PLEASE CHECK YOUR MAILBOXES OUT FRON
TODAY'S DATING NEWSLETTER IS HERE
It says to open the mailbox.
[Ji-yeon] No way! Quick, get over here.
-[Do] Why?
-It says to look in the mailbox.
There's a Dating Newsletter inside.
-[Do] Really? Just a sec.
-Hurry, let's go look!
[Do] The mailbox?
That red thing we saw outside?
[Han-na] Wait? What's a Dating Newsletter?
[Eun-ji] What is it?
-[Do gasps] What's that?
-We got something. We each got a letter.
-What is it?
-[Ji-yeon] I'm gonna read it inside.
[Do] Okay, yeah, let's go. [exclaims]
[Do gasps]
[music fades]
[laughing]
Who was your Cupid?
Um, it was Eun-ji.
-Right, we both had her.
-She was my mentor too.
[gasps] Oh!
Ah.
Mine says, "Do, please remember
to be a good listener,
and remember to show off
your bright and bubbly charm."
-[Ji-yeon gasps]
-[Do exhales]
This is kind of touching.
-I know, right?
-Yeah.
-Hey, you're here.
-You saw it?
-You look in the mailbox yet?
-Yeah, I brought it in. What did it say?
Car, the garden wrote to me.
He says,
"You did a great job with your diet."
"Keep doing your best."
Something like that.
I HOPE YOU FIND A FUN DATE
PS: DON'T THINK OF YOUR DISLIKES ABOUT HIM
This is so touching.
[Jae-yun] I read it several times.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO TALK
YOU'RE TOO CHARMING TO BE QUIE
It gave me a confidence boost.
DON'T OVERTHINK
DISPLAY YOUR CHARM
-[Han-na] You put so much in that letter.
-[Car] Yeah, you did.
Like you were writing
to a son who's in the army.
-I had so much to say.
-[Eun-ji] Right, right.
I wanted to help guide them, you know?
[chuckling] This is so cute.
"Entrance pass to the 5 Minute Library."
-What? I didn't get that.
-Really?
[gasps] Whoa!
-[Car] "5 Minute Library?"
-Huh?
TICKET TO THE 5 MINUTE LIBRARY
YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED OF TIME AND LOCATION
-Library?
-[Car] What's that?
-[Eun-ji] Only Ji-su got that.
-What?
-[Han-na] Must be
-[Eun-ji] Oh.
Did I get one too?
[exclaims] No, I didn't.
What?
[whimsical music playing]
[both] Oh.
"Library pass."
Hey, that sounds fun though.
Tell me how it is. Once you get back.
ROOFTOP
LOUNGE
5 MINUTE LIBRARY
[chuckles] Oh. Oh, my gosh. What's this?
"Enter passcode.
The five-minute hourglass."
HOW TO ENTER THE 5 MINUTE LIBRARY
[whimsical music playing]
"Flip the sign from 'Vacant' to 'In Use.'"
"And enter."
[music ends]
Wait? What? [chuckles]
5 MINUTE LIBRARY
[pleasant music playing]
A LIBRARY WITH THE ETERNAL SINGLES'
HONEST ANSWERS TO 100 QUESTIONS
-[music ends]
-Hmm.
"Congrats, you were the top
first impression pick."
Wow. "As a reward, you've been given
an entrance pass to the 5 Minute Library."
"Here, you can read the diary
of someone you're curious about."
"But you can only stay for five minutes."
"When the time is up, please put
the diary back and exit the room."
I got many votes
for the first impression pick,
so I've been granted this opportunity.
-[gasps] Ah, so there was a reward. I see.
-Now she knows she was top pick.
If you choose carefully,
you can maybe get a better sense
-of the person you like, right?
-[Eun-ji] Yeah, you can.
That way, you can figure out how to send
-a clear signal to someone.
-[Car] Right.
I wonder what it says.
[mellow music playing]
Am I allowed to take notes?
I think I might forget.
First of all, this is Sang-ho's diary.
Of course. He's her top choice, for sure.
[Ji-su] I decided to read
from Sang-ho's diary.
As I said
during the first impression pick,
Sang-ho is my ideal type
in terms of looks.
I don't think I'll remember
what I read though.
[gasps] "Floral scent."
[groans] I didn't bring any perfume.
I felt rushed,
I was trying to read everything quickly,
so I just skimmed through it.
-[gripping music playing]
-"Kimchi fried rice."
Street food is awesome, I agree.
Tteokbokki is amazing.
Okay, so he likes carbs.
"Mango juice"?
He's had three crushes before?
Oh, but he never told them how he felt.
[breathes deeply]
-[Han-na] Time is going by so fast.
-[Car] There's a time crunch.
-She has to read quickly.
-[In-guk] Right.
"Someone who's responsible."
That's me.
Sorry, that's ridiculous.
How narcissistic of me.
Hmm.
-[sniffles]
-[alarm ringing]
[music fades]
[groans]
It's too cruel. Five minutes is so short.
I should get at least ten.
[Eun-ji] Give her more time.
By the way,
I really want to commend Ji-su for this.
From the first impression pick until now,
reading the diary,
she keeps considering how she measures up.
-"How do I relate to this?"
-Like, "Oh, tteokbokki is amazing."
"Street food is great. Hey, this is me,
-someone with responsibility."
-[Han-na] That's good.
-I love seeing that.
-[Eun-ji] So cute.
-I'm rooting for her.
-[Han-na] Right.
[Eun-ji] Next up, it's Jae-yun.
[In-guk] Oh, Jae-yun.
[whimsical music playing]
[Jae-yun] I got the most votes
in the first impression pick, so
[sucks teeth]
I definitely felt some pressure, like,
"I don't really deserve to win this."
I was kinda nervous but also excited.
You only have five minutes.
-[Eun-ji] Whose diary will Jae-yun read?
-Who's it gonna be?
[music fades]
[mumbles]
[Jae-yun] I decided to read
Kim Yeo-myung's diary.
[mellow music playing]
-Oh, he picked Yeo-myung.
-He's definitely had a change of heart.
The conversation from the day before
must've had an impact.
[Eun-ji] It must've had a strong impact.
[Jae-yun] The way she smiles
is so bright and cheerful.
[laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
[Jae-yun] It made me want
to know more about her.
[Yeo-myung chuckles]
[Jae-yun] I read slowly
from the very beginning.
[music fades]
-A notepad? Is he taking notes?
-[In-guk] What?
[mellow music playing]
[Jae-yun] A movie she especially liked.
Okay, she put
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I liked that one too.
ETERNAL SUNSHINE
So, that response stuck with me the most.
THIS IS WHAT REAL LOVE MUST BE LIKE
[alarm ringing]
[music ends]
Five minutes was shorter than I'd thought.
I should've sped through it
like I was taking a test.
It's as if I focused too much
on the first five questions
and ended up missing the next 20.
I should've read the back too.
[Ji-su] It's Min-hong!
[Ji-su laughs]
Let's go hang outside.
-[Min-hong] Can we go?
-[Yeo-myung] We can?
[Ji-su] Are we allowed? Just here to hang.
[Min-hong] Don't know.
-[Yeo-myung] Why does it smell so nice?
-Smell something?
-It smells so nice.
-[Ji-su] You look so proud.
-Come here.
-Hello.
-[Ji-su] So proud of herself.
-[Yeo-myung] What are you up to?
[Yeo-myung] Hey, just a sec.
Wait, what's he doing?
-He's malfunctioning. Hang on.
-Oh, my God!
[Car] What's he doing?
What's going on with him?
[amusing music playing]
Jae-yun, don't run away!
[Han-na] No, you have to talk to them.
Don't leave.
[Eun-ji and Car laughing]
Yeo-myung's right there. What's he doing?
[music ends]
-What is it?
-[Jae-yun] Oh. Shit.
[door closes]
What?
You startled me.
You okay?
No, I
The women are still
hanging around outside.
Doesn't it seem like
Jae-yun is back to his old self?
He's regressing a little.
I have a bad feeling.
-His hair seems to have grown out too.
-[Eun-ji] Yeah.
No, but Jae-yun is the kind of guy
who does well when he has time to prepare,
but something so sudden must've taken him
by surprise and thrown him off.
Car, the garden,
what would you do in that situation?
"Morning."
[Eun-ji laughs]
-How you doing?
-[Eun-ji] That's what you'd say?
-"Morning." Tip your hat?
-[Car] Yes.
You have to say something.
Yeo-myung asked him, "What are you up to?"
He should've answered, but he didn't even
I hope Yeo-myung
doesn't get the wrong idea.
-Oh, he did so well on the first day.
-Yeah.
-But today, he's still
-[Eun-ji laughs]
[splutters]
-[Han-na] Yeah, he's retreating. Yeah.
-Even I'm starting to malfunction. Crazy!
-[Han-na] Hang on.
-[Car] Right, this is Jeez.
How will they decide?
They'll explain it, right?
Or is it random?
-[cell phone chimes]
-What?
BREAKFAST IS IN THE LOUNGE
A meal?
PLEASE PICK A DRINK BEFORE EATING
-Really?
-The dates must be based on the drinks.
Let's go.
-Hurry, hurry.
-Let's head over.
Let's get first dibs today.
[Do] Okay.
-[exciting music playing]
-[both chuckling]
[Do] If we're having a meal,
I should've changed out of my pajamas.
I'm embarrassed.
-[Ji-yeon] It says something.
-What's it say?
On the drinks.
You're right, it must be the drinks.
-"Men" and "women"?
-[Do] But shouldn't we keep it a secret?
[Ji-yeon] Hello!
Hi, guys.
Hello, hello.
-Hey.
-[Do] What is this?
-So, there are matching ones.
-Who?
-Oh, I see. Sounds fun.
-[Hyun-kyu] So then
-Hello. Hi, everyone.
-[Min-hong] It's first come, first serve.
Hurry up.
[Jeong-mok] Oh.
Are we last?
-Wanna try?
-[Ji-yeon] I don't know what it is.
-I'll choose this. Doesn't look too sweet.
-[Sang-ho] They made this?
-Did they? I want an unsweetened drink.
-Pick one.
[Min-hong] Oh, but
[Do] Actually, I did think that the dates
would be based on which drinks we chose.
So, to be strategic,
I should choose
after I see who picks which drink.
But then, I thought,
"I'll pick first,"
since I got there first. [chuckles]
So, I chose tea thinking,
"Tea seems like the best move."
Especially since I want to go
on a one-on-one date.
[whimsical music playing]
I'll go with this one.
I thought this might be
what our dates are based on,
but I just chose coffee because
that's what I really wanted to drink.
-[Ji-su] I mean, seriously
-It's bitter. It's really bitter.
[Ji-yeon] I picked mine.
-I'll go with
-What is that?
-Isn't it coffee?
-Okay, I'm gonna choose coffee.
-It's not Coke, is it?
-I choose coffee.
[Yeo-myung] I don't know
if it's Coke or coffee.
-[Do] I see bubbles, though.
-I'll choose coffee.
[whimsical music playing]
[Ji-yeon] I figured we'd go on dates
with the people who chose the same drinks,
so I said,
"I should drink some coffee today."
I was hoping Jae-yun would overhear me
and then pick coffee.
What's that? [sniffles]
-I
-What?
[Ji-su] They told us to choose,
so I thought, "Be smart about this."
I remember reading that
Sang-ho liked mango juice.
[Car] What?
"Mango juice"?
Q. YOUR FAVORITE DRINK?
I LOVE MANGO JUICE
I picked it thinking, "Please be mango."
-There you go. Nice!
-[Han-na] What?
Getting that time in the 5 Minute Library
-was a big advantage.
-[In-guk] Right.
Sang-ho, don't you dare choose coffee now.
[laughs]
Don't be like, "I'm gonna drink coffee
since it's morning,".
[Eun-ji] He's not thinking.
-[Car] Don't you dare drink the coffee.
-I think he might pick it.
[indistinct chatter]
What is this? Is it orange juice?
But it didn't taste like mango, so
-A cocktail?
-[Ji-su] The ice melted.
-I can't tell what flavor it is.
-No, no.
I mean, it's not orange.
What's the flavor?
Kind of like mango?
[Yeo-myung] Mango?
Oh, it would be nice if it was mango.
[soft whimsical music playing]
No, whoever came first.
Whoever came first gets first choice.
[Seung-li] You can pick.
I'm wondering
whether to have tea or coffee.
[Sang-ho] Have coffee if you're tired.
[Jeong-mok] Actually,
as soon as I got there,
I saw the different drinks and thought,
"We're gonna get paired up
with the person who chose the same drink."
I saw Do had chosen tea,
so I thought I'd choose tea too, but
Okay then, I'll go with tea.
-[Seung-li] Tea?
-[Hyun-kyu] I pick tea.
[Eun-ji and In-guk exclaim]
[Jeong-mok] But Hyun-kyu went first
and chose tea.
[chuckles]
So I guess I failed at that.
By the way, what is this?
Is it orange?
I don't know what kind of juice it is.
-I'll choose juice.
-Orange juice.
[Han-na] What?
Huh? What did Sang-ho
-Take it. That's it.
-[Han-na] What?
-[Eun-ji] Nice!
-[In-guk] Ji-su keeps watching.
-[Eun-ji] Excellent job.
-Okay.
[indistinct chatter]
[Jeong-mok sighs] Okay. Is this Coke?
-I don't know what
-Well, you picked it, so I have no choice.
Okay.
[Seung-li] Kang Ji-su
had chosen orange juice,
so I was going to choose that one too.
But then Sang-ho took it.
At that moment, I realized,
"He must have the same plan as me."
"I've got competition now."
That's all I was thinking.
-[Sang-ho] Juice.
-[Seung-li] You picked it, I've no choice.
[Jeong-mok] Okay.
Competition, huh?
It's getting real. The competition begins.
-It's getting heated.
-Right.
-Oh.
-[gripping rock music playing]
DID YOU SEE WHAT THE WOMEN PICKED?
So, I didn't exactly look at anyone.
I was kind of tired and out of it.
I was thirsty,
and I like tangerine juice, so, yeah.
I had to pick something,
so I just picked that one.
I knew he'd be like that.
He said he was thirsty.
He picked because he was thirsty.
-[Han-na] Goodness. This guy.
-[laughing]
-[Car] He's on vacation.
-[Han-na] "On vacation."
-But Sang-ho is really lucky.
-[Han-na] Oh, for sure.
-Yeah, you're right.
-Yeah.
-Dumb luck, you know?
-[Eun-ji] He's lucky.
He didn't think
too much before he chose it,
but he got matched with Ji-su,
the most popular girl.
-He'll switch with anyone if they ask.
-[Eun-ji] He might.
-Like, "You wanna drink this?"
-I know.
[Jeong-mok] I think
this one's Coke. Coffee?
-What is this one?
-It's open.
Wait, is this
[indistinct chatter]
-[Do] Let's mix it up. Change seats.
-[Min-hong] That sounds good.
-Bon appétit.
-[Yeo-myung] Bon appétit!
-[Ji-su] Eat up.
-[Seung-li and Sang-ho] Bon appétit.
-When did you get here?
-[Min-hong] When I woke up.
8:50, I think?
[Sang-ho] At 8:00.
[pleasant music playing]
-[Yeo-myung] We saw each other.
-Oh, yeah.
I had no makeup on.
-Well, you looked okay.
-[Ji-yeon] Really?
[chuckles]
-He said it in front of Yeo-myung.
-What?
-Nice move.
-She heard him.
Why does he flirt
like he's recording ASMR?
-[Han-na] Is he talking to himself?
-Exactly.
-That's him trying to work up the courage.
-[Han-na] Right.
I'm sure he made
a snap decision to say that out loud.
[Car] To tell her she looks good
without makeup.
[Han-na] Like, "I gotta tell her this."
-[cell phone chimes]
-[Do] Oh.
IN A FEW MOMENTS,
THE FIRST DATES WILL BEGIN
[Hyun-kyu] Oh, we're paired by drinks.
A-ha.
GREEN TEA
HYUN-KYU, YI DO
-Yeah. We
-And we both have tea.
-[Car] Oh, he's sad.
-[Han-na] He is.
[mellow music playing]
[Do] I should've been
more thoughtful when picking my drink.
I regret that a little bit.
I'm more interested in Seung-li
and Jeong-mok than I am in Hyun-kyu.
JUICE
SANG-HO, JI-SU
[Ji-su] I'm looking forward
to my date with Sang-ho.
-[Min-hong] The drop tower.
-[Yeo-myung] The coffees go together.
COFFEE: SEUNG-LI, JAE-YUN, JEONG-MOK
MIN-HONG, YEO-MYUNG, JI-YEON
[Yeo-myung] Ah.
[Jae-yun] I picked iced Americano,
like Yeo-myung.
I'm happy with how things turned out.
[Car] Oh, nice.
I've been thinking,
"I'd like to get to know
Jae-yun and Jeong-mok better."
So, I'm happy that we were all
gonna go on a date together.
Even though they're eternal singles
with no experience,
they catch on quickly.
They knew that drinks
would determine their dates.
But I feel like the guys
-could be a bit more forward about things.
-Right?
-[In-guk] It feels like that.
-I'm so frustrated.
-As soon as they saw the table, they knew.
-[Eun-ji] That's what I mean.
They should've just said,
-"Oh, I'm gonna drink this."
-[Han-na] Exactly.
[Eun-ji] Seriously.
Well, I really like Sang-ho.
Because he's just the kind of person
that I like to see on a dating show.
-[Eun-ji] Your fave.
-They're so considerate about everything.
[Eun-ji] Right, right.
-Sang-ho's like
-No need to be that considerate.
"Oh, will they give us
something to drink?"
-"Oh. Hey, it's tangerine juice."
-[Eun-ji] I'm thirsty.
Then he gulps it down. And yesterday too.
"It's hot. Is there a fan?"
"Oh, it's a fan."
Sang-ho is putting himself
-and his own comfort before the women.
-[Eun-ji] Exactly. He is.
I totally love this guy.
-He's gotten lucky up till now.
-Right.
-But I think he'll try harder from now on.
-Yeah, I hope so.
PARK JI-YEON
YI DO
[Ji-yeon] So
TALKING IN THE BATHROOM
I was in the middle, and I kept saying,
"I don't know where to look."
"Where should I look?"
And maybe I misheard,
but I think he said, "At me."
[Do] No, I heard it too. I heard that.
What?
Oh.
[Han-na] What?
-[Eun-ji] Huh?
-[Car] What happened?
EARLIER
Does everyone usually eat breakfast?
JAE-YUN
JI-YEON
We're so awkwardly seated.
[Ji-su] Are we?
I had no makeup on.
I don't know where I should be looking.
Not at all.
-You didn't look like you were.
-[Ji-yeon] Really?
I don't know where I should be looking.
"AT ME"
Really?
HEARD "NOT AT ALL" AS "AT ME"
SHE WAS COMPLETELY MISTAKEN
Oh, "Not at all."
-She must've misheard [laughs]
-He said, "Not at all."
But she heard, "At me."
-Oh, Ji-yeon
-A misunderstanding, I think.
He said it too softly.
[Eun-ji] Exactly.
[Han-na] He should've said it louder.
And Do is agreeing with her.
-[In-guk] What the fuck? My God.
-Oh, no. She's totally mistaken.
What do we do?
Yeah, the thing is, Jae-yun actually went,
"Not at all" But to Ji-yeon,
-it must've looked like, "At me."
-[Han-na] So close.
[Car] Right.
-Okay.
-[In-guk] "At me."
-[Han-na] With a long gaze.
-Right.
-"At me. Look at me."
-[Eun-ji gasps]
-[Eun-ji] Her heart must've been racing.
-Oh, no.
-[upbeat music playing]
-[sighs] What outfit would fit my hair?
Oh, I got it.
Pink.
WHAT KIND OF FIRST DATE
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE IN JEJU?
I'm looking forward to
sitting in a cute cafe,
doing fun stuff together,
and gazing out at nature.
Wow, his style has improved a lot.
[Hyun-kyu] I'm totally excited
about my first date.
I gotta stay relaxed and not get nervous.
Until now, we've been talking in groups.
I think I'll really be nervous
talking one-on-one.
[knocks on door]
-Can I ask a favor?
-[Min-hong] Sure.
-Can I borrow some earrings?
-Yeah, come here.
These are quite proper.
Or I have these,
but maybe they're too simple.
Have fun. See you later tonight.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL
YOUR FIRST DATE?
My first date?
I don't really know what I'm doing,
I might be totally clueless.
But I hope we can have
a little fun. [chuckles]
[upbeat Korean song playing]
TODAY'S WEATHER IS 30°C
IT'S SUPER HOT!
ONE-ON-ONE DATE
SANG-HO & JI-SU
[Sang-ho in English] Hello.
Hey. How are you?
[seat belt clicking]
I don't know how long we'll be out.
Will you be okay without a jacket?
-A jacket?
-Yeah.
For now.
[Ji-su] Yeah, you're right.
I didn't know the weather
would cool down so much,
so I only brought light clothes.
[Ji-su] I wore a blue blouse
because he said he liked blue.
[whimsical music playing]
-Got your seatbelt on?
-Yeah.
[Ji-su] But I don't think he noticed.
[exclaims]
Ji-su put thought
into the color of her blouse.
Ji-su is so good at utilizing
everything she's got.
Exactly. She uses what she has
and remembers everything
she learned in the 5 Minute Library.
-[Sang-ho] Shall we go?
-[Ji-su] Okay.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Sang-ho] This is my first electric car.
-[Ji-su] Oh.
[Sang-ho] I'll try to drive safely.
-[chuckling] Can I go slowly?
-Yeah, sure.
[music fades]
Uh, if you could help me with the GPS
-The GPS? Yes, I'm keeping an eye on it.
-Okay.
-You can go straight.
-Got it.
It's straight ahead for a while,
so you can just keep going.
About 60 km?
Yes.
Oh, you have insurance, right?
[quirky music playing]
I'm sure they handle that for us.
No, I mean, life insurance.
[Han-na] "Life insurance."
-It's a joke.
-[In-guk] Oh, Ji-su!
-If it's a joke, he should laugh.
-[In-guk] He tried to laugh.
[Eun-ji] Yeah, he's playing along.
[Sang-ho] I did practice
driving before this,
but I was nervous
because it was a different kind of car.
It was tricky for several reasons.
[Ji-su] Mm.
Earlier, when we were having the drinks
When did you pick your drink?
I was the very last one to pick.
The tangerine juice wasn't so popular.
[Ji-su] Tangerine?
Oh, well
-So
-Hmm.
-I want to let you focus on driving, so I
-Oh, okay.
I wasn't sure if I should say this.
But I put you
for my first impression pick.
Oh, really?
I picked you.
Oh, really?
[gasps]
[Han-na] Hey, Ji-su.
-[In-guk] Time out!
-[Car] He'll crash.
-Good job.
-[Eun-ji] Told right away.
She's gonna cause an accident.
-Exactly. Is Sang-ho okay?
-God, right away like that?
[Car] He looked totally surprised.
-He must be shocked.
-She's so straightforward.
But Ji-su did tell me before
that if she liked someone,
she'd let him know, and she did.
-[Eun-ji] So upfront.
-So straightforward.
But I put you
for my first impression pick.
Oh, really?
So even before I went,
I was thinking things over in my room,
I was like,
"Oh, if we pick the same juice,
we'll definitely go together."
Since you said you liked mango juice
I was hoping it was mango juice,
but it didn't really taste like mango.
So I was trying to say
it was a tropical fruit,
and it turned out to be tangerine juice.
Yeah, tangerine.
-[Han-na] What?
-[Eun-ji] Sang-ho. Please react!
-This way?
-[Ji-su] Yeah.
-It's confusing.
-[Car] What?
-What are you doing? Answer her!
-[Han-na] This isn't it!
[Eun-ji] Come on.
-[Han-na] She chose you. Say you like her.
-Sang-ho's reaction was
-I know.
-[Car] He won't look.
Did you teach him anything at all?
-Oh, you're right.
-Huh?
I didn't know he'd have to drive.
What you should've done is sent him
to a driving school or something!
Well, his thoughts
are all jumbled up right now.
Yeah, you're right about that.
It's not the first day.
-It's Day 2, but it's their first date.
-[Car] Right.
She just gave him so much information.
-Yes, right, right.
-And it was a winding road.
-[Car] Right.
-If he's on a curve, he can't answer.
Right now, things aren't going his way.
I'd even hazard a guess that
he's never felt this emotion before
-in his life.
-[Eun-ji] She gave him too much.
[Sang-ho] I was surprised and frazzled
because she suddenly said that
while I was driving,
and I'm not such a great driver
in the first place.
[quirky music playing]
So while we were eating breakfast,
did you notice that we had the same juice?
Well, I I didn't
I didn't notice it then. [chuckles]
[Ji-su] Hmm.
Who was your first impression pick?
Me?
[splutters] Can I Can I say that?
-I'll tell you soon.
-[chuckles] What?
[Sang-ho] When we arrive.
When we get there.
[Ji-su] Oh, these are tangerine orchards.
GREEN TANGERINE CAFE
[Ji-su] Hi. How are you?
[cafe staff]
This is a green tangerine orchard.
We're going to pick some tangerines
and make jam.
[upbeat music playing]
[Sang-ho grunts]
-What is this?
-Oh, aprons.
-[music fades]
-[Sang-ho inhales deeply]
How do I
Are you okay? Can I help you?
Oh, I got it.
Huh.
[quirky music playing]
Uh
[chuckles]
-"Oh, I got it"?
-Come on!
-I'm I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
-Hey!
I should apologize.
-I lowered Sang-ho's
-[Eun-ji] "I'm fine" is a bit
I think I lowered
his expectations too much,
so right now, Sang-ho's thinking,
-"What? Who, me?
-[Eun-ji] My God!
Ji-su keeps trying to make a move,
but Sang-ho
isn't playing along with it at all.
Sang-ho seems a bit frazzled,
but it's also possible
that he just isn't interested in Ji-su.
-[In-guk] "Isn't interested?"
-[laughs]
-Still, he shouldn't act so dumb.
-[In-guk] It's not that.
I've never seen a guy like this
on a dating show.
"He shouldn't act so dumb."
[Han-na] Jeez. Oh, no.
These smell so good.
Yeah, they do.
Hey, you know, this is the first time
we're actually talking.
[pleasant music playing]
Yesterday, I thought, "Oh, I should
talk to him while making dinner."
But when I'm told to do something,
I only focus on the task.
I really don't know how to multitask.
Even now, I'm cutting,
then stopping to talk,
and then cutting again. [chuckles]
That's why I keep pausing.
-Oh, me too.
-Hmm.
I'm, uh
Hmm.
[music fades]
[Han-na] Ah.
Oh, you said you'd tell me
who your first impression pick was.
-Oh, so, actually
-You're avoiding the question.
Actually, at first
I liked Yeo-myung, actually.
-What?
-Yeo-myung.
-Yeo-myung?
-Yeah.
-Why'd you say that?
-[Car] She looks so disappointed.
I saw her, she was in front of me
I didn't think much about who I picked,
[tense music playing]
Did you pick quickly?
Or did you really think about it first?
-My pick?
-Yeah.
-I picked quickly.
-Oh, I also just
Actually, you're the closest
to my ideal type,
-appearance-wise.
-Oh, really?
-I like the teddy bear type.
-[chuckles] Okay.
Oh, but if you picked Yeo-myung
-Yeah?
-Does that mean you
Do you like girls like Yeo-myung?
Kind of put-together and cute?
[Sang-ho] Actually,
it wasn't that deep.
When I first saw her, she was smiling,
so I thought, "She seems nice."
So I just picked her. Just like that.
[Ji-su exhales]
So, I think,
first impressions are important,
but it honestly didn't mean much
'cause it was so fast. I picked so fast.
I think first impressions
are important though.
[Sang-ho] Oh, really?
Like, doesn't the fact that someone
caught your eye right away
mean that you like that person the most?
What are your specific qualifications
that you look for in a partner?
Oh, I see.
I guess I just personally don't think
they're that important.
[Ji-su] Hmm.
[Sang-ho] Not to me anyway.
[whimsical music playing]
[music fades]
So did you have anything
you wanted to ask me?
-To ask you?
-I didn't think you did. [chuckles]
Well, before now,
we didn't get to talk this much.
[Ji-su] Hmm.
-Hmm.
-[gentle music playing]
So, you said you liked
the teddy bear type?
What's your ideal type?
My ideal type is, uh
someone who smiles a lot.
-Or
-Smiles a lot?
And who's easygoing.
[music fades]
But honestly,
the reason I didn't pick you
is because you seemed
hard to approach.
-Me?
-I don't mean that in a bad way.
You just seem too chic?
Me?
-Yeah, I get that sense from you.
-[Eun-ji] Ah.
[Sang-ho] So, what I mean is
Just to make an analogy,
I'd be eating pork rice soup,
-and you'd be eating a steak.
-[laughs]
But I also love pork rice soup.
So that's why I kind of felt like,
"She seems like she's too good for me."
That's what I thought.
[light music playing]
Oh.
-Oh, I didn't know you felt that way.
-I
I think the others think so too.
-Oh. Why?
-But I'm not sure.
It's just the way you seem.
-I
-Like the way you talk.
You seem so sophisticated.
[chuckles softly]
-Oh Oh, I see.
-Yeah.
Well, maybe I should be more
But I don't think
you need to change anything.
It's what makes you charming.
It'd be weird if you suddenly changed.
[music fades]
In my own way, I was trying to tell him,
"This is how I feel."
But I didn't feel anything
coming from Sang-ho.
"Is he not interested in me?"
"Is he only thinking about Yeo-myung?"
That's what I thought.
My confidence dropped a bit.
I might not wanna eat this.
[Sang-ho] After our date, I'd say that
I became more interested in her.
During the date,
my goal was to have a conversation
that went back and forth smoothly,
and I think I did pretty well.
[Car] What do you mean, "back and forth"?
Where was the back and forth?
No, Sang-ho. You didn't do well.
Both parties should talk
for it to be a smooth conversation.
It really didn't flow that well.
-The conversation barely flowed.
-There was no back and forth.
[laughing]
[quirky music playing]
-[Ji-su groans]
-[Sang-ho] Sorry, sorry.
Oh, I was just getting
a bit sleepy from my food coma,
but I'm gonna stay awake.
[Sang-ho] Okay, where am I going?
Didn't we come this way?
[Ji-su] Oh, it's okay. It's
It's that way.
-[Sang-ho] The other way?
-[Ji-su] Yes.
That date must've been very stimulating.
-[Car] Totally.
-As soon as he got in the car, just
It must've been too much to handle.
Yeah, she said, "I chose you
for the first impression pick."
But when Ji-su kept asking
who he picked for his first impression,
what would have been the right answer?
Well, you know, something like,
-"It's a secret." Or
-[Han-na] He should've said that?
He shouldn't have told her.
Just say that and be like,
"Well, this is only our first date,
and it's still too soon to
really get to know someone," you know?
-[Car] Say nothing.
-Yeah.
He could've just said that and moved on.
He didn't have to say
he chose someone else.
[Eun-ji] He could've kept that a secret.
ONE-ON-ONE DATE
HYUN-KYU & YI DO
-[Do] Hello, Hyun-kyu.
-[Hyun-kyu] Hey.
-[Do] Wow, the weather is great.
-[pleasant music playing]
-Such a clear day.
-[Hyun-kyu] It cleared up.
[music fades]
So was there anyone
you particularly
wanted to go on this date with?
Uh
Actually, I wanted
to go on a date with you
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
[Eun-ji] Hey, listen to that, Yi Do!
I wanted to go on a date with people
I wanted to get to know more.
I mean, we don't know each other
very well yet.
[mellow music playing]
Was there anyone else?
Someone else?
I I'm not sure yet.
Oh. [chuckles]
So, what about you?
[music fades]
Uh
[turn signal clicking]
Wait, make a left here.
[Car] Ah
-Okay.
-[In-guk] Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
[pensive music playing]
-[Do] This must be it.
-[Hyun-kyu] It's this, right?
[Do] Yes, this is it.
Wow, this is pretty.
It's super pretty.
[upbeat song playing]
[Do] It's so, so pretty. Oh, my gosh!
GREEN TEA CAFE
-[Hyun-kyu] Wanna go in?
-[Do] Okay.
-Should we try it?
-Okay.
[song fades]
So what's your ideal type?
-The "tofu" type.
-The "tofu" type?
-Yeah.
-Tofu.
-A fair complexion and soft-looking.
-Hmm.
-Fair and soft
-With feminine features.
-Hmm.
-[intriguing music playing]
Oh, Hyun-kyu isn't very fair-skinned.
No, Hyun-kyu isn't the tofu type.
Do you like active people
or someone more chill?
I'm the chill type, so
[Do] Hmm.
I think I like that better.
If someone is too active,
it'd be a lot to handle.
Oh, that's the opposite of Yi Do.
They're opposites.
[music fades]
Yesterday
-When you got here
-Yeah?
did you see anyone
who was closest to your type?
Closest to my type?
Well, it wasn't 100%,
but there was someone
who was pretty close to my ideal type.
[Do] Hmm.
Oh, why didn't you vote for that person?
-What? Vote? When?
-[both chuckle]
-Why are you acting dumb?
-Oh, today? For this date?
-No.
-What?
-I mean, for the first impression pick.
-What? Oh, the first impression pick.
Can we talk about that? [chuckles]
Wait, we already
talked about it in the car.
-What do you mean?
-Oh, well, I don't
-I don't think I answered that question.
-[Han-na] Huh?
Oh, wasn't that it? Did you just tell me
your first impression of me?
-Yeah. I
-[chuckles]
Well, I didn't tell you
my first impression pick.
EARLIER
you particularly
wanted to go on this date with?
Actually, I wanted to
go on a date with you too.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
Was there anyone else?
Someone else?
I I'm not sure yet.
Oh. [chuckles]
[Car and Eun-ji exclaim]
This and the first impression pick.
-[Eun-ji] They were confused.
-She was mistaken.
Oh, I see. She thought he voted for her.
Right, Hyun-kyu chose Ji-su
-for his first impression pick.
-[Car] Right.
Oh, weren't you talking about
your first impression pick?
No, I must've been
talking about something else.
-Oh, something else?
-Yeah, I must've been confused.
I misunderstood.
[tense whimsical music playing]
Ah.
[Han-na] Things aren't going too great.
-[Hyun-kyu] You took it the wrong way.
-We're not communicating well.
-[Hyun-kyu] Ah, sorry.
-[exclaims]
I meant something else.
[Do chuckles drily]
[Han-na] Ah.
[Car] She seems a little disappointed.
[Eun-ji] Yi Do's bubble just burst.
[Han-na] She thought it was her.
[In-guk] Hmm.
[music fades]
Well, I'm trying to read
the other person's reactions more.
So, I focused more on Do's reactions,
but then I started
getting the feeling like,
"Does this person
not see me as a romantic interest?"
So things were starting
to feel a little awkward.
I actually don't like green tea that much,
but Hyun-kyu seemed to enjoy it.
So I thought, "If someone else were here
who likes green tea more than me,
she might've had more interesting
conversations with Hyun-kyu."
I kept thinking about that.
Well, so that's how
the one-on-one dates went.
The three-on-three group date
might be a little better.
Maybe they'll get closer
and it'll lead to something more.
Let's get our hopes up
for the three-on-three.
[Car] Sounds good.
-[Han-na] Things will pan out.
-[In-guk] Yeah.
SEUNG-LI, JAE-YUN, JEONG-MOK
MIN-HONG, YEO-MYUNG, JI-YEON
-[Jeong-mok] Here we go.
-[Min-hong] Let's go!
[Seung-li] I'll try to drive safely.
[turn signal clicking]
What do you think we'll do
at Eternal Singles' Night later?
-Won't we talk about jobs today?
-Jobs? Isn't it too early for that?
-Right, too soon.
-I know.
Jobs, or maybe revealing who we voted for?
Oh, jeez.
-Wow, that's huge.
-You might be right.
-Wait, no.
-[Seung-li] That hurts.
But that doesn't really matter
since our votes were
just based on first impressions.
-Yeah.
-[Min-hong] Just first impressions.
Even on dating shows,
the person who got all the votes at first
could still end up in the trash.
"In the trash."
Not in the trash. I just mean
that things might not go well for them.
-"In the trash."
-I don't know what I'm saying.
[Seung-li] Showing your true self now.
[Min-hong] Since we've dropped
the formalities,
-we're speaking freely.
-[Ji-yeon] I know.
Have you guys changed your pick?
Yeah, I changed mine.
[gasps]
-What?
-[Han-na] What?
[light music playing]
Me too.
Yeah, I think
I've changed mine too.
[Han-na] He's changed his too.
[Yeo-myung] I
I've definitely changed my mind.
[Yeo-myung] Why'd you change?
[Min-hong] The person I chose
for my first impression pick was Jae-yun,
but we really haven't talked yet.
Like, I don't even know
what his voice sounds like.
But I've actually had
a conversation with Jeong-mok.
Can I help you?
-Yeah, if you could hold the door.
-No, I got it.
-It's good. Yeah, it's tasty.
-It looks good.
[Min-hong] He kept making these
little jokes during the drive.
So I guess I was naturally drawn to him.
How about you?
-Me?
-Yeah.
I don't know.
-[Seung-li chuckles]
-Why aren't you telling us? You asked.
No comment.
Hey, you asked us first.
-[Yeo-myung] Why ask if you won't answer?
-You're such a tease.
Jeez, unbelievable.
That's harsh.
You just got information from us
-and left us hanging.
-[Yeo-myung] Right?
Mm, I haven't changed.
-[Cupids exclaim]
-Oh, is his pick still Yi Do?
-She's not here right now.
-[Car] You're right.
Min-hong and Jeong-mok's conversation
-is flowing well.
-[Car] It's good.
-They make a good couple, don't you think?
-[Eun-ji] Yeah.
-[Jeong-mok] Oh, it's a roller rink.
-[Seung-li] Oh.
-[Yeo-myung] Roller skating!
-[Min-hong] This looks fun!
[Ji-yeon] I can't skate.
[Yeo-myung] You can't?
It's my first time.
-It's everyone's first, right?
-[Jeong-mok] I think so.
[Yeo-myung] Do I just tie it like this?
[Jae-yun] Oh. Can I
tie that for you?
Do I have to lace it all the way up?
YEO-MYUNG DIDN'T HEAR HIM
-Probably not?
-[Jae-yun] Oh, yes.
-Do I lace this up?
-Want me to tie yours?
Why?
[laughing]
-[Han-na] Hey, I mean
-He heard!
-[Eun-ji] He heard!
-Why would you ask Seung-li?
No, don't do that.
[Car] Doesn't he look like
he can tie his own?
[Han-na] Not Seung-li.
Seung-li looks like
he can take care of himself, dude.
[Han-na] Seung-li went, "Why?"
"Why? Why me?"
Come on!
Why?
Oh, if you can do it yourself
[splutters] never mind.
[amusing music playing]
[Seung-li] You'll have to
sit down for this. You might slip.
Should I lace it all the way up?
I should, right?
-Not all the way.
-[Seung-li] No.
You'll slip.
I'm lacing all the way.
Can I tie it for you?
[Car] Oh, nice. Try again.
Oh, no, I'm fine.
I think I got it. [chuckles]
[Han-na] Oh, Yeo-myung. [groans]
[Seung-li] I think I might fall.
[whimsical music playing]
They're all bravely tying their own.
This one should go in between here.
So, like this.
-This is too dangerous.
-[chuckles]
[Seung-li] Look.
[Eun-ji] Wait, why are you
Why are you doing that for him?
[Han-na] The girls are helping girls,
guys are helping guys.
[Jeong-mok] Thank you.
I just feel like
we're not that close yet,
so having that close a physical contact
might have been too much,
so I didn't offer to help the girls.
But that mentality might be
one of the reasons I'm so single.
[chuckles]
"So single."
They're going at the right speed.
-He's right.
-[In-guk] Yeah.
-The other person might feel pressured.
-Right.
And it would feel awkward
to turn someone down too.
-[Han-na] That's true.
-This speed is good.
-[Ji-yeon] Let's go inside.
-[Min-hong] It's so slippery.
-I'm scared. I'm getting really nervous.
-Hey, this
[both exhale nervously]
[Yeo-myung] I think I need some time
to get used to it.
[pleasant music playing]
[nervously] Oh.
This Oh, I'm gonna fall.
[music fades]
How is everyone?
[Jeong-mok panting]
[groans, chuckles]
-[Car] There you go!
-[In-guk] Oh, no!
-Someone had to go down first, I guess.
-Dangerous. Right.
Yeah, hey,
you started things off, Jeong-mok.
-They're all laughing.
-[Han-na] Made people laugh. Good job.
-But how does someone fall like
-[Han-na] Oh, gosh.
-[In-guk] Yeah.
-[laughs]
Like he's lying down.
[both laughing]
[Han-na] He spun. Even his head is down.
That was a big fall.
[amusing music playing]
[groans]
[Min-hong] Oh, my God.
-[laughing]
-[women laughing]
-[Ji-yeon] Are you okay?
-Hey, but he fell
[Seung-li] Hey, what, what?
Did you hit your head?
Oh.
You okay? Are you all right?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I almost died.
[Ji-yeon] Oh, no.
[grunts]
Oh.
It might be better if I hold on.
Yeah, if you keep your core tight
Like an ab workout,
just hold this and keep going.
If I do this, I'll do the splits.
-[Min-hong] Oh.
-[gasps] You're doing great.
[Min-hong] I'll do a lap
and get the hang of it.
-[upbeat music playing]
-[Yeo-myung chuckles]
I think I'm good at this.
[Han-na] Yeo-myung is doing well.
[Ji-yeon] How are you so good?
Oh, she's good.
Why is she so good?
[chuckles softly]
I'm I'm good, aren't I?
Oh, what?
-[Yeo-myung] Aren't I?
-Good.
[splutters] I'm not.
[Han-na and Car laughing]
-The boys should hold the girls' hands.
-[Ji-yeon] You're doing great.
[Yeo-myung gasps]
[amusing music playing]
I think I'm too scared to skate.
I can't go anywhere.
[Min-hong] Wait.
Hang on, let me hold your hand.
Okay, just try this first.
Move your feet like this.
Just practice this with your feet.
I'll watch you. Look at me.
Like this.
[Car chuckling] What's Seung-li doing?
What are you doing?
-What is that?
-[exhales]
[Ji-yeon] What am I doing?
Together [chuckles] My legs.
[Min-hong] No, no, no, just
Hang on. Just
-[laughing]
-Just stand still. Stay still.
-[Ji-yeon] But I can't take a single step.
-[Min-hong] Use your strength.
[Eun-ji] Is he coming? Jeong-mok's coming.
-[Ji-yeon] I'm too scared to move.
-[Min-hong] Look here.
[enchanting music playing]
-Here he comes.
-Jeong-mok to the rescue.
-[Eun-ji] Hold her hand!
-[Han-na] He's helping her?
I really can't do this at all.
I just can't.
-[chuckles]
-Okay then, let's go to that bench.
Easy does it.
[sighs] Try this, then. Go like
-Try this. Then, go like
-[Yeo-myung] Can you do this?
[amusing music playing]
-[chuckles]
-[Eun-ji] Okay.
-What did he do?
-[Car laughing] What was that?
Did he just tap the wall and go?
-Oh, I think he needed brakes.
-[Car] What?
Oh, brakes.
-[In-guk] The wall brakes.
-[Car] He needed the wall.
-[In-guk] He can't stop.
-Why'd he have to do that in between them?
[Eun-ji] Oh, God.
[Ji-yeon grunts]
-I can't. No, I think I might get hurt.
-[Min-hong] Then
[Jeong-mok] I was gonna hold her hand,
but then after falling once, I thought,
"If I hold her hand, we might both
fall down and get seriously hurt."
So I thought,
"I should just stay out of it."
-So that's why.
-[Eun-ji] He's too cautious.
Practice without the wall.
-[laughs]
-Wow, you're a strict teacher.
So, this Your foot
Rather than going like this
-Like this?
-Yeah, look at his feet.
-Like that.
-Like that?
Jae-yun!
-[Min-hong] Slowly.
-That's it.
[Min-hong] One, two
-Better, right? Isn't that so much better?
-[Yeo-myung] Totally!
-[Ji-yeon] Amazing, right?
-Doing so well.
But I can't if you don't hold me.
I'll keep holding you.
Slowly, trust me. [chuckles]
We'll hold you until the end.
-[Yeo-myung] Like this. Slowly.
-If you end up going too wide, just go
-Hey, sorry, but
-[laughs]
are you gonna practice all day long?
[In-guk] What?
-[Car] What did he say?
-"Are you gonna practice all day long?"
He should be helping.
Is he seriously mocking them right now?
-[In-guk] He just
-He's barely getting by himself.
-Did he think it's a competition?
-Competition?
-[Han-na] Is he thinking this is a sport?
-Oh, Seung-li
On a dating show?
-Yeah, he just
-[Car] Seung-li would think that.
[Han-na] He's missing the point.
[Yeo-myung] Ji-yeon didn't know
how to skate,
so I thought it would be nice for the guys
to come and help her out.
You know, this was
supposed to be a group date.
But no one was helping her.
[Min-hong] It didn't feel like a date.
I was hoping they'd come and lend a hand
when we were struggling,
but they were too busy
skating on their own.
I just felt frustrated.
[whimsical music playing]
It hurts.
-Even I'm frustrated.
-That's how we feel.
[Han-na] She's feeling the frustration.
[sighs wearily]
[Han-na gasps]
I've been interested in Jae-yun
since yesterday,
but he was so focused on skating.
He was just skating on his own.
So, I figured
he just wanted to do his own thing.
[Yeo-myung] Shouldn't a guy be doing this?
I know, girl.
Why are we doing this ourselves?
Who do you like?
Who do you wish was helping?
What?
[Han-na] Here he goes again. Look at this.
[Car] What is he doing right now?
[Eun-ji] Does the person
who takes the most laps win a prize?
-[laughs]
-God, this is so funny though.
-[Han-na] What is this?
-I mean
What's the difference between this
and Walking Dead?
[Han-na] What is this?
-He looks like he's on Walking Dead.
-[Han-na] I know, what is
-What is he even thinking?
-What is this? I don't understand.
-This wasn't at all what we expected.
-[Eun-ji] I really can't watch
I can't watch this. [laughs]
-[In-guk] Let me get water.
-[Eun-ji] Can I step outside?
-I seriously
-I think I need some soju.
-I can't even
-This is so frustrating.
I mean, how are you all
just watching this?
[Han-na] Unbelievable.
Aren't you frustrated?
Aren't you guys frustrated?
-[Car] In the meantime
-[Eun-ji] How did you edit this?
-I'm going crazy just watching it.
-[Han-na] This is infuriating.
[Eun-ji exclaims]
-Wow.
-This is a date. A date.
[Eun-ji] What do we do?
I can't believe this.
Seriously, what is this?
[Eun-ji] What do we do?
This is just too hard for me.
-I don't think I can do this. I know.
-Inline skates are much easier.
-[Yeo-myung] What'll you do?
-Pretend to skate with my slippers on.
-Good.
-[Ji-yeon] Good idea?
Yeah, you should hold our hands.
[all laughing]
[Ji-yeon] Are you okay? Hey, are you okay?
-[Yeo-myung] Yikes.
-Don't look.
[Ji-yeon] You okay?
-[Min-hong] Ignore him.
-Look away.
-[Min-hong] He said not to look at him.
-[laughing]
[slow bluesy music playing]
[Seung-li] Slapstick comedy. Smooth.
-So embarrassing.
-[Seung-li chuckles]
Still going?
If you wanna keep skating, go ahead.
I'm gonna just rest here.
I'm going to skate. Who wants to join?
-Who wants to join?
-[In-guk] What?!
[Han-na] Oh, she did it.
[pleasant music playing]
-[Yeo-myung] Have you gotten better?
-[Jae-yun] No, not at all.
-[laughs]
-[Jae-yun] Is this right?
[Yeo-myung] Very smooth.
[Jae-yun] Smooth.
-Very smooth.
-[chuckles]
I think it helps you skate better
if you swing your arms like this.
Hey, it's finally
starting to look like a date.
[In-guk] Hold hands!
[chuckling] Wow.
But I don't know how to stop.
[softly] Smooth. Smooth.
"Smooth. Smooth."
Why does he keep saying that? [laughs]
[chuckling] "Smooth."
[In-guk] Yeah, that's not smooth.
[enchanting music playing]
[Yeo-myung] You're doing pretty well.
[chuckling] Okay then.
-Wanna race?
-[Jae-yun] What if I lose?
I'll flick you.
[chuckling] You'll flick me?
Here we go. I think I'm going to win.
[enchanting music continues]
[laughs]
Ooh.
[Jae-yun exhales]
[Cupids laughing]
[chuckling] Should I not
have suggested this?
[chuckling] No. Where will you flick me?
[chuckles] I won't flick you.
I don't think I'm mean enough to do that.
[softly] Smooth. Smooth. Smooth.
I wanted to show her that I was
good at something, so I kept skating,
but it didn't really go as I'd hoped.
It was disappointing.
[music fades]
[chuckling]
I could see that Jae-yun
was trying really hard,
but he looked like
he was really struggling.
I felt so bad about that.
I just felt really bad for him.
I didn't really
say it directly to Jeong-mok,
but I was like, "Let's skate together."
I wanted to skate with Jeong-mok, but
I'm going to skate. Who wants to join?
[Han-na] Oh, this is
[Car] Oh,
so it was supposed to be Jeong-mok.
[Han-na] Yeo-myung
wanted to go with Jeong-mok.
[Yeo-myung] They said I should go
with Jae-yun, so I went with him.
But the experience is really different,
depending on who I'm with.
[chuckles] Jae-yun
doesn't really talk much at all,
so I think it would've been hard
if we'd been a one-on-one date together.
-[Car] Ah.
-If Jae-yun had been a bit more proactive
[Han-na] I know.
But all he does is go around saying,
"Smooth, smooth," all day.
Oh, I feel kind of bad
for this robot zombie looking for love.
[Han-na] I know.
Jae-yun is rooming with Jeong-mok now.
So Jeong-mok must've seen
that Jae-yun put his hand up.
-He did.
-[Car] He knows what his friend is like.
And now that I think about it,
Yeo-myung kept missing what Jae-yun said
because her focus is all on Jeong-mok.
[Car] Right. That's right.
You're right. If she were interested,
she'd look at him
even when he talks quietly.
[Eun-ji] Like when he said,
"Can I tie it for you?" That was his move.
[Han-na] I know.
It's all so complicated.
Jae-yun is interested in Yeo-myung.
-Yeo-myung is into Jeong-mok.
-Yeah.
-And Jeong-mok is into Do.
-[Eun-ji] Yep.
But they'll keep going on dates, right?
Will they get better?
[Han-na] Can we keep airing
these awful dates?
I mean, if they don't get better,
tell us in advance.
-[Eun-ji] Warn me.
-So we can be prepared.
-I'll take an antacid.
-I hope it gets better.
[Eun-ji] Please.
[mellow music playing]
[Yeo-myung] Oh, we're home. [chuckles]
-[cell phone chimes]
-[Jae-yun] Oh, God.
A MESSAGE HAS ARRIVED
-[cell phone chimes]
-He What?
Oh, here we go.
"Please gather at the Event Zone
by the Igloo. Bundle up."
-Okay.
-Ready?
-They're telling us to bundle up.
-We're dressed warmly.
We should look cold.
Someone will give us their coat.
[Yeo-myung gasps] Wow, you're so sneaky.
-But watch me just shiver alone.
-[Yeo-myung] Sneaky fox.
-No, Ji-su.
-[Han-na] Oh, Ji-su.
I wouldn't count on that if I were you.
These guys don't seem too promising.
These guys wear two puffer jackets
-on top of each other.
-Right.
You should really bundle up.
[mellow music playing]
MALE ETERNAL SINGLES' NIGH
[Yeo-myung] Today is
Male Eternal Singles' Night.
[Ji-su] Huh?
It's Male Eternal Singles' Night.
So we're hearing from the guys tonight?
-Yeah, could be.
-I don't have much to say about myself.
-[Ji-su] You, uh, want some?
-[Yeo-myung] Want some?
Let's each pour our own drinks.
More efficient.
-[dramatic music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]
Is that someone new?
-[gasps]
-[Han-na] What?
-A new face?
-[In-guk] A new member.
It's a guy. It's a guy.
Is another man joining them?
[dramatic music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[women exclaim and laugh]
-[man] Hello.
-[Seung-li] Hey. Come on over.
-[Ji-yeon] So cute.
-[man] Hello.
[Seung-li] Hey.
[man] Nice to meet you.
-Oh, wow.
-Who is it?
-[man] Nice to meet you.
-Jeez, he scared me.
Uh, who Who is it?
[man] Nice to meet you.
-[Ji-su] Hello.
-[Min-hong] Why is he alone? He's alone.
I just moved in.
-[Hyun-kyu] What?
-What?
[Jeong-mok] Oh, wait. What?
-[man] Yes.
-[Seung-li] I knew this'd happen.
[Hyun-kyu] The light in front came on.
KANG HYUN-KYU
LEE SEUNG-CHAN
[Ji-su] Come this way.
Is that why tonight
is Male Eternal Singles' Night?
[Do] Shall we welcome him?
-Clap, clap. Nice to meet you.
-[Min-hong] Wow.
-Hello.
-[Ji-su] I was surprised.
Hello, I'm Lee Seung-chan,
and I've been single for 31 years.
-[Car] Hey, he's hot.
-[Eun-ji] He's handsome.
[Han-na] Wow!
-Yeah, that's my buddy, Seung-chan.
-Who is it?
-He's my hidden card.
-[Car] He's handsome.
-[Eun-ji] Jeez.
-Hey, he looks so young.
[Eun-ji] Is he the oldest guy, then?
[Min-hong] He looks like
a lot of girls would like him.
He's good-looking.
[Yeo-myung] I thought he had a nice voice.
[Min-hong] But we have to
speak casually here. Starting now.
-Want to do what we did yesterday?
-Shall we?
-Yeah.
-Oh, then here's the first question.
"Why have you been single since birth?"
Why I've been single since birth?
[Min-hong] Why you think
you've been single since birth.
-Diving right in here? Soon as I arrive?
-[Sang-ho] Trial by fire.
You can take your time to think.
[insects trilling]
By any chance,
did anyone say they had
a very short relationship last night?
[Ji-yeon] Last night?
[Seung-chan] When you were
talking last night.
-[Eun-ji] Short?
-[Car] What is this?
Something like, "We're officially
a couple starting today?"
I don't think anyone here
has had that before.
Oh. Oh, really?
I was
[curious music playing]
actually in a relationship
for about 100 days.
for about 100 days.
That's a long time.
-Pretty long.
-[Seung-chan] Oh, it's
-[Car and Han-na exclaim]
-[Eun-ji] Oh, this is
-He has the most experience.
-[Car] He's dated before.
-[Eun-ji] Then he's totally
-That's right.
Oh, that's why you're the game changer.
Then you don't qualify
for Eternal Single Land.
-[Min-hong] Huh, can't relate.
-I know.
With zero days of experience,
that sounds pretty long.
I know. [chuckles]
[low gripping music playing]
I'm 31 years old,
so 100 days is less than 1% of my life.
So it's awkward to say
that I've dated before,
and my friends treat me like
I have been single since birth anyway.
So I think I am an eternal single too.
[Eun-ji] "The 100-day game changer."
God, why is it so funny
they call him the game changer?
[Do] I was really surprised.
I thought, "Wow, he seems so smooth."
"He looks relaxed."
[Jeong-mok] I think he bothered me a bit.
I thought, "A normal guy
seems to have joined us."
"Will I be able to compete against him?"
[Car and Han-na] "A normal guy."
-The The game changer The
-[Min-hong] The game changer.
-[Hyun-kyu] He is the game changer.
-[Car] They're going crazy.
Supposed to shake things up,
but is there even a game right now?
Right. He showed up
way, way, way too early.
-[Ji-su] Right.
-[Sang-ho] So flashy.
[Hyun-kyu] He showed up
even before we started the game.
With 100 days of experience,
we'd just consider him single since birth,
but here, he's a total pro.
-[Han-na] Right. Right.
-For us, he's a seasoned veteran.
Here, he's practically a pickup artist.
[Car] That's right.
And actually, today's date
was really frustrating
-and they weren't very satisfied.
-Yeah.
But Seung-chan shows up
-with 100 days of experience
-A man with experience.
and leads the conversation.
He's pretty much a pickup artist.
Honestly, Ji-su said something
-that might hurt the guys' pride.
-What did she say?
"He came to shake up the game,
-but there is no game."
-[Cupids] Ah.
[Car] This should hurt their pride,
but these guys don't even know that.
-They don't know.
-No.
They don't know what she's saying.
"A normal guy is here."
That's what they're saying.
[exclaims]
What was the first question again?
Why have you been single since birth?
Why have I been single since birth?
I didn't know this,
but when I was getting
my makeover for the show,
I guess I was dressing
in a way that didn't really suit me.
[mellow whimsical music playing]
-Oh, is that Seung-chan?
-[Han-na] His outfit is so
I'm Lee Seung-chan,
and I've been single for 31 years.
[Eun-ji] So
-But why
-He should've touched up his roots.
He had a totally different vibe.
INTERVIEW WITH PRODUCERS
Hello. [chuckles]
[staff] Hello.
Don't I look okay with bleached hair?
-[crew laughs]
-[chuckles]
[Seung-chan] Well, I thought my hair
looked cool and I was satisfied with it,
but the people around me kept saying,
"That's why you don't have a girlfriend."
The flower-patterned shirts too.
I thought I was wearing cool clothes,
but it's kind of upsetting
when people don't understand my style.
For his haircut, I think he should have
a neat two-block cut.
-You know?
-[hairstylist] Okay.
With a dark color
and slightly longer in the back.
-About his eyebrows
-[makeup artist] Okay.
How about extending the tail a bit?
-[makeup artist] Then
-Yeah.
That looks like a good fit for you, right?
The shoulders too.
Bring them down a little.
-There you go.
-[stylist] Yeah.
[In-guk] So it looks more natural. Yeah.
[Seung-chan] Wow.
Even I think I look okay now.
[chuckles]
[Eun-ji exclaiming in awe]
[Han-na] Goodness, Seung-chan looks like
a totally different person.
Wow.
[music fades]
-It's like white hair
-[cell phone chimes]
TONIGHT, THE MEN WILL REVEAL
THEIR INFORMATION
The male eternal singles
will reveal their information.
THE MEN WILL SHARE THEIR AGES AND JOBS
[Sang-ho] Wait,
is it supposed to go this fast?
-Our ages, already?
-[Hyun-kyu] Usually
-I'm so curious.
-[Min-hong] But I am really curious.
[Hyun-kyu] It's similar, but as soon as
you got here, you have to reveal
[Car] Oh, their ages and jobs. Okay.
Then, just the guys? Oh, my.
MALE ETERNAL SINGLES' NIGH
[Do] Then,
starting with Hyun-kyu.
Your age and job.
Okay, I was born in 1999.
[contestants exclaim]
I'm 26.
So
And my job
I'm still a student.
I'm in medical school.
[contestants exclaim]
-I'm in medical school.
-[gasps]
[quirky music playing]
[exclaims]
They're reacting
to the fact he's in med school.
-Yeah, they're all quite surprised.
-[Eun-ji] Yeah, really surprised.
[Car] He's quite the competitor.
[Seung-chan] I'm in my final year
of med school now.
-Right.
-[chuckles]
-[Seung-li] Med school. Wow.
-[Do] I was close.
Which specialty do you want to do?
I want to go into orthopedic surgery,
but I'm not sure yet.
I have to do my internship too, so
Now, you can ask someone
you were curious about.
Then, Jae-yun?
[Sang-ho] Hmm.
Oh, should I address him with honorifics?
Is he older than me?
[Sang-ho] You don't know that yet.
[Jae-yun] I was
born in 1998. I'm 27.
Oh, one year apart.
[male contestant exclaims]
-And your job?
-[Sang-ho] I think he's
My job
I'm a 3D artist.
[contestants exclaim]
[Jae-yun] And I've been working
in the computer graphics industry.
[Car] Ji-yeon only has her eyes
on Jae-yun.
-[Eun-ji] Yeah.
-[Han-na] She seems to like him.
[Jeong-mok] He's still
a year older than me.
-[Sang-ho] Oh, man.
-[Seung-li] I wanted to say beforehand.
-I am
-[Sang-ho] And me?
-An athlete.
-An athlete.
You're an athlete, right?
[Hyun-kyu] You look like
an athlete or coach.
-Right or wrong?
-[Seung-li] A coach?
A kinesiology major.
-Can I just tell you?
-Yeah.
[Hyun-kyu] Yes.
I'm the same age as you. We're twins.
-I was born in 1998.
-[Seung-chan] Both 1998.
[Seung-li] I was born in 1998,
and I'm working as a marketer now.
[Eun-ji exclaims]
A marketer.
He can speak four languages.
Wow! Oh, that's kind of unexpected
but cool.
[upbeat music playing]
[Seung-li] I usually deal
with international marketing.
I recorded some videos about Brazil
because I can speak Portuguese.
You should talk with my stylist.
I recorded some videos, they're on TikTok.
I have experience
working at Amazon and Naver,
and I help with all aspects,
including video production
and visual analysis.
[inaudible]
KIM SEUNG-LI, AGE 27
GLOBAL MARKETER
[music fades]
[applause]
So you were all wrong.
[Hyun-kyu] Wow, it's been a while.
-[Ji-su] Pick someone.
-Pick someone.
[inhales deeply]
-[laughter]
-Wasn't I Wasn't I the last one?
You're 25, 26.
[low whimsical music playing]
I am, uh
-Thought he'd definitely be older than me.
-It'll all come back.
No, I was just guessing
Actually, I thought
Sang-ho would be a bit older.
"Is he about 30 years old?"
But then, while we were on our date,
I thought he seemed a little awkward
and that he might
actually be younger than me.
So, about 26?
-[Sang-ho and Hyun-kyu chuckle]
-[Ji-su] Tell us.
Oh, I was born in 1998.
-[Ji-yeon] Oh, all three of you.
-Three of us are twins. That's great.
[Sang-ho] And my job is
Well, I'm a researcher
in the defense industry.
-I do research for a munitions company.
-Oh.
[rock music playing]
[Seung-li] A researcher?
The work I do is research
on testing equipment
for the electrical parts
that go into weapons
such as tanks
and self-propelled artillery.
[Han-na] Oh, he does research
on test equipment.
KIM SANG-HO, AGE 27
DEFENSE CONTRACTOR RESEARCHER
[contestants exclaiming]
[music fades]
Are you perhaps
a Hanwha Eagles fan?
-[laughter]
-[light music playing]
Oh, I don't really
know much about baseball
-[Seung-chan] That's awesome.
-but I am sort of related to the team.
[chuckles softly]
-[Seung-chan] Wow.
-[music ends]
[Seung-li] All right, another 1998.
That means
It's your turn now.
-I really can't tell.
-[Seung-li] Just tell us.
A grad student.
Accounting? Is that your field?
-Accounting?
-[Hyun-kyu] That field.
-Accounting or in that field.
-I was, yes, born in 1999.
[contestants exclaiming]
I'm a college student.
[exclaims]
Yeah, I'm studying chemical
and biomolecular engineering.
-You're an engineering major.
-[Sang-ho] Cool.
[Jeong-mok] I'm currently
a college student.
I'm studying biochemical engineering
at Sogang University.
I just attend lectures
and go to the library to study
when I have free periods,
do my assignments if I have them,
and end my day like that.
HA JEONG-MOK, AGE 26
ENGINEERING STUDEN
Can I ask you what year you're in?
I was in the military academy before.
-Which branch of the military?
-[Seung-chan] Air force?
The air force.
Oh, that's cool.
I'm in my third year now.
[mellow music playing]
[Min-hong] I had a feeling
he was younger than me.
I actually don't prefer younger guys
and had no plans of dating young guys,
but when I saw Jeong-mok
Uh
I thought, "Maybe age isn't so important."
He changed my views a bit, so
I thought he was interesting.
[indistinct chatter]
[music fades]
-[Hyun-kyu] Wow, fascinating.
-You're the last one.
Oh, I'm
I'm the oldest guy. [chuckles]
-Oh, really?
-[Seung-chan] I'm
31 years old.
-Oh.
-Oh, you You look so young.
[Seung-chan] I was born in 1994.
-[Sang-ho] 1994?
-And my job is
[low intriguing music playing]
I'm a surgeon.
[contestants exclaim]
-[gasps]
-[enthralling music playing]
-[Han-na gasps] A doctor?
-[Car] A surgeon?
Wow.
He's a doctor.
But he was wearing those clothes
-and had that hair back then.
-[Han-na] Right.
-The Hawaiian shirt.
-He didn't like that.
He didn't wanna be like, "I'm a doctor"
-[In-guk] Having to look put together.
-He didn't wanna fit into that mold.
-Now I get it. Makes sense.
-[Car] Okay.
[Seung-chan] I'm a surgeon.
I graduated from
Korea University's medical school
and I trained in Samsung Hospital's
surgical department.
Surgery itself is a very dynamic process,
and getting to see patients
make a full recovery is so rewarding.
LEE SEUNG-CHAN, AGE 31
SURGEON
-[chuckles]
-[applause]
[Do] That's impressive.
You're all babies.
[laughter]
It's like you know everything about me.
Well, at first, they said
you were a med student, so I
They started with med student
and ended with doctor, cruel.
[both exclaim]
[light whimsical music playing]
[Hyun-kyu] I was so surprised
to learn his age,
and I was even more surprised
about his job.
I'm aspiring to be a doctor,
but he's a real doctor.
It was like, "Oh, you're a med student?
Well, I'm a doctor."
That was rough.
[Seung-li] The most impressive people
were the two doctors
because they have important jobs.
They could be a serious competition.
[Jeong-mok] A sense of inferiority?
I couldn't help but feel that way,
hearing about their jobs.
"Oh, how could I ever outdo him?"
"I don't think I can."
Like
What if we both like Yi Do?
[chuckles softly]
[Jae-yun] As we started
revealing things about each other,
my confidence kept dropping.
There was a medical school student
and a doctor.
I just felt so small, like
I'm nothing.
-Oh, I was really way off then.
-I know.
-I thought everyone was in their thirties.
-Me too.
[Do] It's your five o'clock shadow.
-Wait. What?
-[Do] My bad.
[Seung-chan] Hold on.
[gripping electronic music playing]
I'm the only one?
[In-guk] Oh, only Seung-chan got it?
To pick the first impression.
[Sang-ho and Hyun-kyu]
Oh, the first impression pick.
[Ji-su] Oh, we all did that.
Oh, you did? Okay. Bye.
Yeah, see ya.
[indistinct chatter]
-Where do I go?
-[Sang-ho] Yeah, go to the igloo.
[Hyun-kyu] Where are you supposed to go?
They said to go inside.
[Sang-ho] Must have changed.
[Hyun-kyu] What? Just
Hey, where is he going?
[Hyun-kyu] There.
-Doing it somewhere hidden.
-[Sang-ho] Interesting.
[music fades]
[Seung-chan] Wow. What is this place?
Hello?
[laughs]
[enchanting music playing]
Wow!
[Car] What is this?
[Han-na and Car] What is this?
THE SUITE
[Han-na] What is this room?
[Car] "A private area where you can be
alone with some of the opposite sex?"
-Right away? Seriously?
-[Han-na] They get a room like that?
EMPTY
IN USE
Oh, no. They
They're gonna pass out from pure shock.
-Time-out.
-[Han-na] Is this Too Hot to Handle?
-They'll pass out.
-They're not ready.
-This isn't Too Hot to Handle, right?
-No, our kids will be shocked.
We're getting them a room?
-We can't do this.
-[Eun-ji] Seriously.
-They won't be able to sleep.
-They can't handle it.
-Please don't do this.
-[Eun-ji] They'll descend into chaos.
[chuckles]
[mellow music playing]
YOU MAY HAVE ONE-ON-ONE CHATS
WITH TWO WOMEN YOU LIKE
Twenty minutes?
-[Car] With two girls.
-[Han-na] One-on-one?
Wow. Which two will he choose?
[Seung-chan] Kang Ji-su, Kim Yeo-myung,
Park Ji-yeon, Yi Do, Lee Min-hong.
Uh
[music fades]
[Min-hong] It feels awkward,
talking so casually.
-[Hyun-kyu] Huh?
-[Jeong-mok] Not me. Me?
-[Min-hong] Who is it?
-[Hyun-kyu] One person got an alert.
I'll be right back.
[mellow music playing]
-[Sang-ho] Is it the second vote?
-[Jeong-mok] Wait. Already?
Wait, wait.
Is it a different kind of vote today?
[Min-hong] We're voting tomorrow?
Oh, it's the selection date now?
[sighs heavily]
-[Jeong-mok] We're not evenly matched.
-This feels weird now.
[mellow music continues]
[music fades]
[chuckles]
-Hey. [chuckles]
-Hi.
[Hyun-kyu] So he picked her, then?
-[Sang-ho] Oh, that's right.
-[Hyun-kyu] They gave him a chance.
-[Seung-li] You're right.
-[Hyun-kyu] So now
[men exclaim]
[low dramatic music playing]
Oh, did you pick me? [laughs]
[both laugh]
Oh, why do I
What is your ideal type?
Me? Someone with a nice smile?
-Oh, I see. That's why you picked me, huh?
-[both laugh]
[Jae-yun] I was a little nervous.
I definitely got worried.
[cell phone chimes]
YI DO, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE SUITE
[dramatic music continues]
[Seung-chan] Welcome.
Hello.
[Jeong-mok] I suddenly felt
really nervous.
Do and I never got to connect.
[inaudible]
[Jeong-mok] I was here for a day longer,
but I didn't get any chances.
I wish I'd gotten a chance first.
