A Mature Romance between Wallace Huo and Zhu Zhu in modern drama Why Is He Still Single?

Why Is He Still Single? (他为什么依然单身) is a remake of Japanese drama He Who Can’t Marry (結婚できない男) starring Abe Hiroshi back in 2006.

Synopsis per Wetv: A story about a man who seems eccentric but is, in truth, kindhearted, and how the world ultimately accepts him. Through the portrayal of a man with extreme quirks, the film delivers endless humor and sharp banter while prompting reflection on human nature and our relationship with the world. He’s a man who loves life but, in his forties, declares himself a “non-marrier”. Is he the adored male idol surrounded by admirers, or the straight man women steer clear of? Is it that he doesn’t want to marry, or can’t? When this quirky bachelor finally meets the woman of his dreams, how will he handle it and will he win her heart in the end? As the saying goes, “There is no fixed flavor in food; what suits the taste is the best”. Likewise, there’s no man who truly refuses marriage, only one who hasn’t yet met the right match.

If not needed, she prefers to stay indoor (sounds like my kind of girl). But her other mission is to collect the “pearls”. Sorry, unsure how to translate that. During this trip, she’s attacked by an unknown person, whose kung fu is on par with her. Determined to investigate, she’s led off track and meets our male lead.
