He Still Single? is an urban romance about finding compatibility, not taming someone. Yu Yu is a top interior designer who wears his sharp tongue as armor and his solitary life as a fortress, keeping everything as precise as a finely tuned machine. He believes marriage is an unnecessary flourish in an otherwise beautiful design. Then he meets Gu Yejia, an internist who puts reason above all else.
Her world is built around diagnostic reports and an orderly life in which she would rather have nothing than settle for less. An unexpected house-sharing arrangement, brought on by renovations, forces two souls who believe they are complete on their own to share the same space. From the rules around a bowl of instant noodles to where a piece of furniture should go, their everyday life is full of clashes between their fiercely held philosophies.
But when Yu Yu is forced to face the tangled ties of his family, and Gu Yejia struggles alone with career setbacks and pressure to marry, they discover that the other’s misunderstood way of life has become the strongest echo with which to fight the world’s noise. This is not a story about one person saving the other. As two stubborn adults take apart the bricks of their own fortresses, they unexpectedly build a bridge for each other.
In the end, the question they must answer is not “Should we get married?” but “How can we be together and still remain ourselves?”
