Hello, ma'am.
Don't call her "ma'am."
No, I mean-- Auntie.
Jia-wei Ji, you're here.
What took you so long?
No PDA.
I brought you a gift. Please accept it.
You shouldn't have.
It's bird's nest soup. It must be expensive.
No, it's not. Not at all.
A courtesy gift is important.
However, it can't be too expensive or too cheap.
However, it's not very cheap either.
What he means to say is, it's the thought that counts, right?
Yes, exactly.
Come on in.
Jia-wei Ji, did you read the five taboos of meeting your lover's parents?
What? Five taboos? Never heard of it.
Is that right?
What's this?
Why are you giving it to me? It's not mine.
Really?
What are those?
Hey, my mom made these slippers herself. You better wear them.
Hey, the decoration in your house is quite special.
They say you can tell a mother's style by the living room decoration.
My mom likes country style. So there's nothing my dad can do about it.
- Here, have some fruit. - Thanks.
Allow me.
Have a seat. You're our guest.
All right.
Thanks.
The tea is very hot.
Are you all right?
There's only one word to describe boss' ability to kiss up.
Lame.
He usually offends people as soon as he opens his mouth.
It's fine. It's not hot at all.
The tea smells great.
And it's very smooth.
I'm told you run a divorce firm. You work on the same street as Xiao-tong?
Yes.
What do your parents do? Do you have siblings?
Mom, you sound like you're interrogating a prisoner.
- What? I can't ask questions? - It's fine. Of course you may.
My dad has his own career. I'm an only child, no siblings.
An only child? What does your mother do?
- Mom. - I can't ask that either?
That's a lot of limitations.
Actually, my mom left us...
when I was very young.
So I don't know where she is, or what she does.
It's all right, though. I haven't given up.
I'm still waiting. Maybe she'll come back one day.
Mommy, we rarely have guests.
Can we have a drink? Do we have beer?
No, you can go get beer. I'll fix us something so we can eat.
I'll go get some beer.
- I'll go with you. - I'm coming along.
You stay here. We'll go. Let's go.
Come on.
Turns out, no matter how old you are, a man will always be upset when he sees
his daughter bring a boy home.
I'm sorry.
If his daughter gets hurt and cries for the guy in the future,
he'd be even more upset.
I won't let that happen.
Young man, don't be so sure.
Papa Guan...
Here.
Didn't Xiao-qing auction this off?
I brought it back for Mama Guan today.
I bought this brooch the day I met Xiao-tong.
That day was the day I came to know her.
She told me the story behind this brooch.
The kind of warmth and care of a family
is something I've never felt.
Her best attribute is how considerate she is of others,
especially those she cares about.
She's very patient, waiting on others as they air their grievances,
always tolerant of other people's problems.
However, I wish she wouldn't be so nice to others.
She should be nicer to herself.
I'm not saying that because I'm her father.
It's because she never complains.
I'm really worried that she might get hurt.
She truly deserves to be loved and pampered.
Now I understand
why a simple look from her
can make you feel warm inside,
and why she has the power to put you at ease.
Perhaps it's because she grew up in a family full of love.
That makes her so unique.
You must remember what I said today,
if you want to continue going out with Xiao-tong.
I will.
Papa Guan, please give this brooch to Mama Guan for me.
Sure. She'll be pleased.
Do you drink?
Mama Guan is such a good cook.
It's odd she didn't pass on that skill to her daughter.
My mom took cooking lessons from Zi-yan.
If you think it's good, I can take lessons from him.
How many times must I tell you? You can only learn from me.
It's that stubble-faced man again. I can't seem to get rid of him.
How did it go when you went to get beer with my dad?
Your father just gave me a few reminders.
It's a promise between us men. I can't tell you about it.
However, rest assured, I won't just say it.
I will do it.
Earlier, you said...
you can tell a mother's style from the living room.
It made me wonder
what kind of living room I'd have if my mom was around.
I didn't mean to upset you, asking you to meet my parents today.
Silly.
I should thank you for introducing me to your parents.
I've always wanted to feel that kind of warmth,
the way you would in a real family.
Also,
my family
includes you.
Be careful on the road.
When you visit Xiao-ling tomorrow at the hospital,
remember to give my notebook to Dr. Li of the Psychology Department.
This is for you. It's chicken soup from my mom.
Have it tonight.
Why don't you just come out and say it?
It's obvious that you have something to say.
I know
you put a lot of thought into this meeting today.
So...
Thank you.
Hey, Xiao-tong Guan.
By the way, don't forget about tomorrow's radio show.
See you on the air.
A panic attack? At the photo shoot?
This is what happens when you quit therapy.
I'll make an appointment for you to meet with Dr. Li tomorrow afternoon.
You must go see her.
- I-- - You promised me you'd see her
as soon as you're done shooting that commercial.
- All right. - Go home and write a letter to yourself.
It's part of the treatment.
Go home tonight and write a letter to yourself.
Write to the person you were a year ago.
We can only help you if you're willing to face the problem.
Xiao-tong Guan, your hair's messy. Fix it.
Did you touch up your makeup?
- Do it. - Why bother?
This is a radio show, not a TV show. They won't see her.
Well, what do you know?
Once this show airs,
our blog's popularity and members will increase tenfold.
Dr. Love will become the best spokesperson for our company.
She must be at her best appearance at all times.
Do you understand?
- You're exaggerating. - Not at all.
Hello, Cao?
Yes, we're doing an interview with some Dr. Love.
My boss decided on the topic, not me.
Nowadays, the streets are crawling with so-called Internet celebrities.
It has really gotten out of hand.
Anyway, I have to go.
Hi, Ms. Guan.
I'm Liu, the producer of True Love Has No Distance.
Hello, Mr. Liu.
I didn't know Dr. Love was so young and pretty.
I've been following you for ages.
You're the star of our show today. Good luck.
Yes, thank you.
I should get back to work. Have some tea.
Thanks.
Xiao-tong Guan, you're really popular. Even the producer is a fan.
We have to check out the blog later.
Let's watch as the number of our members shoots up.
Right. I can't wait to see huge traffic on our website.
I'm so nervous.
Hello?
Dad.
No, it's in ten minutes.
All right. I see.
Stop mopping the floor. Do it later. Xiao-tong's show is about to start.
It's just a radio show. It's no big deal.
It's starting.
Why are you looking at me? Can't I take a break?
Hello, dear listeners.
Thanks for tuning in to Pop Radio, FM 91.7.
Let's listen to this.
Welcome to True Love Has No Distance. I'm your host, Eva.
Today, our guest is Internet celebrity Dr. Love, Xiao-tong Guan.
She's here to tell us about her take on love and relationships.
Hello, everyone. I'm Xiao-tong Guan.
Miss, can you tell me where Dr. Cheng-yao Li's office is?
- Go straight ahead and make a right. - Thanks.
Even if you're the patient's family, you still need the physician's permission
to enter the psychological consulting room.
It's you.
I'm here to deliver consultation notes for a friend.
You can leave them with me. I'll give them to Dr. Li.
- Thanks. - Bye.
By the way,
last time,
you said you were Zhi-yu's attending physician.
Yes.
The person who just went in there, was it Zhi-yu?
I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
Often, after the body recovers from a physical injury, patients with PTSD
will realize they have a more difficult time recovering from emotional trauma.
This patient is now afraid to drive.
Zhi-yu is afraid to drive? Since when?
She kept the accident a secret. She even hid it from her boyfriend.
Lately, she seems to be refusing treatment
because she's having problems with her boyfriend.
The person who just went in there,
was it Zhi-yu?
I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
"The patient has undergone treatment for half a year,
yet still, at times, experiences repeated flashbacks of the traumatic event."
Symptoms include extreme emotional reactions,
sleeplessness, inability to focus."
This person is stuck in a nightmare.
When it comes to relationships, I'm just like everyone else.
It's like how doctors can get sick too.
I've had experiences in which I've found myself helpless.
What's the most important advice you could give
to our listeners who may be thinking of getting into a relationship?
I'm curious about what Dr. Love's advice would be.
Be courageous. Don't set limits for yourself.
I thought it was your 4G theory? We've all heard of that.
The 4G theory is a set of standards or criteria.
Before we enter into a relationship,
many of us have a set of expectations for the ideal mate.
So the 4G theory is a point of reference for people
who want to find their Mr. Right.
It may be good to have standards and expectations,
but feelings also play an important part.
Love isn't a business transaction after all.
So when you feel you've found the right person,
age, height or even nationality may not be an issue at all.
Some people may not meet the 4G criteria at all,
but that may be because they haven't met the right person.
Once they meet the right person, no matter where they are on the 4G scale,
they may be willing to do anything and everything for that person.
I don't know if our listeners can tell,
but I'm seeing a lot of pink bubbles surrounding our Dr. Love.
Let's begin.
Read it out loud, like you're reading a script.
It's not that hard.
"To the Zhi-yu He from a year ago
who was once very happy,
I've never really forgotten you
and those happy days from more than a year ago.
Those days when Jia-wei was still with you.
Those years when you thought of nothing but work.
You always waited until you got hurt or until you were tired,
only to turn around and find him always there waiting for you
with a smile on his face, devoid of complaints."
A good relationship is maintained when two people give in to it.
When you only see yourself, you might neglect the other person.
To have a happy relationship, both people must understand
that there's nothing more precious than the other person.
"It has probably never occurred to you
that your relationship would end up like this.
Come to think of it, sometimes you can't be that lucky in life.
If I hadn't hesitated at that moment,
perhaps things would be different with Jia-wei now."
Past failed relationships can help you move forward
to meet the next person who's even more worthy of your love.
If you find yourself unhappy, then don't stay there.
Move forward, like I did.
"I will no longer find a pure and beautiful love like that.
Right now, I can't help but think
that maybe if I stay where I am, he might turn around.
He might look back
and maybe he'll find me?"
You can't go in there.
That information I gave you,
the patient,
it's Zhi-yu, right?
Let me in if it has something to do with me.
Can we just call it a day?
About what happened that day,
I don't feel like talking about it.
We had a great start.
Maybe we can try to keep talking?
Maybe it's because so many unexpected things happened.
It made us better understand
how to hold onto the things that matter the most to you.
When I saw Jia-wei again that day,
that's what he said to me.
He's right.
Maybe that...
car accident...
taught me that lesson.
Before the accident,
I hung up on him.
I knew how he felt about me.
But that's just how I was.
I always asked him to tolerate and accommodate me.
Even on the night he planned to propose,
I made him wait late into the night until I finished working.
After I hung up,
the thought of how disappointed he would be
made me regret my decision immediately.
However,
even though I turned back to look at him, it was already too late.
Happiness is within reach,
yet I can't return to him.
When the accident happened,
the thought of that
hurt more than the wounds on my body.
What was it like during your year-long physical therapy?
It was painful.
But the hardest part was,
I realized that I no longer have the confidence
to return to my old life
and get my relationship back.
At the time, I thought
maybe he'd wait for me.
Maybe he'd accept me that way.
But when he picked up my call,
I couldn't utter a word.
Zhi-yu? Is that you, Zhi-yu?
Answer me.
At the time,
I couldn't see an end to the pain.
So...
I was afraid to get in touch with him.
I was afraid he'd take pity on me. I was terrified
I'd be like that for the rest of my life.
I knew my body would recover
if I kept doing physical therapy and undergoing treatment.
But to forget him...
I don't think
I'll ever be able to do that.
So...
I don't think I need to undergo psychological therapy.
Because...
I can't ever be the person I was a year ago.
Welcome back to Pop Radio, FM 91.7.
I'm sure everyone's excited to find out
what kind of man has won Dr. Love's heart?
We will now give Xiao-tong Guan's boyfriend a call
and tell him of the mission.
CALL UNANSWERED
Due to technical difficulties, we can't seem to get through right now.
While our team is trying to get in touch with him,
let's have Xiao-tong Guan share
some interesting things about the matchmaking site.
Zhu, what's going on? Why can't you get in touch with him?
This is a live show.
You're supposed to contact him before we go on the air!
Go make the call!
Jia-wei Ji is really terrible.
He was late for the meet-and-greet. Now he's late again.
I sure hope this mission is difficult.
Work him like a dog and make him pay for this.
Enough, take out your phone. We can call him too.
So annoying.
I hear you have a nickname, "Murphy Guan," right?
How did you get this nickname? Can you tell us?
Actually, it's a little like this situation right now.
Why did you turn it off?
I told you not to listen to it. It's awful.
You guys should head back. I want to wait here a little longer.
That frozen pork chop thawed and then froze again.
Why bother waiting for him?
I asked Xi-men and Shao-qiang. They can't find him either.
Who knows what he's doing?
I want to wait for the producer and apologize to him.
Xiao-tong, it's all right. Xin-xin and I already apologized to him.
We apologized profusely. We almost got on our knees.
But he's still mad. Maybe you should wait a few days.
But this is my fault.
He should take it out on me, if he's really that mad.
Xiao-tong Guan, please don't be like this all the time.
Seriously.
It's Ms. Mei-zhen.
