You're a licensed professional psychologist.
Why would you leave the hospital
and come to our dating site to work as a therapist?
I'm like everyone else.
I have been heartbroken, too.
I used to worry
I wouldn't be able to find closure,
and I'd never love another again.
So I want to help those like me,
who have been hurt
or feel helpless in relationships.
Maybe from the perspective of psychology,
I'm trying to help myself through helping others.
Use their examples to convince myself
how to learn to love again.
I DON'T LOVE HER ANYMORE. HOW COME I CAN'T LOVE ANYONE ELSE
"Why yield? Why compromise?"
"Why yield?
Why compromise?
A breakup will make you happier?"
What's this nonsense? Tell me!
- This-- - Boss, calm down.
That divorce firm being across the street is bad enough for us.
They even made a poster!
If I wasn't quick to rip it down and our members saw the poster,
it'd be devastating, wouldn't it?
Yes, it's easy to face a frontal attack, but hard to guard against an ambush.
That's right, putting a poster like that
across the street from our office
is like putting a curse on us!
We can't stand by and let them walk all over us.
Boss, don't worry.
Our members have been increasing more than ever.
We're also ready
to elect a Mr. Popular from the membership
to package and promote him.
I believe we can surpass this year's KPI
- on successful matches. - Yes.
At last, that's music to my ears.
Don't bother with the election.
I'll get menopause by the time you're done.
I've already picked someone from our new members.
Boss has great taste. He must be the best.
I've looked into his profile.
He's a new member,
but his followers and popularity
beat our past record.
His looks are even more outstanding
than the old Mr. Popular.
I know!
We'll do a match-making event for him.
Maybe we'll get more women to join!
Why did you kick me?
I didn't.
- You totally did. - I did not.
Let's brainstorm
and put this event together.
Hand it in to me soon.
No problem.
Put that poster in the shredder.
Yes, right away.
- Get to work. - Yes.
You!
What did you do this time?
I--
Ms. Mei-zhen's Mr. Popularity is this guy.
Him? Why him?
MURPHY'S LAW NUMBER THREE: ANY EFFECTIVE SOLUTION
How can this NG Man be our member?
Does it have anything to do with you?
What's going on?
I asked my friend Simon to get his cute buddies to join.
I didn't know it would be him.
He's such a catch.
He's super popular.
Look.
Why does his face look like it's lit up by LED backlight?
Why is his face so bright?
It's true.
His skin is impeccable.
No.
We can't let this NG Man become our Mr. Popularity.
What should we do?
I know!
We'll cancel his membership.
No way.
It's only thanks to this record-breaking man
that Boss calmed down.
If she finds out the webmaster
canceled his membership,
who do you think would suffer?
The webmaster--
That's me.
All right.
We can't admit defeat.
Think about it.
Even the CEO of Renew Agent of Divorce needs to find love on a dating site.
That means they don't believe in their work.
Moreover, it's the best advertisement
for our dating site.
Since Boss picked him to be Mr. Popularity,
we have no choice but to give it a shot.
No way!
I'm the only one who has bad blood with him.
The only one who has dealt with him.
What if he gives me a hard time to spite me?
Ask him to let go of the past and be Mr. Popularity.
It's hard to make it in this world.
You can never be too careful.
Only Dr. Love can handle NG Man.
Right.
Go for it.
- You can do it. - Go.
Xin-xin and Allen always stick together
in life-or-death moments like this.
I'm a psychologist, not an expert negotiator.
Never mind. Let's practice.
Mr. Ji, from your looks to your speech,
from your speech to your knowledge,
I think it'd be a shame if you didn't participate
in the Mr. Popularity event.
Jeez, this is so tacky.
It's so expected.
It's so boring and stupid.
Even I wouldn't agree to it, if it were me.
Welcome.
If only men could be like sanitary napkins,
comfortable and easy to deal with.
Why must it be this NG Man?
How can I convince him?
Pardon, let me through.
Don't worry.
I have no interest in the 4G Good Man in your hand.
Your receipt. Thanks.
Hi.
That will be $4.50.
I'm sorry. I forgot my wallet.
Can I leave these here for now?
I'll pay for them later.
My office is nearby.
- Together. - Sure.
What are you doing?
This is your change. Thanks.
Thanks.
No worries.
Ji--
I said, "No worries." Why are you following me?
I'm not following you.
Wait.
Fine, I do need to talk to you.
Um...
Mr. Ji, your looks are great.
You're a catch, really.
You're the CEO of a company.
You may seem like you don't believe in love,
but if you're willing to do online dating,
- then you should open your heart. - Enough.
What are you saying?
I'm saying,
I may have misjudged you before.
But you should put aside your personal vendetta
and consider attending our Mr. Popularity event.
Please tell me,
why should I go?
If you have a psychological obstacle
that you can't overcome,
I'm happy to help you resolve it.
Whatever.
I would never, ever,
go to your Mr. Popularity event.
I think you've made a mistake.
Hey!
Xi-men Wang, you're dead meat.
It's just a game. Not a big deal.
A true scoundrel deserves the worst.
Come on! Don't use torture
for interrogation.
Fine, don't tell us.
I'll call your wife.
I'll tell her
how many times you've used my name to get with girls.
- That's the number. - Great.
No.
Fine, I admit it.
I used your photo to open an account
on the dating website.
You let the boss of a divorce firm
sign up for online dating?
- Right? - Yes.
Are you dumb or what?
We're a divorce firm.
You want me to sabotage other companies with the practical theory of breakup,
or do you want others to think we're hypocrites?
Boss, it's because you won't date.
I'm selecting potential partners for you.
I used Zhi-yu as the standard
for your ideal mate.
It's spot on.
I'm such a good friend.
- You-- - No!
So I should thank you.
You're so thoughtful.
Don't thank me.
That's me.
I sacrifice myself for others.
Don't mention it.
Thanks.
Where are you going?
NUMBER OF FOLLOWERS
Xi-men is such a douche!
XIAO-TONG GUAN
No.
RECIPIENT: DR. LOSER
Wait.
Why should I explain to that woman?
No.
Jia-wei,
I think you should forgive Xi-men.
I guess so.
If I wanted to punish him,
it wouldn't be like this.
Xi-men is right, though.
You say you're fine.
But you've been running away from love.
As your buddy,
I hate to see you like this.
You know what I think?
I think you should use this opportunity
to try online dating.
Think about it.
Xi-men already set up the account for you.
Maybe you can really find
a woman as good as your ex.
It won't hurt to try.
Come on.
That makes sense.
I know,
you go for me.
You're single, too. Right?
- Jia-wei. - By the way,
change the standards to your own.
Xi-men can set it up.
It's on me.
Boss, it's because you won't date.
I'm selecting potential partners for you.
I used Zhi-yu as the standard
for your ideal mate.
It's spot on.
I'm such a good friend.
You say you're fine.
But you've been running away from love.
I think you should use this opportunity
to try online dating.
Did you get him to agree to be Mr. Popularity?
It's so annoying.
His reaction and attitude are so confusing.
I don't know what he's thinking.
He's more stubborn than a mule.
If I tried harder,
I'm sure he'd kick me with his hind legs.
Really?
By the sound of it, it's been a terrible day for you.
Thankfully you'll get delicious food today
that can make it all better.
That's right. I'll eat my anger away.
Turn anger into strength.
Don't worry, though.
I'm sure I can find someone
- better than Jia-wei Ji. - That's right.
Someone better than me? I can't wait to see.
Why did we run into him?
I have no idea.
I think he overheard our conversation.
The chances are even more slim now.
It's fine. The antagonism between us didn't start today.
You want to go alone?
Yes, this place is highly recommended.
I thought I'd check out the venue
for our Mr. Popularity event.
When I'm done,
I have to go back and keep working.
Fine, don't work too late.
- Keep in touch. - Be safe.
- All right. - Bye-bye.
Hi, do you have a reservation?
- No. - I'm sorry.
We're booked full tonight.
All right. That's fine.
Let me double check to see
if anyone canceled.
- Thanks. - I'll be right back.
A restaurant that's also a gallery
is perfect for Xiao-qing Guan.
Miss,
we have a table that canceled.
- Really? - Yes.
We're setting the table for you.
- This way, please. - Thanks.
Please wait here.
Let me check
- if your table's ready. - Sure.
Miss, your table is ready.
This way, please.
What a beautiful view! I got a table without a reservation!
I think I can go buy a lottery ticket today.
Waiter!
- I'll handle it. - Yes, Boss.
Hi, what can I do for you?
I'd like an oven-roasted steak.
I'm sorry.
This is a no-menu restaurant.
Customers do not order dishes.
I see, well--
You can just let me know what you don't eat
or what you're allergic to.
The chef will do the rest.
Sure, I'll leave it to you.
- I'll be back. - Thanks.
I saw this oven-roasted steak online.
I thought you said--
We are a no-menu restaurant,
but we do offer
private cooking classes.
This oven-roasted steak
is from the menu of our cooking course.
Then why would it--
It was to be my dinner, actually.
But I asked the chef to make it for you.
Since you came with the expectation of having this dish,
it's more important for you to have a good time.
Thank you.
Sure thing. I hope you like it.
Enjoy.
Yum! This restaurant is really good.
Even the waiter is so sweet.
A man like that is gentle and considerate.
At least one G.
So this is what it feels like to have your expectations met.
Murphy's Law is losing its effect.
MESSAGE REPLIED
Dear Wayne,
a person you no longer love
cannot affect you anymore.
So I think you're still in love with her.
Crazy woman!
Are you sure? It's been a year since we broke up.
I can't be in love with her.
I've almost forgotten her cell phone number.
You just recited her number in your mind, didn't you?
Says who?
I completely forgot it.
How long were you together?
Four years.
You brought up her phone number for a reason.
Is it because you often want to call her
but you're afraid to?
Is she a psychologist or a mind reader?
Given how fast he responds to the messages,
he hasn't gotten over her,
and he was deeply hurt by her.
If you can't face the fact that you still love her,
it's hard for me to help you find the courage to love again.
Did she stay here overnight to work overtime?
MR. POPULARITY MEET-AND-GREET BACK-UP PLAN
THREE PROFESSIONALS
MEMBER PROFILE
What are you doing?
Um--
Did you stay here until six in the morning for something like this?
What's it to you?
It's all your fault!
Hand it over.
Well, I guess there's some merit to the saying,
"Strength in numbers." You don't need me now.
Don't worry, even if nobody wants them,
I'd never waste my time to ask you again.
That's even better.
That saves me the effort of turning you down.
See you.
You're crazy!
You don't need to stay here overnight for work!
What can I do?
Boss is breathing down my neck.
If I didn't have a back-up plan, I'd be so anxious.
You could've called.
Boss is here.
Hurry.
Boss, this is Mr. Popularity's back-up plan.
Three professionals.
They're the most popular members
from each of the professions,
doctor, lawyer and accountant.
With a crash course in relationships,
including cultivating concepts of romance,
elevating fashion style, rehearsal of dating Q&A,
in no time, we will turn them into
preferred members on the singles market.
They'll surpass the current Mr. Popularity.
But the current Mr. Popularity
has more followers than the three of them combined.
They're like diamonds in the rough.
With careful packaging,
they'll outshine the current Mr. Popularity.
They'll get more followers, too.
I know you always have a back-up plan.
But a back-up plan is never as good as the original plan.
Why ditch the original plan?
Not for lack of trying.
But that Mr. Popular is the CEO
of that divorce firm across the street.
I have no idea why he joined the site,
and he doesn't want to come to the event.
Even better!
He came and challenged us.
We can't surrender without a fight!
- That's true, but-- - No more "but's."
Mr. Popularity's meet-and-greet is next week.
I've got sponsors and the date is set.
The rest is your job.
Good luck.
MURPHY'S LAW NUMBER FOUR: THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO DO
AND ALWAYS TIME TO DO IT OVER
Why must Boss insist on having him?
Right?
Allen should get plastic surgery to look like him.
Sure, if Boss pays for it.
You two,
my back-up plan already got shot down.
The event is approaching.
Are you helping me or pulling my leg?
There's nothing we can do
but find joy in misery.
Nothing we can do.
No, I'll use my spirit against Murphy's Law.
I can't give up, even if he turns me down.
- So? - I won't take no for an answer.
I'll think of a way to get him to agree.
But you'd have to know where he is.
Yes, shoot the horse to get the rider.
We'll start with the people around him.
Yes, you're so smart!
7AM WORK OUT AT THE GYM 1PM LUNCH WITH CLIENT AT VVG
I killed countless brain cells
and worked extra hard using my personal charm
to finally convince Simon to get me Mr. Popularity's schedule.
I'm so tired from it.
You're exaggerating!
It's just a schedule.
How many brain cells could it take?
Use your personal charm?
Fine. Thank you.
Exercise makes the body healthy.
Mr. Popularity's event makes the soul content.
Balance between body and soul is the way to go.
I remember someone told me
she'd never come to me again, no matter what.
What? You have amnesia?
What's past stays in the past.
We must be forward looking.
Don't shut me out.
If you agree to come to Mr. Popularity's event,
we can design a customized--
I mean it.
Don't shut me out.
We can design a customized--
Please don't shut me out.
Are you here to mess with me?
I'm not trying to mess with you.
I just want to talk to you
about Mr. Popularity's event.
Hey!
I can't keep this up.
I'll kill myself doing it.
No.
If I went back empty-handed, Boss would throw a fit again.
Xin-xin and Allen would suffer from her fury, too.
