[mom in Chinese] …which can remove all suffering

for it is authentic.

Know that Prajnaparamita is the great transcendent mantra,

proclaim the mantra that says

[in other language] Go. Go to the…

[in Chinese] Chanting at 5:00 a.m.?

[tense music plays]

It's scarier than a horror movie.

[snoring]

At least once a week,

I think about divorcing him…

[Zeng grunts]

…and beating him to death 100 times.

[tense music plays]

-[snoring loudly] -[water dripping]

[strains]

It's from a new fried chicken shop on 139th Lane. Try it.

We'll get more if it's tasty.

[Yi-Ling] I don't have a bad life.

It's just the little things keep building up,

like water slowly boiling over,

until it explodes.

[mom] Right? It doesn't taste that bad.

[tense music intensifying]

[music stops]

[door opens, closes]

[cell phone chimes]

[Zeng] Honey. Honey.

[Yi-Ling] Mom.

Thank you for tidying up.

Thank you for cooking every day.

Thank you for giving us a place to stay for free.

Why are you being so polite?

You married into our family.

You're one of us now.

I want to…

Get a divorce.

[tense music plays]

I want to…

I want to move out.

[music stops]

[whimsical music plays]

Coward.

Why didn't I say I want a divorce?

[sighs]

I'm not a coward.

I'm giving my husband one more chance.

MESSAGE FROM YOUR SOULMATE, RAIN.

HI, NICE TO MEET YOU.

Are you looking for a soulmate?

Don't be naive.

There's no such thing.

[theme music playing]

20 M², 15M TWD. 80% FINANCING.

360 INSTALLMENTS. DOWN PAYMENT: 3M TWD.

OUR SAVINGS: 1,978,000 TWD.

[Yi-Ling] Some people say that marriage is either heaven or hell.

STILL SHORT BY 68,000

But it's somewhere in between. That's real life.

[man on screen] First we need to prepare a four-by-four…

Let's visit three places today, starting with this one.

"45 exclusive apartments with genuine hotel management."

Move in with just a suitcase"?

It's not like regular hotel management.

They partner with a hotel.

You can have a five-star chef come over.

There're even free buffets on holidays.

[pleasant orchestral music plays]

Elite people.

Honorable service.

Sky garden

and sky fitness.

Coming home feels like a vacation.

Premium living starts here.

But isn't the property management fee very high?

The shared areas are huge.

Could this…

Could this be a bad deal?

Right.

Don't bite off more than you can chew.

This one then.

"Mozart's Sunshine House."

[pleasant music plays]

Mozart's Sunshine House.

Two bedrooms, and one bathroom.

Small shared areas means low management fees.

New decor.

Cozy living starts here.

Mom said if we buy an old house, don't buy one that's been decorated.

[music stops]

Because if it has issues, you won't even see them.

The renovation cost is added to the price.

Right.

Your mom's right about everything.

Spend your money wisely.

Look.

TWO-STORY HOUSE, 88.8 MILLION TWD, 42 YEARS OLD.

888 stands for good fortune!

Affordable.

Two-story standalone house.

Renovate it to your liking.

Ample street parking.

Land for gardening.

Countryside living begins here.

This seems nice.

It's just two million per square meter and the two floors are huge.

Isn't it?

The second floor is yours, and we don't need to buy a parking space.

And we can grow plants like in the Animal Crossing game.

Yeah, it's fun.

Let's see this one first.

But it…

Isn't it a little far from here?

You see.

It's not far.

It's a 30-minute drive.

But we'd need to buy a car, which means a car loan.

We can buy a used car for around 100,000 TWD.

We'll split the down payment and mortgage.

The total price is low. It's not too stressful, so it's fine.

No, it's not a matter of stress.

This house is over 40 years old.

The plumbing and gas must be redone.

And renovations will be expensive.

I asked my interior design friend.

He said if we keep it simple, we can do it for under a million.

One million…

One million, really?

Okay, so every day we'll have to…

wake up earlier for work.

And there might be traffic jams during the commute.

Is that going to be a waste of time?

[Yi-Ling] Traffic jam my ass.

That's a waste of time? The time you spend playing with Legos is the real waste.

Honey.

Is living at home that bad?

-In fact, Mom said… -[shushes]

What time is it?

Now?

It's 10:40.

In about five minutes,

you mom will enter and ask what we want for lunch.

Actually, there's something I'd like to taste.

But living here, I'm too embarrassed to try it.

[romantic music plays]

Do you think we can sneak a taste

in five minutes?

Four minutes and thirty seconds left.

Mmm.

[mom] Xue-you.

[music stops]

Xue-you.

[knocking]

-What do you want for lunch? -Uh…

Let me think.

[comical music plays]

[Yi-Ling] You-you baby.

Let's go see the house after lunch, okay?

-Let me think. -[knocking]

How about fried rice?

[doorknob rattling]

-[whispers] How about that? -Uh…

Let's go see the house after lunch.

-Xue-you. -How about that?

-Uh… uh… -Baby.

[Zeng Xue-you] Okay.

-[phone beeps] -Wait.

Mom, what's up?

You don't feel well?

You're feeling sick?

-[Yi-Ling chuckles] Oh, please. -Okay, bye.

Mom doesn't feel well. I'm going to take her to the doctor.

[sighs]

You check it out first.

-I'm leaving. -Huh?

Bye.

[Yi-Ling] Damn it.

It's fine.

I can do it myself.

I can do it myself.

What we see here is an apartment complex.

There's a lot of green space nearby.

So, from this view, there's no obstruction.

[man] Honey, what do you think of this place?

[woman] It's a good fit.

[agent] If your husband wants to know more,

feel free to contact us anytime.

-Hello. -Ms. Lin.

Hello.

FOR SALE

[line ringing]

SCHOOL DISTRICT APARTMENT 32.5 MILLION TWD.

[cell phone chimes]

YOUR SOULMATE RAIN JUST MESSAGED YOU.

RAIN: PERHAPS SOULMATES ARE RARE,

BUT STILL, THEY'RE THERE.

Where did this poet come from?

Why do you think people get married?

[cell phone chimes]

RAIN: TO BOND WITH SOMEONE.

Is it a bond, or bondage?

[man] Why is it bondage?

You think being with someone means one plus one equals two.

But it doesn't.

It's one plus one equals one.

Because no matter what you do, eat, drink, poop, pee and sleep,

you adjust to their preferences.

You become half of yourself.

So it's not a bond. It's bondage.

Don't think of it as "adjusting." Think of it as "sharing."

A lot of couples are totally different people.

Compromising all the time

is a pain,

but it's also a way of seeing new perspectives.

It can be fun.

Take eating,

for example.

Food always tastes better

when you share it.

Don't you think?

So you think my partner and I should have opposite personalities?

Beauty and the beast also go well together.

How old are you?

Thirty.

Married?

Not yet. You?

Married.

Do you know why the divorce rate is high?

Because men only try hard before marriage.

After that, they think they scored. Now they can take it easy.

But to women, it's not a sprint.

It's a marathon.

The end is still a long way off.

If you don't even try and I'm the only one running,

why should I stay married?

[pleasant music plays]

I'm sorry.

It sounds like I'm blaming every man in the world.

[man] No offense taken.

It's good to know how you feel.

It's like…

[in English] Before Sunrise.

[in Chinese] You're a real poet.

Do you like movies?

I like hiking and camping as well.

Camping.

I always wanted to go, but never did.

Why?

No one else is interested.

I'm not motivated to go alone.

Well, if we get the chance,

let's go together.

[pleasant music continues]

Just a second.

Did Mom see a doctor?

Mom said after she went home and rested,

she felt better.

Really?

Let's visit these tomorrow.

That…

Which one?

That…

Which one?

Mom…

She…

She…

Well…

Say that again.

Who did you lend money to?

My uncle's eldest daughter.

Who is she?

She's studying her master's in the U.S. Mom says she graduates in a year.

What do I care if she graduates or not?

Don't study abroad if you can't afford it.

Right. But…

But mom lent the money to my uncle.

I'm too embarrassed to ask my uncle to pay me back.

Why are you embarrassed? It's your money.

Also why is your mom managing your money?

It's not like that.

Mom said when my sister was studying, my uncle helped out.

So he helped your sister, not you.

But mom said we help each other in a family.

Also mom said my uncle will pay me back next year.

What if he doesn't?

How much longer do we have to save?

Three years or five years?

Zeng Xue-you.

You said a family helps each other.

So what am I to you?

Before you lent the money, did you discuss it with me?

Aren't we a family?

Honey. Of course we're a family.

Honey.

Hello.

Dad.

To save more money,

I'll cancel all my life insurance and investments.

My dad will lend us money if it isn't enough.

Your dad, really?

How much?

And when do I pay it back?

You don't have to pay.

My dad said it'll be in my name.

I'll tell Mom.

Wait.

Let me tell her.

[comical music plays]

The house in her name?

Is that a good idea?

Then you'd be living at your wife's place.

If someone asks, won't you be embarrassed?

Who is "someone"?

Who would ask?

Who would be embarrassed?

Are you embarrassed?

No, I don't feel like that.

And why is it your wife's place?

So what? Is that embarrassing?

No, Mom…

Mom, she's just conservative.

Is it okay to buy it in your name then?

Is that a good idea?

Would the in-laws think we're taking advantage of them?

It wouldn't sound good if word gets out, would it?

Then we rent.

Renting a place wouldn't be that much of a problem, right?

Renting?

When you rent a place,

you're helping the landlord pay the mortgage.

Is that a good idea?

I think you'd better save up first.

I bought this place by saving up bit by bit.

Housing prices are so high now. Why don't you stay here?

It's for your own good.

Does that sound good?

Right.

She's right.

It's for our own good.

You stay here. I go!

Honey.

No, honey.

Honey.

Honey.

[softly] Honey.

It's late, let's go home.

Go away.

Let's go home.

Go away!

Honey, let's go home.

Honey.

-Honey. -[clangs]

[exhales]

[mouthing]

[cell phones chiming]

It's my fault.

I'm crying.

Sorry.

RENT MOPED

[bike beeps]

[phone beeps]

[song playing]

[Yi-Ling in English] To Rain…

[in Chinese] …if a couple runs together,

but at different speeds,

they won't reach the end together.

They'll just drift apart.
