The female character is Ms. Bui Thanh Phuc (born in 1997), currently working as a nurse at the vaccination center and doing extra physical therapy. The male character is Mr. Nguyen Thanh Long (born in 1994), working in lighting systems and taking on extra gardening work at home. Right from the introduction, MC Thanh Van commented that the two are "90% compatible" because of their simple, diligent lifestyle and family priority.
The highlight that attracted the audience's attention was the basic information of the groom's family: Mr. Long said that he had saved nearly 300 million VND to prepare for his wedding. He admitted that his advantages are knowing how to cook, "cooking temporarily well" with familiar dishes such as sour soup and braised fish, liking to go to work, "playing after finishing" and not putting too much emphasis on material things. Regarding the criteria for a girlfriend, Mr. Long shared his desire for a person who is "loyal and hardworking, knows above and below" and especially likes the type of girl "with skin and flesh" because it creates a feeling of benevolence.
Meanwhile, Ms. Thanh Phuc creates sympathy with her energetic voice and straightforward sharing. Ms. Phuc said that she is trustworthy, likes to work to earn money and sets the criteria that her lover is "gentle, not playful", limits alcohol, does not smoke or smokes little.
When chatting longer, Ms. Phuc made the studio silent when talking about her marriage past: she was married, had a baby girl (This Tet is 3 years old) and divorced nearly 2 years ago because her ex-husband fell into gambling, eating and playing, and even had violent behavior. Currently, Ms. Phuc is raising her child alone, the baby is mainly with her parents because her work often comes home late.
Faced with the female friend's situation, Mr. Long showed calmness and tolerance. When asked if he was willing to date his single mother, Mr. Long decisively replied: "Willing", and said that the important thing is people, not marital status. Mr. Long's view of "loving people means loving children" received praise from the MC and created a turning point for the program atmosphere. Ms. Phuc also shared that family, especially mother, only needs a polite and filial son-in-law - something Mr. Long confidently can meet.
After the meeting, the two quickly found common ground: from the same hometown of Tien Giang (Ms. Phuc in Cai Lay, Mr. Long in Tan Phuoc), like to cook, are diligent and aim for a stable life. When discussing the progress of their relationship, Mr. Long said that if they are compatible, they can plan long-term plans, even "the following year" they can move forward. Ms. Phuc does not set distant expectations, just hopes to meet someone sincere, "no need to promise much, but promises must be done".
One of the moments that created the feeling of "the right person, at the right time" was the challenge: Ms. Phuc showed off her neck and shoulder massage skills for Mr. Long - her part-time job. Mr. Long could not hide his excitement, calling the female friend's hands "angelic hands". In response, Mr. Long gave her a small gift and then sang a piece of music with the rustic Mekong Delta colors, making Ms. Phuc touched. Ms. Phuc also expressed her desire to have someone to celebrate New Year's Eve together, because "it's been a long time since there was anyone".
The climax of the broadcast episode came at the decisive moment. After more than 30 minutes of chatting, Mr. Long and Ms. Phuc together held hands and pressed buttons, turning on the "love lantern" amidst the cheers of the studio.
