This Chinese Reality Show Films Ex Best Friends Facing Off

Lately I have been watching a Chinese reality show that puts ex best friends on a trip together and films what happens. It is Mango TV's I Miss You (后会友期), and the pair I follow most is Xu Fei and Li Na, who stopped speaking fifteen years ago. I ran them through the matching model Introvrs uses every night. They are a 72 out of 100 match, and some of the report surprised me.

How Compatible Are Xu Fei and Li Na?

Very, on paper. The model gave them 72 out of 100 and summed it up like this: both of them "prioritize authenticity over hearsay," both love music, and their opposite styles, Xu Fei's depth and patience against Li Na's humor and directness, "could balance each other well." It pictured them swapping playlists, sharing snacks and iced drinks over text and singing together online. Here is how it scored each part:

Life stage7/10Both women in their early 40s
Practical fit9/10Both are happy to talk online, often
Unique spark6/10Small food rituals: sunflower seeds, duck tongue, McDonald's

Where Do Xu Fei and Li Na Get Stuck?

Conflict. Our code compared their answers to five personality questions, with no AI involved, and the two of them matched only 43% overall. Conflict style came out at 33%: when something is wrong, Xu Fei says "it's fine" and holds it in, and Li Na says it right away. One held it in for fifteen years; the other said it and moved on.

Sense of humor33%Li Na is the goofy one, Xu Fei is drier
Conflict style33%Li Na talks it out, Xu Fei lets it slide
Support style67%Both show up when things get heavy
Who reaches out50%They would take turns making plans

The model also writes a private note that members never see. Its note on these two: Xu Fei takes years to build closeness and avoids conflict, Li Na processes and moves on quickly, and that difference in pace "could create frustration if not openly acknowledged." That is pretty much what the first episodes show. Research backs up why it matters: a study by Thayer and colleagues (2008) of 246 teens found that avoiding conflict went with more tension in a friendship, while solving problems together went with more closeness (Journal of Youth and Adolescence).

What Should Xu Fei and Li Na Talk About First?

Music. Every Introvrs match comes with conversation starters written for each person, and both of theirs point the same way:

  • For Xu Fei: playlists, and what song gets saved first; McDonald's and a comfort-food ranking; singing, casual or on stage.
  • For Li Na: what you are both listening to right now; folk taste against pop taste; the old roommate and which snacks she picked.

The advice was specific, too. It told Xu Fei to let Li Na throw paper balls at her and just laugh, because playing around is how Li Na shows she likes you. It told Li Na to let Xu Fei bring up the deep stuff when she is ready, and to share a snack early, because for Xu Fei sharing food is how closeness starts. Xu Fei's fun fact stuck with me: for fifteen years, the snacks she buys have been the ones her old roommate used to love.

Will Xu Fei and Li Na Make Up?

The matching model only answers whether two people click, not what happens next, so this part is my own take. On the show, Li Na said things would ease but they would not become friends again. And yet they were the only pair who both chose to stay on the trip. After fifteen years of silence, easing is already a big step. The New Year's Eve duet people keep talking about is a rumor; nothing has been confirmed.

What Do Their Star Signs Say?

Xu Fei is a Scorpio, born November 11, 1985, and Li Na is a Pisces, born February 23, 1983 (per Baidu Baike and public reports). Two water signs form a trine, which astrology treats as an easy match: both read feelings well without much explaining. The friction is in how they handle hurt. Scorpio wants the truth and does not forget; Pisces tends to step away and move on. My advice: Xu Fei could ask "why did you think that back then?" instead of keeping it in, and Li Na could stay for the whole conversation this time. Then they can go get McDonald's together.

What Is I Miss You, the Chinese Friendship Reality Show?

I Miss You (后会友期, also called See You Again, Friends) is a Chinese friendship reality show on Mango TV that reunites friends who fell out. Think of it as the friendship version of See You Again (再见爱人), the Chinese reality show that sends couples on a trip before they decide whether to split. Four pairs of celebrities who used to be close friends spend 18 days traveling together across the plateau, from Zhangye through Lhasa, Bomi and Nyingchi (Baidu Baike). Nobody is forced to make up, and a pair that does can leave early. It started on October 22, 2026. Xu Fei and Li Na became friends on the 2006 season of the singing contest Super Girl (Sixth Tone). The other pairs are Zhang Meng and Ma Tianyu, Wen Jier and Wang Zixuan, and Qingzhi and Bai Xiaochun, whose report I ran too: Qingzhi and Bai Xiaochun scored 84/100.

How Did I Make This Report?

Since neither Xu Fei nor Li Na could take the quiz, I answered the real Introvrs Bestie questionnaire for each of them, working from public coverage of the show and what fans have pieced together. I then ran their answers through our nightly matching code and model, 10 calls in all, and saved nothing to our database or sent it anywhere. The star-sign reading and my guess about a reunion are my own words, not the model's.
