How it's used
This title is a classic example of how Hong Kong TV drama titles often use idiomatic expressions or puns. The phrase plays on the idiom 千里姻緣一線牽, which suggests that fated lovers are connected by a single thread, by replacing the end with a phrase about taking a wrong turn. It reflects the lighthearted and comedic nature of the plot involving the main characters.
