The female character is Kim Lien (40 years old) - chief accountant for a Korean company in Ho Chi Minh City. Kim Lien once had a marriage that lasted many years with a man she had known since working in the same company. After a year of getting to know each other, the two got married and had their first son in 2014. However, right in the sensitive postpartum period, Kim Lien discovered her husband texting another woman, calling her "husband and wife".
That shock became the starting point for a series of broken days. Kim Lien chose silence and endurance, hoping to protect the family for her children. But the coldness, lack of companionship and nights of "going through the night without explanation" from her husband gradually made the marriage fall into a state of cold war lasting for one to two years. "In conversations, I was a one-sided person. He did not respond," Kim Lien shared on television.
Although she tried to hold on for her son, Kim Lien realized that the child who grew up in the cold family atmosphere also suffered a lot of hurt. When her son was 9 years old, she decided to stop the marriage, closing a journey full of tears. After the breakup, Kim Lien came to the program with a simple wish: to find a decent, tolerant, ethical and peaceful man.
On the male main, Bui Tan Hai (born in 1977) is the head of department at a securities company with more than 20 years of experience in the financial field. He also divorced after 15 years of living together, including 6 years of separation. According to sharing, the cause of the breakup came from differences in lifestyle and personality, not adultery or fierce conflicts.
The two rieng children are a notable common point of the couple. Both Kim Lien and Tan Hai have sons, both have private houses and stable economic foundations. The conversation between the two sides shows similarities in thinking of maturity, reality, especially views on responsibility to children and finances after divorce.
However, when facing the final decision, Tan Hai did not press the dating button. He frankly admitted that initial emotions were the key factor and at that time, he did not feel the necessary vibration. Kim Lien received the result calmly, showing the maturity of a woman who has gone through many upheavals.
Without a couple's ending, their stories leave a deep aftertaste. This "You Want to Date" program is not only a place to find love, but also a space for people who have broken up to look back on their marriages, understand their own limits and cherish true emotions.
