"Why He's Still Single" tells an urban love story about "adaptation" rather than "taming". Yu Yu, a top interior designer, uses her poisonous tongue as her armor, living alone as her city, and lives her life like a precision instrument. He firmly believed that marriage was redundant to a good design. Until he met Gu Yejia, a rational physician.
Her world is made up of medical records and an order that prefers nothing to nothing. An unexpected shared space due to house renovation forced two souls who believed in being perfect alone to share the same space. From the rules of a bowl of instant noodles to the placement of a piece of furniture, behind the smoke-filled daily life is the fierce collision of two philosophies of life.
However, when Yu Yu was forced to face the entanglements of her original family, and when Gu Yejia was struggling to support herself amidst career difficulties and pressure to get married, they discovered that the other party's incomprehensible life logic had become their most solid echo against the noise of the world. This is not a story about who saves who, but about two stubborn adults who accidentally build a bridge for each other while dismantling the bricks of their own fortress.
What they ultimately have to answer is not "should I get married?" But "how to be together and still be myself."
