1
WHEN FIVE FORMER COUPLES
THAT ARE ALREADY BROKEN UP
SPEND A MONTH TOGETHER IN HOCANCE
I'm attracted to her.
If we can be together from now on,
I'd like to consider marrying her.
One day when we find love,
I hope we find it together.
THE FORMER COUPLES ARRIVE AT
I don't want to get back together.
I'm really annoyed.
It used to bother me before too.
I can't tell.
NEW LOVE? RECONCILIATION?
Love Transit Season 2 starts now! Yay!
RINO SASHIHARA
I was waiting for this.
AKIRA KAWASHIMA
Love Transit is
SHINOBU HASEGAWA
a program that features
ten men and women staying
Okay.
at a hotel away from home
and enjoying "hocance"
Okay.
while they try to find new love
or rekindle an old relationship.
Okay.
There's only one condition
for the participants.
They must participate with their former
girlfriend or boyfriend who we call "ex."
In other words, the participants are
Yes.
5 former couples.
To give everyone a fair chance
at love during the hocance,
they all must try to hide
who their exes are.
-They must keep it a secret.
-Yes.
On the final day,
they'll confess their feelings
to another member
whether it's someone they met
during the hocance or their ex.
Okay.
It's a documentary about
ten people in search of love.
Okay. Thank you.
There they are.
YUKIKO
She's pretty.
Yukiko.
MOMO
Momo.
She's pretty too.
MIZUKI
-Mizuki.
-Mizuki.
ERIKA
-She's beautiful.
-Yeah.
YUZUKI
They're all pretty.
THEIR XS WILL NOW ENTER.
GUESS WHICH ONE IS THEIR X.
I see, I see.
Impossible to tell.
Only they know.
But they have to pretend.
Yes, they pretend they don't know.
It's a fresh start.
MASATO
He's good-looking, Masato.
He's good-looking.
What kind of face is that?
-They avoid eye contact.
-What does it mean?
Who did he look at?
She's smiling.
She looks uncomfortable. It might be her.
Hello.
TAKAAKI
A clean-cut guy.
Yeah.
Huh? She's totally avoiding eye contact.
Wait a sec.
-This is confusing.
-Suspicious.
Maybe not her.
-Everyone has a small grin.
-Yeah.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
MASAYA
-He seems friendly.
-Yeah.
-Good looking.
-I bet he's popular with girls.
-He seems sweet.
-Well, what's going on?
Did you see how he averted his gaze?
Great weather today.
-Super great weather.
-It really is.
Someone had to break the ice.
Everyone's so nervous.
Finally we're speaking.
Yes, finally.
Thank you.
-Nobody was talking.
-It felt awkward.
Are you all nervous?
Not at all.
I was more nervous yesterday.
You were thinking about today.
-I only slept for 15 minutes.
-15 minutes?
I'm ready to pass out.
-She's sleepy.
-That's why she made that face.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
SEUNG-GI
Seung-gi?
Is he Korean?
Suddenly international.
He's someone's ex-boyfriend.
That's right.
We were talking about
how much sleep we had last night.
-Last night?
-How many hours did you sleep?
About two hours.
Same as you.
Me too.
Why so little sleep?
I just couldn't sleep.
-Were you nervous?
-I don't sleep a lot.
What's with her?
-The fifth guy.
-The last one.
Now everyone's here.
Hello.
Hello.
The last one.
Here he comes.
SEKAI
Sekai the Hulk.
Nice to meet you.
Sekai.
Huge.
A broad body.
Thank you for waiting.
How much sleep did you get last night?
I wake up at 5:30 every morning.
-Every morning?
-Every morning.
I went to bed at midnight,
so around five hours.
He's a short sleeper. He doesn't look so.
-I only slept for 15 minutes.
-Why? Why?
He looks so happy.
He has a happy aura.
He's filled with it.
-She has cryptic expression all this time.
-Yeah.
ONE WEEK AGO
The exes' reunion.
It's really exciting.
THE XS SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE.
They met beforehand?
-Before the hocance
-Really?
Just to say hi.
The editing keeps you guessing.
-We don't know who it is.
-Not yet.
It gets more confusing.
-Their expressions are so cute.
-Long time no see.
They are cute.
What a lovely gesture.
-Don't be fooled by this.
-Awkward.
We're fooled by this.
It's not him?
-It changes.
-I see.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing
if our friends see us?
Cheers. Long time no see.
You never told me that I was pretty.
Did you realize that?
-Did you think about me?
-I still have photos.
I don't think
we had to break up like that.
For me, it was the best way to break up.
I see
The reason why we broke up
There were more reasons than one.
Think carefully.
I want to get back together.
I can't imagine it now.
She's crying.
Was it a bad break-up?
Maybe she still has feelings for him.
They've got a mail.
ONE OF YOU, PLEASE READ OUT LOUD
THE LETTER ON THE TABLE.
-That one?
-Who's gonna read it?
Those of you in front of it, please.
Okay.
"There are the results
of the questionnaire
"you took the other day."
What kind of questions?
"The 10 tulips in the vase
on the table express
"in the language of flowers
your feelings before the hocance"
Different colors.
"about getting back together
with your ex."
"In the language of flowers,
a purple tulip means 'undying love.'"
Okay.
"A white tulip means 'new love.'"
-I see.
-Positive attitude.
Only two?
Everyone's positive.
"Please have a meaningful hocance
"so that you and your ex
can move forward in love."
It's sad for the ones
who want to reconcile.
Yeah.
RECONCILIATION - TWO
For those who want to get back together
TWO PEOPLE WANT TO RECONCILE
EIGHT PEOPLE WANT TO FIND NEW LOVE
The tulips' colors indicate
their current thoughts on reconciliation.
Yes.
Only two people out of ten
want to get back together with their ex.
The other eight are here
to find new love.
Erika kept saying
she only slept for 15 minutes.
And she was crying.
She was. So, maybe
She was really nervous about
seeing her ex again.
I think she's a purple tulip.
I think so too.
-Deep purple?
-Strong feelings?
If she's deep purple.
I doubt she can sleep.
-She can't think about new love.
-Right.
She looks like someone
who wants to reconcile.
I agree.
I wanna support her.
Everything looks good.
To our hocance.
Cheers!
Cheers.
Nice to meet you.
-Let's review the rules of the hocance.
-Okay.
They can't reveal their occupation
and age until instructed.
They can't intentionally suggest
who their exes are to others.
And as a rule during the hocance,
they must basically eat dinner
together during the hocance.
They can go to work if they have to.
I see.
In the hotel with over 50 floors
in Yokohama
PRIVATE ROOM
each person has a spacious room
with a kitchenette.
Common areas include a living room
with the main kitchen.
LIVING ROOM
A lounge with a view of the city at night.
LOUNGE
A gym with latest equipment.
GYM
-Sekai would be
-This is his realm.
This is his realm.
If you wanna see him, just go there.
I love craft beer.
-I collected the bottles.
-Okay.
I have over 100 bottles.
I heard a bell.
When Sekai was talking about craft beer.
Nobody seemed so interested.
Lucky for him.
He probably felt it.
OPEN THE FAKE CAKE ON THE TABLE
AND READ OUT LOUD THE ORANGE LETTER.
"Open the fake cake on the table
and read out loud the orange letter."
Fake cake?
The cake is fake.
-That one there, right?
-I can open this?
Please go ahead.
It's in there.
I get it.
I see.
I'm suddenly sober.
In an instant.
"An introduction about you
written by your ex."
It was written by their ex.
Introduction by their ex.
"One by one, read out loud
the introduction about you."
I'm so nervous.
First, Yukiko.
We do this now?
I know
We were relaxing and having fun.
So maybe it's the right time.
I'm nervous.
-Okay, can I?
-Go ahead.
Okay.
-Here I go.
-Okay.
Sekai looks kind of nervous.
"Yuki knows what she likes
and is bright and loving.
"She hates to lose
and is stubborn and a bit selfish,
"but she's so cute
when she wants to be coddled.
"She's active
and would plan things in advance
"for our dates and holidays,
"so it was a lot of fun
spending time with her.
"Her appearance and atmosphere
makes her seem headstrong,
"but she's actually fragile,
"and cares too much
about what people think.
"She shouldn't care about it so much
and just be herself.
"Lastly, the best thing about her
is she treasures her friends and family.
"I'm not good at writing letters,
"but I hope this tells you
what a wonderful girl she is."
Nice letter.
Thank you.
Can you write that about your ex?
It sounds like the last love letter.
Right. It's kind of sad to think
that they've broken up.
Right
Erika's turn.
Erika.
"She's smart and thoughtful.
"The moment I met her
"I knew she was witty,
had a good head on shoulders,
"and can handle her job well.
"Before I knew it, I found myself"
"Before I knew it, I found myself"
Definitely Erika is
She's definitely
She's purple.
I think she's purple.
"Before I knew it,
"I found myself following her with my eyes
"and getting attracted to her.
"I never told her this,
"but it's about the time I was taking
photos of her for social media.
"She chose a go-to social media photo
to post online,
"but as I kept pressing the shutter
"sometimes I captured
"her easy unaffected smile.
"I love that smile on her face.
"So I wonder why she's my ex-girlfriend.
"I want to talk to her heart to heart
and get the true answer."
He wasn't the type to compliment me
on my appearance.
It simply made me happy.
She wants to get back together.
It seems like he still
has feelings for her too.
-It sounds like "Let's get back together."
-Yes.
Okay, I'll read mine now.
"Takaaki is a responsible person
who goes the extra mile at his job
"and volunteers to do things
that nobody wants to.
"He's very kind and has lots of friends
"who love him and talk about him
even when he's not there.
"He helped me with things I'm not good at.
"Even when my cooking went awry,
he never complained
"and finished the whole dish.
"His family gets along with each other
and everyone is kind and warm.
"I loved them too and they made me
want a family just like theirs."
He introduced her to his family.
"I'm really happy that we can
spend more time together.
"I hope we both enjoy this experience."
That's it.
Purple tulip.
Purple.
I almost I really almost cried.
She saw beneath the surface.
She understood me inside out
and wrote about my family.
Well
It made me emotional.
RECONCILIATION OR NEW LOVE?
They're asking already?
-My feeling haven't changed.
-I see.
I want to find new love.
What?
Even though he was about to cry?
TAKAAKI IS "WHITE"
Confusing attitude. It's hard to tell.
At times they looks purple.
-Now we know Takaaki is white.
-Yes.
WHY DOES TAKAAKI WANT TO FIND NEW LOVE?
It was your fault.
-It was your fault.
-Oh my, he's a bit
He sounds a bit confrontational.
The tone of his voice.
It was sharp.
Choice of words.
My ex cheated on me
What?
A sudden twist.
She's pretty,
so naturally guys are attracted to her.
I tried to convince myself
that it wasn't her fault.
But I couldn't.
She cheated on him.
Yeah.
I felt like,
"How could you do that to me?"
I understand.
Yeah I guess.
I was close-minded.
I was so shocked.
She's crying.
My feelings for you cooled off.
-I
-Tears make her look guilty.
I didn't understand at all.
Things are moving on.
She's crying.
They're all crying.
Maybe they're all
One of them cheated on him, right?
He's really pissed off.
He really was.
He said, "It was your fault,"
as if they were in a courtroom.
True.
-He doesn't want to make up.
-Nope.
I shouldn't judge by appearances,
but I think it might be Mizuki.
-That's awful.
-What?
How could you tell?
I'm not sure, but she seems the boldest.
I don't think so.
She doesn't seem like she'd do that.
Really?
I don't want Erika to be a cheater.
I know what you mean.
If I was meeting my ex who I cheated on,
I'd only get 15 minutes of sleep too.
So it's her.
I'll be scared and cry.
It's possible.
So, in the letter
How could she sleep for 15 minutes.
-She shouldn't have slept at all.
-Agreed.
-To the after-dinner party!
-Cheers!
To the after-dinner party.
So
MASAYA
Any birthdays during the hocance?
Right.
Birthdays during the next month.
You!
When?
-It's Yukiko.
-Me too.
ERIKA
-Erika too.
-Mine's on the 11th.
-So soon.
-Wait, in three days?
YUKIKO
-In three days?
-Real soon.
Mine's on the 10th.
It's one day apart, then.
Two birthdays in a row.
Cool.
An event to spice things up.
Thank you.
I can't say how old I am.
-That's right.
-True.
I'll be a year older.
Really?
One day apart. Wow.
Wow.
YUZUKI
What's your type?
She touched him.
There she goes.
Yuzuki likes to touch.
I know what I want, but I can adapt.
He's watching them.
I could be selfish sometimes,
but I more or less go with the flow.
I wish I could be more assertive too.
I rarely can.
Nobody can today. The same for everyone.
She's closing in.
A fist apart.
A fist apart.
Takaaki looks dazed.
He doesn't like what he sees.
Right. He's not enjoying himself.
SEKAI
Can we talk?
Sure.
Erika.
In the lounge?
No, on the balcony.
-Afraid of heights?
-No, I'm fine.
Bringing your drink?
Yes, I will.
Can I borrow your jacket?
Of course.
-That's bold.
-It's cold outside.
Experts in romance.
True.
-Awesome.
-Wow.
So Do you girls still use
the polite language?
When five girls are talking?
Sometimes. How about you guys?
Not at all.
MIZUKI
Who's still inside?
Takaaki and Mizuki.
Did I make a face?
Oh Well
Wait.
What? Sekai said I did.
I was wondering what you were thinking.
A former couple!
No!
Mizuki and Takaaki.
You dozed off.
No, no way.
I saw you.
You're wrong.
Just you guys?
They were alone, but stopped talking.
Are you shy around strangers?
Yes, I am.
You're kidding.
I bet they are a former couple.
I really am.
You don't talk that much, do you?
That's true.
Right.
You seem like a nice guy.
He probably never says no.
Like a yes-man,
I think.
In a sense.
Huh?
They looked awkward.
Masato and Yukiko.
In the lounge. They'd make a good couple.
They do.
YUKIKO
MASATO
-Lots of memories of Yokohama.
-Really? Me too.
-No.
-I often
Shared memories of the two.
came here at Christmas time.
-Me, during middle school.
-Back then?
I'm from Yokohama.
That's why you have memories.
I guessed it wrong!
My ex and I
used to come here on our dates.
Okay.
That's why I have memories of Yokohama.
I see.
Like Chinatown.
Yes, Chinatown.
My ex and I got into a fight back then.
Right.
He was so angry and wouldn't say a word.
But we ate dumplings or something
in Chinatown
and his mood improved.
He finally started talking to me.
Really?
We used to fight a lot
over trivial things.
She's talking about her ex.
Yeah.
They're not a former couple.
That's right.
-Should we go inside?
-Okay.
Thank you.
-Thank you too.
-Excuse me It's undone.
Wait.
I don't know how to tie it.
Let's see. How did you tie it before?
Someone might be watching.
Want it tight?
Wait. Not too tight.
Don't strangle me.
How do I do this? A regular knot?
He's staring at her.
I think it looks good now.
-I think it's good.
-Cool.
I can't see, but that's cool.
-Thanks.
-Thanks.
They have good chemistry.
A good cook.
Who is it?
-Chopping carrots?
-So fast.
So fast.
So fast.
Fast.
He chops like a pro.
It's Seung-gi.
SEUNG-GI
He's awesome.
He's a great cook.
Definitely a great cook.
Seung-gi's my favorite now.
It's a clue to his job?
-For sure.
-Right.
You're here early.
Morning.
He looks like a pro.
He's a pro.
-I'm making breakfast.
-Really?
That's so cool.
Self-appointed cook.
Seung-gi!
I'm sure he was working out at the gym.
Yeah.
He looks very refreshing.
I'm not a cook.
He's not.
Good morning.
What are you making? Smells so good.
Breakfast.
What? Wow. Kinpira?
Awesome.
And it's kinpira. Awesome.
Wow.
He doesn't have to measure the portions.
Everyone's gonna fall in love.
You're seriously good.
With one hand.
AweSeung-gi.
AweSeung-gi.
-"AweSeung-gi."
-They're impressed.
He's gonna impress them more.
I almost went into the wrong room.
-They came together?
-Looked like it.
They should ask more questions.
-Thanks.
-No problem.
Maybe they just ran into each other.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Let me know if I can help.
Really? Will you taste this, then?
MOMO
Have you used such a big pan?
She naturally approached him.
No, right?
I have. Don't worry.
You have? Cool.
Nice. It tastes good. Yum.
-This is hard.
-It is.
Yeah, definitely.
It's an induction cooker,
so you can't toss the pan.
It looks so beautiful.
Wow!
Wow! Seriously?
It's like a hotel breakfast.
Amazing.
I love kinpira!
A JAPANESE BREAKFAST PREPARED BY SEUNG-GI
-Beautiful!
-Looks yummy!
He must be a pro.
But he said he's not.
What's his occupation then?
I'm so happy.
They seem closer.
Momo helped him so naturally.
She might be in the same profession.
-Or they used to be a couple.
-So good!
They're not supposed to show that.
This miso soup is so good.
A nostalgic flavor, maybe?
Momo-chan seasoned the miso soup.
She sure did.
He calls her "Momo-chan."
It's nothing special?
-It's not special.
-You're right.
Our imagination is going wild.
Give us a break.
We're reading things that aren't there.
Takaaki
He's acting weird.
I wish he'd stop it.
He's always like
He stares at people
who talk to each other like this.
He does.
He sure does.
By the way, Takaaki and Mizuki
What's with them?
I guess it's safe to say
they were a couple.
-She asked him about her face.
-Yeah.
And Seung-gi's occupation.
-Seung-gi!
-You really like him.
He was certainly cool.
-Seung-gi the cook.
-"Seung-gi the cook."
His skills were pro level.
-Yeah.
-He chopped fast.
He said he wasn't a cook, but he sounded
he was working in the fields.
Not a cook.
He said "he wasn't."
To someone,
the miso soup had a nostalgic flavor.
-That's right.
-That's nice.
When we weren't looking,
maybe Momo's ex glanced at her,
like, "This reminds us of those days."
A teardrop fell into the bowl,
making it a little salty.
What the hell is that?
That's such an outdated depiction.
Seung-gi the wistful.
-Hey, stop it.
-Stop.
Stop this Seung-gi talk.
-There it is.
-Where?
They're going shopping.
Nice.
Yokohama.
What do you wanna eat?
It's your birthday.
Erika is holding the tray.
-Anything I want?
-Erika is cute.
-I'll buy you anything you want.
-Yay!
Yuzuki looks cute in that outfit.
They're all stylish. Cute.
She's holding leeks. Cute.
Momo can definitely cook.
Mizuki is cute too.
-They're in teams.
-Yes, they are.
Those three people look like old friends.
Three people with strong personalities.
Birthday.
We'll get ready for the party,
so go wait in the lounge.
-Please do.
-The lounge? I see.
Okay.
-I see. To surprise the birthday girls.
-Let's go to the lounge.
It's gonna be fun.
I'm looking forward to it.
Cheers!
YUKIKO - ERIKA
I wanna hear their conversation.
-Yeah. What are they gonna talk about?
-This is good.
I like barley shochu too.
Really?
I always drink it with soda.
Me too.
Were your boyfriends older
or younger than you?
Well
Age doesn't really matter to me.
Older or younger than me,
I like guys who are boys at heart
who I can joke around with.
I know what you mean.
-Yeah.
-Like someone
with a child-like innocence.
Talking with Masato
MASATO
It was
a lot of fun.
I want to talk to him more.
I like Seung-gi.
Seung-gi? Really?
SEUNG-GI
-I'm surprised.
-Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, Seung-gi.
I'm so excited. I won't look.
Cute.
Happy birthday!
Sekai popped it over the soup.
He should've foreseen it.
Thank you!
With candles.
-Omelet with rice.
-That's nice.
That looks great. Who made them?
Seung-gi?
They'll slit the omelet.
So good!
Don't look this way.
It makes me smile.
The doorbell.
What? What?
You heard it, right?
I didn't imagine it, did I?
No.
The doorbell makes them nervous.
-Scary.
-Scary.
What? What? What is it?
Surprised. It's a letter, huh?
I see. We got this.
So, it was delivered.
-I see.
-I'm scared.
Maybe it'll trigger something.
It'll set something off.
What's written?
There are cards inside.
I see.
-Let me see, let me see.
-What is it?
There are lots.
Enoshima?
Wearing kimono in Asakusa.
A sunset date in Enoshima.
Date in Gaien-mae under ginkgo trees.
They are date venues.
A date at a Japanese Pub.
All sound like fun.
A Drive to Odaiba.
-What will they choose?
-I see.
-All look great.
-Yeah.
"Places filled with memories where
the men went on a date with their exes.
"The women must try to choose
a place that's not their exes' choice."
-Right. They know their exes' place.
-Yeah, correct.
I would choose the Japanese pub.
-For your date?
-Yeah.
With who?
-Seung-gi.
-Seung-gi again?
-Enough.
-Stop talking about Seung-gi.
Come on!
Rock, paper, scissors.
-So, one by one.
-They will choose one by one.
-They can't choose their ex.
-They have to try to avoid it.
The purples might want to
go out with their ex.
-To rekindle their relationship?
-Yeah, they might.
This "try not to" is ambiguous.
Okay.
A sunset date in Enoshima.
The sunset date is Sekai.
Yeah, it's possible.
-He probably loves the sun.
-I guess so.
Wearing kimono in Asakusa.
A drive to Odaiba.
The pub? No?
No.
She silently grabbled it.
She has a gloomy look.
She looks a bit crabby.
She's pissed off.
Something happened?
She was smiling before.
SCAN THE QR CODE ON THE CARD
TO SEE WHO YOUR DATE IS.
"Scan the QR code on the card
to see who your date is."
I see. That's how you know who.
WEARING KIMONO IN ASAKUSA
I guessed it right.
Seung-gi is Asakusa.
-I wanna go to downtown with Seung-gi.
-To Downtown with him. Okay.
Okay, got it.
-Really?
-That's a bit surprising.
Yeah.
A Japanese pub.
That's Masaya!
A DATE AT A JAPANESE PUB
Who is it?
No idea who chose what.
A DATE IN GAIEN-MAE UNDER THE GINKGO TREES
Who's this?
Takaaki.
Scary. That was scary.
So she wasn't his ex.
No. She wasn't his ex after all.
Erika.
Who's her date?
Sekai or Masato?
WHO GAVE YOU THE BEST FIRST IMPRESSION?
Erika.
I knew it.
He spoke to her.
She was smiling more than the other girls.
When?
She seems really friendly.
BEST IMPRESSION?
Erika.
She has a beautiful smile.
I'd like to get to know her better.
A DRIVE TO ODAIBA
It's Masato.
-Sekai is the sunset.
-We guessed right.
He loves the sun.
Sunset Sekai.
Masato must be happy.
He's disappointed.
I was so happy.
He got lucky.
I was psyched.
Masato is a hottie.
A SUNSET DATE IN ENOSHIMA
-Masato is hot.
-That means
Momo and Sekai.
-Nice.
-Yes, nice.
I thought it was Sekai.
I see.
I took a guess.
I like how he's straightforward
with the way he talks.
I like guys who can
articulate their thoughts.
Her ex probably wasn't like that.
To be honest
