♬ You came over with a smile on your face ♬
♬ Your lips curving up can't hide the distance ♬
♬ Two peoples' hearts that used to be stuck together ♬
♬ Now all that's left is half of the familiar ♬
♬ At the crossroads, you hugged me and told me not to cry. ♬
♬ I can understand the hesitance in your eyes, so don't worry. ♬
♬ We send our good wishes to each other and carefully step into the new day. ♬
♬ Losing you, your gentle touch shatters our brief memories. ♬
♬ When I leave, I don't want to take any memories of you. ♬
♬ After I turn around, I hope the sadness won't continue. ♬
♬ Even if you've forgotten, that we once promised to be together, ♬
♬ I can't blame you because I love you. ♬
♬ I can't forget every moment under the parasol trees in the breeze. ♬
♬ Standing at the place where we started, half of me is already gone with you. ♬
Episode 1
I'm finally in China.
Luo Man, I'm coming.
She should be here.
She must be.
Hello? Delivery? I'm not in the dorm right now, I'll be there soon.
Ting Ting, have you thought about what I said?
Join! Don't you sing well at KTV?
Joining the band can help you discover you full potential.
Why start a band out of the blue? Nothing else to do?
I'm too busy everyday that I don't have time to shop.
How can I have time to join your band?
Ting Ting, you go shopping 5 times a week.
You just need to go for the practice once a week.
No matter how persuasive you are, I won't join in, Luo Man.
Ting Ting, just join us.
Hello, classmate!
Can you tell me where the office is?
Classmate?
Are you talking to me?
Yeah, I want to know where the Dean's Office is.
It's my first day at school. I'm not used to the surroundings.
That building. Turn right and you're there.
Thank you. I'm Zhang Hao.
I'll be taking classes at the Language Center.
Nice meeting you.
That's right, I forgot to ask for your name.
F-F-Fan Bing Bing.
F-F-Fan Bing Bing?That's a cute name!
Okay.
He was actually talking to me?
Isn't this too expensive?
That has always been our price.
I didn't set it.
I didn't bring that much money
Can you make it cheaper?
Never seen someone bargain when paying school fees.
This isn't the market.
Plus,
our school's dorm for international students
is cheaper than most universities.
Teacher, I'm here to pay my dorm fees.
Okay. 900.
Why is his only 900?
Because he's Chinese.
That is the price for the ordinary dorm.
Me too! I want to live in the ordinary dorm too!
Foreigners can't live in the ordinary dorm.
No, I'm a Chinese.
My parents are both Chinese.
I was unlucky to be born in America.
Not negotiable. You have an American passport.
Don't be like that. I can speak Chinese.
Look, my face says I'm all Chinese.
Since I'm Chinese, why do I have to live with foreigners?
I don't want that.
Even though I was born in America, but I don't feel like home there.
after getting off the plane today, I found the right answer.
Even though it's my first time in China,
everything is so familiar to me.
It feels like I belong here.
But who knows you guys still see me as a foreigner.
Everyday when I wake up, when I wanted to greet someone,
I will have to say good morning.
But I want to say "Zao shang hao!"
I feel so disappointed.
Jiejie (Older sister), can you understand my pain?
I know I can't blame you.
I just feel so down,
depressed, lonely, cold-
Give me 900.
900?
Okay
Thank you Jiejie!
Wait a minute.
Jiejie, did you know...
I find that the jiejies in China are very cute!
Thank you.
Miss, you don't have a lot of deliveries today.
Da ge (Older brother), do you think I have hands to sign?
Let me! Let me sign!
Thank you.
Let me Ting Ting!
Give me some boxes Luo Man.
No need! How can I let you do such heavy lifting?
You just got your nails done.
Beautiful.
French highlights, it's just starting to become popular.
Yeah, only a beauty like you can keep up with the trends.
Stop complimenting me. I won't join the band no matter what you say.
It's enough that I was fooled once by you for joining the popular music lesson.
No matter what happen, I won't join anymore music groups.
I'm already so busy that I don't have time to shop.
You're thinking too much. Don't go if you don't want to,
there are quite a number of people in the club already.
I'm joining, Li Xiu Qi is also joining.
Xiu Qi is joining too?
Yeah.
When he heard I was forming a band, he joined right away.
He plays the guitar very well.
During the weekends, he practices when there's nothing else to do. His foundations are first class.
Xiu Qi can play the guitar? He never told me.
He loves to keep a low profile.
But he begged me to find a female lead singer that would suit him well.
The performance will then be more interesting.
But who to find.
I think I should ask Li Na from the dorm next door?
Li Na sucks at singing.
If you're interested, I can join.
You?
Forget it.
You're always so busy that you can't even go shopping.
I'm helping a friend in need.
Are you sure?
I didn't force you.
I'll go for sure.
Then let's go.
Hello? Li Xiu Qi? Wen Ting Ting is settled!
She actually wants to join? No way.
Ask if anyone in your dorm will join.
Ma Jun Cai? He won't be interested.
This isn't something that can be done by persuasion. I can't force him with a knife either.
Li Xiu Qi! Are you my friend or not? You can't even help with this little thing?!
Okay. I'll give it a try, okay?
What are you doing, Jun Cai?
Who is that?
It's me.
You?
What joke is this?
I registered on a website,
and I need a profile picture.
I think this fits quite well.
I'll be surprised if you're not reported.
Aren't you interested in pop music?
Do you want to join a music band?
Music band? Our school has a band?
Yeah. Luo Man has one.
Brother Luo again?
I say, Xiu Qi, you're a good student council president, and
you barely have time to study and sleep.
You still do stuffs for her?
Yeah, try to understand me and help.
I want to help you.
But you know me...
I have my club
and fraternal liquor board. I don't have time for this useless practice.
It's good to join a band.
You can relieve you're stress from studying.
I don't have stress.
I divorced studying a long time ago.
Hello everyone!
You are my roommates then.
- You know him?- No.
Did the dorm manager say a new person was coming?
Never heard about it.
Student, sorry but I think you're in the wrong place.
No I didn't. I'm Zhang Hao.
From now on, we're roommates.
What's going on?
Let me ask.
Hey Bro, what's your major?
Chinese. My classes are at the Language Center.
Still learning Chinese when you're already good at it?
Language Exchange Center?
Isn't it the Institute of International Relations?
You're an international student.
That's right. I'm from New York.
America!
Shouldn't international students be staying at their own dorms?
Why is he living with us?
Yeah.
I don't have money,
so I begged the teacher to let me live here.
No money? You can study abroad if you have no money?
Don't you need guarantee fees or something like that?
Long story short, I don't have money,
but my family does.
Still rich.
Okay stop staring at him. It's impolite.
Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?
He looks so familiar.
Especially those eyes.
First time welcoming a friend from America
Small gift but strong bonds of friendship.
- I have a knife.- No need for that.
I just learned how to slice a melon with one hand.
Let me demonstrate it to you guys.
Let's just use a knife.
Here American.
Don't be modest.
- Here Xiu Qi.- It's okay.
So you spent all your savings
in order to find her?
This is American spirit.
I really don't know what is sustaining you,
making you come here from half way across the globe.
A third of the globe.
I think she's my destined one.
When I first met her, I knew
that I will never forget her.
Everytime I think of her, I heart will go
badump badump dabump...
So touching.
She should be very pretty.
Not just pretty, she's the type of girl that no man can reject.
She should be a student majoring in Philosophy.
Philosophy student?
I know a lot of people from there. What's her name?
Luo Man.
- What?!- What?!
Luo Man?!
You know her?
Are you sure it's Luo Man?
Luo Man?!
Nanyang University Philosophy Department's Luo Man?
Yeah! A few months ago, after I met her at Santorini,
she left without a word.
I think there must be a reason.
So I must ask her personally.
What did he say? Something ni? What is that?
An island in Greece.
But Luo Man never told me this.
Until now, she hasn't even been to Jiuzhaigou,
not to mention leaving the country.
There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.
Maybe not.
You don't understand women, I understand women.
They are unreasonable.
They can do anything.
Can I meet Luo Man? The sooner the better!
Yes, I'll let you meet her right away.
Eat up.
This month's living expensesare almost gone again.
Soon I won't be able toeat my cute buns anymore.
But good thing,
the salary for my new job is pretty okay.
Should be enough to buy 30 buns.
Over there.
Just who is the guy who wants to meet me?
Li Xiu Qi being all secretive.
What's he plotting?
Okay guys,
I want to meet her by myself.
Can you guys wait here?
Okay.
What is he doing?
Luo Man.
I finally get to meet you.
Luo Man!
My bread!
Luo Man! Here! Come here!
Come here!
My bread!
- Xiu Qi!- Come here!
Hurry!
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize. Give me my bread and laundry costs.
Okay.
But if I may ask,
are you the only Luo Man majoring in Philosophy here?
That's right. I'm the only Luo Man.
How many times do you want me to repeat myself?
Wait. Is there a misunderstanding here?
Are you sure the one you want to find is in this school?
I'm sure I saw the name on the student handbook.
Student handbook?
This one?
Yeah, this one!
Luo Man, third year student. Philosophy Major.
The words and content are the same as the one I saw.
Are you sure this is yours?
I can recognize my own student handbook!
didn't you lose your handbook two months ago?
Oh. Right.
When I went to the airport to pick up my dad,
I bumped into this girl, and dropped my bag.
I quickly picked it up but when I got back, she's not there anymore.
But it's all fine. I got it back from the reception office.
Then how should we say, the girl who took Luo Man's student handbook
is the one Zhang Hao wants to find.
Do you know how to contact her?
No. She didn't leave any contact information.
Do you have a picture of her?
Let me see.
I met her for the first time three months ago in Santorini.
Should be around here.
The place where Mom and Dad came for their honeymoon.
Mom and I agreed to come here together/
But I ended up coming alone.
This is the angle.
Nice view, right?
So cold.
♪ When you try to squeeze me tight, everything just feels so right.
Is this a coincidence?
This is my Mom's favourite song when she was alive.
Never thought I could hear it here.
♪ I've tried so many times, to see me in your eyes.
♪ Oh I realize,
♪ Oh, I realize,
♪ the night is over.
♪ All is over.
♪ A love so beautiful, but we let it slip away.
♪ The sound of my voice,
♪ A smile on my face,
♪ I will always be the same for you.
♪ And I'll always be the same
♪ for you.
Thank you.
Hey!
Remember me?
We met earlier at Oia village.
Are you travelling alone?
Do you speak English?
Where are you from? China? Korea?
Do you speak any Mandarin?
Wait, wait...
Yes?
You know the song that you were singing..
it's "I'll Always Be The Same For You", right?
I just thought you... have a lovely voice.
So... do you want to go to dinner with me?
I wasn't singing for you.
Hey!
So um..there's this ship that goes to Mykonos everyday.
It's called...
It's called Destiny.
And if we happen to bump into each other on the ship,
then it's really destiny, right?
Don't forget to check the name of the ship!
Thank you.
And then? Did you meet her?
Yes. It was a miracle.
I think it was fate.
Can you stop that?
And then where did you guys meet?
At Mykonos' pier,
I waited for two whole days before she came.
That morning, I just got to the pier,
a ship was docking.
At that time, I couldn't believe my eyes.
I found her asking for the ship's name.
I realized that she remembered me and my words.
Excuse me!
What's the name of this boat?
Destiny.
Hey, good to see you again!
Why do you look so surprised?
Were you on the Destiny just now?
Wow.
That's unbelievable. I didn't think it would actually happen.
So, what do you think we should do now?
You know I think we should follow the call of our fate?
Elef̱thería.
Freedom.
You. Are you Chinese?
That's great!
That is the name of the ship
and also the name of the Captain.
Because he is the Captain so...um...
Anyway,
I'm Zhang Hao. 22 years old.
The boat everyone sees at the pier is called Destiny.
Which means destiny.
The Captain named it in 1997 to support Athens in its bid for the 2004 Olympics.
The meaning is for the Olympics to return to its place of creation after 100 years.
But doesn't the name on the boat say Freedom?
The Captain has already passed away
and the boat was bought by a merchant who refurbished it.
But we can still see its original name on the boat.
What is this for?
Plain water has no taste
so I always add a piece of sugar.
You have so many tricks.
Well,
I know you'd rather eat steak than seafood.
But I still don't know your name.
Are names important?
Of course. You are my destined one.
How can I not know your name?
I need to go to the restroom.
Nanyang University. Philosophy Department.
Luo Man.
We really are destined
even finding your name is a coincidence.
No wonder you misunderstood.
But why didn't she tell you her real name?
Don't be discouraged,
I'm guessing she's a university student about our age.
There will be news if we ask around a bit.
Well, now you know what she looks like
if you see her, please tell me.
Okay. Let me see it again.
the difference between this girl and Luo Man is too big.
A big difference? Where?
Look. She's a beauty with elegance.
No wonder Zhang Hao pushed you into the lake after seeing your face.
You scared him.
- You!- Stop hitting!
Brother Luo, I'm still considering whether or not to join your band.
I'm a Pisces. I'm very sensitive.
You! Don't forget to pay me my bread and laundry fees!
I'm watching you!
Just join us.
It's great to have a preschool teacher who can play music.
You can teach kids to play the piano and sing.
Such a beautiful picture.
I'm on diet.
I don't even have the strength to hold fried chicken.
I'm so hungry.
My head's full of pizza and fried chicken.
I'm not in the mood for anything else.
You can lose weight by joining the band.
Luo Man! Can you be more quiet?
Can't you see I'm studying?
Song Qing, do you want to join the band?
Are you under the impression that your life is totally carefree?
Or are you missing a few brain cells?
According to 2010 governmental statistics,
from the sixth national census, the national population is 1,343,239,923.
Based on these stats, to become one of the top one percent elite of the population,
you must beat 1,329,807,513.77 people.
In such an intense competitive circumstances like this,
how could someone about to test in for her accounting license, like me, join a band?
I have no plans to squeeze into that top one percent.
I think it's pretty nice just to hang in the middle.
You think it's going to be easy to stay in the middle?
You'll have to beat fifty percent of 1,343,239,923 people,
which is six hundred seventy-one mil__
you're amazing at calculating.
Come and help me calculate TaoBao. It's giving me a headache.[Taobao = Chinese online shopping website]
I'm going to the study room.
How come she just left?
Continue with your TaoBao.
Luo Man, you know I joined the band because of Xiu Qi.
I know.
Then do you think it's likely between Xiu Qi and I?
You have to help me.
I only joined the band because you need members.
Okay, okay, I get it.
I still don't know if I'll be able to gather enough members.
I need 5, and I still short of 2 people now.
Xiu Qi, these are a few girls that my friends introduced me.
Not bad, huh?
Yeah, not bad.
Why don't you have any interest in girls?
I do.
Could it be that you are...
I'm editing my speech. Can you not bother me?
I'm back!
The American's back. Where did you run off to?
I went to the supermarket to buy a few things.
Look at this rug. Not bad isn't it?
It was cheap too.
Let's put it at the door.
We get your good intentions.
But this is a summer mat,
We use this to sleep.
Sleep on? Is it comfortable?
Tonight, take this and sleep on it.
Experience Chinese people's intelligence.
That's right. I want to find a place to work so that I can earn my living expenses.
Do you know any restaurants or book stores that are hiring?
I only have 30 dollars left.
I remember the library is hiring part time jobs for students.
You can give that a try.
That's great. Thanks.
You don't smell it?
Wang Min Qiang! Come down!
Come down.
Wang Min Qiang. Computer-Science Major.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Zhang Hao, you're the first one in this dorm that dares to shake his hand.
Zhang Hao, I'm going to shower. Want to come?
Okay.
I'm coming too! I have a date tonight, I need to freshen up.
a new roommate's here, how about you try showering?
It's enough to wash once a year.
This is my bottom line.
- This is our bathhouse.- Okay.
How come mine doesn't have water?
You didn't insert the shower card.
Shower card? What is that?
You have to spend money to buy a shower card inorder to shower.
So it's like that.
Here, come to my side.
American,
nice body. How do you maintain it?
Exercise.
Lessen your trips to the nightclub to drink and you won't be like this.
I got it. Confidant Gege.
Why do you guys call him Confidant brother?
Is he older than everyone else?
Confidant Gege is his nickname.
Confidant Gege?
He's smart,
and also the president of the student council.
Students go to him not only to discuss their problems but also their worries.
Even when the dorm manager's daughter married bad,
she still had to discuss it with him or else she wouldn't be satisfied.
Xiu Qi, you are so warm-hearted.
Okay, stop fooling around.
Let's give you a scrub.
Here, big brother's gonna give you a scrub.
Sorry!
It's right.
Luo Man.
It's not strange for Brother Luo to be here.
Ma Jun Cai! Are you joining the band or not?!
I'm a sensitive Pisces. It's no use to threaten me.
You...
Zhang Hao.
No.
I have work tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the last day.
If I can't gather enough people, it'll be over.
Think about it.
Don't make me resort to extreme measures!
Luo Man, why don't you publicly recruit members like other clubs?
Maybe someone will join.
Good idea.
Why didn't you say this earlier? Let's go, baby!
Wait, the door's over there.
The dorm manager will catch me if I go through the front doors.
You don't know that girls can't enter the boy's dorms?
Leaving. Bye bye.
I keep telling you to call before you come.
Climbing around like this is too dangerous.
It's too bothersome to call. This is easier.
She is interesting.
Midnight. Lights out!
How do we go to the washroom?
There's lights in the hall washroom.
I see.
Looks like there's a lot I have to learn.
Look after me, Confidant Ge.
You!
Excuse me sir, can you take a picture for me?
Oh yeah, sure!
I'll be back.
Okay.
One.. Two.. Three..
There you go.
Thanks, man.
Sorry, do you need to take a picture for you two guys?
That will be great.
Come closer.
Thank you. Nice.
One.. Two.. Three..
This is Santorini's smallest church.
So beautiful. Like a painting.
Getting married here must be very joyful.
Yeah.
That's right. You didn't bring your cellphone right?
If we get separated, we can meet up here.
Luo Man.
Sorry. What did you say?
Do you have something on your mind?
It's nothing.
Let's go.
When we were in front of the church,
if I kept on asking,
She might have told me what was on her mind.
- This is yours. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
I'm just early.
Just early.
She has never been late.
Did something happen?
So did she say where she was going,
or where she's gonna be or did she leave any messages?
No.
Excuse me, have you seen this Chinese girl around here?
No.
Luo Man!
I thought that I could meet you once I come to Xiamen.
I will find you.
I will.
