Meet Gunther, the Friends megafan who owns and operates an exact replica of Central Perk in Beijing.
The coffee shop has everything from Chandler and Joey's favorite TV show, Baywatch, to the Lionel Richie album Chandler listened to after breaking up with Janice. He also made a replica of the famous frame on Monica's door.
There's even an in-house cat named none other than Smelly Cat.
Gunther started watching Friends after going through a bad breakup, and he was instantly hooked.
He found his "Rachel" and he even named his little boy Joey!
But Gunther isn't the only Friends superfan. Groups of buddies in China live their lives through the TV show and meet up at Central Perk daily.
This Joey even has his own Hugsy!
Gunther said, "We all want to live this dream and never wake up."
