No, I already swore to him
I'd never waste time to beg him again.
Now that makes me seem like I don't mean what I say.
Never mind.
No.
If the soft approach doesn't work. I'll use hard approach.
Let's see who's tougher, you or my Murphy's Law life!
Hello? Is anyone here?
Who are you? What are you doing here all alone?
Excuse me?
Are you Dr. Love?
- Hi. - Hi, I've never seen Polo
be so friendly to a stranger.
That means he likes you as much as I do.
Thanks.
I was wondering if your CEO is around?
CEO?
Didn't you give them the schedule?
How come nothing's happening?
Maybe he's found out
we're secretly working with the Mr. Popularity event?
Hey! You two are acting suspicious.
Are you up to no good?
- No way! - Impossible!
Let's exercise.
Exercise.
Mr. Ji, what will it take for you to say yes?
Do I need to take back "NG Man" or apologize?
Miss, I also want to ask you,
what will it take for you to give up?
- I think-- - Also, for the last time,
I won't participate in that stupid meet-and-greet.
Because I'm not--
Not an unreasonable person.
Boss, Ms. Guan came all this way.
You should at least give her a chance.
Listen, if this gets out,
people would say a man bullied a frail girl.
- Me? Bullied her? - That's right.
That's right.
Why don't we play a game of this?
If I win, you have to go.
You want to play this?
That's right.
Ready?
We're about to start.
Nice shot, Boss!
It's one to zero.
Why do you have the confidence to challenge me?
It's been forever since I rode a bike. I'm just a little rusty.
Fine. Let's keep playing.
The score is two to zero.
Last chance.
Are you guys all right?
How do you think we should score this point?
It seems that Ms. Guan lost,
but Boss got something out of it, too.
- Hey! - I'm injured!
I've never seen
anyone run into the goal just to chase after a ball.
- You-- - Don't worry.
I'll keep my word.
I won't pester you about Mr. Popularity again.
How could I have done something so stupid?
Wait.
I have a feeling if I go to work today,
I'll run into that guy again.
No, I can't go to work.
Wait, if Xin-xin asks me what happened yesterday?
What should I tell her?
Xin-xin, um--
I'm not feeling well today.
I'm sore all over.
I can't go to work today.
Please tell them I'm taking the day off.
Thanks.
Why did I do this to myself
over this Mr. Popularity thing?
Ouch!
Every time I run into Jia-wei Ji,
things only get worse for me.
I must stuff my face today to compensate for it.
What's wrong, Polo?
We're here. Why won't you go in? Let's go.
What are you doing here?
What are you looking at?
I told you, there's nothing to see here.
Hush!
What the heck?
Let's go!
Come on.
Meeting's starting.
Good morning, Boss.
Boss.
Jia-wei.
I'll take him.
Polo, come here.
Let's report back
on the progress of your cases.
Linda's divorce case should be wrapping up now.
Okay, but keep track of our clients.
Our primary goal is to ensure our clients' lives get back to normal
after their divorce.
Boss, Linda doesn't intend to go back to her normal life.
She continues to try different ways to have you
carry out our post-divorce services,
such as our Weeping Cinema
and Singles' Hobbies Development.
Please take a look.
Is Linda the female client
who envisions Boss as the target of her next relationship?
That's the one.
Here's what I think.
We can't say yes to all female clients who try to approach Boss
in the name of service.
Linda may be difficult,
but I can handle her.
It's all right. I'll do it.
When's your appointment with her?
Boss, forget it.
It's been forever since her divorce party.
Don't mind her.
Our post-sale service
is meant to let divorced couples part on good terms,
let go of the past and look to the future.
Anyway,
I have this all-purpose prop to protect me. Don't worry.
Next.
This seared tuna allows people who are scared of sashimi
to try different textures of food.
Pair it with a special sauce,
it's an entirely different flavor.
Put it on the plate, and it's all done.
Zi-yan, it's all thanks to you teaching me these recipes
that brought my little izakaya back from the dead.
I'm really grateful.
Boss, you're too kind.
You've given me an opportunity
to try different types of cuisine.
I should be thanking you.
Jia-wei Ji, you stupid dead fish!
What are you looking at? I'll poke your eyes out!
Xiao-tong Guan, we're here to enjoy good food
and cleanse our souls today.
Stop thinking about that guy.
- Here's your grilled rice ball. - Thanks.
Have we met before?
Oven-roasted steak.
It's such a small world!
Are you working here part-time?
No, this is my friend's place.
I came to see him.
- It's such a coincidence to run into you. - Seriously!
You don't like fish?
That's not it.
It's because this fish's eyes seem imprudent,
its mouth looks super arrogant, and maybe it has a lot of tiny bones.
So I--
You can tell the fish is imprudent and arrogant?
I don't know much about that,
but if you're worried about tiny bones, there's an easy fix.
Here, let me show you.
Stand the fish upright.
Use chopsticks to press down on its back, let the bones and meat
separate from each other.
Next, look closely.
That's amazing!
Now you can enjoy the fish.
Thanks!
It's so amazing!
You didn't tell me
this izakaya teaches special tricks like that.
I'm sorry.
This is my friend, Xin-xin Xia.
Hi, I'm Xin-xin.
I'm Xiao-tong's friend.
My name is Xiao-tong Guan.
Hi, I'm Zi-yan Xiang.
- Zi-yan Xiang. - Hi.
Since your friend's here,
I won't impose anymore.
- I should get going. - No problem. Thank you.
- Enjoy your meal. - Bye.
What took you so long?
The dishes are cold now.
Your boss asked me to stay at the last minute.
Who was that cutie?
Him?
He's the 1G guy I told you about.
He's "oven-roasted 1G"?
Keep it down!
He's so cute!
GODDESS DR. LOVE
HASN'T ANSWERED OUR QUESTIONS IN DAYS
IN URGENT NEED OF GODDESS TOO
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY DR. LOVE HAS VANISHED?
That's odd.
Where did this woman go?
Hello? This is Ms. Xia.
There are no cabs available?
All right, thanks.
Yes, I'm calling for a cab?
No cabs available?
Thanks. Bye-bye.
I can't get a cab by phone or by app.
It's usually super easy to get a cab here.
I don't understand why this is happening.
I know you're blaming me.
Don't do that.
You always blame me for bad things
and never credit me for good things.
I didn't say anything.
Don't read too much into it.
You guys can't get a cab?
Want me to give you a lift?
- Sure! - No.
Come on.
So you're into cooking?
That's the exact opposite
of our gourmet Xiao-tong Guan here.
Who said I was a gourmet?
It's rare to find a girl gourmet. Most are afraid to gain weight.
That's because you have no idea, Xiao-tong Guan is really fat.
She can't resist the temptation of good food.
So if you know of any great restaurants,
you have to let her know.
No problem.
The restaurant database in my mind
is faster and easier to search than Google.
Amazing! Please give me your contact info!
- Xin-xin Xia! - It's fine.
We've been talking for a while, I think we're friends now.
It's fine to ask for his contact info, right?
Anyway, I'm doing it
for your insatiable stomach.
Right?
- Here. - Thanks.
- To the right. - Here?
- Lower. - Here?
- Back a little. Yes! - Here?
That's the spot. It's so sore!
Xiao-tong Guan, aren't you cursed by Murphy's Law?
How did you meet such a good man?
Who?
Don't play dumb. I mean Zi-yan Xiang.
He's the stuff of dreams!
Just think,
this Zi-yan Xiang is already a 2G man.
What 2G?
You said so yourself.
First, he gave you his dinner.
He's gentle and sweet.
When he saw me at the izakaya,
he left us alone.
He's respectful of women
and doesn't suffocate you, so he's--
I think you're right!
In the cab earlier,
I think he was trying to talk to you.
Is he into you?
- You don't know that. - It's the feeling I got.
Come to think of it,
he seems to be the nemesis of your Murphy's Law.
He's like your guardian against Murphy's Law.
Whenever he shows up,
the effects of Murphy's Law go like this.
Completely pushed away.
He's like the grandmaster!
If you put it that way, I think there's some truth to it.
It's completely true.
I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?
No, I just hurt all over whenever I move.
Look at you.
Why did you do this to yourself?
Why did you challenge Mr. Popularity to a game of polo?
It's your friend Simon's fault.
The schedule he gave us had a bunch of info.
I even looked up "bike polo" on the Internet.
I thought it was just riding bikes and swinging polo sticks.
Who knew a childish sport like that
could hurt me so badly.
Was the pain worth it?
It's nothing compared to the pain my ego has suffered.
Whenever I think of how full of myself I was in front of Jia-wei Ji,
I just feel so embarrassed.
I've ruined the Mr. Popularity event.
I don't know what to tell Boss.
Never mind that, it's in the past.
It's no use worrying about it now.
You've done your best.
We can always figure something out when we get to the office.
- By the way, will you come in tomorrow? - Of course.
I feel bad enough taking one day off.
Also, I've made an appointment to talk about the event venue.
That's true.
All right, you should get some rest.
At the divorce party, you told me,
as long as I end the wrong relationship,
I will soon have a new beginning, right?
That's our garden outside.
If you'd like a better view, you can move the tables aside.
The buffet can be set up here.
This is our floor plan.
Right. What you're saying is,
we can use both the garden and the space inside?
Yes, this space here if you need,
can be made available to you, too.
Are you listening to me?
I'm sorry.
This is a serious matter.
Why can't you be brave and get a divorce like me?
Linda, it's not like that.
I think you've misunderstood me.
Helping you through the rough times is just my job.
Linda.
I understand now. Thank you.
- I'll take a look around. - Sure. Thank you.
Mr. Ji, you seem to have a table.
I'm just here to tell you.
No wonder you won't take part in the Mr. Popularity event.
Turns out, you're not just a love insulator,
you're also a love scammer!
Can't believe you'd do something like this.
I know many men use their wedding ring as a prop,
just to have a romantic relationship without being responsible.
I just didn't think I'd actually witness it in action.
There is just one thing left between you and me, and that is $4.50.
We don't owe each other anything now.
Since we're even, from now on,
please keep an 18 inch distance from me at all times.
What?
According to psychology,
the space around you, about 5 to 16 inches,
is a personal bubble.
Only intimate friends can enter this personal bubble.
So, please keep your distance from me.
By the way,
romantic relationships with impure objectives are doomed from the start.
Come to think of it,
it's better you don't come to the Mr. Popularity event.
Otherwise it'd be so sad for our members
who crave a real relationship.
Ms. Guan, you can't say that.
- He won't do it because-- - It's because--
I don't think it's important at all.
That's all. Let's go.
"Don't think it's important"?
Jia-wei, why did you stop me earlier?
Why didn't you just explain everything to her?
Why get yelled at for no reason?
You're right.
But you saw how fierce she was playing polo.
I didn't tell her Simon signed me up without my knowledge.
If I tell her now, it wouldn't solve anything.
It would make the misunderstanding worse.
That makes sense, too.
So,
I thought I'd give her some space, and not be totally ruthless.
Well said. That's what I love about Jia-wei.
Our two companies were enemies,
now we've made it murky and ambiguous.
They'll be totally confused.
No, I mean--
I know.
You won't easily give in to her.
We can't let her use anything against us.
If word gets out that we use online dating,
it would seriously impact
the reputation of our firm.
Jia-wei, you managed to take care of both sides.
What? It's all your fault!
You think I don't know
you took part in this Mr. Popularity thing, too?
Jia-wei, if Xi-men hadn't started it,
things wouldn't have gotten out of control.
Come to think of it, Xiao-tong Guan is unfortunate.
She unintentionally got wrapped up in Xi-men's scheme.
What scheme?
Yet she's shown incredible determination.
She's undaunted by failure.
Even after she lost the bet,
she accepted the result. She kept her word.
A girl like that is truly incredible. She's a heroine in my eyes.
She's really quite impressive.
It's a pity this heroine has encountered our true hero,
because our boss here is completely disheartened.
He'd never agree to take part in that Mr. Popularity event.
I see.
So she fell at the polo court for nothing.
- That must've hurt. - So much.
Hey!
Don't you two have work to do?
Of course we do.
We have to visit a new client, right?
What new client?
Yes. The new client.
- Boss, we should get going. - Yes. Let's go.
Those two.
Hello?
What?
That's right. Let's talk back at the office.
I'm almost there.
I have no idea what I'll say to Boss.
Some things are just impossible, no matter what.
Oh well, I still have to face it.
Hold on.
Miss!
911.
Hello? Emergency service? Someone is trying to kill herself.
Don't come near me.
Linda, be careful.
You said you'd help me through my divorce.
Now I've finally got my life back,
why are you pushing me away?
Don't come near me.
Please calm down.
Promise you will be with me, right now,
or I'll jump!
You must give me an answer today, or I'll jump!
Hello? What did you say?
I have terrible reception here. Hello?
You're breaking up with me?
- Hey. - You're dumping me on the phone?
You better explain yourself.
Fine. I'm on the roof now.
I'm sure you can guess
what's going to happen next.
You honestly think I'd be so silly as to kill myself
for an unworthy man like you?
If I did, I wouldn't be doing myself justice.
Listen, I'm not someone who'd treat
any old pair of shoes like treasure.
Perhaps you used to think
you could use your life as a bargaining chip
to get something you want but can't have.
But if you can't even
love and treasure yourself,
how can you hope others would love you?
What do you know?
Have you ever been divorced?
Do you know how painful life is after divorce?
Do you?
It took so much of me
just to pull myself back together.
That's because he gave me the courage.
Yet I'm alone in the end. Why?
But he also stayed with you through the toughest, darkest moments
after your divorce, didn't he?
Please calm down.
The thing is,
I'm not married.
I wear a wedding ring
to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
More importantly,
I don't want to develop romantic attachment with clients,
because the time I spend with you does end.
I'm sorry to cause any misunderstanding for you.
But I sincerely believe
if you can help someone walk away from a relationship,
then she can forget the unpleasant past,
and embrace her life anew.
I know you did that on purpose.
I know you only helped me
because you took pity on me.
But I have nothing now, after the divorce.
That's why I wanted to have you for myself.
The thing is, what you need the most right now is not pity.
You need to learn how to love yourself.
The most important thing
a failed relationship taught me
is never be with someone
who's not right for you.
Because two people growing apart
is far more terrifying than being alone.
You can borrow these shoes for now.
Maybe you haven't realized you've hurt your feet.
Your wounded feet may need a pair of shoes to protect them,
but your old shoes didn't fit you.
If you want to find
a pair of nice shoes that can last a long time,
you need to spend time to look and to try.
Here. Come away from the ledge.
