The female character is Ngoc Thanh (nickname Thanh Beauty, 31 years old, from Dong Thap), currently doing spa and cosmetic tattooing. The male character is Khanh Duy (38 years old, from Dong Thap), a high school math teacher, appearing with an intellectual appearance but quite shy and introverted.
Right from the introduction, the program created a "bottleneck" thanks to an unbelievable coincidence in the ex-lover's love affair. Khanh Duy recounted that he used to know a girl born in 1995, majoring in preschool education, who was a final year student at Dong Thap University in the period 2016-2017. He admitted the "unlucky" love affair and still does not understand why his girlfriend suddenly texted "no longer in love".
This detail made MC Thanh Van "goosebumps" because it coincided with the information that the bride's family used to be a kindergarten teacher before turning to the beauty industry. The coincidence became an attraction, making the audience curious whether this was a "fate" arranged by the program or just a coincidence.
If Thanh Beauty creates sympathy for her openness, femininity and good aesthetic taste, Khanh Duy scores points with the "three no's" model: no drinking, no smoking, no partying. He shared that he comes from a family with a tradition of teachers, his work is busy because in addition to teaching at school, he also manages an extra tutoring facility with nearly 10 groups. "24 hours a day is not enough," he said, while admitting that is also the reason why he has difficulty finding a girlfriend.
He said that he has his own car and a front house with billions of dong in assets.
In the opposite direction, Thanh Beauty frankly said that she likes freedom, likes to go out, experience, and needs "private space" even though she still values loyalty. She admits that she is a bit hot-tempered, impatient and easily bored if the relationship does not clearly define goals. Notably, she prepared a handmade gift: a picture of a couple standing on a bridge watching the sunset, sending a message of harmony and appreciation for the present. The gift is considered a big plus, showing the sophistication and sincerity of the bride's family.
After opening the door to meet, the two talked quite naturally. Khanh Duy admitted that he has almost no free time, mostly spending on composing songs.
Thanh Beauty confided her desire to find a companion but must be "tolerant" to her liberality. The situation that caught the audience's attention was when Khanh Duy shared his marital views: if he gets married, he wants his wife to "always be by his side", even suggesting that with his current income he can take care of his wife's whole family, and his wife does not need to work hard. This view immediately created a discrepancy with Thanh Beauty's desire to develop her career and private space.
The climax came in the final decisive part. Although giving each other compliments and still maintaining a polite attitude, Khanh Duy did not press the button to continue. The reason he gave made the studio silent: "I respect your life". The sentence is short but shows that he realized that the two people have different rhythms of life, different future expectations.
