His and Her Love Puzzle

• Romance

• Ep. 1
• Ep. 2
  In the opening scene of the play, Joanna, feeling a strong sense of duty towards her marriage to Gavin and his merchant family, bluntly states her intention to have a child, as indicated in subtitle 1. Gavin, still haunted by a tragic fire from three years prior, coldly dismisses her proposal in subtitle 2, suspecting her of being the cause of the disaster. Throughout their tense conversation, Joanna pleads with Gavin to complete their "task" of having a child, as seen in subtitles 4 and 5, to which he remains indifferent, suggesting he will not interfere with her life afterwards, as shown in subtitle 6. Joanna, unaware of Gavin's hidden feelings and fearing he might be plotting against her, tries to negotiate terms, highlighted in subtitles 8 and 10. Gavin's resistance is clear in subtitle 15, where he adamantly refuses her request, and in subtitle 17, where he demands she leave. The dialogue becomes more heated as Joanna, in subtitle 20, reduces the importance of having a child with her, suggesting it's not a unique demand. The conversation takes a turn for the absurd when Gavin's brother jokingly offers to help, as seen in subtitles 24 and 25, and the situation escalates with the mention of燕姐, indicating a figure of authority, in subtitle 30. The tension peaks when Gavin, in subtitle 38, decides to take Joanna home, demanding she wash away the scent of other men from her body. The final subtitles, 40 and 41, reveal a moment of concern for Gavin's state of mind, while subtitle 47 introduces a sudden and unexpected physical reaction, possibly indicating a deeper, unacknowledged emotion.
