Original subtitles

Having the Hongniang Star allows you to see the red thread,

so you can matchmake people

This is your destiny

However, you win some, you lose some

You have a supernatural power, so you have to pay the price for it

The price is perpetual loneliness

So if she stops being a matchmaker, she has no price to pay, right?

She's destined to be a matchmaker. You can't avoid that

If you go against destiny, the consequences could be disastrous

How disastrous?

She, or the people around her, will suffer physical harm

If she's in a relationship, it'll end abruptly

If you force it, the one you love will be dogged by bad luck

No wonder your great-aunt never married

I don't want to end up like Great-aunt

I want to get married

(Shujing)

(Something's up)

What do you want to tell me?

Didn't you ask me to find a job for Mimi?

Let me show you Mimi's mukbang video

Today we ate eight kinds of food in 30 minutes

Next time I'll challenge myself to eating even more

So don't forget to give me a "like",

comment and subscribe

I look forward to having you guys eat with me next time

How's that?

Very photogenic

I am amazing

I came up with this great idea

Mimi's strong points are eating and eloquence

With my social media skills,

Mimi can definitely be a popular food blogger

Mimi is lucky to find a job she loves doing

Sis, you'd better watch out

Mimi might become more popular than Lunar, the matchmaker

If I could choose, I wouldn't want to be a matchmaker

The price to pay is too big

You're destined to be a matchmaker, but Bro is destined to get divorced

That's kind of ironic

Destined to get divorced?

He's getting a divorce again?

And you didn't tell me till now? What happened?

Yesterday, Luxin came to Bro with a divorce agreement...

and gave it to him in front of Dad

Bro took it without saying anything

I think they will get a divorce for sure

Dad must be really angry

Of course

As soon as Luxin left, Dad started scolding Bro

And amazingly, Bro talked back to Dad

Dad was so angry that...

How was that possible? No way. Bro never talks back to Dad before

Then what happened in the end?

What else? One went home, and the other, back to his room

Take fortune telling with a pinch of salt. Don't dwell on it

You heard it the other day. Shuyu said she saw the red thread

And Herman broke up with her later

It proved the fortune teller right. He said,

"If she's in a relationship, it'll end abruptly"

Maybe that's just a coincidence

It's inconceivable that she can see the red thread

Don't you agree?

I really hope Shuyu can't see the red thread

Maybe Master Liao made a mistake

She pretended nothing happened on the way home,

but I know she was really upset

That's what Shuyu is like

No matter what happens,

she'd rather keep it to herself than make us worry about her

She always says,

she hopes she and her future spouse will be like us,

"Holding hands and growing old together"

I've always hoped our daughter would be Li Hongniang's successor,

that she'd take over the business and pass it down the generations

If I'd known the price of being a matchmaker is so high,

I'd have closed the shop

It is said that "Destiny comes first, luck is second, and feng shui is third"

Maybe there are other solutions

Don't worry too much

It concerns our daughter's lifelong happiness

Of course I'm worried

Go away. I'm watching my show

Bro, we broke up

That's great. Saves you the headache

But Ryan apologized to me

He even went to the bakery to buy me a cake

And he bought the double-layer strawberry cream cake

He also swore that...

he wouldn't stop me again from doing what I liked

It's like old times

He's so gentle and considerate to me

So you want to take him back?

I don't know. Do you think I should give him a chance?

It's up to you. I don't understand you women

You can't let go after you've broken up

Yang Dingyi, come back -I'm back

Mum

Mummy, shouldn't you be in Taiwan? Why are you back so soon?

I finished my project early, so I came back to rest for a few days

Have you guys had dinner yet?

Yes. I'll be upstairs

Wait a minute, come here

Didn't I tell you guys...

to keep your shoes in the shoe cabinet after you take them off?

And to take your clean laundry back to your room?

You're grown-ups now. I've just got back and I have to lecture you

Especially you

Never mind that you're a girl who can't cook

But at least tidy your own place up

Look how messy it is. Why would any guy want to marry you?

Yeah, she should at least know how to do one of those tasks

No biggie. I'll have a sister-in-law to help me

She looks very capable. And she can make cakes

You're seeing someone?

Nah, don't listen to her

You're a grown-up. You're still shy talking about this?

What does she do? Where did you meet her?

I really don't have a girlfriend

You should console Yichun. She just went through a breakup

You broke up again?

Tony is polite and caring. Why did you guys break up again?

Mum, it isn't Tony this time -Not Tony?

Ricky? -It's Ryan

Another boyfriend?

Yeah, she broke up with another boyfriend

You have to cheer her up. I'll go upstairs

Yang Dingyi, come back here

Come on, talk to me

Why did you break up this time?

We're incompatible, so we broke up

How many times have I told you?

You have to accommodate each other

There's no perfect lover

Don't talk about breaking up all the time

You need to communicate when you have problems

I don't understand you. Tidy up the clothes

Yang Dingyi, I won't forget this

I told you to man the shop. Why are you staring at the computer?

Mum, take a look at this

Herman's having a press conference to announce his shotgun marriage

The episode of Herman on The Destined One aired last night...

and he's announcing his shotgun marriage to Kate now

It proves Shuyu was right. She's a capable matchmaker for sure

There's hope for our business

It's OK. I've already moved on

It's about to start. Let's watch it together

Thank you for making time to attend this press conference

I believe you've already got the news

The episode just aired, and you're announcing your shotgun marriage

Is it to create hype for the show?

Yeah, there's a rumour that you knew each other beforehand

Were you guys putting on a show?

Kate and I thought...

it wasn't easy to meet the right person...

at the right time and place

That's how we knew we were meant for each other

Herman and I really met for the first time when we filmed the show

I believe Lunar, the matchmaker, foresaw our destiny

Lunar, thank you for pairing us up

Herman and Kate kept showing their gratitude in front of the media

You'll definitely go viral this time

What? Shuyu said she'd moved on

Mr Huang, you are here

Hello...

Mr Huang, your order is ready. Let me show you

OK -Please come with me

Are you stupid?

What? Did I say something wrong?

I said, I'm fine

Shujing told me you were divorcing Luxin

You even had the divorce agreement ready

I've signed it. Luxin has already moved out

I've only been gone for two days, and and you're getting a divorce

There's nothing left between us. It'd lead to the same ending anyway

What about you and Dad? How will it end?

I don't understand you

You've never talked back to Dad. Why were you so impulsive this time?

Just drop it

I'm afraid Dad will be angrier if he finds out

Dad doesn't know yet?

Forget it. Don't say anything

Let me find a chance to explain to Dad, OK?

The Destined One has gone viral lately

Advertisers want to promote their business

They want to have an outdoor episode aired on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival

What do you think of that?

Since this is a dating show, the popularity of the matchmaker is key

I suggest we ask Yan Shuyu, Lunar,

to matchmake young couples in the streets

Her again?

I thought you supported Lunar?

For our show, she is the best option

Netizens have been talking about her since last night's episode

They call her "Super Matchmaker"

When Herman and Kate announced their marriage this morning,

they kept mentioning her

Even The Destined One has became a popular search term

Great

Seems like it was the right call to get her and Herman on the show

Kent, you have an eye for talent. You recommended her strongly early on

You are too kind. Shuyu has potential

But no one knew she would go viral

Since you're all in agreement,

let's use Kent's idea and get Lunar to matchmake people on the street

OK, I'll call Lunar right away

Dingyi, Little Apple,

get brainstorming and give me a complete proposal

OK

I'll look forward to having our special episode break ratings record

We'll do our best

See, isn't it pretty?

I want to thank you for driving me home and taking care of me that night

Order whatever you like. My treat

If you really want to thank me,

could you do me a favour?

A favour? What is it?

The Destined One is making a special episode to matchmake people on the street

We want you to be the matchmaker. Are you interested?

Me again?

I really can't find a better matchmaker who is more popular than you

Don't worry about the pay, I'll negotiate for you

No, it's not about the pay

Oh? Then what's the problem?

I get it

Our Super Matchmaker is troubled by love lately,

so she doesn't want to see people looking for their other half,

to avoid being reminded of the love she lost

It's not like that

Seriously, you haven't moved on, have you?

I've really moved on

I thought I'd be really sad, too

But on second thought,

what I feel for Herman was more of respect and admiration

It wasn't really love

Since this relationship couldn't survive a little hiccup,

it means we're not each other's true love

Why should I be so sad over him...

and make people who care about me worry?

Xiangting, over here

Xiangting, come on. Let me introduce you

You said you wanted to meet Xiangting. Here she is

He's the EP of The Destined One , Kent

Hello...

I've seen your audition footage

I think the ending was a bit sloppy. That's why I'm here to see you today

Sorry, I didn't know you'd come. I didn't prepare anything

Don't be nervous. No pressure

It's not an official audition

I met up with Shuyu today,

so I thought I'd come meet you and have a chat

You made all these?

Could you tell me about them?

What flavours do you like?

Something not too sweet. Maybe something a little bitter

Then I recommend this

It's 95% dark chocolate...

with raspberry pieces

It tastes bitter with a hint of sweetness

There may be some bitterness in life, but as long as you persist to the end,

you'll taste the sweetness in the end

That's great

Shuyu, what's the real reason you refuse to go on the show?

What's your concern? You can tell me. Maybe I can help you

When I was doing that live stream, I got drunk and uttered nonsense

I even urged people to break up

I don't know if there would be any consequences

I don't want to ruin your show

You are overthinking it

Even though you got criticized for saying something wrong in a drunken stupor,

it wouldn't affect us too much

I still think I shouldn't go. I have a lot on my plate lately

But everything will be all right in the end, right?

Do you have time? I want to take you somewhere

Do you want to try it?

Me? I...

You're good. I didn't think you'd beat me as a first-timer

You let me win on purpose

But why did you bring me here for go-karting?

I've done some filming here before

After I tried it,

I fell in love with the feeling of focusing on driving and the thrill of speed

I forgot all my troubles when I drove

True, the moment you hold the wheel and step on it,

you realize your whole world is reduced to the thrill of speed at that moment

The troubles in your life are no longer important

I can't believe this is your first time, and you were not scared at all

You know, when I learned scuba diving, I had lots of fears

I worried about running out of oxygen and encountering sharks

Until one time, I saw a pod of dolphins swim past me

I was amazed and forgot all my fears

So I think when you do these thrilling activities,

you must try to let go of your fears to have a great time

I didn't know you liked scuba diving. You like so many adventurous activities

The same goes for you

You always look so serious

I thought you were some nerd who read books all day,

or cooped yourself up at home to see movies

I didn't think you would enjoy go-karting

Never judge a book by its cover

There are many more things about me that will surprise you

It's OK. We'll have more opportunities in future

Does that mean...

you'll join us on the special episode of The Destined One ?

I'll take that as a yes

Thanks

Hi, I'm home

Dad -You're back?

-I bought an extra dish, Hong Ji's roast duck -Nice

Dinner's ready

Coming! Kids, let's eat Come on

Dad

Come on

There's roast duck

Yup, your daddy bought it

Dad, Bro bought it for you. He waited in line for two hours

He even got your favourite duck neck

Let's eat since everybody's here

Let's eat, everyone

Dad and Mum, let's eat

Dad and Mum, let's eat -Let's dig in

Let's eat...

Grandpa, I want to eat the duck leg

Here. Here's the duck leg

Then I can eat the other leg

You always get the duck leg

Dad said you should share with your younger siblings. Right, Dad?

OK, I'll listen to Dad

But you have to let me take one bite

You always say that, but you end up eating the whole thing every time

OK, you're both grown-ups, but you still act like kids

As always, give the duck leg to your mum

You two can each have a wing

Here

Your favourite duck neck

Uncle Chuan, Auntie Feng -Zhirong

-You are here -Have you eaten? Let's eat together

I've already eaten

Ex-ex-Sister-in-law... No

It's Ex-ex-ex-Sister-in-law

What's with the many "exes"?

Bro got divorced again -Yan Shujing!

I didn't make it up

Ex-Sister-in-law declared she was single on her social media

The whole world knows it

Are you two really divorced?

I see. I can't believe you

Divorce is a big deal. Why didn't you talk to us first?

Will Daddy live with us from now on?

Don't talk nonsense

Auntie Feng, we're going home now

Let's go home

I'll walk you out

What's the problem this time?

You should solve the problem quickly. Don't procrastinate

It's a long story

If it's a psychological problem, go see a psychiatrist

Psychological problems are hard to deal with

Seeing a psychiatrist won't help

How do you know if you don't see one?

It'll be bad if you let it fester and become a physiological problem

What are you talking about?

Luxin and I are still young. We're physically healthy

I don't want any more children now, but she doesn't want to compromise

So it's that you don't want a child, not that you can't have a child?

Of course

You think the reason I divorced her was because I'm impotent?

Well, Ethan overheard your parents saying...

you were getting a divorce because you couldn't do the deed

I thought you had that kind of problem

What made you think so? You should've known better

If you have a disagreement, you should find ways to communicate

Why get a divorce?

We're not compatible. It wasn't my idea to divorce anyway

You're escaping reality again

What are you talking about? I was never the one who asked for a divorce

Did you ever wonder...

why it was always the other party who asked for a divorce?

You are thrice-divorced. And you never reflected on what the problem is?

Forget it. You are not going to understand. Let me carry Ethan

Ethan, let's go home

Hello

You are here?

One soya bean curd with grass jelly? -Two

You're keeping your parents company?

No, I'm just making sure they don't eat soya bean curd with sugar

Don't worry. They've been good

They never add sugar when they eat my soya bean curd with grass jelly

So you're here to keep an eye on us

I really envy you

For so many years,

you two have been going for a walk together,

then coming for my soya bean curd with grass jelly

It's been the same all these years

Your daughter is all grown-up and filial

And your son is taking care of your business

You are living such a great life

You're giving me such a sweet compliment. I don't need sugar in my soya bean curd now

OK. Come on, take a seat

OK -Let's go

Still angry with Shuze?

You saw it yourself

Your mum and I are a model couple to everyone,

but our son divorced three times in just a few years

How disgraceful

I think there are reasons for the start and end...

of every relationship

I believe this time I can help Shuze find the reasons

Just give him a little time

A rubber band snaps when it is pulled too tight, right?

Yes, don't look so grim whenever you see your kids

Here's your soya bean curd with grass jelly

Thank you

It tastes better when it's hot -Thanks

Thank you -Thanks

Closer. OK

Bro Yi, this is the script for today

I made some changes. Can you take a look?

OK

Hi, these drinks are for you

Thanks...

Thank you for today

Don't mention it

We'll film your interview first, then your work process

Could you stand behind the counter? Show the cameraman your position

You're right. That producer is really weird

He is like this whenever I see him

I'll ask you some questions later

-Monitor's ready. Want to check it? -Just answer casually

Ask me anything if you are unsure

The monitor's too close. Set it up further away

Here? -Further

Further

Further

Further

Further

Further

I'm at the door

Good. Set it up by the door

Xiangting's face is not bright enough. Adjust the lighting

Is he OK outside?

Bro Yi, Xiangting wants to know if you're OK outside alone?

It's not too hot and sunny outside?

No, it's not too hot or too sunny

If you have any problems, talk to Kang and Little Apple

I give them control of the filming from time to time

OK

Bro Yi, we are ready

OK, we can start. Get ready

Roll tape

Rolling

Three, two, one, action

Hello, I'm Wang Xiangting. I'm the baker of this bakery

What type of guys do you like?

I like someone who has a sense of justice, and appreciates the cakes I bake

Someone who has leadership skills...

and is passionate about his work

And he must be manly

What's your idea of being romantic?

The romance I look for is very simple

If I can chat with someone I like and bake cakes together,

I will be happy

What's that smell? So stinky

It's you

What?

It's a wide street. Who do you think it's me?

It might be from over there

It really stinks

Then hold your breath and go away

Is it really that stinky?

So dramatic

When baking a cake, besides texture, the fragrance is also important

So I have a good sense of smell. And I'm very sensitive about smell

Pack up. Then we can leave

Wait a minute. I made these

The blueberry flavour one is for Little Apple

The tiramisu is for Kang

Blueberry is my favourite

You know I like tiramisu?

People with different personalities like different desserts

Xiangting can tell what flavour you like through observation

Then can you guess what flavour Bro Yi likes?

I know he likes chocolate puff

But I've added some matcha. I hope you'll like it

Don't come over. Kang, you take it for me

I remember Bro Yi said he liked chocolate matcha desserts

You are amazing. I'm sure you'll win if you take part in a baking competition

Xiangting once signed up for an international baking competition

Too bad the quota was full

Now she can't even get a ticket for the grand final

I think the EP of the grand final is Sean

Sean?

Bro Yi, isn't Sean a good friend of yours?

Let me ask him for you. Shouldn't be any problem

Thank you, guys

Please share these with the crew

OK, thanks -Thanks

Thank you. Bye -Bye

He's gone. What are you looking at?

Hi, table for two?

I'm getting a takeaway

Me too

OK, take your time -Thanks

You didn't have it the last time, so you came to buy it?

Xiao-mi likes it, so I'm getting it for him

Lunar? You're that Super Matchmaker Lunar

Never thought I'd meet you here

I really like your channel. Can you find a match for me?

Of course. Just leave a message on my channel

OK, thanks. Bye -Bye

You have fans now. A matchmaker has become a big star

What are you getting at?

Can you really...

see the red thread?

What? You want me to look at yours?

No way. You always say I'm a scammer

If you can help me out, it'll prove you're not a scammer

Why should I help you?

If you have the ability, you should help people

OK, you're right. I'll show you what I'm capable of

Really? You have to keep your promise

No take-back -I won't break my promise

Thank you. Call me anytime. Bye

Hi, you're here? This way, please

We provide three different packages

Take a seat. I'll check it for you

Can you tell me your Eight Characters?

Can I read your palms?

I can give you a 10% discount

We can deliver the packages to your place for free

I've checked for you guys. You are a good match

It'd be good to get married in August

OK, thanks. Bye

The landlord just called

Oh, no. Another increase in rent?

Wrong

He sees that our business has improved

He's afraid if we move away, he'll lose the crowd too

So he's decided to lower the rent by 5%

Really?

That's great! Our financial crisis is over

Yeah

Since our problem is solved,

it's time to solve yours

What problem do I have?

Drop your act

I mean things between you and Zhirong

Be honest, are you still in love with her?

What?

Don't lie to me. Even if you want to, you can't

Because...

I saw a red thread between you guys

But there's a knot in your red thread

It means there is a problem between you guys

As for whose problem that is,

you have to do some soul-searching

Knot or no knot, our relationship is history now

Why do I have to think about it?

If there's a red thread, it means you still have feelings for each other

She still loves you, stupid

Can't you just untie the knot?

I'm thrice-divorced. Get back with an ex-wife? Give me a break

This concerns your lifelong happiness. Don't give me that attitude

I'm really tired

I want to go home and take a shower, then eat something and go to bed. Bye!

Seems like I have to do something

I haven't eaten your mum's pig's trotters in black vinegar in a long time

You missed it, huh?

Stop it

Zhirong, among Shuze's ex-wives,

you are Mum and Dad's favourite

Shuze is divorced anyway

Even if he's divorced, it doesn't mean we still have a chance

Why are you here?

Ethan says he has a test tomorrow and wants me to study with him

Hi

What a coincidence that you are here too

Daddy -Ethan

Why are you here?

Mum wanted me to bring Zhirong the pig's trotters

Daddy, where's my ice cream?

Studying is just an excuse. He wanted his daddy to bring him ice cream

Mummy, I want to eat it now

OK. Give it to me

Let me help him

Zhirong, you should tell Shuze what Ethan has to study for tomorrow

Let's go

This one

The test might involve this and this

Why are the lights off? What should we do now?

It's probably a blackout

You are still afraid of the dark?

I'm here. Don't be afraid

Don't peek -I want to see

What's with the blackout?

Hi

What time is it? Are they here yet? Hurry up

Director

These are the shots we're filming today

We'll film the host's link first

And she'll say...

We're filming a Mid-Autumn Festival special of The Destined One

Of course we hope to see a match made

Shuyu, don't be nervous

Our host and the camera will follow you

All you have to do is to matchmake, OK?

OK -OK, I'm ready too

I'm looking forward to work with our Super Matchmaker

Thanks. But I don't have much location shooting experience

Please do give me guidance

It's the weekend today. There should be many single people in the streets

My mission with the Super Matchmaker Lunar is to matchmake

Yes, maybe the one you're looking for is just round the corner

Come on, let's start our mission

Everyone, get ready. Stand by, let's continue filming

Three, two, one, go!

OK, let's go

This one

Hey, hello

Hi, are you single? -Yes

Great. Want to join our dating show? -No

Really? We have Super Matchmaker Lunar here to help you

No -OK, thank you

Do you have a girlfriend?

I already have a girlfriend -OK

You guys must be a couple, right?

What about you? Are you single? -Yes

Want to join our dating show?

Sir, are you single?

Hi, are you single? Want to join our dating show?

Cut. OK. Come back

Hey, hello, are you single?

I don't have a boyfriend

Great. What's your name? -Xiaoqi

Hello, Xiaoqi

We're filming the dating show The Destined One

Our Super Matchmaker Lunar will help you find a match

Do you want to take on the challenge?

Sure

Really? Great! We finally found someone

What kind of guy do you like?

I like the sunny type. And he has to be a good singer

He has to enjoy good food with me

But the most important thing is the chemistry between us

Chemistry

How are we going to help Xiaoqi find a match from all these people?

We can start from face reading

So you know face reading?

See, Xiaoqi has willow-like eyebrows

Girls with this type of eyebrows are good-tempered and gentle

But they tend to lose themselves in their relationships

Very indecisive

So we have to help Xiaoqi find a guy with thick, distinct eyebrows

Why? -This kind of guy is very faithful

He would be a good leader and help guide his other half

I think people with those eyebrows are meant for each other

That's great

OK. Not much time left now. Let's go and find someone

Let's go

Cut. Good take

Hi, we're matchmaking on the street. Are you single?

Yes

That's great

What's your name? What interests do you have?

My name is Ben. I like to look all over for good food

Look all over for good food?

Our female participant is good at cooking. And her signature dish is pasta

Do you want to know her?

Pasta is my favourite food

She's just nearby. We'll take you to her, OK?

OK

Cut. OK, let's take a break

Then we can film the part where the two meet

Thanks

How's your first day of a location shoot?

OK

But running around like this every day must be really tiring, right?

We've got used to it

Don't...

Shuyu

Watch out!
