The Ex-Man (前男友不是人)

I signed the divorce papers.

So we can both be free.

Are you all right?

Having a platonic friend like you makes me quite lucky.

Do you still dislike me?

I dislike you so much.

I really wish you two the best.

But if you want me to be by your side, smiling as I look at you guys, I can't.

When are you coming to work?

I don't know what to do.

That's what's fun about it.

[Episode 11: Love is Tiring vs. Love is Blind]

It's like a studio.

The location is not ideal.

Location?

This includes internet and water.

But there's no public transportation nearby.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- How is it? - I thought it was all right.

It's close. The lighting is great.

It has big French windows.

It's too expensive. We can't afford it.

This building doesn't have an elevator.

Will you carry the groceries up?

I'd never do that.

This is not bad.

You can tell the last tenant cherished the place.

There are two more rooms back there.

Two baths and two bedrooms.

How do you like this apartment?

Can we discuss this for a bit?

- Okay, I'll wait over there. - Thank you.

What do you think?

Miss...

This is the 25th apartment we've looked at.

I'll become a real estate agent if we keep looking.

But you need to look at more places when you're renting.

So you won't regret it later.

You're right.

I'm going to talk to my honey.

Hello?

Did I bother you? We're here to look at the apartment.

It's okay.

It's very nice here.

Great to meet you.

I'll excuse myself now.

Who were you talking to?

- We'll take this one. - Are you crazy?

I need to think about this.

There's no need for that. We'll take this one.

So the two of you aren't interested in each other at all.

But you want to start a family together?

Family?

I don't think we're a family.

You two look like family to me.

We can't be a family unless we're married.

Then have you considered getting married?

No!

Marriage is not my priority right now.

Come inside. Let's chat.

Be careful.

How would you put this?

I think friendship is between two people.

Living together is between two people.

But marriage is between two families.

Don't you think that'd be weird?

You are right.

Also, in this day and age...

can a marriage really guarantee your happiness?

If getting married means having someone with you when you're old

I'll get married.

But if you're only getting married to start a family

then I think it's more important to educate the kid than to get married.

You're right. I agree.

So would you and your roommate agree to an interview with Joyous?

Why?

It's not a bad idea. You fit the Joyous style.

A new lifestyle, a new family, and a new relationship structure.

I can't possibly let go of such a great topic.

Am I right?

I think you guys would be great.

Oh my...

Joyce just established her studio. She's working on her masterpiece.

Will you help her out?

Okay.

Just like that?

Yeah.

I didn't do anything wrong. I can go if I want to.

Then it's a deal.

- In fact... - What is it?

What's going on?

Mr. Xu!

Are you a man or not?

What are you thinking?

I was wondering... If we agree to have babies down the road...

have you considered when you want to have them?

Are you calling me old?

- Not at all! - You are!

I don't mean that...

But we agreed to plan ahead.

Okay, then.

Let's plan now.

So you really want a baby.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

If you want a baby, how can you not know what I am doing?

- Please stop... - Please stop?

If I don't do this, how can we have a baby?

We can use a more scientific method!

I almost fell down!

What scientific way are you speaking of?

You're so different now. Put me down.

- What's the scientific way? - Sit down now.

Our only option is to go abroad and have a baby there.

Are you talking about a test tube baby?

Why can't we just do that in Taiwan?

I looked it up.

You can only do it in Taiwan if you're a married couple.

So you can accidentally get knocked up in Taiwan...

you can have a kid without getting married...

but if you are single, you can't have babies?

What's wrong with being single?

What happened to Mom?

She's in a good mood.

Look, she made a huge breakfast with all normal ingredients.

What's wrong with you?

- Not much... - Not much?

You're my younger brother.

What's wrong?

I'm just worried about what to wear when I see her...

Who are you seeing?

That girl online...

How can you be worried?

Just be yourself.

Just wear what you usually wear.

You mean like this?

You can tidy up a little. But just be yourself.

You know.

But... what if she doesn't like it?

If she doesn't like it, it means she doesn't like who you really are.

Then you should just move on.

You should hope that she'll like you for who you are.

Do you know what I mean?

Just be yourself.

Okay, then.

I made breakfast.

Make sure to have some.

Don't starve yourselves.

Mom...

Why are you so dressed up?

It's my first day attending the class!

I want to leave a positive impression on my teacher and classmates.

What? I am just trying to be polite!

I will leave now!

- Bye bye. - Bye bye!

Bye.

I heard the wine class teacher is handsome.

How do you know?

I heard Mom on the phone yesterday.

That's why she's so "polite" today.

Honestly... to be honest...

my dream is really ordinary.

It's just like everyone else's dream.

I just want a partner.

I want my own family.

I want a child.

It's just that... I started a bit differently than others.

I'm a little farther from the goal.

My road is windier.

So I'll have to take another road to reach my goal.

But if I do reach my goal...

I think I'll be just as happy as everyone else.

That was too much!

I don't want to sit with you. You're too much.

You're not in the frame. Move over a bit.

Just focus on me, then!

They're so sweet.

I really need to thank Da Fa.

Most people might think I'm a weirdo.

But she never sees me like that.

She's very accepting of all of my strange orders.

She... happily accepts me for who I am.

So I actually feel very happy.

What? Stop that! We're doing an interview!

But of course we argue at times.

Sometimes we get mad at each other.

But I think that's all just a process.

So we can slowly understand what we really want.

What we dislike...

Hello?

Are you busy?

It's all right.

What's wrong?

Do you have time for a movie tonight?

What movies are in theaters now?

Do you remember the theater we went to for our first movie?

Huh?

I'll see you tonight. Bye.

Where is it?

What a strange place.
