Love Transit (2023) s01e01 Episode Script

1
I'm attracted to her.
I like you a lot, too.
I want to move on.
I asked him to join this show,
but not to get back together.
Do you remember why we broke up?
You're so annoying. Why bother?
Why are you mad?
I want to get back.
But I liked who you were.
Forget it. Sorry.
I don't know what to do.
I'll face my X and move on
with no regrets.
Thank you.
MY "X " AND I WAKE UP TODAY AGAIN
TO FIND OUR NEXT LOVE
Hello, everyone.
MAYU MATSUOKA
-Here we go.
-Nice to meet you all.
Nice to meet you, too.
RINTARO
DAIKI KANECHIKA
HAYATO ISOMURA
-We don't know the story.
-Right.
KAYOKO OKUBO
Not at all.
"While staying at the hotel
and enjoying an extraordinary life there,
10 people are trying to find love."
-That's great.
-"But we have one condition.
To join with their ex."
-We just saw "X."
-So, X doesn't mean a person they like.
Actually, no.
-It means their ex.
-Their ex.
X MEANS EX-BOY/GIRLFRIEND
So five former couples.
Yes.
I already feel awkward.
What a mess.
"On the last day, they will choose
their next love and confess.
"Will it be a new person?
"Or their ex?"
I see.
"We'll see their struggles
and love stories."
-There's a chance to get back together.
-Yes, that's possible.
There might be someone here
for that reason.
-I see.
-They can't
Because they can't forget their ex.
This might be a good chance.
I get it.
"Let's see how the new encounters
and reunions with Xs turned out.
Also, guess who is whose X?"
AMI
She's beautiful.
-She is.
-Yeah.
THE DINING ROOM
Fantastic.
Beautiful.
WELCOME TO LOVE TRANSI
"Choose a seat to sit in."
I see.
Seat
Which one? At the end?
I guess, at the end.
But would it be hard to chat?
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
MAI
Where shall I sit?
-Your choice.
-Really?
We can't talk about us
until everyone's here.
We can't introduce ourselves yet.
-We have to wait for the others.
-I see.
Excuse me.
-Nice smell.
-Yeah, what is it?
-I mean, it's you.
-Me?
You're so kind.
You are sweet and cute. That's not fair.
-It's a man.
-Yes.
I have butterflies.
I'm nervous.
-Suspicious?
-Wait.
-Is he
-What's going on?
He could be her ex.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
-You too.
-Hi.
Am I the first guy?
-Yes.
-You're the first.
-Nice to meet you.
-You too.
Same to you.
Can I sit here?
-Sure.
-Please.
KYOHEI
Restless?
Something on her mind?
-Hello.
-Hi.
Another man.
-Nice to meet you all.
-You too.
-Come here.
-Well, well.
So
Your choice.
-Any seat?
-Any seat.
MASASHI
Can I sit here, then?
-No choice.
-No.
-Right?
-Yeah.
I was going to sit in the middle,
but I chose this seat.
In the middle?
"To make a fair choice,
in order not to reveal their X,
they're pretending to be strangers."
So, they're acting.
They are pretending
as if they've never met before.
That's impossible.
They can't help
but show it on their faces.
-So nervous.
-I know.
-Staring at her.
-Staring at each other.
-It's like "Hey, you"
-They stared.
Hello.
-Hi, there.
-Hi.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you, too.
-Have a seat.
-Any seat.
-Any seat.
-Tough.
ERI
-Tough, isn't it?
-It is.
-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.
None of us knows each other's' names.
We're communicating without knowing names.
Not sure what to talk about.
-Hello.
-Hi there.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you all.
-Likewise.
-Nice to meet you.
Quite a few people.
So, you sit there.
-Another guy.
-Yes.
YOSHIHITO
We should chat
without revealing any details.
They seem like a match.
They have a similar vibe.
Would you like a glass of water?
There's some here.
I'll get some if you want.
-Like a bartender.
-Sweet.
-Nice.
-I want some.
-Me, too.
-In that case, I'll help him.
Have you been here long?
Is one bottle enough?
Yes, for now.
-They look comfortable with each other.
-Indeed.
Already?
You're hurt.
Yes.
It looks painful. Both sides?
Nothing bad. I'll tell you later.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Hello, there.
-We have a woman.
-Another woman.
ARISA
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
Everyone's so pretty. Hi, there.
-Here you are.
-Thank you. So thoughtful.
-So thoughtful
-Indeed.
All of us got some.
Quite a few people now,
-which means
-I guess so.
No point in guessing who is X, right?
-Guessing?
-All of a sudden.
Not like a quiz show, right?
-You're right.
-Not a quiz show, I believe.
So what's the point of having
all these exes together?
-I wonder why.
-There's got to be something.
-You're right.
-We've been through a lot, and we're here.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.
DAIKI
Choose your seat.
-It's difficult.
-The one at the end is open.
-We sat in the order we came.
-Okay, thanks.
Looks awkward.
What's wrong?
Let's talk.
Hard to chat
without knowing our backgrounds.
Hello.
-Hi.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
-You, too.
I'll do that next.
He'll serve water.
KOHEI
-Not much water left.
-Thanks.
The last woman.
-So exciting.
-Yeah.
Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.
Nice to meet you, too.
Nice to meet you.
We were waiting for you.
-We were.
-Thank you for waiting.
LUCA
-She is pretty.
-They all are.
-Beautiful.
-Yes.
Great.
-Bro
-You're serving water again.
-Thanks, bro.
-I don't mind.
Are you mixed?
-Looks like you are.
-Yeah.
Yes, I am.
-You're so pretty.
-So pretty.
Oh, my
Are we all here?
-Probably.
-Probably?
"How long they were together
and when they broke up vary."
-Okay.
-I see.
"Some broke up very recently.
Some did a while ago."
-I see.
-Okay.
"But they all had a complete breakup.
"And they reunited to join this project.
-Ding dong!
-Got something here.
It's a message.
TO MAKE A FAIR CHOICE,
FOLLOW THE RULES
AGE AND JOB CANNOT BE
DISCLOSED UNTIL INSTRUCTED
DON'T DISCLOSE YOUR X
OR ASK SOMEONE ELSE'S
THEY ALL HAVE THEIR X IN THIS ROOM
THEY WERE SECRETLY
UNITED A WEEK AGO
-There he is.
-He's coming.
-Who?
-Which guy?
Will we know who?
Hey, how are you?
Long time no see.
-What?
-What?
"The conversation has been edited
in order not to reveal their Xs."
We can't tell.
How have you been?
Nervous. Hang on.
Sorry I made you wait so long.
-You're looking lovely.
-Thank you.
Even though we broke up,
I wanted to see you.
You're very forward today.
We talked it over
and went our separate ways.
On the way home after breaking up,
I couldn't stop crying.
We'll pretend to be strangers at first?
I don't know how to behave.
Can I really do it?
I am scared.
I'm looking forward to it.
I might be able to find someone.
A new boyfriend. That's what I want.
Could you guess their Xs?
When Mai saw her X, she was so open.
-He must be the same kind of person.
-I see!
-Indeed.
-Right.
That face and her nature.
-Yoshihito?
-Yoshihito
-Maybe.
-I see.
But Luca and Kohei can't be a pair.
-Never know.
-We never know.
-Maybe easier once we know their jobs.
-Right.
I guess.
-Your favorite?
-Can I say?
Can I say it?
I love Kohei.
That side?
I don't mind. It's your choice.
I liked Kohei from the beginning.
Are you rooting for him?
He said he couldn't stop crying.
-He was saying that.
-He is cute.
I like Masashi the best.
-Really? You like him.
-Oh, Masashi!
He probably had a bad breakup.
-He doesn't seem like it, though.
-I see.
Like he didn't answer the door.
-Seriously?
-Wow!
-Wow!
-Looks delicious.
Roast beef?
-Yes.
-Awesome!
Some potatoes, too.
The basic rule is that
everyone eats dinner together.
You're free to do what you want otherwise.
-You can go to work, too.
-I see.
They have to see each other
no matter what.
That's right.
In a 50 plus-story hotel in Yokohama
PRIVATE BEDROOM
they're provided a bedroom
with a small kitchen.
Also there's a shared living room
with the main kitchen.
THE LIVING ROOM
The lounge with a night view.
THE LOUNGE
A gym with the latest equipment.
They can enjoy a luxurious life.
GYM
So much drama will happen in that lounge.
Where is your parent from? America?
-Can I say that?
-I'm not sure. Maybe not.
Both of my parents are from Osaka.
So you're not mixed.
-France and Japan.
-Seriously?
-I've studied in France.
-Really?
-Have you?
-I was in France.
-Where?
-In Dijon.
-My grandpa lives there.
-It's south France, right?
Do you speak both French and English?
I speak Japanese and English mainly.
I speak some French
and a little bit of Spanish.
Wow.
Aren't you cold?
Thank you.
I see.
-He's sweet.
-Look at him.
Well-mannered.
We'll know about your jobs
at some point, right?
I guess so.
I don't think you can guess.
My job either.
-Can you tell?
-What?
-Their jobs by their rooms.
-Yes.
Can you?
-No. I can't guess.
-Me neither.
I can tell that easily.
-Is that a boy thing?
-Interesting.
-Why?
-How come?
You can tell a job by looking at the room?
How come?
What? Got a message.
-Here we go.
-Now?
-So sudden.
-Now?
-What? Table
-What?
Didn't notice it.
-Not at all.
-Oh, God!
This one?
I didn't notice it, either.
PLEASE OPEN THE WHITE BOX UNDER FLOWERS
Well
-What?
-What is it?
That's it.
What?
I see.
-Oh, that one.
-That's it.
That one?
Everyone knows.
"Here is a letter written by your X.
Please read yours aloud in order."
-We'll have to read it ourselves.
-Oh, my
-Read a letter about me?
-Read your own.
If any bad things are written,
it'll be terrible.
-You can tell peoples' personalities.
-Sure.
"Daiki is competitive
and always tries to get good results.
I wonder why he cares so much
about winning or losing.
He isn't a cheater
and he tries his best all the time.
He is someone who values his family
and friends above all.
I always respect Daiki
and worry about him.
In order not to get hyperfocused
as he works too hard,
I hope he doesn't forget to take a break.
I'm looking forward to
spending time with him."
Wow.
I'm glad.
I'm so glad.
Especially, the last bit.
That she was looking forward
to spending time with me.
That's what I wanted to hear
the most today.
-He wants to be with his X again.
-Yeah.
He still likes her.
Here we go.
"She always thinks about others and
takes responsibility for what she says.
She has a global perspective.
She cherishes love
and all her friends like her.
Because she always showed me
her affection, I felt assured.
She's the most wonderful lady
in the world."
That's amazing.
Just a second.
"He is sensitive in a word.
He is very sensitive
to everyone's feelings.
He is earnest and responsible.
He has some weaknesses
and he is working on them.
He always falls sick
after finishing a deadline.
Whenever I was moody,
he asked me if he did something wrong.
He's a very loving person.
I felt that he should relax a bit more.
But that's why people trust him so much.
He has so many things that I don't have,
he shares them with others
and makes them happy."
Wonderful.
How come they broke up?
-I know.
-What happened to them?
Why did they break up?
That's his handwriting.
Nostalgic?
It has his characters.
I'm about to cry with happiness.
-Okay.
-Go ahead.
"Ami is a beautiful woman as you can see.
Because of her sweet character,
everyone around her is nice, too."
I'm so glad.
"She is also a fighter.
She might have a failure
but never gives up."
She has her own beliefs.
She tries something fun
rather than constantly worrying.
That's why I can keep fighting, too.
Ami has a beautiful heart.
So, I fell in love with her."
-Wow.
-Beautiful.
Wow.
-Wonderful.
-I'm about to cry.
Very nice.
Thank you.
-Beautiful, Ami.
-So beautiful.
That was great.
So happy.
"Because of her nice character,
everyone around her is also nice, too.
So many memories with her friends."
With all my friends
He was
very friendly to them
and always paid for them.
I'm so moved by finding
such a good person.
This brought back so many memories.
My turn.
"He is a leader.
He works hard to achieve his goals.
I've never seen anyone
be so hard on himself.
He will continue
to try and grow every day.
That's wonderful
and I respect him for that.
But that's only a part of him.
Maybe he doesn't show it enough,
but he is kind and cute.
It depends on him to show that
to someone else here,
but I still feel that
I don't want him to do that.
I think this is a good chance
to get to know him better."
Here we go.
"She is very beautiful
and also very attentive and feminine.
When our hands get dirty,
she always wipes them for me.
She is also very good
at dealing with men."
Not so impressed
"She sometimes acts cute around guys,
but when she loves you, she means it.
She is happy and very direct.
She tells you what is right or wrong.
If I was in trouble,
she gave me time even if she was busy.
She helped me a lot.
She's the warmest person I've ever met,
and I could tell her everything.
I loved her so much."
Beautiful.
Let's see
"The most impressive thing about him is
that he is so kind and sincere
not only to me but everyone around him.
Even on his day off, he studies hard.
He's proud of his work and very exuberant.
That's how I remember him."
I'm so happy.
"He also expresses his feelings
and tells you everything.
What kind of person
will he choose in the future?
Will he marry or not? I can't imagine it.
But whatever he chooses,
I'm sure he'll be happy."
Thank you.
That makes me nervous.
Okay. "Her smile is so beautiful
and it gives me such comfort.
She has never lied to herself."
Sorry.
"She is a wonderful and kind woman
who cares about others.
She never gives up on her dreams
and always encouraged me.
I appreciate her so much.
I loved her beautiful spirit
that makes other's happiness even greater
by rejoicing with them.
I hope that will be shared with you all."
I need a tissue.
I realized he knew me so well.
I really want everyone around me
to be happy.
That's how I feel every day.
I'm so
grateful to him right now.
Okay.
"He is funny and makes you laugh
even when you're feeling down.
He's fun to be with.
Whenever I was upset,
he always listened to me
and cheered me up.
Once he starts something new,
he keeps going,
so he's very patient at work.
We had lots of fights,
but he always apologized first,
so I could forgive him.
He is earnest, and he puts you first.
Because he is tall and handsome,
I think many girls will like him."
-That's it.
-Very nice!
I'm a terrible reader, so you're good.
-Thanks.
-No pressure now.
-He did it on purpose.
-So kind.
Sweet!
Don't worry about stumbling.
I'll read this while sitting down.
"Apart from her beauty
and successful career,
she is a hard-working person
with a kind heart."
Excuse me.
He is a "Handkerchief Prince."
How generous!
Of course I have one.
-Please use it.
-Thanks.
Okay. Slowly.
Take your time.
Why is she so emotional?
Was she so in love with him?
"There are many types of kindness.
I think she's someone
who always helped others,
not just talk about it.
She always looked out for her juniors
and they liked her a lot.
No matter hard her work got,
she was likely to deal with it
on her own
than ask someone to help.
She always lugged heavy books around
and is a voracious reader.
She studied so hard.
I think she's more mature than I am.
She seemed to be
a little unsure of herself,
but I think she' s very charming
and she'll make a lot of progress.
That's what I thought about her
and I still do."
I realize how sincerely he loved me.
I never thought he'd write this about me.
Because I work too hard,
I thought he'd say,
"She probably doesn't want
a relationship for now."
What can I say
It made me very happy.
I've cried in front of him
several times,
but I've never cried with joy.
I feel so strange.
WHO IS ERI'S X?
What? Is it gonna be revealed?
-What?
-Who is he?
Masashi!
The two of them?
-Long time no see.
-Yes.
Well
-Lost some weight?
-A little.
-Did you?
-Yes.
How have you been?
I've been good.
Oh, God
How about you?
I've been okay.
Good.
Been tough?
-Yeah, when I was busy.
-You seemed busy.
Well
There was a period when we didn't meet.
Our work places were near each other.
We were quite close by.
-Right.
-I thought I might bump into you.
-But we didn't.
-No.
I couldn't help thinking about that.
I felt the same.
Yes, pretty often.
-Right?
-Yes.
Will there be a chance
for this to go somewhere?
I wonder.
-Right?
-Yes.
-Shall we go?
-Shall we?
We used to say this often.
-"Shall we go?"
-Yeah, we used to say that.
"That sounds great. Shall we go?"
-We did it without thinking much.
-Yeah.
-Good memory.
-Yes.
-We had so many places we wanted to go.
-We did.
Sometimes, all of sudden.
This moment brings back memories.
Like "We had so many places
we wanted to go."
-We made a list.
-Right.
When I get invites
from museums or for events,
and you're the one I want to go with,
I feel upset.
Looking back at our old photos,
I wonder if I'll ever meet a person
like you. I sometimes feel like crying.
-I know how you feel.
-You do?
-That's hard.
-They still have feelings for each other.
Even though we hadn't seen
each other in a while,
I felt so comfortable with him again.
We had ups and downs.
But I appreciate her good sides,
so I enjoy our time together.
We pretend to be strangers, right?
What do we call each other?
-Masashi.
-Eri.
-Do you think I can do it?
-Can you?
Let's try.
Nice to meet you.
You, too.
I can't say it aloud.
I wonder
if we'll be okay.
Not sure if we can talk again.
Maybe not. Not sure.
If we both feel
we need each other again
It would be nice
to get back together.
-Maybe.
-Yes.
Not sure though.
The possibility isn't zero.
As for this show
-Yes.
-Without you,
I wouldn't have tried it.
How can I say this
You're the biggest part of my life,
both in positive and negative ways.
That's what you are to me.
So, I appreciate you so much.
It only seems true now.
Thank you, too.
THEY WERE TOGETHER FOR 3.5 YEARS
THEY BROKE UP 11 MONTHS AGO
Okay. Slowly.
Okay. Let's do a quick review.
"Masashi and Eri dated for three and
a half years and broke up 11 months ago."
-Okay
-We've found one of their Xs.
Yes.
They're close. Maybe,
no particular reason for breaking up.
-You're probably right.
-They might have wanted to move on.
Maybe Masashi decided to split up.
Nothing bad happened.
But he might have wanted
to meet another girl.
I see.
But Eri wants to get back with him.
-She believes in that possibility.
-We can tell it from her smile.
Right.
He's rather nice to her.
Sorry. I can't figure out men.
I realized it at 50.
I was so wrong.
-What a view.
-Wow.
-So beautiful.
-This is insane!
Is that a Ferris wheel?
What's that?
That's a Ferris wheel.
So, we see it from the side.
-Amazing.
-I wanna get on that.
Unbelievable!
Oh, really?
Excuse me.
All got a glass?
-There she goes.
-Next to him.
-She's got it.
-I see.
-That's right!
-We know about them now.
Tell us where you live,
your siblings and blood types.
We can tell from those.
Let's ask Masa.
I have two sisters.
-You look like you have sisters.
-I can tell.
Really?
I grew up surrounded by women.
-Looks like it.
-You seem to be thoughtful.
Does anyone have a birthday soon?
-Right.
-Anyone?
Mine was two days ago.
Happy belated birthday.
-Let's celebrate.
-Really?
-Let's make a plan.
-Let's do it!
Wait! Fireworks!
Look.
Wow!
At Yokohama Stadium.
-Let's take a picture.
-I'd love it!
Can you set the timer?
Good. Where should I be?
There?
-Come here.
-Okay.
Here we go.
-Are you in the frame?
-I think so.
-Isn't it too obvious?
-Hey
See you tomorrow.
Good night.
I was the second to arrive, so
-Yeah, I was really
-Thank you.
Good night.
Good night.
-Thank you, guys.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-This way, right?
-Yes.
-Finally started.
-Right.
I wonder what will happen.
-Be yourself.
-You know
I just want to talk to everyone
for a while
-and get to know each other.
-I agree.
A message?
-Really?
-Can you go check?
Sure.
You'd better check it.
We've got a message.
Wait. Not sure.
What is it?
What now?
"Please send a message
to your love interest,
without your name."
-Really?
-Anonymously?
They're assisted like that.
-That'll reveal a lot.
-On the first day?
PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE
TO YOUR LOVE INTERES
WITHOUT YOUR NAME
WILL YOUR NEXT PARTNER BE YOUR X? OR
Maybe no message.
If not
-Right.
-I see.
You'll know your X
isn't interested in you.
MAI
RELAXED RATHER THAN NERVOUS.
THANKS
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
KYOHEI
THANKS FOR YOUR LETTER.
LOVED I
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
LUCA
WISH YOU A GREAT DAY
TOMORROW AGAIN
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
-All right. Let's go.
-Yup.
KOHEI
What?
He didn't get any!
NOT CHOSEN BY YOUR X
DAIKI
HOPE TO TALK BY LOOKING
AT EACH OTHER MORE TOMORROW!
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
YOSHIHITO
LOOKING GREAT IN YOUR SUI
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
ARISA
SORRY THAT I COULD NOT WRITE
A TOUCHING LETTER
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
AMI
-She's got two.
-Yes.
THANKS FOR YOUR LETTER
IT WAS NICE TO TALKING TO YOU!
Wait
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
Who is it?
MASASHI
THANKS FOR TODAY!
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU TOMORROW!
CHOSEN BY YOUR X
ERI
She was not chosen.
NOT CHOSEN BY YOUR X
What a surprise.
That's tough.
But he said "It would be nice
to get back together."
He wants to move on and meet a new girl.
Not a bad thing, you know?
-Poor Kohei.
-That was awful.
-No messages.
-Nothing.
-Your favorite.
-Yeah.
-Never imagined.
-You're rooting for him.
Oh, man
"They sent a message
to their love interest.
Most of them got a message from their Xs.
Except Kohei and Eri.
That means,
Masashi sent it to someone else.
It must be Ami who got two messages.
Masashi got one from his X
-and the other one is unknown."
-Yeah.
"It must be from Kohei's X
as Kohei didn't get any messages.
How come Masashi didn't choose Eri?
What will happen to them?
Please wait for the next development."
Do you remember why we broke up?
To be honest, I knew it'd be you.
So I'm happy.
They're getting closer.
THEN
WHEN NEW X IS REVEALED
They're shuffling.
I liked who you were.
