  • Hi, Mystery Recapped here. Today, I am  going to explain a Chinese comedy drama film  

  • calledHow To Train Our Dragon”. Spoilers  ahead! Watch out and take care!  

  • Jackson is a six-year-old kid who is  in love with his classmate. One day,  

  • he presents her with a marriage certificateasking her to sign it. When the girl refuses,  

  • he offers her two movie tickets in  turn for her to be his wife. She  

  • signs the papers but uses the tickets  to go on a date with another boy.  

  • Jackson has five elder sisters who are  overprotective of him. Seeing him heartbroken,  

  • they vow to protect him from the female gender  for the rest of their lives. The scene shifts  

  • fifteen years into the future. Jackson has grown  up to become a handsome man but with no privacy  

  • from his sisters. We are also introduced to  all five of his sisters. The youngest, Lily,  

  • is in the same class as him. Then, there is  Violet who is a member of the archery club.  

  • She often uses her skills to make Jackson do  what she wants. The third sister is a computer  

  • hacker named Heaven. She breaks into the school’s  security system to keep an eye on her brother.  

  • The second eldest sister is Melody, she is the  teacher of the high school Jackson goes to.  

  • Lastly, the eldest one is SaraShe is the short-tempered one who  

  • everyone is scared of. Their parents divorced  a long time ago, leaving the girls to take  

  • care of each other and their brother. One day at school, Jackson is tired of being  

  • followed around by his sisters. His friend makes  him a camouflage suit to help him hide from them.  

  • Jackson ends up inside a girl’s shower  room locker in an attempt to camouflage.  

  • But a new girl named Meng finds him there  and takes him to the academic affairs office.  

  • Jackson doesn’t mind getting in trouble as long  as his sisters do not know anything about it.  

  • After school, he nervously walks home, hoping that  the second eldest sister, Melody wasn’t informed  

  • by the administration. When no one mentions the  events of the day, he sighs with relief. But  

  • during dinner, Melody casually mentions him being  found in the girlslocker room. Everyone looks  

  • at the eldest sister Sara who turns red in angerIn the following scene, they are dragging Jackson  

  • across the floor. He is hung upside down and  asked what he was doing in the girlslocker room.  

  • The girls have forbidden him to make contact with  any girl in an attempt to keep him from getting  

  • his heart broken. Although the method is a little  extreme, they think it is the best for Jackson.  

  • However, he doesn’t share their  views. For the first time in his life,  

  • he retaliates and claims that he needs to date  a girl someday. Sara composes herself before  

  • challenging him to find a girlfriend who would  match all his sistersenergies. The task is  

  • difficult but Jackson is willing to take on it. The next morning, he makes a board advertising the  

  • vacancy for a girlfriend. His friend suggests  he talk to the new girl Meng because she seems  

  • to be the type who wants to help everyone. A  montage shows us, Meng, helping people with  

  • the things they don’t really need help withJackson agrees to make her his girlfriend but  

  • has no experience in talking to girls. Hence, his friend acts as a wingman and goes  

  • to Meng to boast about Jackson. He calls Jackson  a victim of his sisterstorture and lists out all  

  • the things that the girls have done to him. After  hearing the stories, Meng feels sympathetic.  

  • She walks toward Jackson to make  friends with him but changes her  

  • mind on looking at him closely. Suddenly, someone spreads the news about  

  • a wild bear attacking the students. Jackson  plays the hero and pretends to save everyone  

  • but it turns out the bear is a stuffed  toy. Even the toy pushes him down the  

  • stairs which ends him in a hospital. In the following scene, Jackson wakes up and finds  

  • himself on a hospital bed with Meng by his sideAlthough the plan didn’t work as he wanted it to,  

  • he gets to spend more time with Meng. She tells  him that she wants to be his friend out of pity.  

  • Then, two of Jackson’s sisters arrive and start  bullying him for not taking care of himself.  

  • This angers Meng and she orders them to  stop. As the girls look at her in shock, she  

  • introduces herself as Jackson’s girlfriend. A sick  Jackson jerks up in surprise at the comment.  

  • At home, his sisters subtly ask him if he really  has a girlfriend. He just smirks at the question  

  • and doesn’t give them a definite reply. That is  until the eldest sister Sara asks him and he has  

  • to tell her about Meng. The sisters again tie him  upside down, not believing he was able to get a  

  • girlfriend in a day. Jackson insists that it was  love at first sight but the girls do not buy it.  

  • Still, they decide to judge Meng’s eligibility to  see if she is good enough for their brother.  

  • The following day, Violet, Melody, and Lily come  to the school like it is their battleground.  

  • When Jackson and Meng are together, Violet tries  to shoot her with an arrow but Jackson stops it  

  • just in time. Meng notices this and calls the  girls out for being cruel. They stand face to  

  • face, challenging each other. When Violet’s method doesn’t work,  

  • Lily takes the matter into her hand. She  blackmails all the handsome guys in the school  

  • to approach Meng and asks her out on a dateShe hopes to waver Meng’s love for Jackson but  

  • the plan fails miserably. Jackson helps Meng get  away from the guys. As they run down the corridor,  

  • Violet spots them from the other side of  the school and is about to shoot again.  

  • But this time, she accidentally hits an explosive  that someone threw in the air right before.  

  • It causes an explosion mid-air that thankfully  doesn’t harm anyone. While everyone is confused  

  • about what caused the explosion, we see  a man in a chemistry lab preparing more  

  • explosives. His motive is unclear but he  seems to have saved Meng from Violet.  

  • After the disaster, Jackson and Meng come  to the terrace and enjoy popsicles together.  

  • Jackson finds out that Meng is pretending  to be his girlfriend because she thinks his  

  • sisters are trying to steal his organsHe doesn’t correct her, deciding to keep  

  • her in the dark for as long as he can. At home, Lily and Violet embarrassingly admit that  

  • they failed. Heaven, who is good with computerstakes the responsibility to end Meng’s reputation.  

  • She collects random CCTV footage of Meng from  school and makes up a lie about her being a  

  • horrible person. Right before she uploads it on  the internet, the power goes out. We see that the  

  • guy from the chemistry lab is outside their houseHe is the one who cut the power to save Meng,  

  • but his true intentions are still unknown. Inside the house, the three sisters who failed  

  • kneel in front of the second oldest, Melody. It  is now her responsibility to get rid of Meng.  

  • The following day, she challenges Meng tosports meet. They go against each other in  

  • a staring competition and a goldfish  collecting challenge. Both of which  

  • Melody wins and shows Meng her place. They are about to compete for a final round  

  • when the eldest sister Sara arrives. She  introduces herself before challenging Meng  

  • for a match of the hammer throw. They have to  throw a heavy metal ball as far away as possible.  

  • Using her exceptional skills, Sara levitates  the ball mid-air. When it is her turn to throw,  

  • she picks up another ball from the standWe notice that a key comes out of the ball,  

  • revealing that it was spiked with an explosive  that is about to go off any second.  

  • Meng notices this and snatches the ball away from  Sara before throwing it away. When it explodes,  

  • Sara realizes that her life was saved. She starts  to like Meng which makes the other sisters respect  

  • her as well. Jackson runs around the fieldthanking God for bringing Meng into his life.  

  • The scene is followed by a montage of Jackson and  Meng spending time together. They go on several  

  • dates, finally converting from a fake couple  to a real one. As they get to know more about  

  • each other, they like each other even more. On one of their romantic dates, they go to an  

  • empty beach and spend the night together. In the  morning, they playfully fight and hug each other.  

  • Throughout all this, the chemist guy is spying  on them. The hug makes his blood boil in anger  

  • but he doesn’t do anything at the moment. The next day at school, the youngest sister  

  • Lily and Jackson are together. Lily openslunchbox that has been fitted with an explosive.  

  • Suddenly, a loud explosion shakes the entire  school. Jackson is fine but Lily has to be  

  • given CPR to be brought back to consciousnessThankfully, it was only a chemical explosion  

  • and everyone is safe. Meng notices Jackson  and his sisters huddled together in fear and  

  • realizes how much they love each other. She walks away from the scene and is followed  

  • by Jackson. They bump into each other but Meng  completely ignores him and the fact he could have  

  • died earlier. Jackson is confused and heartbroken  but he doesn’t ask her what is wrong.  

  • In reality, Meng has figured out that the bad  things happening to Jackson and his sisters  

  • only started when she started dating him. She  thinks she brings a bad omen into their lives  

  • and decides to stay away. Jackson tries to talk to  her repeatedly but she continues ignoring him.  

  • One night, it rains heavily in the town. Jackson  is at home when he sees the news about the flooded  

  • streets. He remembers that Meng was in the school  waiting for the rain to stop when he last saw  

  • her. He immediately rushes to school to find  her struggling to stand up because of the rain.  

  • Jackson hugs her, asking her  to return to her normal self  

  • but Meng reluctantly pushes him aside. It turns out that she is about to transfer  

  • schools again and wants him to stay away from her  until then. A hurt Jackson stays under the rain

  • He mistakes the person for Meng and hugs them. But it is the man who has been creating the  

  • explosives until now. He tases Jackson and abducts  him. That evening there is a party at the school.  

  • Everyone is enjoying the live music  and show while Meng sulks in a corner.  

  • The sisters are tense because of Jackson’s  absence. They try their best to catch him

  • everyone and has no friends. He fell in love  with Meng at first sight and was always around
