Seoul [South Korea], February 23: In episode 1712 of the show "You Want to Date? " , Quyền Linh and Ngọc Lan matched Le Quang Hiển (24 years old, from Lâm Đồng), currently a sales engineer for scientific equipment in Ho Chi Minh City, with Phùng Thảo My (25 years old, from Hanoi), a project manager for a media and advertising company in Ho Chi Minh City.
Right from the introduction, Quang Hien impressed Quyen Linh with his mature appearance, strong personality, ambition, healthy lifestyle, and love of sports. He had a college romance that lasted nearly two years, but after the Covid-19 pandemic and family and financial difficulties, they gradually drifted apart and decided to end the relationship.
Meanwhile, Thảo My charms others with her cheerful, energetic, and positive personality. She was in a four-year relationship during her college years, which ended due to differences in future aspirations. After nearly three years of being single, Thảo My registered for a dating show hoping to find a suitable life partner.
Sharing her standards for a boyfriend, Thảo My hopes for someone good-looking, charismatic, mature, and family-oriented. Conversely, Quang Hiển believes that appearance isn't the most important factor; what he seeks is independence, the ability to support each other, and the capacity for mutual growth in life.
Attending the dating show to support Quang Hien, his younger brother created a hilarious and awkward situation. Instead of offering support, he casually exposed his brother's flaws: "My brother has many jokes that don't seem human. He's also a womanizer; every girl seems to be head over heels for him," leaving the two MCs and the female contestants stunned.
This "own goal" left Quang Hien speechless, sweating profusely, and threatening to go home and cut off his younger brother's food supply. While Ngoc Lan wittily teased him about this unexpected "exposure," MC Quyen Linh quickly asked to take back the microphone from his younger brother because "if he says any more, I won't be able to play matchmaker anymore." At the same time, the male MC didn't forget to reassure the girl: "He's still young and naive, he was just joking, don't take it seriously."
The engineer sang and confessed his love, and the girl was smitten from the first glance.
As the barrier opened, Quang Hien prepared a small gift and even showcased his musical talent by singing a short song he had composed himself as a gift for Thao My. Although slightly nervous, his sincere performance received much applause from the audience. In response, Thao My recited a spring poem she had prepared, likening their encounter to a new destiny.
From his initial impression, Quang Hien remarked that his date was an energetic girl with an artistic soul. For her part, Thao My admitted that the guy was "exactly her type," making her feel a thrill from the moment the barrier opened.
During their discussion about marriage, Quang Hien stated that men need to shoulder family responsibilities, but he still hoped that both partners would share and support each other. Thao My agreed, emphasizing that she desires a partner who is always family-oriented and knows how to balance work and life. Both agreed that now is a suitable time to get to know each other, date, and if things go well, they could consider marriage after 3-4 years.
At the decisive moment, Quang Hien took the initiative to press the button first, anxiously waiting for a signal from the other party. Not long after, Thao My also agreed to go on a date. The couple officially tied the knot amidst applause and blessings from the two MCs and the audience, opening a new journey full of hope for both of them.
