When We Write Love Story (Meet You in a Parallel Universe / Ping Xing Shi Kong Yu Jian Ni / 平行时空遇见你)

Timing and subtitles brought to you by the ❤️ See You In Another World 🌏 team @ Viki

Hypothetically, if this universe really consists of multiple universes,

then have we ever fantasized

what kind of lives we'd be living in other universes?

What kind of people would we bump into?

What kinds of romantic love stories would occur?

Every single person wishes for a blissful romance

Love not only saves us from loneliness, but it also gives us the drive to reach a better future.

How do we broadcast the right values of love

without falling into the romance cliches?

For this show, the program group invited six guests, both male and female

to partner up into three groups of two and become co-writers.

Through experiencing the lives of screenwriters first-hand,

they will search for their views on love within themselves

and present their thoughts to the audience through producing a short drama.

We hope that through the many different love stories that they present,

we will be able to transmit concepts of love that are both sincere and healthy

in order to encourage more people to believe in love, chase it bravely, and express it.

I've always thought that love was like a fairytale.

It's tentative and hard to grasp.

I've always been experiencing passionate love stories through acting in the plays of others.

This time, I want to act out my own romance script.

It only takes an accidental touch to meet someone.

It only takes a gaze to fall in love with someone.

Finding the ideal love story in a parallel universe only requires a script.

Wait for me in the parallel universe.

I didn't expect that I would fulfill my fantasies about in my own script.

I hope that the love stories in here

don't come too early or too late.

I want to tell the female protagonist in the story

that if time could rewind, and scripts could be rewritten,

I would want to be your male lead.

I have always known that hills are stories of water,

and winds are the stories of clouds,

but now I really want to know what story is in here.

I've always felt that the true form of love

is neither perfect nor absolute.

Instead, it is about accepting your own imperfections as well as embracing the imperfections of the other.

It is never about being too demanding to the self or to criticize the other.

I hope that an imperfect, perfect man is waiting inside here.

From December to February, remember to arrive at Viki every week in order to

show support for your favorite couple on When We Write Love Story!

Be sure to stay tuned!

Look out for the easter eggs at the end of each week's episode!

Goodness. It's so pink.

Hello, Sister Qin Lan! - Hello! (T/N: People in China call each other "Brother" and "Sister" even without real blood relations or familiarity with each other.)

I'm here! - Sister Qin Lan!

Hello!

Oh my goodness! Is this a party or what?

Hello!

Sister Yang Chaoyue.

Doesn't this bus look quite pretty?

It's quite impressive. - Isn't it?

Hello. - Hi.

Hello, Sister Qin Lan!

Hello, Sister Yitong. - Hi, Sister Chaoyue.

Why did you two decide to join this show?

When I heard about this show, they said we could film short video clips.

Film and television style clips.

Because you can be both

director and script-writer. Also, you get to act it yourself.

It's because filming a drama takes to long. You need to wait half a year before being able to see it.

This is faster, yes.

I'm different though.

I realized that when I was younger, I kept playing mothers.

Back in my twenties, I played all kinds of mother characters! - When you were twenty?

Yes! I've never gotten any dramas about just purely falling in love.

I think it's a good opportunity for me, and I was glad that they reached out to me. I was so thrilled.

I also really want to design some very

fantastical elements because they don't really approach me for these kinds of dramas.

I see, so you like this kind of drama? - Yes.

I like the more down-to-earth ones.

I want to do some campus love stories.

Since I've never really had a college life,

I really want to experience it.

Campus love story? - Yes.

That actually sounds quite nice.

Wow!

Have the guests come?

My goodness! - This is...

He's coming. - Who is that?

Isn't this my old friend?

Brother Ming Dao! - Brother Ming Dao!

Brother Ming Dao!

Hello, my name is Ming Dao.

I'm Li Yitong. - Nice to meet you.

Chaoyue. - We all know you, and we've all seen your works!

You started watching me as a child?

Yes, the one about the prince turning into a frog!

The icon of "domineering CEO".

Then if it was me,

which one of you would fight for me?

Must we fight?

Of course you must. I can only be partners with one of you.

See? This is the "thanks, but no thanks" smile.

Right, Chaoyue?

I'm very sorry. Please see yourself out.

Goodbye!

Are none of you going to fight for me?

If you are to make an idol drama— - What style do you like? - Yes.

Right now, I think the best scene that I can think of

is in weather like this, but raining.

I dislike filming rain scenes!

It's gonna mess up with my hairstyle! I'll look ugly!

Don't think about such things!

It's a friendly drizzle. It's not the type you see in dramas that pour like crazy.

No, just a little drizzle.

That's somewhat nice.

Also, there will be a phone booth because you want to hide from the rain.

Then, when you're in, you find out that someone is already in there.

You can't find phone booths anymore nowadays!

Can two people fit in one phone booth?

Why can't you relate to it?

But no one uses phone booths anymore!

Try something more contemporary.

Bus stop!

That's fine. A bus stop works, too.

Bus stop it is.

Two elderly people squeezed the two of you together.

You're both a little bit wet.

And sticky! - Sticky?

Sticky? - When it's too crowded, there will also be...

smells! - smells!

It gets too hot, and then it becomes easy to get sticky.

Okay. Snow, then!

Two elderly people squeezed the two of you together.

You had some snowflakes on you, so he smoothed them away.

Why would he help me smooth away the snowflakes?

It's not like they know each other. It's a first meeting. - Exactly!

I don't want to talk to you!

It's over! He couldn't continue!

I'm so pissed off!

Actually I'm the ferryman of the parallel universe, right?

You're here to participate in "When We Write Love Story".

You will all be able to become partners with one of the male guests in order to create three groups of two.

You will be creative partners in writing and write a romantic drama that belongs to you.

You already know we have three men, right?

Yanlin, Minghao, and Liu Yihao.

Now I'd like to introduce my partner.

Since I can't just sit here and watch you all pair up, I need a partner as well.

Otherwise I'd be too pitiful, right?

Let's give a round of applause to my partner, Yijin.

Welcome, Yijin! - Hello, hello.

Hello, sisters. - Hi. - Hello.

Hello, hello, hello.

Hello everyone. It's great to see everyone.

Okay, now we are all here.

We're leaving!

Our three female guests will soon embark on romantic journeys prepared by the male guests.

First, they will study the three clues presented by the MCs

and see if the male guests share similar creative ideas. Then, they will make a choice.

This will be the first time they get to experience a partner selection for their romantic meet-up.

I'm so excited! - Okay, let's take a look at the first clue!

Little prince speaker!

Speaker.

Also, they prepared something else inside of it.

The speaker itself is not the important part.

What does this mean?

I think he can play guitar.

He seems like a carefree person.

After seeing this, do any images pop up in your head? - Any imagination? - Afternoon tea!

I see a table with lots of delicious food, and he's next to me, playing the guitar.

Lan'er, what image do you have in your mind?

It feels like a natural environment. For example, it could be in the trees or outdoors. Very comfortable.

Sunlight... - Taking a walk. - Yes.

Good. Yijin, show them the second one.

I think you're going to like this one a lot.

Do you know what kind of flower this is? - No.

They're daisies. - Daisies.

I'd like it better if it was a bracelet.

If it was a bracelet, it gives off the feeling of a bridesmaid entering the venue.

Yitong, are you interested in this?

No? - Not really.

Look how hard it is for a guy to be able to

create romantic surprises for a girl.

My goodness. He may as well have just written his name down.

You can try that. - All right.

Let's open up the third box. The third one is honestly...

I saw this and I was like,

"wait, what on earth?"

What's in here?

Pass them down to each other. - What even is this?

I think this is a person who really likes traveling.

It seems like his handwriting isn't very good.

It's about my level. Look at his handwriting.

"Nice to meet you". - "Nice to meet you".

I think he's one of those careless boys.

I was wondering what was in here.
