WOMEN IN TAIPEI

I love him very much...

so it's impossible for me to ignore you.

If you don't love him anymore,
could you divorce each other?

I thought the outside world
is bigger and I can live carefree.

Later, I realized...

not everyone can enjoy
being footloose and fancy-free,

including me.

EPISODE 5

THE ROMANTIC BLOODSHED
IN REN'AI ROUNDABOUT

In order to relieve my stress,

I go to the gym every day.

We mainly want to promote
natural ingredients,

so we've magnified the petal element

the manufacturer
provided on the packaging.

- The design draft will be ready on Friday.
- Friday?

Friday won't do.

I'm meeting the manufacturer next Tuesday.

The design draft has to be ready earlier
or we'll have no time to revise it.

I can tell them to submit it
by Thursday COB.

I can't do Thursday evening.

Wednesday...
have them submit it by Wednesday, okay?

- Okay, I'll try my best.
- Okay.

WHEN ARE WE HAVING DINNER TOGETHER?

And since we're emphasizing...

You've posted a lot of pictures
of you working out lately.

It's yoga.
I do it once a week now.

- Mm.
- Oh.

I've been doing the singing bowl now.

- It's so relaxing that I'd fall asleep.
- What's that?

Come join me next time.

I'm addicted to weight training.
Look, can you feel it?

Wow, it's really hard.

So you're going for that trend now?

It used to be impossible to get you
to work out.

I'd gain weight
if I don't work out after turning 30.

No one would want me. Hmm.

Are there some hot guys at the gym?
That's why you train every day.

- Not at all.
- Excuse me.

- Is this you?
- Uh...

That's me.

Hi, Ms. I-Shan.

I'm I-Ching's boyfriend, Glow.

Oh...

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I'm Hui-Ju.
- Ms. Hui-Ju.

- Don't call me Ms.
- Okay.

- She's my good friend.
- Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, Lin I-Ching, she...

She might be late.
She told me to come say hi to you first.

Ah...

I used to be an esports pro player,
like I-Ching.

Now, I work as a pro commentator.

- Commentator?
- What's a commentator?

You guys are here too early.
You're excluding me?

It's like the commentator
in baseball games.

- It took you long enough.
- I commentate on esports games.

Uh... My sister's boyfriend.

Oh. Hi.

- Hi, I'm Glow.
- Hi.

Hank.

- Hi.
- What?

Have a seat.

Since when were you called Hank?

Oh. This is my girlfriend, Hsiao-Ping.

- These are my high school best friends.
- Tainan Gang.

I'm I-Shan.

- Hui-Ju.
- Hsiao-Ping.

- Glow.
- Hi.

Hi.

Have you ordered yet? I'm starving.

- How dare you! We've been waiting for you.
- You're just here too early.

Yeah right.

Hi, I-Ching.
Are you there?

- Yeah, I'm here.
- I'm starving.

- Send me the menu so I can order first.
- Sure.

- I'll take a picture and send it to you.
- Okay.

What are you having?

Hmm... How about the salad? I'm on a diet.

You're so skinny,
why would you need to diet?

You want to lose weight?
Try jogging and weight training at a gym.

Why jogging?

It's 70 percent about food
and 30 percent about working out.

Just order a main course
and skip the starch.

Okay, let me have another look.

I-Ching wants risotto
with pistachio-crusted salmon

and parmesan cheese. And I'll have

the risotto with zucchini and sausage
and smoked scamorza cheese.

Thank you.

- All right.
- Mm.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Get back safe.

I ate too much.

Let's take a walk.

Oh, no. I need to go back
and have a glass of energy smoothie.

I drink it every morning

and massage myself like this.
Gosh, it feels so relieving.

I've heard my coworker mention it before.
Isn't it just mixed juice?

Right, but there's a specific proportion.
I'll send you the recipe next time.

Aerobic exercise, weight training,
yoga, and diet are all important.

Combining them all
is the key to good health.

And also sleeping. Ahh.

I'll buy you a singing bowl.
It really works.

- You mean "don don don chiang."
- No, the singing bowl is like...

Yeah, right.

Just when you're about to
fall asleep, it goes...

Changing the formula of the petal series?
Impossible.

The manufacturer wouldn't agree to that.

I said it's impossible.

We're the agent, not the manufacturer.

You're not making any sense at all.

Sandy, the petal series won't hit
the shelves for another two months.

It's taking too long.

Our sales this year are counting on it.
Can we make it next month?

You mean in the middle
or at the end of next month?

It's two days until next month.

Take a look at the numbers
from the last quarter.

Your priority now
is to bring the numbers up.

The last quarter is due to other brands...

I think, the first problem you need
to solve is don't take another two months.

Kelly, can I have some time
to think it over?

Yeah, shifted it to an earlier date
just like that.

What am I, a robot?
I don't have to sleep or eat?

I need to be on call 24/7.

I'm going to lose my mind
if this carries on.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm not trying to lecture you,
I'm just reminding you,

you'll get hurt easily by doing that.

So...

With your chest...

and your shoulder.

- Like this?
- That's right.

Your emotions would reflect on your body.

By training your body properly,

you can then utilize it
to control your emotions.

Oh...

One more.

Ah. Here.

Hold this position.

Now squeeze your face.

Mm. Like this?

- Yes.
- And then?

- That's it.
- What for?

I thought you were pretty stressed
at work.

- Okay, I'll try it again.
- Okay.

Like this?

Feeling better?

I haven't been able to drink and chill
like this for a while.

- Are you busy at work?
- Mm-hmm.

It's pretty exhausting.

It's important
to blow off steam from time to time.

My office is near the gym.

What about you?

Looks like all I know about you
is your name.

I don't suppose that's a fake name?

Show me your ID.

I'm Ho Chien-Huan.

Chien means health
and Huan means for entirety.

But I can't show you my ID.

Why not?

Because I'm married.

My wife's name is on it.

You're kidding, right?

I've been married for five years.

Me and my wife have always been
in an open relationship.

Open relationship?

Yeah, despite being married
to each other...

we can still have our own friends
or lovers.

Of course, if I'm just trying to have
a one-night stand with you,

I don't need to explain that to you.

I tend to disclose everything plainly.

Here, I said to increase the gap
in between, right?

- Move this up here.
- Mm.

The rest...

is fine.

Make the adjustments and send it to me.
I'll run it by the other divisions again.

But once they've reviewed it,
we'd have to revise it again.

And you'll get it earlier,

so you'll have more time to revise it,
right?

All right, it's eight o'clock already.
Get on it.

CHIEN-HUAN CALLING

Get it done, I'll check it later.

- I'll be at the gym.
- Don't you always work out in the morning?

I rescheduled it to this evening.

I mean, I told you
I'd join you on off-days,

but you had to drag me here today.

I can smell the alcohol
in my sweat.

Oops!

You've been drinking a lot.
See how you've tripped and hurt yourself.

Since when did you
enjoy working out so much?

All right, just tell me.
Where are the hot guys?

There are no hot guys here.

Lin I-Shan.

Tell me honestly.

You keep looking around.

- Who are you looking for?
- I'm not looking around.

- You sure did.
- Not at all.

Yes, I know,
but the time is a bit tight so...

I hope we can confirm it
as soon as possible.

I know, I know...

we really want to help you,
but she won't be back until next month.

You gotta be kidding me.
I don't have one month.

Is there any way
that you can reach her?

I know you're stressed out
and trust me,

I really wanna contact her for you,
but it's not gonna work.

Okay, um...

Now is 5:30 in the morning in Taipei time.

I will discuss with my boss
around noon, okay?

Yeah, really sorry about this.
I hope it works out.

Thank you.

It's too rushed,
we just can't do it.

You do realize that delaying it a month
means there'll be no sales

and you won't be able
to hit your sales quota this year?

I know, but there's just not enough time.

Instead of going back and forth
with me here...

why don't you use the time
to come up with a feasible plan?

Okay?

I'm okay. But I also want to let you know

it's not like I can make the manufacturer
go any faster.

Keep me posted. I've got another meeting.

She's always like this,
is she going through the menopause?

Gosh!
How unhappy is she at home?

- Why would she be so mean and sassy here?
- Probably needs her medication.

ALMOST OFF WORK. LET'S GO HAVE A DRINK.

- How would I know?
- It's so annoying.

- Every boss is the same.
- What should we do, Ms. Sandy?

- Yeah.
- Well...

Let's work together,
see if we can make it before COB.

Sandy, before COB?

It's beautiful.

I bet you didn't know
there was such a place, right?

Yeah.

Finally, a place to check out
the night scene of Taipei.

But you have to drive to get here.

I want to learn how to drive.

I'll give you a ride next time.

I'll have to teach you first.

I have no idea how to drive.

I've never even sat
in the driver's seat before.

No problem.

You can practice in my car.

AN-HO CALLING

Hello.

- Will you be home today?
- Not today, why?

The garage called.

My car won't be done tomorrow morning,
but I need the car in the afternoon.

Sure, you can have my car
tomorrow afternoon.

- Okay then, see you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow, bye.

- Is that your wife?
- Yeah.

You won't check on
each other's schedule?

Would your good friend
check on your schedule every day?

It's beautiful here.

It's my first time here.

Hello.

- Checking in?
- Yes.

Your ID, please.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Okay, here's your ID. Thank you.

Sir, here's your key and the room number.
Have a nice stay.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

Just enjoying the hot spring...

and you.

Do you think about the future?

No.

Life is short.

Just seize the day.

Celebrate my birthday with me.

Birthday? Sure.

- When is it?
- Mid-Autumn Festival.

Don't you need to be with your family
during the festival?

I want you to spend it with me.

I know, it's just that

my family will gather
for the festival as they always do.

I can't be absent.

Just your family?

It's family.

Look, he gave
the wrong delivery date

for the packaging materials.

I told you we need it by next week.

They're our regular suppliers.
Don't worry, they'll make it.

That's not the issue here!
It's about the delivery time.

ARE YOU GOING TO THE GYM TODAY?

They'll make it in time.

We've collaborated for so long.

If they fail to deliver,
how are we going to ship the products?

I've worked with the vendor
for such a long time,

they would cope with our schedule.

- What if they couldn't?
- I don't think so.

I'VE GOT A MEETING TODAY.
PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

No, you did the same thing
last time.

Why have you done it again?

I can't help it.
It's the cheapest I can find.

We can only afford

- the cheapest supplier.
- What do you mean?

Why are you here?

I got off the meeting early.
I called you but you didn't pick up.

I figured you might still be here,
so I rushed over.

I can't be with you during the festival...

so I got you an early birthday present.

- I'll open it.
- Go ahead.

It's a beautiful color.

You like it?

I do. Now I'll know
if I've done enough exercise.

- I'll put it on for you.
- Sure.

Give me a second.

ENJOY YOUR BIRTHDAY
WITH YOUR FAMILY.

I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU
WHEN YOU GET BACK.

WE'LL GO WHEREVER YOU WANT.

Here, have some tea.

- Thank you.
- Here, try this.

Okay.

Would you like to try some, sir?

- I'm fine. You can have it.
- I've eaten a lot.

Hey.

Here's some more vegetables.

You're getting skinnier.
Have you been eating well?

Make sure to eat properly.

This is done. Here.

I worked really hard to stay skinny.

Look how pretentious Taipei people are.

Spending money on doing exercise.

Why don't you just run around the track?

Running is aerobic exercise.
I need weight training to build muscles.

Have some shrimps.

You wouldn't get
what I'm saying.

Yeah right, I don't get anything
that you're saying.

Do you ever listen to anything I say? Huh?

Your sister comes home
with a boyfriend. What about you?

Have you met anyone?
If so, just bring him home to meet us.

I'm busy at work.

You're 30 now.

You don't want to settle down yet?

I keep wondering...

why nobody goes after my pretty daughter.

Or maybe there are
no nice guys in Taipei anymore.

The nice guys in Taipei are all extinct.

I wouldn't settle for the rest.

You're just getting above yourself.

How'd you know if you don't give it a try?

- Mom.
- Hmm?

I'm thirsty.

There's juice and soda.

- Mom, you must be thirsty.
- How did you know?

You brought this Glow home.
I really like him...

but he can't speak Taiwanese.

That's not a big deal.

Here, sit over here.

Tell me,

does your sister
have a boyfriend in Taipei?

Stop asking me that.

See, now that you've asked,
she's nowhere to be seen.

She's not here. Tell me and keep it down,
I won't say it's you.

Oh?

Mom will still find you tomorrow
even if you hide under this table.

I have a boyfriend.

He has a successful career.

He's gentle and mature.

And he's awesome in bed.

But he has a wife.

Gosh!

He said they're in an open relationship.

Am I out of my mind?

I mean, an open relationship...

The point is, do you really love him?

The point is...

I want him to be mine so bad.

I'm jealous of his wife.

Does that mean I really love him?

That's enough.

What are you doing?

Are you all right?

- What's wrong?
- Mom, it's fine.

It's fine. I got this. She drank too much.

- She's throwing up, right?
- Yeah.

- I'll look after her.
- How much did she drink?

Why did you drink so much?

Perhaps he has an old and ugly wife
and he just married her for the money.

Who did what for the money?

Nothing, Mom.
It's nothing, just go to bed.

She puked all over.
I'll get her some clean clothes.

KUO AN-HO

HEARTY WOODS THERAPEUTIC JOURNEY

CHANG YA-CHING, KUO AN-HO, HSU HUI-LIN

YOGA, SINGING BOWL, AROMATHERAPY

SINGING BOWL, KUO AN-HO

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Hui-Ju.

You've joined a singing bowl session
before, right?

Yeah. Did you find
the singing bowl I gave you useful?

It's great.

I want to join the session
in Hearty Woods in Jinguashi.

That's very expensive.
Are you serious?

I'm serious.

I saw the registration is closed.
You know any other way to get me in?

Sure,
let me check with my instructor.

- When do you want to go?
- Tomorrow is the last day.

- Tomorrow?
- Yeah.

I thought you were still
in Tainan?

It's only a few hours from Tainan
to Taipei.

You said you were staying
for the holidays.

- Why are you leaving after two days?
- Something urgent came up at the office.

- What a company!
- Pastries from Cheng-En's bakery.

For your coworkers.
I waited in a long line for it.

Why did you queue for it?

Put the braised pork in the fridge.
Eat the fruits first before they go bad.

- Here.
- Why would I eat the fruits first?

- They're not pomelos.
- Or maybe take the apples.

No, it's fine.

You're 30 now, be sensible
and take care of your health. Got it?

If you have a boyfriend,

bring him home to meet us.

Mom, I'm 29.

Referring to yourself as 29 is bad luck.
Make it 30.

- Or you'll become an old hag, got it?
- Our ride is here, see you.

- Thank you, Glow.
- Bye, Mom.

Thanks for the ride.

It's fine.
We're going the same way.

We'll drop by some local food
on our way back.

Take him to some traditional
Tainan street food places.

She says the food in Tainan tastes better.
I'll be the judge of that.

Sure.

Shrimp rice, milkfish, beef soup.
You must try them all.

That's too much, don't make me!
I'll get too full.

Too full?

We're making it worth your while.
Don't complain.

Try them all but save some appetite
for dinner later.

Okay.

- You're too skinny. Eat more, okay?
- Okay.

- Cut down on alcohol.
- Goodbye.

Bye.

Take care. Drive safe.

She won't tell us what happened.

Find your most comfortable position.

Gently close your eyes.

Breathe in.

Inhale the serenity.

Breathe out.

Relax your shoulders.

- Bye, instructor.
- Bye.

Are you going back to Taipei?
I can give you a ride.

I still have several days of sessions.
I'll sleep in the studio.

- See you next week.
- Sure, don't get too overwhelmed.

And eat properly.

You're getting skinnier.

- All right, I gotta go.
- Go ahead, I'm waiting for a friend.

Mm.

- See you at home then.
- See you at home.

- Rest well.
- Okay.

The floral series

is our best-selling product.

Sandy, these numbers do not add up.
This obviously doesn't make sense.

What do you mean?

These numbers are very accurate
based on the research report.

If you don't think
the petal series has the potential,

find another plan
instead of wasting my time.

Don't be so judgmental, come on.

Jesus!
Just give me the results I want.

- Bye.
- Bye-bye.

HOW'S YOUR DAY?

WANNA MEET?

DON'T WORK TOO HARD.
REMEMBER TO EAT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ASK
WHY I WAS THERE THE OTHER DAY?

You're not ready
for that kind of weight.

- How do you know I can't do it?
- You'll get hurt.

Would you care if I got hurt?

I would.

How'd you know I can't do it
without me trying?

Maybe I'll get used to it.

I'll adapt to it and enjoy it.

I'm sorry.

I went to your wife.

It's understandable that you're curious.

It's not a big deal.

Sorry, I stepped over the line.

There's no line between us.

I'm being very honest with you.

I like you so much, Lin I-Shan.

I really do.

Do you love me then?

The petal series
will hit the market next month.

Okay, Sandy,
could you please brief everyone

on this year's expected market share,
annual plan,

as well as strategies
for the next five years.

Sandy.

Sandy, can you hear me, Sandy?

Oh. Um...
Excuse me, could you repeat that?

Sure.
Could you please brief everyone

on this year's expected market share,
annual plan,

as well as strategies for
the next five years,

if it's not too much trouble?

Of course not, let me have a look. Um...

INCORRECT PIN ENTERED

It's nothing.

I'm here.

Get some sleep.

Hi, I'm Lin I-Shan.

I'm Chien-Huan's...

Hi.

Mrs. Ho.

Hi, Ms. Kuo.

I'm Lin I-Shan.

I'm Chien-Huan's girlfriend.

- How may I help you?
- Uh...

I'm looking for Ms. Kuo.

Oh... One moment please.

An-Ho.

- Huh?
- It's for you.

- I'll go get it open first.
- Sure.

Hi, I'm Lin I-Shan.
I'm Chien-Huan's girlfriend.

Hi.

- Would you like to come in?
- No.

I love him very much...

so it's impossible for me to ignore you.

If you don't love him anymore,
can you divorce each other?

If he wants to divorce me...

or maybe...

marry someone else...

I wouldn't stop him.

Perhaps you should be wondering...

why he wouldn't do it.

An-Ho.
Hm?

It's ready.

It turns out that...

I wasn't as cool as I imagined.

I humiliated myself.
