Welcome back everyone to Shanghai Share Life, part 2 of episode 1!
We're observing a group of young people living inside a nice house for 105 days.
Let's review what happened from last episode.
In the last episode, 6 young adults arrived at the house for the first time.
During grocery shopping, Curry showed off his "leadership skill"
and got complaints from all the girls.
- Not just the girls though. - The guys too.
- No one has let him off the hook.
Everyone complained about him.
It looks like Tianqi doesn't like to be under Curry's rule.
Can we not have this meeting right now?
No, we have to settle this because the money is everyone's money.
This is unnecessary.
We have to figure this out together.
Why can't we just do it when we go shopping?
Nana was asked to do the dishes but didn't have time to do it that night.
The next morning, Carmon wanted to help but Curry stopped her.
- Should I wash them? - No, why would you do it for them?
When Nana and Tianqi came back after work, a big argument broke out because of the dishes.
Did you remember that you were supposed to do the dishes today?
You didn't think to help her do it while you've just been sitting here?
Why would I do that?
You think no one else has anything to do but you two?
But you could just be a gentleman and help out the girls a bit, can't you?
It's nothing, it's just dishes. I needed to do it anyway.
Exactly, it should be her.
As for relationships, it's clear that Nana and Tianqi are starting to flirt.
The scene where they wash dishes together somehow seemed romantic.
- It's not "starting" to flirt. - It's 99.9% flirting!
Yeah, seems like they're already there.
Let's see how it progresses in this episode.
Episode 2, Week 1 "Invisible Ruler"
You're by yourself?
How's it going?
We just got here, I think the space is pretty nice.
How about you?
I... just feel like I'm still not used to living here yet.
How come?
Well, I have a dog...
I didn't bring him here because everything is still new.
I know that he'd probably have a hard time adjusting.
- I have a dog too. - You have a dog too?
So right now I'm living here, but I had to leave him at the pet hotel.
Yeah so...
[panelist] They have something in common!
I actually don't really like being away from my dog.
Me neither. Because I never.. because he's 4 years old now,
We've never spent more than a day apart.
- What kind of dog do you have? - I have a shiba inu.
What's their name?
"Er Lang." (it means "second son")
What about yours?
Mine is named Popsicle.
Popsicle.
He's a mutt, let me find some pictures for you.
He looks like this.
This is when he first got sent to the pet hotel, poor guy.
He looks pretty skinny.
I think he's about 10kg.
My dog is about 15kg, he's really fat.
Let me show you.
In all the companies that I started and all my projects, I use my dog as the logos.
- This is something I drew recently. - So cute!
Yeah, he's a fat dummy.
Chubby to the point where he has a humpback when he sits.
So fat.
He does look pretty goofy.
Do you miss him?
What do you think?
I miss him so much. I used to even take him with me on my work trips.
We're always together.
The thing with my dog is... if he stays at the pet hotel for too long
I'm afraid there will be some emotional problems or something.
Do you want to bring your dog here?
- I... I'm actually thinking about it. - Same here.
- Lately my dog has been refusing to eat. - Refusing to eat?!
Yeah, his mood and appetite have been really bad lately.
I feel like maybe we can talk to our housemates and see what they think?
Yes, yes!
We can let them meet our dogs first, then ask them if they like them or not, right?
Chu Mengna (NaNa) Student, 22 years old
Chen Xiaowei (Binshen) Professional gamer, 23 years old
Jin Yujie Model, 22 years old
Liu Keli (Curry) Social media entrepreneur, 29 years old
Wu Kawen (Carmon) Designer, 29 years old
Wang Tianqi Salesperson, 26 years old
[coworker] What's like to be on that show?
It's just... you know, 3 guys and 3 girls living together.
So how do you feel about them?
The guys or the girls?
Of course the girls! Why would I ask about the guys?
The girls...
I feel like I don't hang out with them too much.
There's one girl I think is pretty cute, though.
- We'll see. - Then you must be pretty shy.
Not shy exactly, just taking time to get to know them.
So there's one cute girl, huh?
Yeah, just an initial feeling.
- I think he's talking about Nana. - Right, the cute one.
I don't think he's taking time though, he already asked her out!
Did you see the pay stub for this month?
Yeah. I got deducted 1000 yuan...
Seems kind of excessive.
- What about you? - I got four or five hundred deducted.
The base pay is already low, then it gets deducted if you're late by one minute..
Who doesn't rush to get to work?
I agree, I feel like one day our pay stub will be negative.
Don't even bother paying me, I'll just pay the boss to work.
Welcome home.
Hello!
[Curry huffing heavily]
You came back late, did you just get off work?
I just got off, yeah.
What's wrong?
Today I got my pay stub for this month.
And we get deducted 10 yuan for every minute we're late to work.
- Huh? - 10 yuan for 1 minute.
I got deducted 1000 yuan this month.
That's kind of....I think that's excessive.
It's outrageous, really. I don't know what the company is thinking.
I feel like the company takes every chance they get to oppress their employees,
and take every penny from you.
I feel like...I mean, although it's not good to be late for work,
your company's policy a bit too much.
It's nothing.
It's just a bit of money.
I mean... you don't make much in the first place, it's not a small amount
[sigh]
Don't be upset, let's just not be late from now, right?
[panelist] Haha, as if.
I'll try my best, I don't want to either.
[panelist] He's here, get ready for another lesson.
What's up?
I got deducted 1000 yuan from my paycheck.
For every minute late, you get 10 yuan deducted.
I guess it means you've been late a lot lately.
Maybe, but they count literally every minute.
If something happens one day and you're late by a lot, in the end it all adds up.
But I think that's a pretty normal practice for legitimate companies.
No, I know late-to-work deductions are normal
but it's my first time working at a place where they do it by the minute.
And there's no limit to the amount they can deduct.
But for a company, one of the most important management policies is
making sure employees are punctual.
Really?
Yeah. If you can't make sure that your employees come to work on time,
it's really difficult to manage everything else on the team.
But don't you think this policy is too extreme?
Well... if they treat you this way, they probably treat everyone else the same way.
And maybe you have been late too many times.
So you're saying that if there's an unreasonable policy that gets applied equally to everyone,
it becomes reasonable?
From my point of view, I can at least understand why they do it.
I can also understand that you just moved here,
maybe your commute became farther and it takes extra time in the morning
but I would still suggest that you take the responsibility to adjust to the environment.
Oh, so you mean there's nothing wrong with the policy, it's all my fault, right?
Well you chose this job, right, and you love this line of work.
Being in the fashion industry is your dream.
Right?
Okay, got it.
I'm going back to the room.
- I think Tianqi is mad. - Yeah, he is.
I'm mad at him!
[laughter]
I feel like... Curry is right though.
- Yeah, he was spot on. - Yeah.
Tianqi is great at blaming others, but he never examines himself.
He even said "it's all my fault" so passive aggressively.
- Of course it's your fault! - You're one to talk when you're late!
If you can't change the policy you can at least change yourself!
There's no issue if you're not late.
[friend] What are you doing here?
What are you doing here? It's been so long!
- Same! - You haven't contacted me in a while!
- What are you doing here, working? - Yeah, we're trying on the outfits.
Where's your boyfriend? Doesn't he usually come to these things?
Um.. I don't know, maybe today was inconvenient.
Hasn't he come with you to every show?
It's nothing.
- Does he have work? - No.
What is it?
We broke up.
Why?
He cheated.
I would have forgotten about it already if you hadn't brought it up! It's fine.
- You don't have to always pretend to be strong. - I'm not, I'm not.
Make sure you're eating and taking care of yourself. I worry about you.
- You too. - You know?
- I have to go now. - Okay, call me.
- Bye bye. - Go, go. Call me.
Pay attention to the music when you're walking.
Lift your head. You forgot again. Lift your head.
Don't move your hands.
Don't sway your hands, how many times do I have to say it?
Don't move your hands, do you want me to switch you out?
Walk.
- This segment was heavy. - Yes, it was serious.
Only the second episode and it's already gotten so personal.
After seeing this, my opinion of Curry has improved.
- He's decent. - Yeah, he's actually a pretty caring person.
He's really gotten Yang Li's attention.
This wasn't the part that moved Yang Li.
When he was working out.. I felt like that was an accurate portrayal of who he is.
Really exhausting.
- Thankless. - Yeah.
He thinks that Tianqi isn't happy because he doesn't understand workplace norms,
when really Tianqi just can't accept them. He thinks it's unfair.
I didn't think the work thing was even so unreasonable. It's his problem.
- I don't think so either. - Time management is really important.
Yeah. You can always quit.
You can also decide when onboarding that you don't want the job if you can't accept the policy.
- It's your own choice. - Right.
You wanted this job, why are you only saying now that it's unreasonable?
One day, maybe when he has his own staff, he'll understand.
- I don't think he'll have his own workers. - Yeah.
There's no way he'll have his own.
That Tianqi not very self-critical. He thinks the world should rotate around him.
I think he's driven by emotion, whereas Curry is more driven by logic.
- The way he expresses concern for others can make them resent him. - It feels oppressive.
If he changed his manner, they could stomach it. But he won't, he can only use this type of--
- Logical reasoning. - Right, logic.
So they'll always have this friction.
But how do you advise someone like Tianqi? What would sink in?
Look at how Nana does it.
Nana's in a sticky spot, it would be difficult for her if she really wanted to date him.
But I feel like this happens all the time with relationships.
Relationships can be a trap.
It's an awkward position.
- Yeah. - Very awkward.
I think Nana is a pretty naive person. She doesn't know how things like this work, either.
That's why the two of them were responsible for the mess last episode, not helping with dinner or the dishes.
The actions match the people.
Curry would never be late, he would never let someone else dock his pay.
He's very principled, but he's also rigid and unyielding.
He never goes with the flow.
- He's just never happy. - Yeah.
- Even though he makes no mistakes, he'll never be happy. - Yeah.
They're always messing up, but they're always happy!
It's so hard! How do you choose?
They seemed pretty happy when they were talking about their dogs.
- That was the first time that boy-- - Seemed human.
He laughed! He became soft.
- He wasn't so stiff and stern anymore. - Or awkward.
I would think, I could actually tolerate this person.
But I can't stand the type of guy that calls his dog "doggy."
So stern.
You seem to have a thing for high-powered business types, not cutesy guys.
Yeah, you don't have to be a tyrant over CEO types.
CEOs can say "doggy," too.
Oh, we also saw a heartbroken Yujie.
- Oh, the model. - So she was dumped.
For this I'll consult Keni. Is it true that this type of really elegant, aloof--
- A high-fashion face. - This kind of cool girl, do they get hurt more easily?
I'm always seeing this trope.
- Why not consult me? - Yeah, why not ask her?
This is the source of her pain!
Because I understand you! I know you're not that kind of person.
Everyone says we judge people by their appearance, and it's true,
lots of people tell me that if they didn't know me they'd think I was scary.
If I'm standing around not saying anything, they say, "I feel like you look down on me."
- But I'm not like that. - You don't look down on me?
- I don't! - Thank you.
- I'm really warm and I cry a lot. - But you look down on people while crying.
No! No! I'm honestly pretty sensitive.
But the more intimidating you look, the more painful it is when you get hurt.
I don't know if that girl is like me, but I don't like to show that side of me in front of other people.
It's so sad, even in that kind of mood she has to keep walking back and forth and getting her photo taken
and get bossed around.
I also walked in Fashion Week once.
Modeling really is incredibly difficult, especially walking on a runway.
It's really scary to be in a show in front of all those professionals,
and someone is constantly criticizing you into a microphone.
"You look bad! Why are you swinging your arms!"
When your teacher is yelling at you on a stage you just think, I have no place.
I don't want my flaws to be heard by so many people,
much less in front of all these cameras.
I feel like she was really emotionally fragile in that scene.
What did you do today?
Preparing for Fashion Week. The show is on the 11th.
Today I bumped into a friend and our conversation wasn't great.
Do you want to talk about it?
Not really.
- That's okay, next time. - Next time.
Okay.
Who's back?
[panelist] They brought the dogs!
They really brought them!
- Hello! - Hello.
You brought Er Lang?
Why didn't you guys say you were going to bring your dogs home?
Let's sit over there. Since it's their first time meeting they might get into a fight.
If you put him here I'll be afraid.
I'll hold him.
Is that okay?
Why didn't you discuss this with everyone?
Why didn't you tell me first?
Um...
Do you want to sit over there? That way you can sit farther from the dogs.
It's just that her dog was in a pet hotel,
and my employees were helping me take care of mine.
A couple days ago we were talking about how unhappy they were.
My dog had even stopped eating.
But you still have to ask everyone, in case someone's afraid of dogs.
We talked about having a conversation with everyone after we came back,
so that you could see the dogs first before we ask for your opinions.
- You should have asked before you brought them. - Yeah.
You couldn't ask for my opinion before you brought them home?
Now that your dog is here, do I have a choice?
I've never lived with dogs before, so I don't even know if I'm allergic to them.
And dogs and cats both smell, you didn't ask if we're okay with that either.
I was thinking I would just let him stay downstairs.
It doesn't matter what you were planning, it was wrong to bring them back.
Because neither of you considered my feelings.
- You have to be considerate... - It doesn't matter which floor it is,
I live with Carmon on the 2nd floor. And our shared spaces are on the 1st floor.
It's out of line.
Did you ask Binshen if he's allergic?
Yeah, so our aim in bringing the dogs was just to let you guys see them,
so we could get everyone's input.
You should have asked earlier. It's a little late now.
What do you think?
I, I...I'll let you all go first.
If I'm home alone and those two are roaming around freely,
I can't be upstairs, I can't be downstairs, what am I supposed to do?
I can bring him on my commute, so he won't be here unless I'm here.
But now you're making me the bad guy.
- No, I didn't mean it like that-- - You've put me in an awkward position.
We just wanted everyone to discuss it objectively. I think you're being a little aggressive.
You were wrong first.
Okay, I was wrong first. But can you calm down a little right now?
- We all live together. - I'm very calm.
It's fine if you talk to me like this, but Carmon is your roommate.
You live closely together. I don't think it's right to be so combative.
[panelist] He's lecturing her again.
I want to apologize first. I'm sorry for bringing the dog without telling everyone.
Because of the pandemic, when I went home to my parents this year, I had to leave him in the pet hotel.
I didn't want to. He was really sensitive when I came back after three weeks.
So this time I just... wanted to take him out as soon as I could, and talk it over with everyone then.
But of course I can bring him back. I just wanted to discuss it first.
I understand Carmon's reasoning. But I want to respond to what you just said.
- You can say whatever, no problem. - I know I can.
First, I'm not an aggressive person. I'm angry because you didn't ask for my permission before bringing them.
And you didn't ask anyone else, either.
Second, I had a roommate before this. She wanted a dog too, but I didn't agree to it.
She was also a really close friend.
I even had a falling out with her over the dog issue. So it makes me really unhappy that you think
I'm pushy and aggressive just because of my attitude about this.
The reason I said that was because firstly, we're all equally in charge of this house.
We're all allowed to do whatever we wish.
We didn't know if you were afraid of dogs, if you're allergic, if you just hate them.
If we're all in charge here, why didn't you ask anyone else what they thought?
We brought them back to ask you what you thought. Even if we didn't let you know beforehand,
we brought them because we also get a say in this, and each of us can do whatever we choose.
If you put it that way, I have nothing else to say. I'm done talking.
[panelist] Aw... little doggy.
Poor doggy.
Before, didn't he say that they would discuss it with everyone first?
He thought wrong.
- He thought when they brought them back-- - Everyone would say, so cute!
- He thought the dogs would win them over. - Yeah.
He probably thought this wasn't even a big deal, unlike the dishes, which were a huge deal.
It's on the same level at the dishes. He even called her aggressive.
The dogs are much cuter than the dishes.
All his hopes right now hinge on how the others feel about dogs.
But there's no way to arrive at a compromise with someone who hates dogs so much.
She's scared of them.
How can she live there if she's scared of them? There's no way, she'd have to leave early.
What do we do? That was...
[sigh]
I do think we messed up a bit.
Originally we were going to let them know first... and everyone's emotions were running high.
Do you remember that first day we went out for groceries, I think I mentioned my shiba in the car...
- I think so, yeah. - Yeah.
At the time Yujie didn't say she was scared of dogs. So it didn't even cross my mind.
Maybe she didn't say anything because we'd only just met each other.
I'm just going to say things from our perspective for now.
- First of all, we treat our dogs like our children. - Yeah.
If we neglect our obligations to them for even a day, we feel really guilty.
So that's why I got upset in that moment.
It felt like maybe Yujie was showing animosity towards our children.
So I felt really protective and kind of snapped.
I can understand why that made you lose your cool, but from Yujie's perspective,
she sees us as her roommates, so when we did what we did,
it made her feel that we carelessly threw her concerns aside. That we were inconsiderate.
Yeah, I can understand that.
So, I still think we should apologize
and from now on we'll be more considerate as roommates.
We should help her feel like that's our intention.
What do you think?
Okay.
Just apologize.
So difficult.
- The way Carmon speaks is very agreeable. - Agreed!
- She speaks very gently. - Very warmly.
- She's very reasonable. - She communicates well.
Come in.
- Hello... - Hi.
Come sit.
I'm sorry. We should have come to you first.
Yes, you should have talked to me first about it.
Do you... how are you feeling right now?
I'm fine. It's not an issue of my mood, but rather an issue of right or wrong.
Okay.
When we were talking earlier, I didn't really speak up.
However, the fact is... Let me first try to explain my behavior today.
I wanted to first bring Popsicle here first, and I didn't ask for anyone's permission beforehand.
At the same time, it happened to be his last day at the pet hotel, so I thought I could bring him back just to see.
I think Curry also felt the same, since he's had his dog for 4 years.
Let's just talk about our own issues, there's no need to involve him.
He's him and you're you.
Sure.
Honestly, as long as you guys can find a suitable place for your dogs, it's fine.
It's not that I have an issue with the dogs.
My issue was that it seemed you guys didn't really regard our feelings,
and that you guys didn't really respect us.
Maybe my temperament is just like this. My life has always been just work and home,
so maybe I'm not very good at seeing things from another perspective.
That's why I had such a strong reaction.
When I was little, I got chased by a dog, so to some extent I am afraid of them.
But if you'd discussed it with me, I'd be okay with it.
Because we have a good relationship, and I really like you.
I just hope in the future we can communicate more.
We will.
That's why I got angry. But I'm not angry at you.
Okay. I feel better knowing that you're not angry.
Today I even brought you home a clip that matches mine.
I bought two, and I thought it would suit you because you have short hair.
It's so cute, thank you!
We got tangled up in this argument, and I didn't have time to give it to you.
- Thank you. - It's nothing.
- It's so cute. - Let's try to avoid these kinds of conflicts in the future.
Yeah. And now I feel like everyone knows why everyone else got upset,
so it'll help prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
And I was so tired when I got home, maybe I wasn't in a great mood.
Maybe I brought my work stress home with me.
Oh, was it your fitting?
I can't eat much because I'm controlling my diet for Fashion Week. So maybe I've been on edge.
And the work environment has been really harsh.
You're so strict with yourself.
Only when I have to be. Otherwise, I'm pretty indulgent.
- Really? I'll pay more attention. - We have to find joy where we can.
Yeah.
- Oh, you came up? - How's it going?
Did you come up to talk to me about what happened today?
Yeah, we wanted to chat with you.
I don't really want to talk to you right now.
I don't want to talk about this. Just like how you didn't want to tell me before you brought your dog over.
Can I just say two things, and then I'll go?
I don't want to hear it. Let's talk about this another day, maybe tomorrow.
- It's like this.. - I said I didn't want to hear it.
- I think we should resolve this today. - I don't want to hear it.
- Because we already brought the dogs. - You guys deal with it, they're your dogs.
I have my own things to deal with, I've already had too much to worry about today.
And I still have some work to deal with.
So can we just table this, calm down a little and talk about it tomorrow?
- I just want to say a couple things-- - Forget it, you should both get some rest.
- I agree. - I think you and I both need to calm down. Okay?
Why don't we give Yujie some space? She had an exhausting day at work too.
- Good night. - Okay.
Let's go.
Get some rest.
- You still need to eat if you're hungry. - Okay.
[laughter]
Living together doesn't seem to be working out for them.
We're so invested in this.
I really like this episode.
On the surface it's a simple argument about the dogs, but it's actually about a lot of things.
It's about respect and consideration, which are both serious issues.
Like at the end, when Curry came in and proclaimed that he wanted to say something, and she said she didn't want to talk.
There was so much wrapped up in that exchange. How to be a person, how we treat others, how to listen.
How to help people understand us, this episode touches on all of that.
I don't know whose side I'm on. I think...I just think...it's so good.
From a director's standpoint, it's a perfect episode.
It's gold.
I felt like we could be watching ourselves.
Sometimes we're just like them. We do things without considering others and they feel pressured to accept it.
The reason Curry brought the dog was just to say look, it's already here.
But you can't do that, you have to tell them first, you have to ask them.
The dog is innocent.
It wasn't the heart of the issue.
Yeah. And Carmon is what I would call an innocent guilty party.
She made a mistake, but she was innocent.
The reason this got so blown out of proportion was because of how Curry conducts himself.
If she says she doesn't like it, you should offer to take it away.
Or else say it's just for one night.
- He just has to get his point across. - He won't admit fault.
"I'm sorry" are the easiest words you can say, but he can't bring himself to do it.
He's acting the same way that Tianqi did last segment.
He's not willing to admit that he did something wrong.
- He won't even give an inch. - He's stubborn and overwhelms you with talk.
He forces people to do things against their will. He can't keep doing this.
I think he knows he's in the wrong and he's not trying to hide it.
He's just not willing to say he's sorry because he's reacting poorly to Yujie's anger.
Do people really get so obsessive about things?
- Yes. - You can plainly be in the wrong but keep doubling down on it.
- You try to explain yourself. - You can't let iet go.
- Later he was like, this is my son! - These are our children!
He thinks she doesn't respect his child.
He upgraded the dog's status from dog to child so he can say she had a bad attitude towards his child.
It's a plea to emotions.
With others it's all about his principles, but when it comes to himself he wants to talk emotions.
Don't you think that's a double standard?
When it came to the dishwashing incident, he was relentless about Nana washing the dishes
saying, "You have to do it, you were appointed to do it."
But with the dog incident, he says "well, I feel..."
That's his temperament. Whether it's towards others or himself, he acts like that regardless.
Exactly.
When I think I'm right, you have to accept that I'm right.
It's not a double standard. He only goes by one standard, and it's his own.
Others have to agree with whatever he deems important.
So we'll have to wait and see about Curry.
He may not be as principled as we thought.
- He's not endearing anymore. - You take it back?
- I changed my mind. - You change your mind so quickly!
A wise man submits to circumstances.
After they brought the dogs, I felt so bad for Yujie.
- If she really is afraid of dogs. - Poor Yujie.
Yeah, she was sandwiched between two dogs.
I'd like to say something about this Wang Tianqi fellow.
When he unkindly "fanned the flames," Teacher Yujie showed plenty of dignity.
Wang Tianqi was just kind of like...
Kind of like that.
Yujie kept her cool, saying: I'm not engaging. And she just left.
She didn't throw a tantrum.
- She toughed through a hell of a day. - Yeah.
She had a terrible day, and then she had to spend the evening with two dogs.
Surrounded by dogs on all sides.
Although no one knew how bad her day was, because she didn't say.
- Yeah. - She just said she didn't want to talk about it.
I want to talk about the other thing. Why did Curry suddenly transform from
such a logical person to a someone so influenced by his emotions?
I think it may be because the girl he's interested in was attacked by this other girl.
He wanted to show off his manliness, right?
Right. Wow, you really understand the male brain.
It really is like that!
If I'm drinking with Da Xun and we start arguing, we won't have any issues.
But if there's a woman by my side?
If you say, Da Xun, don't fight with Li Dan
Then, immediately!
Wow, you're so sharp.
In front of her, you can't lose, and you especially can't apologize.
- Apologizing is too embarrassing. - Agreed.
- So this was the explanation? - Yeah, it should be.
Otherwise he wouldn't so stubbornly refuse to apologize.
She didn't even let him say his two things.
How embarrassing, in front of the girl he likes.
Whether with the girl he's interested in, or with the dogs,
he lost face in front of everyone.
- He just couldn't let it go. - Right.
He cares about everyone except his roommates.
- Yes, exactly. - You agree?
Once he decides he cares about someone, everyone else becomes unimportant.
His stance immediately makes a complete 180.
Compared to the dishwashing incident he's like two different people.
Also, when he brought up that Yujie hadn't mentioned beforehand that she was scared of dogs
That was solely for Carmon, so that she wouldn't have any complaints about his stance.
In front of others, he wouldn't have even mentioned it, because he already knew he was wrong.
He only hopes that Carmon won't think poorly of him.
- He couldn't lose face.
You've lived with roommates, and you've lived in a dorm before, right?
I used to live with roommates, but lately I've been doing better, so I moved.
But before that I only lived with roommates.
Have you had arguments like these?
All the time.
Let me tell you, the less you know each other, the better it is to live together.
My roommate and I were pretty much strangers, so we didn't have any conflict of interest.
Every night we would arrive home and go to bed.
We didn't chat about anything and never bothered each other.
Even though I've never had roommates, I've traveled with people before.
When you're traveling with friends, you can't wait last minute to say where you're going or what the plans are.
Surprise!
That's not okay.
You need to communicate your plans so everyone can go together.
I think this is the most fundamental part of a communal lifestyle.
Exactly.
Let's see what happens with the fight the next day.
Get the popcorn!
I'm excited.
Come in.
- Hello! - How come you're here?
My training ended, so I wanted to come up.
Oh, okay.
I went to the room when I got back and Tianqi told me you guys just had a discussion.
And that you guys haven't been able to come to an understanding yet.
- Then let's talk about it when everyone's here. - Some people only want to talk and don't want to listen.
That's one of the reasons why I'm angry.
I get that.
Get some rest tonight.
- Yeah, you too. - Will do.
Let's resolve this tomorrow. Okay?
- Good night, see you later. - Good night.
Er Lang.
Er Lang, are you feeling unhappy?
That girl may not like you, but we like you.
Is that okay?
I'm asking you.
I'm talking to you.
Tonight we'll sleep in the garden, and tomorrow I'll try to convince the others.
I'm going to do my best.
How's that?
And then we can sleep inside.
Okay?
Is that okay?
It's going to be okay.
You're so good, they'll all love you.
Okay?
Come, give me a hug.
Good boy.
- The dog is unhappy to see his owner. - He wants to get out of there.
He doesn't want to be next to him. He's annoyed with his owner.
He's like, you've caused me too much trouble.
You've caused me so much trouble! Ugh!
Can't you speak properly to other people?
If I could talk, even I'd be better than you.
You don't even need to speak. Just go "arf arf" and it'll be a done deal.
Just give a little whine, and then it'll be done, okay?
No need to speak.
I even helped Yujie overcome a traumatic experience.
This last segment shows that Binshen will likely assume the role of a mediator between those two.
Yeah, I think he's very sensible.
I think he can help bring people together.
But I don't know. We don't even know Binshen very well.
He's too much of a mystery, this person.
Added up, we've probably only seen him for maybe a minute.
The most mysterious guest.
Still, I think he'll be able to communicate well with both the girl and the boy.
I think he can shoulder this responsibility.
These types of people with high EQ tend not to say much.
"I get you."
Ta-da, everything's good again.
-Active listening. -Agreed.
And, that's what she was trying to say, right? They weren't even trying to listen to her.
If you just show that you're willing to listen and that you hear her, then that's enough for her.
I get you.
It's respecting her feelings.
She even said she's not actually that scared of dogs, just that she felt disrespected.
Exactly.
In reality, it's not hard. Just say, I understand you and I apologize.
Most things can be resolved from that.
Many people can't bring themselves to say it.
She wants a logical reason for why he couldn't admit fault.
This world isn't logical and has never been logical.
I quite like Yujie.
Because I think the other two girls are both very avoidant.
She did a good job of defending herself. She has reason, strength, and integrity.
Really great.
Even when she was upset, everything she said was right. She's great.
Do you think the dog can stay?
- I don't think so. - I think so.
Because I think once Yujie cools down a bit, she's still a caring person at heart.
If she knows that the dogs aren't eating, they're not doing well, and
they won't be able to see their owners for months, she'll definitely consider those things.
She'll evaluate if she's okay with that.
I think the dogs might be able to stay.
I think they'll try it.
I also think they'll stay.
I think with Binshen's mediation, they will come up with a reasonable solution.
Maybe it'll be really nice for them!
Maybe they'll even set up a dog house.
They could set up a dog house.
You'll be so frustrated as you watch.
Maybe they'll have the dogs stay outdoors. I think that's a possibility.
Ever since the dogs made an appearance, it's caused quite a stir for us.
So for that reason alone, I think the dogs will stay.
Makes sense from a director's perspective!
It'll also encourage personal development from the castmates, you know?
These dogs are even better than Binshen at bringing everyone together.
I think it'll be important to see Curry's growth and he how manages the relationship between his dog and his friends.
