At the program "Dreak Dinner", the audience witnessed a special meeting of two people of the same age, born in 1985, bringing incomplete experiences in their love journey. The harmony of age, circumstances and thoughts partly created a close and sincere atmosphere from the first minutes of conversation.
The female character is Nguyen Thi Ngoi, from Quang Binh, currently living and working in Ho Chi Minh City. She introduced herself as a massage therapist, a job associated with community health care. On the other side is Mr. Trung Toan, originally from the North, currently living in Dong Nai and working in the field of electrical system maintenance engineering.
Sharing about himself, Mr. Toan said that he is a hardworking person, can do housework, knows how to cook and is always ready to yield in family life. He frankly acknowledged his shortcomings as being sometimes hot-tempered, but only spontaneous for a moment and not letting negative emotions drag on.
Meanwhile, Ngoi creates sympathy with her openness and many diverse hobbies. She loves singing, cooking, baking, mixing, sewing, sports, traveling and participating in community activities such as cleaning up the environment. However, Ngoi also does not hide her very ordinary fears, such as fear of ghosts or snakes, making the conversation atmosphere closer.
The atmosphere of the program subsided when Ngoi shared about a major upheaval in her life. She said she had gone through a relationship when she was very young, leading to having children but unable to build a complete family. After injuries and breakups, Ngoi chose to live single for a long time because she had not found a man sincere enough to trust.
Listening to that story, Mr. Toan also shared about his broken marriage. He said that he had lived together and separated after three years because of unresolved problems. Although he does not have children, he still wants to find a suitable woman to build a stable life together, respect and understand each other.
When talking about ideal role models, Ngoi expressed her desire to meet a man with a stable job, who does not want to marry a poor husband, knows how to help and respect women, and is not patriarchal or imposing.
Before these shares, Mr. Toan affirmed that he is not a patriarchal person, believing that everyone has their own thoughts and ways of life, and should not impose personal views on the other person.
The moment the two officially met directly took place with excitement mixed with anticipation. Small gifts were exchanged and the first greeting closed the date in a gentle, no-noise atmosphere but enough to open up hope for a new relationship.
However, in the end, Mr. Toan did not press the dating button. When saying the reason, the young man said that because the girl said she did not like marrying poor people, while my family was poor and my parents were hard-working, I felt it was not suitable.
