl in a coma. After Shen Qi attacked her and told her to disappear she went back to the hospital, alone and depressed. But what happened to her in the past? Soon this will finally be revealed.

As Du finally starts remembering, Shen Qi is at the school where he finds more scraps from her manga, and they both learn her story. It now flashes back to five years in the past. But already off to a confusing start, why is Shen Qi there? No, this is actually Gao Chao, a classmate of Du He’s.

Du He is just a normal girl who dreams of becoming a manga artist some day. When she was only a little girl her parents had passed away, she now lives with her brother who gave up everything just to watch out for her and take care of her.

A contest is coming up for the best manga artist out there. The winner will receive a trip to Japan, plus ten million dollars. Du He wants to win the money to help her brother out, while Gao Chao is just dying for a trip to Japan to study from the greatest manga artists.

Gao Chao is torn between two ideas he’s working on, and Du He decides to draw the death girl. Gao Chao jokingly warned her that if she continues to draw the death girl she will eventually become her. Hmm…foreshadowing.

Du He’s brother, Xiao Du, is out of luck on money when his business goes bankrupt. Him and his friends continue to protest, but no changes are going to happen. While at the club a friend of his slips him some drugs to deliver while out and about, and offers him a lot of money to do so, since it is such a risky job. His biggest mistake, accepting it.

While out on a delivery, Xiao Du makes his way to Gao Chao’s house to give his father a package. He was busy for the moment and asked him to open it for him, but it exploded! Xiao Du was rushed to the hospital where the nurse found drugs in his pocket and hid them to keep him safe. The nurse, Jia Jia, is very persuasive when it comes to winning over Xiao Du. It isn’t long before they begin to date, but Du He doesn’t like her, or rather the fact that her brother is now dating.

It’s time to submit the manga entries into the contest, but at the last minute Gao Chao switches his top choice with the one he wasn’t as proud with, but why?

Wrapping up to the ending of Gloomy Salad Days we still have a lot of questions to be answered. And what a crazy next episode it will be.

What did you guys think of Du He’s past?
