Mr. Right
Episode 1
I turned to the pool.
There I saw a man harassing a drunken woman.
Yes. Yes, that's it him.
Yes.
What are you talking about? Can you speak in English, please?
Okay, Sir. You are being arrested for sexual harassment.
We need to bring you to a police station.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! What did you say?
Sexual harassment?
Are you kidding me?
You're the one who said it?
Say, Miss, are you Chinese?
Did you really see it clearly and you dare to say that I am sexually harassing?
Do you know what it means of it's hard to see the forest through the trees and making irresponsible remarks? You didn't try to clarify things first and you are already slandering me?
Brother, I am Chinese but are you?
Do you know what self-respect is and a sense of propriety?
Let me tell you, I saw the whole process.
I only believe what I see!
You are an embarrassment to us Chinese! You scoundrel!
For this incident, the real story should have been like this.
In this world, other than our teeth, another thing that one can't extricate himself from
is love.
I am Cheng Hao.
I have two very different jobs.
An outstanding dentist and a love consultant.
Before, horse carriages were very slow. Written letters were very slow.
One lifetime is only enough to love one person.
Now, we have planes and bullet trains who can have 3 trips in a day.
WeChat and emails that can reply in lightning speed.
Loving one person at a time is called loyalty.
You can call me an old driver
or a love expert.
With me, no matter how impossible it is for 2 people to end up together,
they would be able to meet love at the turn of a corner.
People say that all roads lead to Rome.
But there are people who were already born in Rome.
My name is Luo Yue.
I am the lobby manager of a 5-star hotel...
just a candidate for it.
Five years ago, I came to Belgium by myself.
I have a Chinese face,
and speak a very not fluent Chinglish.
If you want to assimilate into a different nation, a different culture,
you must pay a price.
Before, horse carriages were very slow. Written letters were very slow.
Traveling far to the other side of the ocean is to bring honor to your ancestors.
Now, such ads have fallen.
Those that got crushed to death are the people coming back from abroad.
No matter how hard I work and study, no matter how substantial my life is,
in the eyes of my parents and relatives,
I am just an unmarried
- crazy woman. - Tell him not to make rash moves.
Just wait for me, okay?
People say you need fate when it comes to love.
But not all fate is given by heaven.
There is still one called...
destiny making a fool out of you and you are unable to escape it.
May 16, 2017.
Today, I am about to attend the 18th wedding in my life.
Today is a very important examination date in my whole life.
I am about to enjoy the most wonderful part of my career.
But...
it got destroyed by a bad mannered
fellow Chinese citizen.
Cheng Hao.
Damn, why did you just come? The wedding ceremony has ended.
What are you panicking about? You're the groom, not me. Nothing will get delayed even if I come late.
Hurry, let's go. The party has started.
I kept delaying it and won't let it start just for you.
What's wrong with you? Cheng Hao, what time is it already? How come you arrived just now?
- It's not late. Not late at all. - We'll go there for now. - Go there first.
- Who is that? - Introduce me.
- When will you introduce me to him? - If I don't come, aren't you two going to marry?
You want some rewards with your achievement?
I know. Without you, I won't be able to get married. I surely will not treat you unfairly.
Go now.
Everyone, good afternoon!
I am the best friend of our groom, Wang Ning.
First, welcome everyone who has traveled far
to join the wedding of my best buddy.
Actually, I have always not understood
why there are so many people who are brave enough to walk into a marriage.
Until one day,
Wang Ning called me to say that he is going to propose marriage.
At that time, I was correcting patient's teeth at my comfortable clinic.
When I was about to put the braces on to my patient, I suddenly understood.
A man and a woman is like your upper and lower teeth.
Although they are destined to co-exist, it might not be that harmonious.
While a marriage
is like this corrective device.
Although it looks like you are putting binds to both parties and they even have to experience some pain during the process,
the two of them surely will perfectly align together.
Just like Wang Ning and Shan Shan.
They were willing to go through the pain and give vows to each other.
I really admire them from the bottom of my heart.
But I believe that a lot of people will be able to do it, just like the two of them.
That's why, let us all wish them happiness. I also wish that everyone here
can put on their braces soon.
You really are something.
I finally got married off!
I'm very sorry.
Mr. Wang,
I really do apologize that your two bottles of champagne got carelessly destroyed by one of our employees.
I'm sorry.
This is my fault.
Now, Mr. Wang, here at the Scitech Hotel, we have decided to
compensate you with two of our very finest red wines from our personal reserves for your pink liquor that was destroyed.
We will also compensate you for those two bottles of champagne that were destroyed.
We hope you will be amenable to this arrangement.
You are Chinese?
Yes.
- So sorry, Mr. Wang. It's all my fault. - Sorry.
It was me who didn't handle your wines properly.
It's fine. Today is a happy day for me.
Moreover, a Chinese will not make things difficult for his fellowman.
Just do as he suggested.
- Thank you, Mr. Wang. - Thank you, Mr. Wang.
Thank you very much.
Anastasia, come take these two bottles of wine here to Mr. Wang's room.
Be quick about it. Go. Faster.
Look, Lorie, I'm planning on next week making the announcement that you are going to be our new lobby manager.
But from here on out, no more blunders. No more mistakes. Understand?
Okay. I'm willing to take the responsibility for that.
For these two bottles of wines, I'm going to make the hotel compensate Mr. Wang.
But with that gold foil wine that you destroyed,
you're going have to compensate Mr. Wang out of your own pocket.
Okay.
Lorie...
I don't know how to say this.
Look.
You're Chinese, okay?
So, deciding to make you the new lobby manager was not the easiest decision I have to make.
Don't let me down.
Go. Get back to work. Go.
Completed.
The deal is done, but the affection stays.
When we return to the country, let us officially disband.
No way, Cheng Hao.
You said it so sincerely on stage earlier.
You really are able to just turn around and act like you don't know me?
What I said on stage earlier was the last part of my service.
You're not into me, right?
Let me tell you. This much money is not enough to buy me.
Cheng Hao, we've known each other for just half a year.
But I already saw right through you.
You, Cheng Hao, are not a person that sees money as a your master.
I know. All is just business.
You kept using money to say matters, always keeping the line between you and your customers very clear.
You actually are afraid to care.
You are overthinking.
I really don't have that much heart to care for things. Really.
Fine. Just to celebrate us two officially disbanding,
let us have a good time.
Sure.
How about it? Another business done.
How come I just can't be happy?
Very natural.
You always become very depressed after you finish a deal.
That's righ, too.
I am mighty of iron and sturdy, but my brother just comes and goes like water. Is that right?
Why do you talk like that?
I am a very sturdy brother.
Even flood won't be able to flush me away.
That's right. Even a tsunami won't be able to wash you away.
Come! Come!
- Hi. - Cheers.
Oh, right. Brother Hao.
Brother Hao, what is that name of that person of yours?
Zhang Mingyang,
- you are so shameless. - Why?
You are older by three years from me yet you kept calling me Brother Hao.
Aren't these wrinkles of yours too stretched?
Hateful. You're not allowed to expose me.
I am smelling two pretty ladies by the poolside and both are 90's babies. The generation gap cannot be too huge.
Get lost.
Oh, right, on a serious note,
do you know what people like you who have two kinds of career are called?
There is a very common term called "slash."
What does it mean?
Let me give you an example. Your official job is an expert dentist. Covert job
- is a matchmaker. - What matchmaker?
- What I am is a love consultant. - Okay. Okay.
No matter what it is,
because there are more and more people like you who are unsatisfied with having just one job,
you start to have multiple jobs.
That's why, your title
must have a lot of "slash" to express them.
Slash?
