[bright groovy music playing]
NOH JAE-YUN
HA JEONG-MOK
[Jae-yun] Who's your date partner?
Oh, Min-hong?
[Jeong-mok grunts] Should I ask if
I can wear my glasses?
[Eun-ji] Who will he ask?
-[Han-na] Is he gonna ask Min-hong?
-[Eun-ji] Oh, you think?
Should I wear my glasses or not?
-Do it.
-Yeah? Okay.
That kind of makes my heart flutter.
You know, like when a guy
comes up to you before practice
and asks you to hang on to his watch
and phone so he can go play soccer?
[chuckling] Definitely.
No doubt that's an expression.
-Oh, does that make your heart flutter?
-[Han-na] For sure.
-"Hey, hang onto this." Kind of like that.
-[Han-na] Right.
[pleasant music playing]
Min-hong looks like she liked that.
[exhales heavily]
-[Jae-yun] What did she say?
-Wear them.
[Car] He does look pretty cool
with glasses on.
[Eun-ji] A person
looks gentler with glasses.
[Jeong-mok] Ugh,
this is making me nervous, suddenly.
ONE-ON-ONE DATE
MIN-HONG & JEONG-MOK
[Min-hong] Let's go.
[music fades]
What time did you sleep?
[Jeong-mok inhales deeply]
About 2:30? Maybe 3:00 in the morning?
Where'd you get those stickers?
Oh, did you see that?
-Of course.
-When did you see?
-I saw it this morning. Yeah.
-Really?
Well, I like stickers,
-so I brought my sticker collection.
-Really?
[mellow music playing]
Actually, because of the stickers,
I figured it was from Min-hong.
When we went on a date before,
I remember hearing that she'd brought
things to decorate her diary with.
I like decorating my diary
with stickers and stuff.
I brought a whole container of stickers.
-You did?
-[Min-hong] Yeah, I'll show you.
JEONG-MOK REMEMBERED HER WORDS
[Jeong-mok] So, I was sure
it was from Min-hong.
[enchanting music playing]
I was taken aback because he said,
"Where did you get the stickers?"
I think he totally caught on.
[Eun-ji and Car exclaim]
[inhales] Wow, he must be really good
at catching details.
[Eun-ji] He has a good eye for things.
And isn't it cooler that he asked,
"Where did you get the stickers?"
And not, "You wrote me a card, right?"
Yeah, he asked in a considerate way
so she doesn't feel pressured.
What did Jae-yun say about
my first impression last night?
Oh, he said I seemed bossy.
Right, he was kind of stammering
Not bossy, but like, "not a pushover." So
But I think my personality is like this
because I have a younger brother.
And he's not a chill brother,
he's pretty high energy,
so I think I also
I'm tough to deal with, huh?
-No.
-Aren't I?
Who told you that?
Well, just from what I've seen,
the other women seem really feminine,
in terms of personality.
You're feminine too.
-[Eun-ji gasps]
-[Han-na] Hey, he's
-[Car] What's up with Jeong-mok?
-I I doubt that's true.
Jeong-mok is practically Dex!
He's driving me crazy.
Min-hong must've brought that up because
Jeong-mok might think she's too tough too.
-Must've bothered her.
-[Eun-ji] Could be
But you know, when a guy tells you,
"I think you're cute,
I think you're cute," over and over,
-you can't help but act the part.
-Yeah, right.
-So, Jeong-mok really answered wisely.
-Good response.
Min-hong might show us another side of her
that we haven't seen before. Maybe.
[pleasant music playing]
Do you have a favorite drink?
I like beer, but I start feeling drunk
after a single pint. [chuckles]
-Yeah, I do too.
-[Han-na] Hey, something in common.
-Oh, really?
-Hey, me too.
And I retook the CSAT too.
I'm curious. I want to go.
[Han-na] She keeps saying "me too."
Sea or mountain?
The sea.
Me too. The sea.
But don't most people
like the sea? Or not?
No, lots of people prefer the mountains.
It seems like Min-hong
is changing before my eyes.
She seemed like an icy princess at first.
She did, but she's not.
-She's quite lovely.
-[Han-na] I know.
[Jeong-mok] Oh?
Is this it?
[Min-hong] Oh, yeah. Right, right.
"Ghost Town."
GHOST TOWN
A HAUNTED HOUSE EXPERIENCE
-[Han-na] What is this?
-"Ghosts?"
-[Eun-ji] Wow
-This could lead to body contact.
Oh, this is meant to
encourage physical contact, right?
-[In-guk] It naturally happens.
-[Han-na] Of course.
[Min-hong] I was so happy
to go to the haunted house.
-[Car] What?
-[Han-na] Why?
The thing about eternal singles
is that we're book smart about dating.
I heard that people's hearts race
while watching a horror movie,
but it makes them wonder
if their hearts are racing
because of the person they're with
or the movie they're watching.
I just hoped that Jeong-mok's heart
is racing because of me.
[whimsical music playing]
That's so cute.
-Seriously. She's adorable.
-Oh, my goodness.
[Eun-ji] It's hot out too, so getting
chills down your spine might be nice.
-[In-guk] Right.
-[Han-na] Oh.
[In-guk] So scary.
[Eun-ji] This place is scary.
Not your average haunted house.
Yeah.
-[Jeong-mok] Oh, people might pop out.
-Let's not do this.
-[eerie music playing]
-[Jeong-mok] Oh, man. I won't look.
[chuckles nervously]
Oh, man, it's shaking too.
-[eerie growling]
-Oh.
-That's terrifying.
-[Eun-ji] This place is brutal.
[Jeong-mok] God, that scared me.
Oh, that scared me.
[chuckles nervously] That scared me.
[eerie screaming]
-[Han-na] It's pitch black.
-Oh, no.
[Min-hong] My feet are
-I can't see where I'm going.
-Hang on.
-What should we do? Should I go first?
-[Min-hong] Yeah.
[deep growl]
Hold hands and walk.
[Jeong-mok] Which way is forward?
I can't see anything.
[growling continues]
[Min-hong] It's shaking too much.
[Eun-ji] Are they holding hands?
They are, right?
-Hold my hand.
-[Han-na] Did she take his hand?
-Did she?
-[Car] Did she?
-Oh, they're holding each other like this.
-She's holding his forearm.
I wasn't thinking about
grabbing his hand at all.
I don't remember,
but I probably grabbed him first.
Or maybe he told me to hold his hand,
so I first held his arm and kept
moving down, down, down, like that.
[cheerful music playing]
-I mean, I can't see anything.
-[loud shriek]
-My God.
-Oh, my God.
-I mean, I can't see anything.
-[loud shriek]
-My God. Jeez, that scared me.
-Oh, my God.
-That scared the crap out of me.
-Hang on.
-[Han-na] What's that?
-[Car] Linking arms?
-[Min-hong] That scared me so much. Jeez.
-Hang on. Oh, my
[shuddering] Oh Oh, holy hell.
[deep, eerie groaning]
-God, that startled me.
-Oh, my gosh. They're holding hands!
-[Car] They're just holding hands.
-[Eun-ji and Han-na exclaim]
At some point, I realized
we were holding hands. I was satisfied.
[cheerful music continues]
-[Car] She was very satisfied.
-[Han-na] Such a perfect date.
[music fades]
Did she hold my wrist? Or my hand?
But I was only thinking about
getting out of there as fast as I could,
so I can't really remember
where she grabbed me.
I didn't really think that much about it,
and I doubt it meant much to her either.
That's what I think.
-You're way off.
-[Eun-ji] That's incorrect.
-You just set a lady's heart on fire.
-[Han-na laughs]
[eerie groaning]
-[Jeong-mok] Oh.
-[gasps]
So sweaty.
It's okay.
-[exclaims]
-Wow.
[upbeat music playing]
[Jeong-mok] It's so hot, isn't it?
-[Min-hong] Aren't you thirsty?
-Let's get a drink.
Okay. I'm dying to hear
what they'll talk about now.
They could find out
how they feel about each other right now.
-[Jeong-mok] Let's eat.
-[Min-hong] Thank you for the food.
[Jeong-mok] Thank you for the food.
[music fades]
[Han-na] They need a lot of water.
-Eat up.
-Go ahead.
Elders first.
-[Han-na] "Elders first"?
-What? Oh, respecting your elders?
The older one eats first.
You're seriously so annoying.
[mellow music playing]
But what if you're not older?
If I'm not older?
Then you should just apologize.
Okay, I apologize
Jeong-mok is suddenly
being pouty because he feels shy.
-[In-guk] He totally is.
-Right?
I hate guys that get pouty
when they're shy.
[Car and Eun-ji laugh]
Wait, are you traumatized?
[In-guk] I think you are.
[Car] Why are you suddenly
getting so mad about that?
-That came out of nowhere.
-Were you reminded of someone just now?
Whatever! I wanna yell at him
or kill him!
-"Yell at him."
-You're suddenly throwing a fit in here.
[Han-na] "Being pouty when he feels shy."
-[laughs]
-[Han-na exclaims]
-[slurps]
-[mellow music playing]
-Oh, I brought my glasses too.
-What?
-I brought my glasses too.
-Oh, really? Where?
You wanna see them?
[Han-na] Oh, I think
she brought matching items.
[Eun-ji] You're right.
They're similar.
[Jeong-mok] Hmm.
Should I wear my glasses or not?
-Wear them.
-Okay.
[Eun-ji gasps] So cute. Matching glasses!
[Han-na] Earlier
-Oh, seriously?
-How do they look? Good?
-[In-guk] That's cute.
-[Car] She looks adorable.
-[Han-na] What is this?
-[chuckles]
-[Min-hong] Do I look okay?
-Yeah, it looks okay.
You have to tell me the truth.
[playful music playing]
I feel like I've seen you somewhere
What do you think?
-What?
-You like them?
I look cute.
You're right, you're cute.
[chuckles] Oh, what? Why?
-No?
-It's good.
Looks pretty.
-[Min-hong] Wow. Yeah.
-Can you see the sea from here?
[Jeong-mok] Let's check it out.
[Min-hong] Wow.
[enchanting music playing]
Wow, I should take a picture of this.
-Go ahead. I'll hold that for you.
-Oh, thank you.
Holding her purse? He's so smooth.
Yeah, Jeong-mok is so good at that.
[Car] They look good together, don't they?
-[gasps] The sky!
-[camera shutter clicks]
-[camera shutter clicks]
-Wow, so pretty.
[Jeong-mok] Take it! Take it!
Wow.
Wow.
[music fades]
Hey, uh, watch out.
[In-guk] Right, look after her.
Oh, don't You shouldn't go that way.
[enchanting music playing]
-Thanks.
-[Cupids exclaiming]
Oh, my goodness, kids.
[Han-na] What? They're actually on a date.
What is this?
Things feel different with these two.
[Min-hong] It was nice.
Actually, I was never interested
in younger guys before coming here.
They just didn't exist in my world.
[inhales]
But things have changed now.
MIN-HONG IS 2 YEARS OLDER
I think being able to communicate well
is more important to me than age.
I guess I liked how we could talk about
this and that and anything.
And then it felt nice to flirt
without even meaning to.
-[In-guk] She did flirt a lot.
-[Han-na] Right.
ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM THE DATE
What's your ideal type?
-My type?
-Yeah.
Someone who looks kind.
-[Min-hong] Hmm.
-Someone with a pretty smile.
[Eun-ji] Oh, wow!
[Min-hong] Mm.
-[Eun-ji] Oh, my gosh!
-That's all.
[chuckling] No, no.
I think it was my first time.
I did everything I wanted to do today.
Actually, I hope Jeong-mok
goes on a date with someone else.
I want him to be able to compare
and see that the date he had with me
was more fun
than anything he could do
with another girl.
Wow, I love this kind of confidence.
That's so impressive.
Honestly speaking,
I don't think our conversations
made me feel
really interested in her romantically,
but most of the time,
it felt like talking
to a close older friend.
Maybe it's because I have
Do in my mind as my top choice,
so I don't think of her
in that way exactly.
[mellow music playing]
Min-hong seems to be
Yeah, I think she's interested in me.
Which is nice.
I guess I'm going back and forth between
someone I like and someone who likes me.
I want to go for someone I like.
[Han-na] Ugh.
Seriously, Jeong-mok.
He should open his heart a little.
By the way,
I didn't think
that Min-hong, of all people,
would fall in love so quickly like this.
-Min-hong dislikes a lot of things.
-Right.
Like how someone walks,
how they use chopsticks
A lot of things she doesn't like, but now,
"Even a younger guy would be okay."
-[Eun-ji] I know.
-[Han-na] Hearing her say that
means she's totally
head over heels right now.
[Car] Totally, yeah.
Even if Jeong-mok
were to use one of those utensils
with the spoon and fork combined?
-Like in the military?
-[Eun-ji] Even if he carried that around,
-she'd be all right.
-She'd like that.
-Oh, instead of chopsticks?
-[Han-na] A spork.
-I have one at home.
-[Cupids laughing]
-She'd even be okay with that.
-[Han-na] Yeah, right? Right.
Oh, it's "Nice to meet you."
[In-guk] Yeah, but who?
-So, getting back to the cliffhanger
-[Car] I'm so curious.
[Eun-ji] God, I'm dying to know.
Please show us quickly.
-[Sang-ho] Hi.
-[woman] Oh.
[in Japanese] Hello. [chuckles]
Hello. [chuckles]
[whimsical music playing]
[Han-na in English]
He was really taken aback.
-[woman in Japanese] Hello.
-[in English] Hi.
[in Japanese] Nice to meet you.
-[in English] Nice to meet you.
-[Eun-ji] "Nice to meet you."
-[Cupids laugh and exclaim]
-[chuckles softly]
[Car] Oh, this is someone new.
I opened the door and went in, but then
she suddenly spoke Japanese to me,
so I was really surprised,
and even her appearance
She kind of looked Japanese.
So I was thinking,
"Does she not speak Korean?"
It's hard enough
talking to women in Korean,
but if she speaks Japanese
I kind of wanted to
just go home. [chuckles]
[in Japanese] Can you speak Japanese?
[in English] Uh, oh, I I'm Korean, so
-Ah.
-[Han-na] She doesn't speak Korean?
[laughs] I'm sorry,
I was trying to break the ice,
-so I thought I'd say "hi" in Japanese.
-Oh. Oh.
-What?
-[Han-na] Huh?
Oh, she's not Japanese.
[whimsical music playing]
-Uh, hello. [chuckles]
-Hello.
Oh, are you a new participant?
-Uh, yes.
-Oh, okay.
-[Cupids exclaim]
-[Sang-ho] Okay, well, hi.
Hello, I'm Kim Mi-ji,
and I've been single for 27 years.
-[Han-na] Her "before" look?
-Yeah.
[Mi-ji] I'm a Japanese teacher
at a high school.
[Car] Oh, she's a teacher.
[Mi-ji] My colleagues
at the school and my students
don't know
that I've been single since birth.
INTERVIEW WITH PRODUCERS
When I go to work,
I actually don't dress up like this.
I just dress comfortably with glasses on.
My students often tell me
to do something about my glasses.
-[chuckles]
-[staff laughing]
DO YOU HAVE ANY FLIRTING SKILLS?
What's my flirting technique?
I actually binge-watched
a lot of dating shows after I applied
to be on here. [chuckles]
I watched how they flirted
on those shows and thought,
"I should try this when I date."
I tried to remember those.
If you choose me,
I'll learn some flirting techniques
and show you how I use them.
-[chuckles]
-[staff laughing]
WHAT FLIRTING SKILLS DID YOU PREPARE?
My friends said that
since men like soccer,
it would help to memorize
some soccer players' names.
MEETING HER CUPID
I might suggest playing a game
where we state soccer players' names
ending in "Ba."
-So, like, Drogba, Muamba, Demba Ba
-Drogba. Muamba.
-Demba Ba.
-Pogba. That kind of thing.
Wow, that's pretty bad.
[both laughing]
What I do pretty often is
For example,
Mi-ji, you're over here. This hand
If the person you like is next to you,
you could do this and that,
like "What time is it?"
-"What time is it?"
-Ah.
-Did you feel that?
-Yeah.
Try that to me right now. I'm the guy.
-Right now?
-Yeah, I'm the guy. Like,
"I kind of want an iced Americano."
Wanna get coffee?
[giggles sheepishly]
[laughs hysterically]
That was great.
Your breath, timing,
the warmth of your hand
It was great.
But, "You wanna get coffee?"
doesn't quite cut it.
If it was me, I'd do this.
"Jeez, I want an iced Americano."
I want a latte.
-I want a latte.
-Huh?
-[In-guk] Good job!
-Just that much. That much, you know?
-[Han-na] You're really good.
-Back in the day,
I also thought flirting
was stuff like this,
like this, and like this
But it's not.
I think flirting is just showing
someone I'm interested in
what kind of charm I have.
-Oh, she's writing it down.
-[Han-na] She's taking notes.
Mi-ji was very eager to learn.
[charming music playing]
I applied because I wanted to try dating
before I turned 30.
So, if someone I'm interested in
is in front of me,
I think I'll try hard
to express my feelings honestly
and smile a lot.
[chuckles]
[Eun-ji] Oh, Mi-ji. You look so pretty.
KIM MI-JI
BOOK-LEARNED DATING NOVICE
She's charming, isn't she?
-[Car] Lovely.
-Very charming.
I think it's great
she got rid of her glasses.
-Her glasses are like, you know
-Right.
[Han-na] Yes.
with the really thick lenses
-A funny costume.
-They make her eyes look small.
[Han-na] She has
really big eyes without her glasses.
-Oh, you do have teacher vibes.
-Japan Oh, really?
I spoke Japanese earlier to break the ice,
but you looked so tense.
I didn't hear anything
about you, actually,
but since you were speaking Japanese
Ah. [laughs]
It was funny, but I was surprised, too.
Well, maybe I did feel
a little sad and left out,
but then I felt much better. Yeah.
It was nice.
Where are you from?
Oh, where do you think?
Gyeongsang?
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, could you tell from my accent?
Well, I'm from Gyeongsang Province too.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
-Where in Gyeongsang Province do you live?
-I'm from Gumi.
-Gumi. Oh, I see.
-Daegu, Gumi, near there.
-I'm from Have you heard of Changnyeong?
-I know Changnyeong.
-Oh, do you?
-Yeah, I've been there once.
-Oh, really?
-Right.
I'm from Changnyeong.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-[charming music playing]
-[both chuckle]
Oh.
-I feel more at ease meeting people
-Yes.
-from outside Seoul.
-Right?
I actually do too.
Meeting someone from outside Seoul
makes me feel relaxed.
And for a couple,
it'd be hard to live too far apart.
I guess it wouldn't matter
if you like someone.
-You do have to consider the distance.
-Yeah, realistically.
-[Eun-ji] He's a strategist.
-[Han-na] Thinking ahead.
He's thinking about
when they become a couple later.
Right now, Kim Sang-ho
is already dating in his mind.
[laughs]
[Mi-ji] We're the same age.
-So, we can be casual.
-[Sang-ho] Really?
-[Mi-ji] No formalities
-[Sang-ho] Oh, yeah. Okay.
[music fades]
-I think you'll be popular.
-Really?
You look
-like a Japanese celeb.
-Oh, really?
No, really. Like,
when I watch YouTube videos
You can watch Japanese shows,
translated into Korean.
And right now, it's like
I'm watching one of these shows,
-like when the camera cuts to an actress
-Wow.
-with great reactions, like
-What?
-Like a Japanese actress.
-An actress?
-Like a Japanese celebrity.
-An actress with good reactions?
-You seem so cheerful.
-Really?
[Mi-ji] Mmm.
[quirky music playing]
-Wow, since when does he give compliments?
-[Car] I know, right?
-So different from when he was with Ji-su.
-He must've felt comfortable.
-[Sang-ho] Close to my ideal type.
-[Han-na] Oh, she's his type?
Yeah, she's pretty close.
-[gasps]
-[Cupids exclaim]
Oh, she was his type.
She was Sang-ho's type.
She seems outgoing,
and she really listened and related to me.
And, like, the combination of
living close to me
and having a country vibe,
but looking kind of foreign.
I thought she was more interesting.
[In-guk] He must've fallen for her.
So, are you glad you came on this date?
Yeah, it was worth not getting picked.
It just seems like you
hesitated a bit just now.
-I didn't hesitate.
-[chuckles]
-[pleasant music playing]
-Hmm.
Honestly, I was curious.
Today, I feel rather lucky,
not to have been picked.
-Really?
-Lucky.
Really? Wow!
I was touched.
That's awesome. Me too.
I think I felt pretty relaxed
during the date.
We started out with how we both
came from Gyeongsang Province,
so the conversation felt easy,
like I could rely on him.
[pleasant music continues]
[inaudible]
[Sang-ho] My current top choice is
It seems a little too
Like I fell for someone too quickly,
but I think it's Mi-ji.
[Han-na exclaims]
If I could choose,
I think I'd go on a date with Mi-ji.
[inaudible]
[Han-na] Wow, he's totally smitten.
Oh.
But even when Ji-su
expressed herself so honestly,
-Sang-ho didn't give much feedback
-Yes.
-just mumbled his responses.
-So frustrating.
He never even spoke clearly.
How can he suddenly say
that Mi-ji is his top choice?
I think for Sang-ho,
Mi-ji is someone
he can talk to comfortably.
-I guess he felt at ease enough
-I think so.
that he could actually develop
-some feelings for her.
-[Eun-ji] Yeah.
So, Sang-ho's type must be someone
-who slowly eases her way into his heart.
-Makes sense.
You're right.
He likes something that feels natural.
I think that's the way he is.
But don't you think our show,
and the whole universe,
-maybe is oddly going in favor of Sang-ho?
-Right?
-He's just sitting there doing nothing.
-Yeah, we even gave him free time alone.
I know.
ONE-ON-ONE DATE
JI-YEON & JAE-YUN
[Han-na] Ji-yeon and Jae-yun
How will their date go?
[Car] Oh, I'm really curious.
[Ji-yeon] But the weather was
It was raining, but it cleared up.
That's nice, huh?
[pleasant music playing]
[Ji-yeon] I was so nervous. I was like,
"Oh, God. What do I do?"
But in the end, it turned out great.
Yeah, it was nice.
Ji-yeon really likes Jae-yun.
I know. Ji-yeon is finally going
on a one-on-one date.
[Ji-yeon] Wow, I've never seen
pink muhly before! Have you ever seen it?
[Jae-yun] I've never even
heard of it until now.
[Ji-yeon] Oh, really?
Oh, they should take
some pictures together.
[Ji-yeon] Wow. Oh, let's take
some selfies to show everyone.
[Jae-yun] Oh, selfies?
-Selfies are nice.
-[Han-na] Yes.
-[Ji-yeon] Go like this
-[Eun-ji] Nice. Nice.
[cheerful music playing]
-No, let's take them together.
-Oh, okay.
-Sorry.
-[Eun-ji] So cute.
[Han-na] He was gonna
take a selfie of just Ji-yeon?
[camera shutter clicks]
-[Eun-ji] Whoa, that's scary.
-[Han-na] Jae-yun, smile.
[In-guk] Oh, my God.
At least he's doing something.
-[camera shutter clicking]
-[Eun-ji] Oh, my dear Ji-yeon!
[music fades]
[Ji-yeon] Don't you think
small flowers like these are prettier?
-[Jae-yun] Yeah, violets are pretty too.
-Are they?
[Jae-yun] Oh, you could make jewelry.
[Ji-yeon] Yeah.
I could make a bracelet or a ring.
I'll make you one.
[charming music playing]
[Han-na] Ji-yeon.
-[Ji-yeon] There.
-Oh, hey!
[Han-na] On his pinky.
Good job, Ji-yeon.
That took so much courage from her.
One, two, three.
[camera shutter clicks]
[Eun-ji] Oh, I like how his hand
is so much bigger than hers.
[Ji-yeon] Should we go over there?
I think I wore the wrong pants today.
Oh, scary.
-Oh, need a hand?
-Oh, no.
[Eun-ji] Hey, good job, Jae-yun!
[Ji-yeon] It
It's better to walk sideways.
It's a bit better this way. Let's go.
[pleasant music playing]
When we went roller skating,
Jae-yun didn't show any interest.
But he gave me a hand
and was considerate of me today.
Seeing that made me think,
"He's really putting in an effort."
I liked that.
-Thank you for the food.
-Thank you for the food.
[Ji-yeon] It's good.
Oh, I'm curious about something.
How old do you think the other women are?
-How old?
-Yeah.
First of all
-Can you tell?
-Hmm?
Am I the same age, or younger,
or older? [chuckles]
Well
I think you're barely 20.
Me?
You're pretty good. [chuckles]
-[Jae-yun] Actually
-Pretty good.
-[Eun-ji] That must've been a joke.
-[Han-na] It was a joke.
[playful music playing]
-[Car] These two look so cute together.
-[Eun-ji] Yeah.
You're smiling. [chuckles]
Well, I think it's polite
to make eye contact.
But you can't?
I don't want it to seem like
I'm staring at you.
Oh, really? You can stare.
[chuckling]
[In-guk] Why are they so cute together?
[Car] They make a nice couple.
BEFORE THE MAKEOVER
Making eye contact is kind of hard.
I think I have a habit of,
like, looking down.
[quirky music playing]
[In-guk] That used to be him.
This is taking so much courage for him.
[Ji-yeon] And,
like,
I don't think
you have to be so careful either.
Hmm.
I guess
I try not to talk
so I don't cause any trouble.
[Ji-yeon] Hmm.
Like, in case I make a mistake.
But who doesn't make mistakes?
Hmm. That
If you make a mistake, just say,
"Sorry, shouldn't have said that,"
and move on.
And I don't think people will think
you're rude for doing that.
I don't think you have to
keep thinking about things like,
"Did I say the wrong thing earlier?"
Isn't it hard
to keep thinking about that all day?
Actually, I used to be like that too.
Right, right.
I was kind of the same way
How should I say this? It feels like
Like I was looking at myself.
I just thought,
"Oh, he must be thinking about that."
I could feel that on the inside,
so I just thought,
"It might be nice to tell him this."
[solemn music playing]
[Han-na sighs]
[Ji-yeon] When I first saw him, I thought,
"Oh, there's someone else like me here."
That was my reaction.
He was all fidgety
and kept reading people's reactions.
I had heard something like this
from someone,
and I think I've gotten better now.
So, I really wanted to tell
Jae-yun this too.
That was a big, big help.
Oh, really? I'm glad.
[Jae-yun] We have a lot in common,
and we connected on many levels.
It was easy to talk to her
about everyone, so I was happy.
Oh, that warms my heart.
-[Han-na] That's so kind of her.
-Yeah, she has a kind heart, really.
She's been through the same thing,
so she can see
the other person's struggles.
She can relate to him.
You know what I mean?
She's like, "I've been in pain before,
so I can see he's feeling that right now."
[Ji-yeon] You changed your mind?
Yeah, so for the first impression pick,
-I considered two people.
-Considering one or the other? Yeah.
But now, my top choice isn't
who I chose then. It's the other person.
[Ji-yeon] Mmm.
Mine's stayed the same.
[Han-na] It's been Jae-yun the whole time.
Oh, she said it herself,
but she's getting nervous.
[Han-na] Oh, my God!
[charming music playing]
But like So, now, when that person goes
on a one-on-one date with someone else,
or I see that their dynamic has changed,
I might feel some heartache,
because I haven't been interested
in anyone else.
There isn't anyone else for me.
I'll just go for it. [chuckles]
-[gasps] "I'll just go for it."
-That's so cool that she said that.
That's awesome.
-[Han-na] I love that.
-But did Jae-yun get it?
-I think Jae-yun understood her.
-[In-guk] I'm sure he got it.
[charming music continues]
That was really the best date
that I've had so far.
I think my interest in him
has gone up a lot more.
[music fades]
Before that,
I felt that we had a nice conversation,
not because of romantic attraction, but
because she's just
good.
But after that,
I wondered if I might've mistaken this
for a mutual attraction.
I suddenly had mixed feelings,
and I felt bad for her.
I think that was because
what my heart wants
isn't Ji-yeon.
Ah.
[inhales sharply]
-Jeez. [clicks tongue]
-[Eun-ji] Mmm.
She just said that she was going for it.
She said, "I'll just go for it."
I was wondering if Jae-yun
might have a change of heart,
but I don't think he did.
This is really sad, in a way.
[inhales sharply]
[light music playing]
[Eun-ji] They're back
from their dates now.
NOH JAE-YUN
HA JEONG-MOK
-[Jeong-mok] Jae-yun, you here?
-Yeah, I'm getting changed.
Oh, I should tell you
before I forget, right?
About what?
Ji-yeon's roommate is that person.
[Jeong-mok] Ji-yeon?
-Oh, you mean Do? Yeah.
-It's Do.
So, I asked her
Did you ask?
-Yeah.
-No, you can't.
[Han-na] Ah, how does Do feel?
Oh, was it too obvious?
-[Jeong-mok] Yes, and?
-Well, anyway, I asked.
Isn't she interested in Seung-li?
I could totally see it.
But anyway, well,
after hearing her reasons,
I understood why she chose Seung-li.
-I guess I could understand.
-Really?
-What reasons?
-[Eun-ji] Why?
There were reasons?
Didn't they just pick in order?
I heard something from Ji-yeon.
I asked what type of guy
her roommate likes.
Right.
Someone manly.
So
-No, not manly in a physical way.
-That's not me.
-Like how you act.
-Really?
I guess she likes someone who acts manly.
Yeah, yeah.
Someone who isn't so calculating
and is just direct, like a manly man.
[Jeong-mok] Hmm.
Just expressing himself
when he should, like that?
[Jeong-mok] Okay.
But still, Jae-yun's got some good
-He gave him some intel.
-Good information from somewhere.
-[up-tempo jazzy music playing]
-[Jeong-mok sighs]
[Jae-yun] Will you
Will you write a letter today?
[Jeong-mok] I should, yeah.
I thought that at this point,
I should find a reason to talk to her,
since I'm not getting a chance
to do so now.
[In-guk] Gotta make a move.
Oh, what should I write?
Oh, we should write them now.
What should I write?
Be direct and confident. Call her by name.
I'll just say, "I want to go on a date
with you tomorrow, Do."
Can I say that?
But since Do likes manly guys,
asking her out on a date
wouldn't be too bad.
-"I wanna spend time with you."
-Yeah.
-Be more forward.
-I want to spend time
-He's not in a position to give advice.
-I know.
-Jae-yun, what are you talking about?
-[Eun-ji laughs]
A MESSAGE HAS ARRIVED
[Jae-yun] We gotta go?
Hang on.
No, not yet.
[Ji-yeon] We should go pick out seats.
Oh, the seats.
[Car] The Eternal Singles' Night
has begun.
"Please gather in the Event Zone."
[low gripping music playing]
[Yeo-myung] I wanted to sit
next to Jeong-mok.
[Car] It's a mind game now.
[Yeo-myung] I usually like
sitting across from the person I like,
but I want to sit next to him
and talk to him more.
Since he said he likes sitting
next to someone he likes.
[Han-na] Right. Right.
Just go and sit down.
Nice, nice.
[Yeo-myung] But I arrived before he did.
[gripping music continues]
I forgot that we can't pick our spots
if we show up late.
[Jeong-mok] Hurry up.
The seat next to Yeo-myung is open, look.
[Car] She moved aside a little.
-[Han-na] Yes, good.
-[Car] Oh, she moved.
[In-guk] Oh, but this is
[Han-na and Eun-ji exclaim]
[Eun-ji] They sat like that.
[music fades]
Hey, where's Sang-ho?
[indistinct chatter]
[Jeong-mok] I guess he's not here.
[solemn music playing]
-Is someone still not here? No?
-Yeah.
[Ji-su] They could sit there.
It's empty over there.
THE SEAT NEXT TO JEONG-MOK IS STILL EMPTY
[Yeo-myung] The seat
next to him was empty,
but that was the center seat.
And we had to keep that open
for the new person.
I couldn't have her sit at the end.
So, I had no choice but to stay here.
[Eun-ji] Oh, Yeo-myung
keeps missing her chance.
Hey, something smells nice.
I think someone is wearing cologne.
[Hyun-kyu] Is someone wearing cologne?
-Who is it?
-Oh, yes, yes. He is.
[Seung-chan] It's Jae-yun.
[Hyun-kyu] I could smell it
from over there.
-[Ji-yeon] No.
-Did I use too much?
-[Hyun-kyu] I could smell it.
-Not too much.
-[Hyun-kyu] You're wearing cologne for
-What scent is that?
It's like grassy
You could sit there.
Kind of a grassy and woody scent?
Like that.
Oh, does it smell bad?
[Yeo-myung] What?
No, but I I use this scent too.
-I have it too.
-Oh, you use the same scent.
[Jeong-mok] Oh, right.
You two are perfect for each other.
[Han-na] Hey, he's happy.
[Jae-yun] I have this fragrance.
And it was kind of similar
to the scent that Yeo-myung likes.
The fragrance I use
has a similar grassy smell.
-She said she uses the same scent.
-Oh, I see.
[mellow music playing]
[spraying]
Should I spray some more?
Can you smell it?
Maybe I should put on more.
-[Jeong-mok] Slather it on.
-Okay.
-[Jeong-mok] That much is hard to miss.
-Right?
[Jeong-mok] Good.
Yeo-myung said that
she also had a perfume like that,
so I was surprised.
[indistinct chatter]
[music fades]
Does anyone need a straw?
-Should I get some?
-[Do] I'm gonna get some from the Lounge.
-I'll bring them.
-I need one.
-You shouldn't go in those shoes.
-[Do] Oh, but I
I'll go.
-I'll go.
-[Yeo-myung] Wait for me.
[Jeong-mok] Jae-yun.
Jae-yun.
[Jae-yun] Oh, right.
-[Yeo-myung] Let's go together.
-[In-guk] So obvious.
Let's go together. Come on.
[moody music playing]
Jeong-mok got up
and went to get some stuff we needed.
So, I got up and said I'd come too.
But he suddenly sat back down
and told Jae-yun to go instead,
-like, "Jae-yun, you should go."
-[Han-na sighs]
So, the two of us went instead.
Yeah, I've been rejected so many times.
But my guess is that,
since they're roommates,
Jae-yun said he was interested in me,
and Jeong-mok must've said
he liked someone else,
so they could be
trying to help each other out.
That's what I figured.
[Han-na] She sensed that.
[Car] Right, it's pretty obvious.
God, that was way too obvious.
They should've all gone together.
-But right then, to Jae-yun
-Oh, my God.
That'll only
hurt her feelings more, right?
[Han-na sighs]
[Ji-yeon] Eternal Singles' Night.
Eternal Singles' Night.
[all] Cheers!
[pleasant music playing]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[In-guk] I guess
they're just getting back from their date.
[music fades]
-Didn't you hear a car?
-[Ji-su] Oh?
[contestants exclaim]
[Ji-su] Oh, wow! [gasps]
[soft charming music playing]
-I can see her. Oh, my God.
-[Jeong-mok] I saw her.
-[Ji-su] Welcome.
-[contestants greeting]
This is our new member.
[in Japanese] Good evening.
Nice to meet you.
[Seung-chan in English] Go this way.
It's narrow here.
[Ji-su] It's too narrow.
-[Seung-chan] This is
-[Do] Wow.
-[Mi-ji in Japanese] Good evening.
-[Seung-chan in English] Come this way.
-[Min-hong] She's Japanese.
-[Seung-chan] No.
-She just said "good evening" in Japanese.
-[Seung-li] Really?
[Jeong-mok] I thought
she was really Japanese.
-So, I was like, "What do we do?"
-[Seung-li] Really?
-Hey!
-[all] Hello!
-Hello.
-[Mi-ji] Oh.
-[in Japanese] Please introduce yourself.
-[Cupids laughing]
-[in English] Hello, I'm not Japanese.
-[Do] Hello.
My name's Kim Mi-ji,
and I'm the new eternal single.
I'm excited to meet you guys.
Nice to meet you.
[mellow midtempo music playing]
[Jae-yun] Right away,
she seemed very kind.
[Seung-chan] I was wondering
if she had lived abroad.
[Seung-li] She looked pretty nice.
[music fades]
-[Mi-ji] Someone sitting here?
-What'll they do this time?
TONIGHT, THE WOMEN WILL REVEAL
THEIR INFORMATION
-[Han-na] They should do it now.
-Age and job. I'm curious. So curious.
-They should reveal that.
-[In-guk] Yeah.
-[Ji-yeon] The moment of truth.
-[Seung-li] I was dying to know.
[exhales softly]
I was dying to know about this.
This is great.
[Yeo-myung] The leading lady of the night?
[contestants exclaim and applaud]
-[Jeong-mok] Let's hear her story.
-[Ji-su] Right.
I was born in '98.
-[women exclaim]
-Ah.
-[Min-hong] Everyone's born in '98
-Yes, I'm a Japanese teacher.
[contestants exclaim, laugh]
That fits you. [chuckles]
[Mi-ji] You really think so? Thanks.
-Go on, pick someone.
-[Hyun-kyu] Choose.
-Choose someone?
-[Mi-ji] Kang Ji-su.
What year do you think I was born?
KANG HYUN-KYU, AGE 26
I just think you're older than me.
-So, like, 28 years old?
-[Seung-chan] You think she's older.
[Seung-chan gasps]
[Ji-su] I'm
-[Hyun-kyu] Wait, really?
SHE'S THE SAME AGE AS HYUN-KYU
-[Jeong-mok] Big mistake.
-[Sang-ho] What? Seriously?
But he kept saying I was older.
No, but she seemed so mature. That's why
So, I told him, "Treat me like I'm older.
Speak formally."
-I treated her with respect. I really did.
-And he actually did that.
[Seung-chan] Oh, I guess
you really thought she was older.
-[Hyun-kyu] Yeah.
-[playful music plays]
I'm totally shocked.
I didn't know we were the same age.
But I've never been involved
with anyone older, so,
I guess I'm relieved
that we're the same age?
And your job?
I
I majored in dance.
I studied ballet in particular.
-[Ji-yeon] Totally fits.
-[Min-hong] Teach me.
[Do] Awesome.
-[Ji-yeon] Makes sense.
-[Min-hong] I wanna learn.
[upbeat music playing]
[Ji-su] I'm a ballet teacher
and I teach at a ballet studio.
Fold it in a bit. Keep your hips steady.
Look to your left elbow,
and lean into a cambré back.
And right back up.
I teach lessons
in the early morning and afternoon.
[Eun-ji] That's cool.
KANG JI-SU, AGE 26
BALLET INSTRUCTOR
Ooh!
[Min-hong] Wow,
I wanna go and learn some ballet.
[Seung-li] I thought she might be
like a news anchor or something like that,
but this was unexpected.
It doesn't change my opinion, though.
[music fades]
[Ji-su] I'm actually
-most curious about Do. I can't read her.
-[Sang-ho] Me too.
I don't think we could guess correctly.
[charming music playing]
[Jeong-mok] I was
especially curious about Do.
I wanted to know how old she was first.
My age
[music fades]
Born in '98.
[gasps]
[contestants exclaim]
-We're all the same age.
-I'm not.
Really? I thought you'd be older than me.
[whimsical music playing]
I actually thought she'd be older,
so it didn't faze me at all.
How should I address her?
Would it be okay if I just
call her by her name?
As of now,
age doesn't really matter to me,
whether she's older,
the same age, or younger than me.
And your job?
I think you might be in entertainment,
like a YouTuber.
But with pink hair, I'm guessing
you aren't a regular office worker.
-Right?
-Of course. Of course.
Currently
I work as an online lecturer.
[contestants exclaim]
-Geography?
-[Han-na] She's the brains.
-[Yeo-myung] Which subject?
-I teach geography.
-I told you she was a geography teacher.
-[Min-hong] I knew it. She knew so much.
[Hyun-kyu] So that's why
you were so good with geography.
-[Do laughs]
-[gripping music playing]
I'm from Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province.
What is Gumi known for?
The electronic industry.
[laughs]
-I'm from Unjeong.
-Do you live in Unjeong?
[Yeo-myung] You know where that is?
Oh, I know. It's okay.
-[Yeo-myung] Oh, really? Yes, right.
-Unjeong New Town. I know.
-I'm from North Chungcheong.
-[Do] Where?
-Cheongju. That's my parents' home.
-[Jeong-mok] Oh.
-Is that north of Hongseong?
-No, that's not even close.
-Is it?
-Sejong, Daejeon.
-[Ji-yeon] Totally.
-Cheongju is to the right.
-Cheongju has a population of 850,000.
-[Hyun-kyu] How do you know all that?
-[Do] I know.
-Do you Do you work for Korail?
-What? No, no, no. I just
-[Han-na] Oh, my.
[Car] She's totally a geography teacher.
She was dropping hints
that she knows geography.
-Right.
-She couldn't hold it in.
-All her knowledge.
-[Han-na] Right. Oh, boy.
I can't figure anything out about Ji-yeon.
[Hyun-kyu] Hmm.
-[Min-hong] She's a mystery.
-Hmm.
I was born in '99.
-[Seung-li exclaims]
-[chuckles]
-We're the same age!
-[Hyun-kyu] We're the same age.
-I majored in music composition
-[Ji-su] Wow.
and I create the background music
for metaverses or for game companies.
[contestants exclaim]
[Seung-chan] Wow, that's so cool.
[upbeat music playing]
[Ji-yeon] I'm a music producer.
What about adding this effect
to the bass line?
Let's just wipe that so it doesn't clash
with anything else.
Oh, okay.
-I never imagined she worked in music.
-[Eun-ji] It really suits her.
Seriously. It totally does.
[inaudible]
[Ji-yeon] I've been working on commission,
but from now on,
I want to start making my own music too.
PARK JI-YEON, AGE 26
MUSIC PRODUCER
-[Jeong-mok] Oh, really?
-[Hyun-kyu] Wow.
[Jae-yun] There were some games
I loved when I was young,
and they had memorable background music,
so when Ji-yeon said
she composed music for games,
that left an impression.
I choose Min-hong.
[Seung-li] Min-hong.
[Hyun-kyu] Go on.
So, I studied fashion marketing in school,
and I've been working as a stylist
and fashion marketer until now,
but I'm in the process of switching jobs.
[exclaims]
[upbeat music playing]
[Min-hong] My current goal is to become
a fashion brand marketer.
I wanted to work in e-commerce in Korea,
so I used to work at company C,
but right now, I want to
go back to fashion marketing,
which is what I love.
Sometimes, I analyze
a whole season's worth of fashion shows.
I'm even putting together a portfolio.
[Eun-ji] Oh, cool.
LEE MIN-HONG, AGE 28
IN BETWEEN JOBS, FASHION MARKETING
I did notice that
she dresses particularly well.
-Right. She's stylish.
-[Han-na] Right, I noticed her purse too.
-And your age?
-[Seung-li] How old are you?
I think she may be older than I thought.
[contestants chuckle]
-I think she's been working for a while.
-[Do] Really?
-[Ji-su] But she looks young.
-[Seung-chan] '97?
-[Sang-ho] Oh.
-I was born in '97.
-[contestants exclaim]
-I knew it.
HA JEONG-MOK, AGE 26
-[Do] I thought you were my age.
-I'm older than you guys.
-[Hyun-kyu] We're all around the same age.
-But I knew you were roughly my age.
-[Seung-chan] But
-But what if she's the oldest?
-[Sang-ho] Right.
-[Do] I don't think that's the case.
-[Ji-su] She might be.
-Let me take a guess.
-[Yeo-myung] Guess.
-A pretty college girl.
[laughs]
Oh, I thought she looked
like a college student too, in a way.
Right, maybe
a nursing student or something.
First of all, I am a college student.
[contestants exclaim]
-[Do] Ah.
-[Seung-li] Hmm.
I interned at a local
credit guarantee fund,
and I'm applying to jobs
in the finance sector.
-Oh-ho.
-[upbeat music playing]
[Yeo-myung] I'm a college student
majoring in business administration.
Since I'm actively job-seeking now,
I spend most of my time studying.
And then I write cover letters and things
that interest me in my free time.
KIM YEO-MYUNG, AGE 26
COLLEGE STUDEN
[music fades]
-I was born in '99.
-[Jeong-mok] What?
-Same age.
-[Hyun-kyu] All about the same age.
Hey, buddy, I told you
we were the same age.
[Sang-ho] We all are.
I told you she was the oldest girl.
Stop that. [chuckles]
[Do] You should've guessed
two years lower.
[Hyun-kyu] Oh, a message.
[Ji-su] For For women, their age
KIM MI-JI,
PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE SUITE
-Like What?
-I
-[Ji-yeon] See you later.
-Going to the Suite?
-[Mi-ji] Where is the Suite?
-The Suite is Go that way and turn left.
But I wanted to stay longer.
[pensive music playing]
IN USE
[inhales]
[Han-na] Still, she gets to choose
-[Car] Right.
-two men that she liked the most.
But will she pick Sang-ho again?
After such a long date?
Currently, my top choice is Mi-ji.
If I get a one-on-one date with her,
I'll try to lead the conversation.
I think Sang-ho got his hopes up.
He put his hands together like
-[cell phone chimes]
-[Ji-yeon] Hmm?
Who'll it be?
[Eun-ji] It's not Sang-ho. Seung-li?
LEE SEUNG-CHAN, PLEASE ENTER THE SUITE
[In-guk and Eun-ji] Seung-chan!
-[Jeong-mok] Game changer.
-[laughter]
-[Hyun-kyu] Game changer.
-[Car] Game changer.
[Ji-yeon and Hyun-kyu laughing]
[pensive music playing]
[music fades]
[door keypad beeping]
[door unlocks, beeps]
-[Seung-chan] Hello.
-Oh, hello.
Well, just come right in.
[both chuckle]
-Please sit.
-So, actually, I was here yesterday
-Really?
-just like you.
Oh, you have some experience then.
[both chuckle]
Thank you for picking me.
Jeez, no.
[chuckles]
You wanna know why I picked you?
Yeah, I really do.
Will you
[chuckles] Are you gonna tell me?
[mellow music playing]
So, when we were talking,
you seemed to speak so well
and keep the conversation flowing
Oh, I see.
and I'm looking for someone
who's cheerful and energetic.
-[Seung-chan] Hmm.
-Yeah. [laughs]
-So, I liked that about you.
-Hmm.
Yeah, you seem to make people
feel at ease.
I kept thinking
-[chuckles] "Do I stick out too much?"
-No, no, no.
Especially for us eternal singles,
-we need someone to lead the mood.
-Oh, really?
[Seung-chan] I guess
I must be doing a good job.
I was going to ask why she picked me,
but I didn't even have to,
she just told me. So, I thought,
"Oh, she must be
a very confident and honest person."
-[inaudible]
-[music fades]
Yeah, she left. She went over there.
-Huh?
-[cell phones chime]
-[Do] Oh, what's that?
-[Hyun-kyu] What?
"The random spot date will begin."
We're doing the spot date.
[Car] Today,
the men will go to a certain spot.
-[Han-na] The women will visit them.
-[Yeo-myung] Everyone, take an envelope.
-Let's move quickly.
-Are these for the men?
[Yeo-myung] Yeah, the blue one.
-Take one, pass it on.
-It's random anyway.
-[Ji-su] Yeah, random.
-[Hyun-kyu] All random.
-This is your fate.
-[Hyun-kyu] Jae-yun. Hey, look at this.
I hope Do and Jeong-mok
-get to have a date.
-[Car] Yes.
-Or maybe Yeo-myung and Jeong-mok.
-Yeo-myung and Jeong-mok.
I hope the ones who've
missed each other get to meet.
[Han-na] Right.
[insects trilling]
[whirring]
-Peekaboo.
-Hey. Hi.
[Min-hong] Peekaboo.
Do you want some wine?
[Car] These two
don't have feelings for each other, right?
-[Eun-ji laughing]
-[Car] A little liquid courage.
-That good?
-Yeah.
Aren't you supposed to
hold red wine like this?
Just drink however the hell you want.
-"However the hell"?
-[all laughing]
-They don't care about each other at all.
-They don't care at all.
They don't care. I bet they'd scrub
each other's backs and not catch feelings.
-[Car] No feelings involved.
-Totally could.
[Car] They really could.
-It's a best friend vibe.
-They're just drinking. That's awesome.
[glasses clink]
How However the hell I want. Okay.
-That's nice.
-How'd it go today?
-Well
-Yeah.
You seem pretty excited today.
Yeah. I worried about being too nervous.
-In the end, it wasn't worth the worry.
-You worry a lot.
Being worried
doesn't help the situation in the end.
If worrying made it go away,
I wouldn't be worried.
-And it wasn't worth the worry.
-Oh, of course.
-Aren't I a good big sis?
-Oh, yeah.
You should say, "Thanks, ma'am."
You're born in '80?
[playful music playing]
-'97.
-Just kidding.
-[In-guk] He likes jokes like that.
-How about you?
-'98.
-'98?
-I am older.
-Yes, you are.
[Han-na] Min-hong is treating him
like a younger brother all of a sudden.
-I was mistaken.
-Right.
-We didn't like the same person.
-You thought
you and your roommate liked the same girl?
It turns out that we don't.
LAST NIGH
-I have a pretty clear ideal type.
-Oh, really?
Who is it? You like Do too?
It's Yeo-myung.
Yeo-myung? I didn't know.
-Actually, my top choice is
-Yeah?
The person who sat next to me.
Yeo-myung?
Oh, okay.
Until you said that,
I really thought you liked me.
-[chuckles]
-[whimsical music playing]
-That's how bad my hunch is.
-Oh.
I always count my chickens
before they even hatch.
I'm not even joking.
I'm practically a chicken farmer.
-[chuckles]
-[laughs]
-She did get ahead of herself.
-[Han-na] Yeah.
-[Car] Right.
-Oh, I never even imagined.
-[Min-hong] Right, sorry.
-I mean, okay.
[music fades]
So, do you feel totally at ease now?
I do, but
Yeah, but you also feel anxious.
I mean, I feel anxious too.
I liked how things went today.
I had fun, but the other person
might not feel the same way.
Hmm. Oh, right.
Why? Do you know?
If you do, tell me.
Your big sis gave you some advice.
Oh, but I didn't really ask
much about his date, so Yeah.
I'm worried
Jeong-mok might not be interested in me.
It's not that.
[whimsical music playing]
Then I shouldn't worry?
No, I don't think
you should be too worried.
Okay, thank you.
You can come to me
if something's on your mind.
Mmm.
Okay.
-Aw. They're best friends.
-[Han-na] Yeah, they've gotten close.
They could give each other good advice,
with a dynamic like this.
-[Han-na] They're comfortable.
-Yeah.
Min-hong could ask about Jeong-mok,
since Jae-yun and Jeong-mok are roommates.
Right, yes, they could.
PATIO
JEONG-MOK
Who will come to Jeong-mok?
[Do] I was hoping Do would come.
[gentle music playing]
[In-guk] I wonder who it'll be.
[music fades]
-[Han-na] What?
-[Car] Hey!
Be good, Jeong-mok.
What? [gasps]
-It's Do.
-[Eun-ji] Is it Do?
-[exclaims joyfully]
-[Han-na] Wow!
[enchanting music playing]
Be good, Jeong-mok.
Hi, Do.
[Do] Hello.
Hello.
[chuckles]
[Han-na] I guess
he fell for her at first sight.
[Jeong-mok] For the first impression pick,
I voted for Do.
Then I'll go with tea.
[Eun-ji] Oh, right.
THEY MISSED EACH OTHER ON THE FIRST DATE
YI DO, PLEASE ENTER THE SUITE
"Across from the forest?"
[Han-na] Right, Jeong-mok
was only looking at Do back then too.
[Jeong-mok] I didn't have
any opportunities.
I wish I had had a chance first.
JEONG-MOK HAD ALWAYS LIKED YI DO
Ever since the very beginning,
Jeong-mok has been into Do.
-Finally, Jeong-mok gets his chance too.
-[Eun-ji] I hope time goes by slowly.
Great.
[Jeong-mok] I was so happy.
We actually didn't have
any chances to talk before this,
but I finally got my opportunity.
I thought I should take this time
-to really get to know her.
-[Han-na] Do it!
This is the bench
in front of the rooms, right?
-Yeah.
-Right.
You're not drinking?
-I'm actually trying not to drink alcohol
-Yeah, okay.
-Right.
-since my throat doesn't feel good.
I'm trying to drink water.
Okay.
Okay, thanks for understanding.
-[Han-na] He's really happy right now.
-[Eun-ji] He looks too excited.
-[squeals]
-[Han-na] This kid
Jeong-mok seems mesmerized.
-Has he ever put on such a big smile?
-What? When he's with the other girls,
he looks totally different.
-[Do] Hey, we finally get to talk.
-I know.
We haven't had the chance.
I've been wanting to
-I know.
-talk to you.
[chuckles softly]
[Do] Hmm.
Right. Hmm.
-[In-guk] So, talk!
-[Eun-ji] Go on.
What should we talk about?
I thought about it, but I'm blanking.
[whimsical music playing]
Too many bugs.
It's fine.
I'm just slightly afraid of big ones.
-In my room, there's a huge grasshopper.
-Yeah.
We can't catch it,
so we're just living with it.
-A grasshopper, your new girlfriend?
-Wanna see?
-No.
-It should still be there.
Will you bring it out like this?
What will you do?
You can see it
if you go like this by the door.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah. [chuckles]
You don't have to.
Oh, but shouldn't you catch it like this
and let it go outside?
I'm scared.
[Jeong-mok] Once I was
actually facing her,
I was so nervous that I didn't know
what my face was doing or what I said.
[music fades]
So
You picked Seung-li for your date?
Yeah, I was curious.
-You were curious?
-Yeah.
Hmm.
How was your date
Well, it
Oh, me first. The date
That's when I remembered the question
I read in the 5 Minute Library.
-[gasps] Right, right.
-[exclaims]
[Jeong-mok] What she wants to hear
after a guy she likes
comes back from a date with someone else.
She had said
that she wants to hear what they did,
but that nothing much happened.
The date
-It was fun.
-Was it?
Yeah, it was
comfortable.
But, like, nothing much happened.
-[Han-na chuckles]
-[chuckles] Oh, really?
-Yeah. Nothing much. Yeah.
-The haunted house?
[Eun-ji] Did she catch
"Nothing much happened"?
-She'd catch it.
-[Eun-ji] Right?
She must know
he went to the 5 Minute Library.
-Yeah. Right.
-She should know he read her diary there.
-[Jeong-mok] What?
-I see.
I still had fun.
-It sounded fun.
-Yeah, it was cool.
But, like [clicks tongue]
Yeah.
-It was nice. Yeah.
-Nice.
-So
-Mm-hmm?
Can I ask who you voted for
in the first impression pick?
Am I allowed to tell you?
Yeah, I think so.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Mmm
-Should I go first?
Okay.
I voted for you.
Oh, really?
That's why I'm asking. I'm curious.
I voted for you too.
I voted for you too.
[Eun-ji and Han-na scream]
-[Han-na chuckles]
-[Eun-ji laughs]
What? What if they hit it off now?
I voted for you too.
-Really?
-Yeah.
[enchanting music playing]
Oh.
I see.
At first
-Oh.
-I did, I did.
Really?
But I just didn't get a chance
to talk.
Right. We got a chance on the third night.
[Do] He said, "I voted for you."
I was so shocked hearing that,
I got all confused.
[Jeong-mok] She said she voted for me.
I was actually surprised.
How do I
We chose each other, so
Oh?
Something like this is happening to me?
[chuckles]
I don't really know why she chose me,
but I think I just thought,
"I'm glad. I'm thankful."
"If we grow closer from now on,
things could actually work out."
I was really happy.
-God, to find this out on the third night.
-[In-guk] It's like fate.
-Yes, right.
-Things are really falling into place.
God, I'm so happy for these two.
I think I think
something might happen for these guys.
-I guess that can really happen
-[In-guk] Right.
[Do] Mmm.
I had no idea.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I figured you picked someone else.
Who did you think I picked?
I thought Min-hong.
Min-hong?
You guys were talking a lot.
Well, we were paired up to cook together.
Oh, I see.
But thank you.
-I thought I had zero votes until now.
-Why?
-I thought I did too, but I guess not.
-Yay!
[chuckles softly]
[Eun-ji] She said, "Yay,"
and he looks that happy?
That's love right there. What will he do?
YOUR 15 MINUTES IS UP
-No!
-[In-guk] That's a shame.
-[Car] Oh, bummer!
-[Do] Yeah, it was good seeing you.
We finally got to talk.
-See you soon.
-You have to stay here.
-Yeah, I'll stay.
-Yeah, bye.
[pleasant music playing]
[groans softly]
I thought it would've been nice
to have some more time.
But this wasn't a set date.
It was just random,
so I didn't have
any questions prepared or anything.
I tried my best,
but I did feel kind of disappointed
that we didn't get more time
to talk to each other.
Can't they say something like,
"After everything is done,
let's meet at the pool for a bit."
-Why aren't they doing that?
-Why aren't they doing that?
-They're not talking more on their own.
-Why are they only doing as they're told?
Why, at 10:00 p.m.?
What time did they go to bed?
-What time did they go to sleep?
-[Han-na] But
Tell me. What time did they go to bed?
-Probably at 9:30.
-[Eun-ji] 9:30?
-That's why they're single since birth.
-[Eun-ji] They have lights-out?
Yeah. They go to bed at 9:30
and wake up at 6:00.
But why would they do that?
I bet these guys ask permission
before going to the bathroom.
-[laughs]
-[Car] No way.
-[Han-na] They go when allowed.
-[Car] They're way too nice.
[sighs in exasperation]
-Should we cheers?
-Sure.
Cheers!
[Car] Mi-ji chose Hyun-kyu. Okay.
[Han-na] So she chose
Seung-chan and Hyun-kyu.
[Car] Just in terms of looks.
[slow groovy music playing]
-Should we pick?
-[In-guk] Oh, the second round?
-Did you just pick randomly?
-Yeah.
Anything is fine by me.
[Do] Oh, I must be going
to the same place.
[Ji-su] Wait, where's the Rooftop?
-[Min-hong] Let's go.
-[Ji-yeon] I'll be back.
[mellow music playing]
[Jeong-mok] I thought,
"It would be nice if Do came again."
[Car] Is it Min-hong this time? Oh.
[In-guk] Look at her face.
[Eun-ji] Oh, not Do.
I don't think it's Do.
[In-guk] Oh, Yeo-myung?
Mmm.
[music fades]
[enthralling music playing]
-Oh, my God.
-[In-guk] Who is it?
[woman] Jeong-mok,
be good.
[Han-na and Eun-ji gasp]
[Han-na] What?
What?
-Is it Do again?
-[Han-na] Did Do pick him twice?
-Wow, things are working out.
-[Car] Oh, check it out!
-I think they'll end up together.
-[Han-na] This is gonna happen.
[Eun-ji] What is this?
How could this happen?
This is great. This is fate, right here.
[Han-na] Wow.
-[Do] Again?
-Oh, you're here again?
[Do] We're matched again. [chuckles]
[Jeong-mok] The cosmos must be guiding us.
Until now, we didn't get a chance to talk,
but now I'm getting my chance
to get to know her.
I mean, I'm not religious, but
maybe I should use this chance
to express my feelings.
[music fades]
Wow. I mean, what is this?
We didn't have time to talk until now,
so should get everything out?
-Mm-hmm.
-I was just shocked now.
-How could both
-I never even imagined.
Disappointed?
No, I'm not,
because we didn't get to talk much before.
-I'm curious about that, though.
-What?
So, like now
Yeah.
Do you have feelings for someone or not?
-Out of the people here.
-Do I like someone?
-I do.
-Really?
Hmm.
-Yeah.
-Oh.
-You don't, do you?
-No, it's not that.
Okay.
-I thought the men
-Yeah.
weren't particularly
interested in anyone.
Hmm.
Because we don't
show our feelings that much?
Yeah, so I thought,
"What should we even do?"
Yeah. This is news to me.
I was thinking about it, actually.
When should I, like
Should I just say how I feel?
Oh.
If you get to choose
-your date partner tomorrow
-Mm-hmm.
like we did today
-Yeah.
-who would you choose?
I'll choose you, of course.
-Why?
-What?
I wanted to date you from the beginning.
-Really?
-Yeah.
[enchanting music playing]
That never occurred to me.
On the first day
-Yes? Right.
-We had to choose the drinks.
-I saw that you had chosen tea
-Yes.
-so I was gonna pick that too.
-Yes.
-But I didn't have a choice.
-Ah.
[Do] Jeong-mok was being
really direct about his feelings.
Actually,
I was kind of flustered too because
the girls talked
amongst ourselves last night.
There were a few who said
they were interested in Jeong-mok.
But since he was suddenly telling me
that he liked me,
I felt so confused,
like, "What should I do?"
But also, on the other hand,
I felt really hurt by Seung-li,
so it was just this huge shock
and mixture of feelings all of a sudden.
You don't want to date me?
No, that's not it.
It's just a shock.
I feel like someone smacked me just now.
You hit me, didn't you?
-I guess I did.
-[chuckles]
[Jeong-mok] I think
I felt more attracted to her as a woman.
Just the way she talks.
How she laughs.
I think I could see it more now,
since I was solely focused on her.
I thought, "I should express
how I feel more directly and openly."
And I should try as hard as I can
to go on a date with Do tomorrow.
-[Car and Eun-ji exclaim]
-[Han-na gasps]
-Oh, this guy He's good.
-[Han-na and Eun-ji laughing]
This little punk is good.
Jeong-mok must've thought,
"Here's my chance," and just went for it.
[Han-na] Yes, right, right. That's cool.
And during the second date,
after he became more relaxed,
-you could really see Jeong-mok's charm.
-Yes.
It's different
from the first 15-minute date too.
Smiling and saying,
"Don't you wanna date me?"
[Han-na] I know.
To a certain degree,
Jeong-mok could've sensed,
"Oh, this might actually work,"
during their conversation.
-Yes, there's hope for him now.
-[In-guk] Right.
[Car] This is
kind of a discreet place, right?
[sighs]
-Should I take off my shoes?
-[Seung-li] Oh. Ji-su.
CARAVAN
SEUNG-LI & JI-SU
[In-guk] Is it a fateful day or what?
-Finally.
-[Eun-ji] He said, "Finally."
-[Seung-li] We finally get to meet.
-Seriously.
Oh, you can sit here.
-Here's a good spot.
-Okay.
I sat here yesterday.
Here?
[groovy enchanting music playing]
[Seung-li] Oh, I was so happy.
Today was the first time ever.
I've been waiting for this moment.
I'm gonna try to express as much as I can.
My heart was racing.
[music fades]
-So, are you having fun?
-Me?
-Why are you speaking formally?
-Oh.
Wait, how old are you?
I think you're older than me.
Born in '98.
Oh! Can I speak casually?
Yeah, sure, go ahead.
-I don't really care about that stuff.
-Oh, really?
How'd it go?
-Me?
-Yeah.
My date? It was fun.
-Fun? Tell me more, give me details.
-Okay, in detail?
Well, I have two people I'm interested in,
to be honest.
But the gap between my number one
and number two is very big.
But as for today, well, to be honest
I mean, I didn't tell Do this,
but she wasn't one of those two.
-I just
-Oh. Oh, really?
Yeah, so I had a good time,
but on the other hand,
I felt bad for her, but [clicks tongue]
So, yeah.
Well, it was kind of awkward to ask.
-But that can happen.
-Then [clicks tongue]
So then,
do you have someone
you're interested in here?
-I'm interested in?
-Yeah.
Honestly, I think
I feel similarly about everyone.
On the first day,
-I chose three people I felt attracted to.
-Okay.
But they're all pretty similar.
[exhales]
So, yeah.
Now, I'm curious.
You said you were attracted to three guys.
-Yeah.
-Then,
would you be open to someone
other than those three?
-If someone were to approach you?
-Mmm.
Or is there no chance for that person?
Mmm.
Who did you vote for
-in the first impression pick?
-Yeah.
Can I tell you?
-Yeah, tell me. Can't we say it?
-I
Honestly,
I voted for you.
I voted for you.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
Who'd you vote for?
My three guys?
You could pick three?
No, we can't pick three people, but, like,
are you curious about who I voted for?
[whimsical music playing]
The person I voted for?
-No, are you asking who I voted for? Yeah.
-Oh, what do I wanna know about you?
I guess, the three guys.
-Yeah, which three?
-Which three?
I picked Sang-ho, Hyun-kyu, and you.
-Oh, that's good.
-Yeah. What is this?
-Good. I thought I wasn't one of them.
-Well, yeah
-Phew. So I have a chance.
-[Car] Seung-li was on her list too.
-Seung-li too.
-[Eun-ji] Ah.
Jeez, tonight's Eternal Singles' Night
is a smash hit.
[enchanting music playing]
But I've been wanting to talk to you too.
-Yeah, we didn't have a chance, right?
-Yeah, but Right.
-I've really wanted to talk to you too.
-Right.
There didn't seem to be a chance,
so I felt disappointed.
So, actually,
I was gonna write and send you a letter,
because just thinking about it on my own
-would be just a waste of time.
-Hmm. Yeah, right.
I felt sad about that, so
-So I wanted to give it to you.
-Oh, really?
-Just to say we should talk.
-Okay.
Nothing big. Just
just read it later when you want to.
-I just I just wrote that we should talk.
-Oh, really? A letter
-Oh, really?
-[upbeat music playing]
Wow, thank you.
Thank you.
-But I'm really glad
-Yeah.
we got some time to talk like this today.
[gasps]
He didn't even know
if Ji-su would come or not,
but he prepared this beforehand.
-Wow.
-This is absolutely what Ji-su loves.
She kept saying she likes people
who express themselves honestly.
-Right.
-She wanted someone to tell her
-that they liked her.
-That's right.
Sang-ho and Hyun-kyu
were both kind of halfway there.
Right.
And they usually put the letters
in each other's mailbox,
but it's so nice to get it in person.
And did you see her face?
Ji-su was so surprised.
-[Car] Right.
-Yeah, I know. Her heart skipped a beat.
Wow, Seung-li is so cool.
[Han-na] That's nice.
[Seung-li exhales]
I was so thankful. Really.
I've mentioned that someone
who clearly expresses
his likes and dislikes is my ideal type.
And that was the most direct expression.
That was my ideal.
So, I thought he was really cool.
3 HOURS EARLIER
[exhales]
[sighs]
"Hello, I tend to be kind of introverted,
so I was wondering how to approach you."
[groans]
[Han-na] I guess
he kept writing and rewriting it.
I feel like I've wasted my time
on other things.
And if I don't express myself now,
we might just end up friends,
or I might lose her to a competitor.
So thinking about that,
I just worked up my courage
and went for it.
-Doesn't that give you butterflies too?
-Yes, totally.
I'm not very outgoing, so I
I tend to be very outgoing with guys only.
-But I just can't seem to approach girls.
-Why?
I get shy. I worry I might make a mistake.
I don't think you have to feel that way,
because this is new for all of us here.
I think they'd all
understand your mistakes.
And I'd be grateful if you made a mistake.
-Oh, really?
-I'm so grateful
-for this letter right now too.
-That's a relief.
I was worried
that it might be too much pressure.
Why? I'm just grateful to receive it.
We know how much courage this takes.
Oh, thank you for saying that,
and for understanding me.
-[enchanting music playing]
-Still
Oh Well, try not to go to bed too early.
-[laughs]
-Let's talk
-Let's talk, get to know each other.
-Don't go to bed early? Okay.
-That would be nice.
-[cell phone chimes]
YOUR 15 MINUTES IS UP
The time flew by so fast.
It did.
-That was too short.
-It was.
-Oh, but you should stop running.
-Why?
Stop running and save your energy.
My energy? Why?
But I stay up pretty late, Ji-su.
I know. So show off everything you've got,
-like all of your charms
-My charms?
and pass out every night.
I think I wrote about that. My charms.
-Oh, really? Okay.
-Read it in your room.
-[Han-na] That makes my heart flutter.
-[In-guk] He's cool until the very end.
-[Ji-su] Your charm. Got it.
-[Seung-li] Yeah.
-Get back safe.
-Thanks.
From Ji-su's perspective,
that was exactly what she wanted.
-That's her style.
-[Eun-ji] Totally.
[Seung-li] I think I expressed
everything I've been feeling.
But Hyun-kyu
was stuck to her side the whole time.
But, yeah, I'm sure I can steal her away.
[Han-na] Oh, "I can steal her away."
-[music fades]
-[gasps softly]
Did he carry it around all day?
It's all crumpled.
[mellow music playing]
[Seung-li] "I tend to be very introverted,
so I don't think
I can approach you easily,
but I'm working up my courage
to write a letter to you."
"I hope you accept it with an open heart."
And next to that, I drew some stars,
because on the first
Eternal Singles' Night,
Ji-su asked me,
"Oh, do you see the stars?"
So I wanted to reference
the first thing she said to me.
-[Do] Oh, yeah.
-[Hyun-kyu] Like tongs.
-[Ji-yeon] That's cute.
-[Do] Oh, nice.
[indistinct chatter]
The stars are out.
[Hyun-kyu] Oh, that's true.
[Seung-li] Where?
-[Yeo-myung] Yeah.
-[Ji-su] Over there.
[Seung-li] And at the end,
I wrote in Portuguese.
"Foi bom te conhecer aqui neste momento."
"I'm so happy to have met you here."
That's what I wrote.
Wow, this guy is so He's seriously cool.
-What? He's such a romantic.
-I think these two will end up together.
-[Han-na] You think so? We have a couple?
-Yeah. These guys are set. They are.
[Ji-su] I thought that he was
such an impressive and brave person.
I felt so ashamed.
I was thinking, "Do I just like anyone
who talks to me right now?"
That thought crossed my mind.
Appearance-wise,
it's true that Sang-ho is my ideal type.
But personality-wise
Just read it later when you want to.
Oh, really?
[Ji-su] Seung-li actually
might be the closest one.
But I think Hyun-kyu does make me feel
the most comfortable. So
[chuckling] I'm just
