Literary version: I kept waiting on the surface of the sea for the whale meant for me. Eventually, one swam by, then left. Later, another came, and he left too. I don't want to keep foolishly waiting for a whale to find me. Maybe I should explore the ocean floor. Perhaps I'll find the one whale meant only for me.
Straightforward version: Down-on-his-luck young man from his mother's family x timid young uncle's wife
Young master from a Mexican [redacted] family x Chinese qipao designer
Genius dancer recovering from an injury x older, regressive screenwriter
Theme: Every encounter is a new beginning
