The ongoing Chinese romantic drama The Best Day of My Life, starring Jiang Zhinan and Zhang Jiongmin, released its first batch of episodes on July 25, 2024. As seen in the official trailer, the drama tells the story of Xu Mu (Jiang Zhinan), who meets her high school crush after many years. Episode one of this series focuses on the duo’s unexpected meeting.

In this episode, Xu Mu and Xie Shi are both stopped by the same street interviewer. But they miss each other by a few minutes. Xu Mu later meets her blind date, who turns out to be a big snob. She is repelled by his high demands and disrespect for a waiter. Viewers are introduced to Xu Mu's sensible nature when she buys ice for the waiter after spilling hot water on herself.

The episode then shows Xu Mu having dinner with a friend. Her mother scolds her for failing blind dates one after the other. Xie Shi is also at the same restaurant with his friend. He has a transfer to this new city. He is a workaholic who wants to go back to work the next day. As he goes to the cash register, he hears two girls calling his name. One of the girls says that she is over Xie Shi and wouldn’t even recognize him if he were standing in front of her. Xie Shi quietly leaves the restaurant.

Xu Mu arrives at the office the next day to find that they are having a meeting with a major client. The newly appointed president of the company, Jiang, is known to be picky and strict. As soon as he enters the meeting room, Xu Mu recognizes him. She is taken back to her high school days, when she first met Xie Shi, who had transferred to her school.
