The male character is Nguyen Lam Phong (50 years old, from Hanoi), currently living in Ho Chi Minh City.
He attracted attention when he shared that he had never been married, had not loved anyone for many years since moving to the South in 2014. Considering himself a reclusive person, rarely communicating and quite shy, Mr. Phong said that he does not value material things, only hopes to find a gentle person who knows how to care.
Currently, Mr. Phong is unemployed, doing whatever he is asked to do to cover his living expenses in Ho Chi Minh City.
On the other side, Bao Uyen (37 years old, Dong Nai) has a completely different story. She is a civil servant, highly educated and had a 11-year marriage before divorcing.
Currently, she lives with her young daughter, hoping to find a sincere man who knows how to listen and share to build a sustainable family.
Right from the first minutes of the conversation, the difference gradually became clear. If Bao Uyen showed openness, willingness to start over after a breakup, Mr. Phong maintained a very clear point of view: he just wanted to find someone who had never been married.
When MC Ngoc Lan asked about the reason, Mr. Phong frankly said that he did not want his "future wife to share feelings with someone else", and also did not want to enter a relationship with complex past elements. This view was maintained by him from the beginning to the end of the program.
Before that position, Bao Uyen still gently shared her perspective. She believes that it is the experience of marriage that helps her understand the value of family, know what she needs and be ready to nurture it to protect happiness. According to her, the most important thing is still sincerity and empathy, instead of being too harsh with the past.
However, all persuasion efforts did not change Mr. Phong's decision. He affirmed that he could only stop at the level of friends, not move towards a romantic relationship. Before this decisiveness, two MCs Quyen Linh and Ngoc Lan also expressed regret, but respected the personal choices of the participants.
As a result, the couple did not press the dating button. However, both still maintained a civilized attitude, agreed to be friends and sent good wishes to each other.
