Better Late Than Single (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

1
See you in a bit.
[door lock beeps]
[clicks tongue] They must be
getting back from their date.
[Han-na and Eun-ji] Hmm.
Ugh, let's wash up.
I've been wanting to
talk to him since this morning
because I had left a letter
in his mailbox yesterday.
I just wanted to talk to him about that,
but I couldn't find the courage,
so I kept putting it off
until the evening.
When will I get to talk to him one-on-one?
I should just ask him to go on a date
so we can talk.
So, I changed
and went straight to the Lounge.
Yeah, you need to make time.
She found her courage. That's great.
[intriguing music playing]
[Yeo-myung] I went to the Lounge,
and I wanted to sit next to
or at least close to Jeong-mok.
So, I can finally sum up the courage
and ask him, "Do you want to talk?"
Sadly,
he was sitting with Do.
One of my quirks is
I always have to pair cake with
[Yeo-myung] That crushed me.
[Do] So
[Yeo-myung] I was sitting
with Min-hong, so I asked
Can we talk?
[music fades]
-Where?
-Here?
Maybe
The Caravan?
-I like the Caravan.
-Caravan.
Let's go to the Caravan.
I think she's looking for
some advice from Min-hong.
I feel like such a loser now.
-I want advice.
-I feel like such a fucking loser.
-I really I don't know what to do.
-[Eun-ji] Oh, my.
-Oh, no girl! Oh, that Min-hong
-Min-hong! Min-hong doesn't hold back.
-I was way too honest back there.
-No worries, dude. Let's sit here.
But they like the same guy.
You're right. It's quite the duo.
[Min-hong] You can ask me
anything you want.
[Yeo-myung] Min-hong. Min-hong.
I
-I want to talk to you about Jeong-mok.
-Mmm.
I've been dying to ask him
on a date since yesterday, but
If you don't ask him,
I'm taking him. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-[Cupids exclaim]
[Min-hong] No, I'm serious.
-Seriously, girl.
-I'm being such a loser.
You know we're competing
for the same guy, right? Goodness.
You're being too much right now.
-[whimsical music playing]
-[both laughing]
You don't see me
as competition at all, huh?
No, it's not about competing.
You're the only person
who understands my situation.
-Really? Oh, I'm so flattered.
-Yeah.
All right, I guess it's okay.
[both laugh]
Yeo-myung has to be really desperate.
Seriously. She must've been dying
to ask Min-hong to talk.
[music fades]
[Seung-li] Nice.
Let's go outside.
[Han-na] Oh.
-Okay. Where should we go? Any preference?
-Anywhere. Anywhere outside is fine.
-Cool. I'll leave this here.
-[Han-na] Smooth move.
-[Jeong-mok] Sounds good.
-Later.
-Hmm.
-[Sang-ho] See ya.
That's mine.
[cheerful music playing]
[Do] Where do you think we should sit?
[Jeong-mok] Maybe back there?
[music fades]
I'm just so bummed, dude.
-Like, I had a really good time yesterday.
-Mmm.
But I was
-kind of worried only I felt this way.
-Mmm.
I tried being honest with him
and really try and talk to him.
And actually express how I feel.
-[Do] Yeah.
-[Jeong-mok] There's a spot there. There.
-[Car] They saw them.
-[Eun-ji] It's them?
-[Han-na] Oh, no.
-Wow.
-[Han-na] They both saw Do and Jeong-mok.
-[Eun-ji] They did.
-[Car] My God.
-[In-guk] That's a cruel twist of fate.
[gripping music playing]
-[Do] Oh. Yep.
-[Jeong-mok] Is this the right way?
[Yeo-myung] Min-hong.
What am I going to do?
[Eun-ji and Han-na exclaim]
We're talking in the Caravan
and, suddenly, there they were
Jeong-mok and Do.
They went to the Rooftop.
We both looked at each other
and said, "Oh
what now?"
[gripping music continues]
-Where are they going?
-Rooftop.
What if they stay up there?
Ugh, I'm so upset.
Hey, you're not the only one, sister.
[music ends]
[Do humming]
Were our dates
satisfying?
-Ah. I was quite
-Mmm.
-satisfied. I really enjoyed it.
-Mmm.
Ms. Yi, I just
-wasn't sure you were enjoying yourself.
-"Ms. Yi."
-Ah Yes.
-I was worried about that.
-I've been saying I enjoyed it. I did.
-Oh, right. You did say, yeah.
It's just,
-I've been thinking about the way I
-Mmm.
treat people.
-Like Ji-yeon
-Mmm.
-Yeo-myung, or Min-hong.
-Mmm.
It's so much easier for me
to talk to women
when I'm not emotionally invested.
[Do] Mmm.
But whenever you're around me,
-I suddenly don't know what to say.
-Mmm.
I start feeling
very self-critical and nervous.
[Do] Mmm.
I kept thinking,
"Was I a buzzkill?" [chuckles]
-You weren't a buzzkill.
-Really?
-Mmm.
-I was worried.
I want you to like me.
-So
-Ah
I just kept overthinking things.
-I was anxious.
-I see.
Real talk.
-I honestly didn't notice at all.
-Yeah.
-[Do] Mmm.
-[Han-na] He's loving this.
If we go on a date tomorrow,
who would you pick?
If I can, I'm picking you.
Aw.
-[chuckles]
-[Han-na] Another date.
You're whimpering again. [laughs]
-I hear you whimpering.
-[whimpers]
[sighs swooningly]
-[charming music playing]
-[chuckles]
[Do] Mmm.
We should go bowling again.
Yeah. I've so got the bowling bug
and I will definitely be going back.
I just need to practice
-Mmm.
-so we can actually win.
That Caravan is great.
-Hmm?
-It's kind of soundproof.
-Is it really?
-Total privacy.
It muffles the sound inside
and it's super soft and comfy.
-You need to check it out sometime.
-Okay.
We should've gone there instead.
[soft whimsical music playing]
[Yeo-myung] Why so long?
Dude this shit's hilarious.
-[chuckles]
-Yeah.
Dude, I'm in a really vulnerable place
right now and feel so confused.
I'm losing my shit over here.
-All because you want to talk to this guy.
-Mmm.
[plastic bottle popping]
I became interested
in Jeong-mok. [chuckles]
I thought it would be nice
if Jeong-mok came along.
I've been wanting to go on a date
with Jeong-mok the whole time,
so I tried to pick his name, but I failed.
I thought it was a bit of a shame.
I wanted to talk to Jeong-mok
-[solemn music playing]
-[sniffles]
but I didn't get to.
Hey. Is it bedtime?
I think I'll skate a bit. Any takers?
[Eun-ji] Oh, he stayed back
for Jae-yun's sake.
[Han-na] He was trying to help him.
Even throughout
the remainder of the night,
I never stopped trying to sit next to him.
LAST NIGH
[Do] The bowling date was so fun.
I scored a strike.
Seriously, you guys,
it was everything I dreamed of.
So, like, why are you
always wearing a jacket?
Are you trying to look cool?
-Oh. I mean, I could
-[Yeo-myung] Yeah.
-Yes, but
-But I think it might rain.
[Yeo-myung] I wanted to talk to him a lot,
but I didn't get to much.
But I was really happy heading out
for the double date today
because I was going with Jeong-mok.
I thought a lot about
spending time with him,
but we ate separately.
Do you want Korean food? Rice?
-Or stews and barbecue?
-[Jeong-mok] Something like that.
Pay Pay attention, please.
But Western food would be nice too.
Or pork cutlets?
How about spicy pork?
-[Jeong-mok] But do we get to pick?
-[grunts]
-[Hyun-kyu] It's okay.
-[Jeong-mok] What do you wanna eat?
The last couple of days,
I've been waiting patiently
for the right opportunity to ask him out.
But but I
I think I might have missed my window.
-[Jeong-mok] We should go. Go ahead.
-[Do] Can I ask you something?
-Yeah Hmm?
-I know it might sound weird, but
-this is my point of view.
-Hmm.
I don't think guys, in terms of
their romantic feelings for a girl
[Jeong-mok] Mm-hmm.
-[Do] They don't really go
-Yeah.
-from, like, zero to one, you know?
-Yeah.
I do think they can go
from one to five, or even ten.
-Hmm.
-What do you think?
[Jeong-mok] I agree.
I think it needs something to grow from.
-It's gradual.
-Right?
-Mm-hmm.
-Mmm.
[Do] I was wondering if it was
just me who felt that way.
-Oh, man.
-[Eun-ji] They're passing by again.
-I just really want to stay
-It's them. Give me a sec.
Go, girl.
[Han-na] Oh. Yeo-myung is ready.
-[Min-hong] Let me know how it goes.
-[Yeo-myung] I'll call you.
[gripping music playing]
[Yeo-myung] I was just waiting
for their conversation to end.
I couldn't just let things stay this way.
True. I guess I was right
about Hyun-kyu after all.
[Han-na] Is she
really gonna take him from her?
-[Do] Let's go to the Lounge.
-You done talking? You finished?
I Yeah.
Yes. Take him. I didn't mean
to hog him or anything. Sorry.
-Can we talk?
-Yes. Sure.
-[Jeong-mok] Let's go.
-Yeah.
Where do you think we should go?
Oh, what?
-She's so cool. So brave.
-[Han-na] Wow, Yeo-myung.
She's so bold.
-You see how flustered Do was?
-[Han-na] She was caught off guard.
[enthralling music playing]
We've never really gotten to talk before.
-I wanted to change that.
-I see. Really?
-Thanks for the letter.
-You read it?
-I did, this morning.
-How'd you feel?
-[Yeo-myung chuckles]
-I just felt
THIS MORNING
TO JEONG-MOK
I'M NOT GOOD AT CLAW MACHINES
LET'S GO ON A DATE NEXT TIME
[In-guk] This can't be easy for Jeong-mok.
[Car] Yeo-myung has her chance now.
Things have been so hectic
and nonstop since we started.
So I kept looking for an opportunity
to talk to you, but [chuckles]
I was sad 'cause
[chuckles] I was too shy to ask you.
And now, I just kidnapped you. [chuckles]
[music ends]
[chuckles]
Would you be interested
in going on a date with me? [sniffles]
[Jeong-mok] Mmm
"Interested."
-I want to get to know everyone.
-Mmm.
I I do.
I do, but
[inhales] Actually,
-I don't know. I've never
-Mmm.
I've never been in this situation before,
so I don't really know what to do.
-And I also went on a date with Min-hong.
-Mmm.
To be honest, talking to Min-hong
-felt so comfortable and easy for me.
-Yeah.
It was really nice.
It makes me wonder
if I'm romantically attracted to her.
Oh.
I mean, I definitely like her as
-Mmm.
-a person.
However,
romantic attraction could
also be something completely different.
[Yeo-myung] Mmm.
So, is there anyone
you think
you're romantically attracted to?
Um
There is.
-Is it Do?
-It might be
-Yeah. Do.
-Mmm.
Is there anyone else?
-I don't think so.
-Mmm.
It looks like you might've
already made up your mind. Right?
I mean, kind of.
-Any chance your feelings could change?
-Well
I mean, I can't say for sure.
Right?
-You can't?
-I just can't really say.
[Yeo-myung] Mmm.
[clicks tongue]
So, from the people here
-I mean
-Mmm.
Well
I was just most attracted to you.
-Really?
-Yeah.
[gentle music playing]
I mean,
we never went on a one-on-one date.
And, well, we haven't talked much.
But still
I've become [giggling]
well, interested in you.
[enchanting music playing]
-[chuckles]
-This this is hard.
You don't
-You don't
-What?
feel that way about the others?
Yeah.
You're it for me.
[upbeat enchanting music playing]
[music fades]
Right, but romantic attraction
Wait, what's wrong?
[emotionally] I just feel bad.
[chuckles] Oh. 'Cause you're not into me?
[gentle wistful music playing]
-I don't know what to do. I mean
-Hey, what's wrong?
-Why are you crying? Mm-hmm.
-I'm so thankful you're interested in me.
-Gosh, it's just we have so little time
-Mmm.
[clicks tongue]
And, yeah, funny enough,
I just had this exact same conversation,
-you know, with Do.
-Mm-hmm?
We agreed a person's attraction
-can go from one to five, or ten.
-Mmm.
But can somebody really go
from zero to one?
-Mmm.
-Or something like that.
So, does this mean I'm a zero?
Oh, that's not What I just I mean
It's kind of
Well
I'm zero?
Point five?
[Yeo-myung chuckles]
[music fades]
[sighs heavily]
You're not a zero. Trust me.
Not a zero.
If that's the case
[hopeful music playing]
-I think I'll continue
-Mmm.
expressing the romantic emotions
that I feel towards you.
If you are into me,
then what's meant to be will be.
Oh, man. It's hard to look at you.
No, it's okay.
I really appreciate your honesty.
It couldn't have been easy for you.
Well, that's what I wanted to say.
Thanks for being so brave.
[chuckles]
[music fades]
-[Jeong-mok] Let's go.
-[Yeo-myung] Okay. [chuckling]
I'm calling it a night.
-Sounds good.
-Okay.
-Good night.
-Night.
[Yeo-myung chuckles]
[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
[door lock beeping]
[crying]
[gentle melancholic music playing]
-[Han-na] Aw.
-Oh
Guys, she was holding back her tears
the whole time.
[Yeo-myung sniffling]
[crying]
[sighs in exasperation]
[Yeo-myung] I finally broke down in tears.
I had patiently waited so long
for this opportunity to talk to him.
I just kept asking myself
the same question,
"Do I even have a shot with him?"
Are you done talking?
But before I could even attempt anything,
he just shut me out.
It was such a painful thing to experience.
Feeling rejected is awful.
[tearfully] Mom.
[sniffles]
No, it's not that at all.
I'm just feeling
really sad about being rejected.
[cries]
Oh, I don't know.
After hearing me cry over the phone,
my mom sent this long
and very sweet message.
"You're very pretty, cute, and charming."
"Cheer up. I'm always rooting for you."
Her message
was exactly what I needed to hear.
[music ends]
[sighs]
-[sighs] So, after four long days
-[Car] Oh, man.
Yeo-myung finally worked up the courage
to talk to Jeong-mok
and confess her feelings for him.
Yeah.
[Han-na] Only to be left
feeling rejected and in tears.
He didn't give her even a bit of hope.
Seriously.
But I kind of feel
that Jeong-mok's emotions
could potentially change
in the coming days.
You think he could fall for Yeo-myung?
See, he hasn't viewed Yeo-myung
as an option.
She's just another person to him.
-[Han-na] Right.
-Yeah.
He didn't think of her as an option,
since his roommate had mentioned
-that he was into her.
-Yeah.
-He was being respectful.
-Jeong-mok looked the other way.
Although, now I think he's going to
view her in a very different light.
-[Eun-ji] Definitely.
-[Han-na] I see.
He'll be open to the possibility.
Yeah, I think there's
the beginning of a spark there,
but the question is
whether that turns into a flame.
We just don't know.
[Seung-li] What should we do today?
-We got a text. Oh, tonight's
-[Min-hong] What's this?
-Tarot?
-[Ji-yeon] A tarot reading.
It's Tarot Night! Man, I go crazy
for mystic stuff like this.
The key to tarot
is avoiding the Tower card.
A crumbling tower is a bad omen.
-[Sang-ho] I'm down for this. Why not?
-[Hyun-kyu] Our fortunes read? Okay.
[Han-na] Wow. Is a tarot expert coming?
I think a tarot card reading
is perfect right now.
-[Han-na] Should be fun.
-This tarot reader looks professional.
[In-guk] Yeah.
-[ethereal music playing]
-[resonant chiming]
[Eun-ji] Oh, she has a singing bowl.
TAROT NIGH
-[Do] My gosh. Why is it so pretty here?
-Yes.
-Isn't it? Yes.
-Yeah.
You suit this space well.
Oh, thank you so much.
Put your left hand on the deck,
and directly talk to them.
Tell me what you want to know.
-This is the fourth day.
-Yes.
And we have probably around
the same amount of time remaining.
Do people's romantic feelings ever change?
All right, let's have a look here.
Hmm
What will happen to people's
romantic feelings in the next four days?
These emotions are still forming.
So, this means nothing
is really set in stone yet.
However, it does say
that everyone's feelings
will soon start the process
of solidifying themselves.
You were curious about your own feelings.
It says that your feelings will be settled
a bit quicker than everyone else's.
Mmm.
[mellow music playing]
-[Do] I think up till now
-Yes.
I had focused most of my attention
on the person I initially liked.
However, I think today was different
because I focused on the person
who's actually interested in me.
That change in perspective
put me in a better place.
I immediately thought to myself,
"Maybe she's talking about that."
[music fades]
Do you have any other questions for me?
So, what you're saying is that
-a person's romantic feelings can go
-Mmm?
from zero to one?
[mellow music playing]
[Do] I just wanted one last moment
to figure out how
I'm really feeling about Seung-li.
I mean,
realizing that I went all day
without thinking about him once,
that felt huge
and had me questioning everything.
So I needed to double-check
in order to be certain.
[music fades]
-[tarot reader] We set this here
-[Han-na] What did it say?
Oh, no. Why is it Winter?
This one is Winter too.
Let's pick again.
It's not looking too good.
Oh, the cards are pretty negative.
Oh, it says here things are difficult.
[Do groans]
[tarot reader] Okay, so
I saw those cards and I said to myself,
"Oh, this isn't possible."
But then I realized,
it probably wasn't referring to
Jeong-mok since things were great.
I think after that moment,
I felt better about my decision.
So, Seung-li, buh-bye!
And, Jeong-mok, hi!
[giggles] Yep.
-[Han-na] "Bye!"
-[Car] "Buh-bye!"
-Do needed this tarot reading.
-[Car] Right?
Yeah, she was able to
clear up her feelings.
-[Car] So true.
-[Eun-ji] Mmm.
[moody music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[smacks lips]
Are they still talking over there?
Can you see?
They are.
[Seung-li sighs]
[Seung-li] They're taking too long, right?
[Sang-ho] Seriously.
-[In-guk] Oh, Hyun-kyu.
-[Seung-li] Dude
-Almost an hour, right?
-[Sang-ho] Yeah.
ONE HOUR EARLIER
Can we talk?
Okay.
Oh, I see. Hyun-kyu asked her
to talk in private.
Yeah, you're right.
[Car] Oh, he's getting heated right now.
He's on fire.
[slow funky music playing]
[music fades]
-So, how was your date today? Because
-My date?
A date with each of us is enough, right?
Mmm.
Do you think I've decided?
-No.
-Who I like most?
No, I'm just asking you to think about it.
But after you have your dates,
I hope you like me the most.
[Ji-su exclaims]
I think after today, I might.
-You might?
-I think it's down to two.
[pensive music playing]
-[Hyun-kyu] Two?
-Mmm.
Now, it's you and Seung-li.
Oh Mr. Kim Sang-ho.
-Oh, Sang-ho's been eliminated.
-[Car] Because
[music fades]
-I told you.
-What?
-I told you, right?
-Hyun-kyu doesn't hold back.
-This is what happens when he finds out.
-Exactly.
[Seung-li] So, from what I see,
Hyun-kyu obviously is very proactive.
Oh. Oh, very true.
-He's not backing down.
-He really has been. Exactly.
-Seung-li is about to go to war.
-He's anxious.
-[Han-na and Eun-ji] Yeah.
-Mmm.
-I guess we just wait.
-Yeah, they'll be back.
It's not cool
to ask her to talk
and consume all her time.
No, of course not.
-[Seung-li] What the hell, man?
-[Sang-ho] I don't know. I'm tired.
[Ji-yeon] Hello there.
Hello. Welcome.
[mystical music playing]
What brings you here?
Well
how the person I'm thinking about
feels about me.
-Ah, you're curious about how they feel?
-Yes.
-Today, I asked whether
-I see.
there was anyone else
he wanted to go on a date with.
-I see.
-Could he fall for that person?
And how into her would he actually be?
Not sure if you noticed,
but we've gone on dates
for three days in a row now.
Is there anybody else
you're interested in?
[solemn music playing]
Uh [coughs]
[sniffles]
Oh, so that
-Well
-Mmm.
-No, no, no.
-No, no.
It's pretty here.
[In-guk] She must still be curious
about Jae-yun's feelings.
[music fades]
[tarot reader] Mmm.
Uh, the cards are saying he's interested
in a new person right now.
There's something new here.
However, it doesn't seem like
this interest has begun to grow.
-Mmm. I see.
-It's very new.
It's true that he's interested.
There is a possibility now.
Yes.
[solemn music playing]
Do you have any other questions?
-Any other questions?
-Hmm.
[Ji-yeon] Hmm
[cards shuffling]
[music fades]
No, I don't.
Is that the only person
-[Car] Ugh. Ji-yeon only has eyes for him.
-Yes.
Besides him, I'm honestly
not even curious about the others. Yes.
Or you could
find a completely new love too.
[Ji-yeon] Mmm.
-I feel
-Yes?
Well
Relax, relax.
[gentle melancholic music playing]
[Ji-yeon] Mmm.
[sniffling]
I can't do this.
-You can't?
-Yes.
-Hmm.
-I want to go.
Okay.
I just didn't really feel curious
about anything else,
so I left in the middle.
What I'm thinking now is,
"Well,
now what should I do here?"
[chuckles softly] That's all I'm thinking.
-Oh, Ji-yeon. I'm so upset, seriously.
-[Eun-ji] Aw
They're not used to this,
so they can't help.
-They hurt others and get hurt.
-Mmm. You're right.
-And they feel bad.
-[Han-na] Mmm.
[music fades]
[whispers indistinctly]
[Jae-yun] Where's Ji-yeon? Where is she?
I thought I needed
to really talk to Ji-yeon
privately about what I thought and
how I felt from before our one-on-one date
till now.
[Seung-li sighs]
Mmm.
[gentle music playing]
Jae-yun seemed to be kinda worried.
Earlier, he seemed very concerned.
He drank a lot too.
Well, I think he was saying
he wanted a chance to talk to you.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-But I don't know what he'll say.
-I just
He wasn't talking to me all day,
so I asked him a few questions
when we were alone.
But he kept beating around the bush.
"Was today fun?" "Yes, it was."
His question to me was whether I had fun.
It could be that he's bad
at expressing himself.
-I mean, I totally understand that.
-Yeah.
I totally get that.
[Seung-li exhales]
-[Jae-yun] Hey.
-Uh Hey.
-[Jae-yun] Can we talk?
-[Seung-li] Sure, that's cool.
-[Ji-yeon] It's okay.
-[Seung-li] I'm gonna hang with Sang-ho.
[music fades]
-Did you want to talk?
-Huh?
I mean
I just
-I thought maybe I should
-Mmm.
I think I should tell you
about what happened
from the beginning.
-Okay.
-If that's okay.
-Just say what you want to say.
-Oh, okay.
So before,
I was sincerely under the impression
that you
saw me only as a friend.
On our first one-on-one date,
I realized that
you actually had romantic feelings for me.
-But I kind of liked somebody else.
-Mmm. I see.
After that, I think I tried keeping
a respectful distance from you.
Yeah, you're right.
I already knew
that you liked someone else.
-But I thought
-Right, right.
"Why does he keep beating around the bush
instead of telling me?"
-You get me?
-Yeah.
-Was I doing that?
-Yeah.
Well, I
think this is why I did that.
I I thought telling you
that I liked her would
-would hurt you, so I think I
-Right.
was avoiding that.
Right, but that's even more hurtful.
-Oh.
-Yeah.
It's better to say those things
as soon as possible.
[inhales]
I think I'm
-I'm just not used to this.
-Mmm.
[pensive music playing]
I don't really
know the reason,
but like how some people have
unlimited confidence,
I think
I have unlimited shame.
And yeah,
I kind of feel careful
about expressing my feelings,
so I think I've always
tried my best not to
draw too much attention to myself and
not show my feelings to others.
[music fades]
-[Jae-yun] I learned that here.
-Mmm.
I didn't have the courage, so
even if being clear
would quickly solve things,
I always beat around the bush.
-I think that caused more
-Mmm.
misunderstandings.
-Yeah, right.
-And I think that
ended up hurting you even more.
So I felt bad about that, Ji-yeon.
-I'm sorry.
-Mmm.
It's okay.
I mean, I'm thankful that you told me.
[Jae-yun] Hmm.
[gentle solemn music playing]
[Ji-yeon] Things had become
awkward with Jae-yun,
and I couldn't sort out
my thoughts about myself,
so I was having a hard time.
But after talking to Jae-yun, I actually
felt better.
You can't, like
With the person you know you like,
you don't
[chuckles] How do I say this?
You can't act like this to them.
-[Jae-yun] Mmm.
-Mmm.
Because she was so calm about it,
I felt bad and embarrassed.
Whenever something
like this in my life happens,
I always chose to cowardly distance myself
instead of just
rejecting someone.
I felt bad and thankful
to Ji-yeon for being so understanding.
I think she helped me
get it together and grow a little.
[inhales]
-Wow, that's so
-[Eun-ji] Yeah.
That was a whole storm of emotions.
-[Car] Yeah.
-Seriously.
-Mmm.
-[Han-na] Mmm.
Right. When we're dating in real life,
-we can't just avoid everything, right?
-Of course.
We need to talk honestly
about how we feel
-[In-guk] Yeah.
-resolve misunderstandings.
I think Jae-yun has grown a lot
and learned from this opportunity.
Do people usually do this much
self-reflection on dating shows?
-[Han-na] Really.
-[Eun-ji] Seriously.
That's so impressive.
-This show feels like a show about growth.
-[Han-na] Yes!
-Yes, this show has that part to it.
-Exactly.
I was worried because
Jae-yun was blaming himself so much.
I'm glad that he got to talk to her.
It was a much-needed conversation.
Yeah, and also,
I'm sure it took a lot of courage.
You're right.
Yeah. For Jae-yun too.
Wasn't that the bravest thing
-we've seen Jae-yun do?
-[Han-na] Mmm.
-Yeah.
-[Han-na] You're right. Yes.
[Hyun-kyu] I want to do something
more for you, but I don't know.
Can you tell me what more I should do?
Tell you what you should do?
Like, is it okay for me
to keep going like this?
But I don't
-want you to do anything unnatural.
-Mmm.
If I tell you,
"You need to live this way,"
can you live like that forever?
I mean, that sounds funny, but
But I chose this job because
I decided to live like that forever.
What?
I mean, not decided
to live like that forever.
It has just become
more comfortable for me.
Anyway, what am I even saying?
I feel like I always
go off topic. [chuckles]
What was I going to say?
I was talking about dating,
and you told me about your job.
You're kind of rambling today.
I'm usually a good listener.
Yeah, you are. You are.
Today, I have something
I want to say first.
-I was thinking, "I should say this first"
-Oh, really? I'm sorry.
but you cut me off
and started talking first.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I felt so
So I mean, after doing that,
I felt like
I was going crazy from anxiety.
-So, I
-Oh, I'm sorry. I'll listen now.
Mmm. No, you go ahead.
I said everything I wanted to say.
-Really?
-Mmm.
I don't know. I
Uh, I can't see anything right now.
I feel like I'm slowly becoming a baby.
I'm regressing to a child.
I shouldn't be like this, though.
I know that,
but I can't keep my head straight.
I can't. I really can't control myself.
What should I do?
He's telling her
all of his weaknesses right now,
-isn't he?
-Exactly.
-Ji-su likes the reliable type.
-[Car] Yeah. Exactly.
Saying those things
could make him seem less attractive.
[Car] It must be, yes.
-Right. He he was too honest.
-[Han-na] Right.
-The guys keep disappointing her.
-Exactly.
Seung-li had that drinking battle earlier.
-Uh-huh.
-What can Ji-su be thinking?
[Han-na] Exactly.
I mean, Hyun-kyu Their conversation
felt good in the beginning.
Right, she said he was
the most comfortable to talk to.
But suddenly, something changed.
-He suddenly started whining.
-[In-guk] This
[laughter]
-[Car] You're on a dating show.
-That does decrease his attractiveness.
-You can't start whining.
-Oh, no. What will he do?
-[In-guk] This is so
-[laughs]
-He's nervous.
-Yes. That must be why.
He couldn't control his heart.
He just couldn't help himself.
-He doesn't want to lose her.
-God help us.
-So, I
-What?
I want to be your best,
-but if that doesn't happen
-Yeah.
there's nothing I can do.
I think I did my best.
What can I do
Uh, you asked for confirmation,
so I tried to give you that.
[Car] Look at Ji-su's facial expression.
That's enough. I mean, what more can I do?
[amusing music playing]
-Right.
-Hmm.
Oh, I said I would listen,
-and I'm just talking by myself again.
-Yeah, I'm listening.
I'm normally a very good listener,
but today, I really blabbered on.
I couldn't hold back the words,
so I just let everything out.
So, I just
I didn't have the capacity to think.
[music fades]
[Ji-su] I wasn't planning
to talk to Hyun-kyu for that long,
but I missed my chance to cut it off.
I said that my ideal type
was someone who could help control
my emotional fluctuations,
but Hyun-kyu could not stay calm, so
[quirky music playing]
Well [sighs]
I felt overwhelmed.
"Oh, this is too much."
That's what I thought.
You're handling a lot, Ji-su.
Can I go hang out with Min-hong?
[Car] She's looking
for a comfortable friend.
-You should get some rest too.
-Oh, Min-hong.
-Mmm.
-If it's Min-hong, I'll let you go.
[chuckles awkwardly]
I'll go see our Princess Thumbelina.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
What should I do? Sit outside?
-No, you
-Or go inside?
Why are you asking that?
Do what you want.
[Han-na laughs]
-Go in? Should I?
-No, you should go in and rest.
[hesitates] Then when What about you?
-I'll be here
-Gonna go to bed?
Yeah. Go inside and go to your place.
Go to your room.
What if people are lined up
when you get back to your room?
[chuckles]
-No. No, they're not that passionate.
-They won't be lined up?
[chuckles] Really?
-[Ji-su] Sleep well. Bye.
-See you.
[Hyun-kyu] See you tomorrow.
Wow, he's worried
other guys will go to Ji-su.
-Right.
-[Car] Exactly.
-[In-guk] He's worried.
-I can see why he feels that way.
-I do too. He could end up
-[Han-na] So he couldn't let her go.
-[Eun-ji] Right.
-But it's a little too
Can I be really honest?
If I were Ji-su, I'd think,
-"Wow. What is wrong with me?"
-[Cupids laughing]
"How could I be so unlucky? Seriously."
[laughing] Gosh. Why are you so funny?
Also, make the kids swim a bit.
Gosh. What a waste of water.
[Han-na laughs]
[Min-hong] You must be really tired.
[Ji-su] Yeah, I'm really tired. [sighs]
So we stood there
and talked for two hours.
He was rambling.
-Mmm.
-And he would cut me off and talk over me.
Because he felt so rushed.
I'm a bit drained.
Oh, really?
So, if he becomes my boyfriend,
I think I'd feel drained.
Like I'm taking care of a younger brother.
That's what I'm worried about.
If he becomes my boyfriend
[inhales sharply] Could he handle me?
-Mm-hmm
-This is also a funny thing to say,
but is there a guy
who can handle my ups and downs?
I want to find a guy like that.
Anyway, this is the thing.
Right now [sighs]
I'm wondering, "Am I too picky?"
[scoffs]
-Not not at all.
-Really?
-I'm not?
-Not Well, no.
It's normal to want a boyfriend
-that fits your personal needs.
-Mmm. Mmm.
To be honest,
you can't choose your parents,
and you can't choose your kids.
The universe decides all that.
-But you can choose your boyfriend.
-You're right.
-[In-guk] Preach, sister!
-[Eun-ji] Right!
You don't have to date everyone
who says they like you.
[In-guk] Of course.
-Ji-su isn't picky at all right now.
-[Car] Yeah, that's right.
She could be
much pickier if she wanted to.
[Han-na] Mmm.
[Min-hong] What will you do
-if you can't even choose that?
-Mmm.
So we just have to choose
according to our own needs.
If he's not it, he's just not it.
That's not a bad thing.
-Right?
-Yes.
I'm sure people who are dating
all have at least one requirement, right?
-If not, I think they're too spineless.
-[laughs]
Then why are you dating that person?
Just for a dopamine hit? That's not it.
What I'm saying is, I don't want
you thinking you're being too picky.
This is my honest thought.
I don't want you
to cut the shape you want into a square
just because
you want to be in a relationship.
Thank you.
I'm sure there is someone
who will see your true value.
-[Ji-su] Mmm!
-No, I'm serious. Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh.
-Min-hong must be good at giving advice.
-Seriously.
Min-hong is good at understanding
the point, and she gives good advice.
Why are they good
at everything but dating?
-[In-guk] Seriously.
-Other people's relationships are easy.
Yeah.
-Ah
-[Han-na] For sure.
[Ji-yeon] Jeez. Is Seung-li
talking to her? I'm so curious.
Wait, wait. Where
where are Hyun-kyu and the other guys?
[Ji-yeon] What are they talking about?
[Seung-chan] Whoa.
They're sitting on the bench in front.
I think Hyun-kyu is
-[Seung-chan] What?
-making things too hard.
-The other person
-Talking to her is one thing,
but I felt so bad seeing him
waiting to talk to her.
I mean, he he knows that they're waiting.
[Ji-yeon] I think
he's not letting her go intentionally.
[Seung-chan] Oh, he's pretty ruthless.
I don't really like it.
I mean, shouldn't there be
some fair play or something?
[Min-hong] Hey, everybody.
[indistinct chatter]
I'll go in to think a bit.
-[Hyun-kyu] Okay.
-[Min-hong] I might do the same.
-I'll go.
-See you next time.
[Do] So much has happened.
-Just this whole day.
-[Jeong-mok] I know.
[Do] Yesterday
Was there an hour's worth
of things to talk about?
-[Hyun-kyu] What?
-Yeah.
-Was I there for an hour?
-[Seung-chan] Yeah.
Was it more? Maybe it was two hours?
Why?
I mean, it's hard for me to say this.
I'm I'm not good at
this whole being direct thing, but
I'm saying this because I'm your roommate.
You, uh
-During Eternal Singles' Night today
-Yeah.
[Seung-chan] people were
really judging you
for talking to only one person.
-From what I saw
-[Hyun-kyu] Right.
For example, Seung-li was sleeping here,
wondering, "Oh, they must be done, right?"
I honestly don't think others saw it
as a good thing.
So
[Hyun-kyu] Mmm.
[Seung-chan] I thought if
we didn't tell you and kept it between us,
that'd be talking behind your back.
-I felt bad about that.
-He didn't wanna talk behind your back.
[Seung-chan] That's right.
[Sang-ho] Is it all right
that we told you?
So, the fact that I took her out
and kept her for so long?
-So, like, we
-[Sang-ho] Not that exactly.
thought maybe it was a bit too much.
And at this rate,
-people could start avoiding you.
-[Sang-ho] Yeah.
[Han-na] Mmm.
-Seung-chan is being careful.
-[Car] He is.
He's telling him as his roommate,
but after hearing that,
-people are judging him negatively
-Right, right.
Hyun-kyu is a bit
-Yeah.
-Right.
Honestly, it's not good to say,
-"This person thinks negatively of you."
-[Han-na] Ah.
It would've been good
to share his opinion.
But saying, "People are
judging you negatively," is a bit
-Right. That's a bit
-[Car] It's not helping.
-[Eun-ji] Right.
-So I was trying my best, but I guess
it could seem that way.
I could be
I could be wrong about this too.
-I haven't dated either.
-[Sang-ho] He has a point.
You need to try.
-You need to try in order to date.
-[Sang-ho] Right.
A lot of people say that.
-But be aware of how people are feeling.
-Yeah, right.
[Hyun-kyu] Mmm.
So, I want you to judge for yourself.
If you still want to do that,
just know that I support you
as your roommate.
[Hyun-kyu] I was very offended.
I came here to date,
and I tried my best to do that. I
I don't know why
they're saying that to me.
[tense music playing]
They must think I broke some rule.
A lot of time had passed as we talked,
and I didn't notice.
But then, they should've
come to me and told me.
They they could've interrupted.
If they said
they also wanted to talk to her,
and I denied that,
I would totally understand
the negativity
and the attitude they're giving me.
-[Sang-ho] You misinterpreted us.
-He should've told me. I prefer that.
Exactly. I mean, in a way,
you could say we chose that.
If Seung-li had said that to me,
I would've sincerely felt bad.
"I wasn't considerate." Like that.
-Yeah.
-I think that's my choice.
I can't care about
other people's judgment.
-Catching two birds
-I agree.
-You can't worry about people judging you.
-I just
I want to ignore the people not involved.
Then I should go to Seung-li first.
I should I should do that.
It wouldn't be a bad idea
to have a three-way talk.
-The three of us should get together?
-Do exactly that.
-Just put it all out there.
-[Hyun-kyu] My almost three-hour-long
-[Seung-li] Oh, about that?
-conversation with one person
-[Seung-li] Yeah.
-offended some people.
-That's what I roughly heard.
-[Seung-li] Who said that?
[Sang-ho] So, Seung-chan explained
summarized it for him, like
[Seung-li] Oh, I got it.
I see what you're saying.
You just have to do what you want.
-Okay?
-[Hyun-kyu] I'm sorry, Seung-li.
-[Seung-li] Why?
-[Hyun-kyu] I'm not sorry about competing.
-[Sang-ho] But do you
-[Hyun-kyu] But this situation
-I feel well I don't know.
-[Seung-li] Oh, well, don't
Don't listen to that gossip.
I mean
Don't worry too much about that.
[Hyun-kyu] Okay. Thanks.
Oh, I don't know
if it had to get this big.
Hyun-kyu is right in a way,
because if someone wanted
to talk to Ji-su
[In-guk] Right.
they could've said,
"When will you be done?"
or "Let me know when you're done."
-"I wanna talk to you too."
-[Han-na] True.
If so, Hyun-kyu could've thought,
"Oh, someone is waiting,"
and wrapped it up at an appropriate time.
-Mmm.
-And the thing is, Hyun-kyu and Ji-su
-both wanted to talk.
-Correct.
It wasn't just
-Hyun-kyu not letting Ji-su go.
-[Car and Eun-ji] Mmm.
-Mmm.
-[Han-na] I think that started
the misunderstanding
of Hyun-kyu keeping Ji-su there.
-Mmm.
-[Eun-ji] Mmm.
PARK JI-YEON
YI DO
[Do] I don't know if you know,
but I started to like Jeong-mok more.
Jeong-mok? I mean, more than Seung-li?
I want to get to know him.
I mean, I'm not totally into him yet
or anything like that.
So, if I get a chance
to go on a date with Jeong-mok,
I want to do my best
to show him my good side.
I want to eat Buldak noodles,
but I'm holding back.
-Hmm. Aw
-I don't want to look puffy.
-I think I'm trying pretty hard.
-You are.
Right now, I'm so jealous of the people
who have someone
that they're interested in.
[Do] Mmm.
-I get that.
-Seriously.
Jeong-mok and Seung-li are just friends.
I'm even helping Seung-li.
Jeong-mok knows who I'm interested in.
We are not into each other.
He's just a friend.
A funny friend.
[In-guk] Wow. Day 4
s such an intense rollercoaster ride.
-Wow.
-[Eun-ji] Right?
[Car] Okay, it's Day 5.
[mellow music playing]
-[Ji-su] I'm going to talk to Sang-ho.
-[Seung-li] Okay.
-[Ji-su] Yeah.
-[Sang-ho] Hey.
What? Ji-su's going to talk to Sang-ho?
Did she miss Sang-ho
after having a bit of a hard time?
[music fades]
In a way, I'm talking to
three people right now, right?
That's right.
But taking your time, I mean, here,
-I'm taking your chances.
-Ah.
I mean, you can't think of it like that.
No, so I thought I should
sort out my feelings soon.
I thought I should
-that I should focus a bit.
-Mmm.
I haven't decided on who to choose
-if I get to, uh, choose my date today.
-Ah.
But I think
I'll probably go with someone else.
I thought you should know how I feel
-in case, uh
-Mmm.
-you get to choose your date.
-Mmm.
If you choose me,
without knowing how I feel,
-you'd be wasting an opportunity on me.
-Mmm.
[Han-na] She's really
ending things neatly.
-She means, "Don't pick me."
-Right. Telling him not to choose her?
[Car] That's true.
-Right. "I told you."
-[Car] That's what she's saying.
-I'm so sorry.
-Why do you feel bad?
I told you that I liked you first,
and now
I mean, it's normal
-for feelings to change, of course.
-Mmm.
-Oh, a message. Wonder what's next.
-[cell phone chimes]
TODAY'S DATING NEWSLETTER IS HERE
-[pleasant music playing]
-Hey, Ji-yeon.
Let's go in.
Let's read it.
Oh!
-[Ji-yeon] "Secret date."
-[Do] Whoa!
[Ji-yeon] "You may go on a date
with whoever you'd like."
"Everyone besides the two on the date"
-They go on a date with who they like.
-[Car] So that's it!
[Do] If it's with anyone we'd like.
-[Yeo-myung] I think so.
-[Min-hong] A secret date?
Then, who should I pick today?
Ugh. Who should I pick?
[groans]
-[Seung-li] Secret date.
-Secret date. Right.
[Seung-li] It's a secret one-on-one date
-Mmm.
-but you can choose
whoever you want.
[music fades]
[upbeat music playing]
SELECT YOUR DESIRED DATE
HOWEVER, YOU CAN SELECT ONLY ONE PERSON
[Yeo-myung] Yesterday,
I was totally rejected
by the person I was interested in.
So, I wasn't sure
if I should pick someone else.
-[In-guk] Same for Ji-yeon.
-[Han-na] Jeez.
Seriously. Should you
or should you not follow your heart,
knowing that person
isn't interested in you?
[Ji-su] I think Hyun-kyu
and Seung-li are similar.
I can't decide.
Your name
[Seung-li sighs]
[Han-na] Oh, Sang-ho
doesn't know who to pick.
[object rattles]
Well, there could be
another very one-sided result.
-[Han-na] Mmm.
-[Eun-ji] Oh
-Since maybe people overlap.
-[Eun-ji] Oh, that's so true.
[Han-na] I'm worried it won't be even.
[In-guk] These secret dates
are chosen by the guys.
[Eun-ji] Oh.
THE MEN CAN GO ON A DATE
WITH ONE PARTNER OF THEIR CHOOSING
[Han-na] If they're not chosen by anyone,
they won't have a date.
[Yeo-myung] It must be sad
if nobody comes.
[Mi-ji] I wonder if someone chose me.
[Do] At least one person
will choose me, right?
[Min-hong] While waiting,
I was constantly thinking,
"I wish my date would appear soon."
[groovy music playing]
-[In-guk] Whoa. Hey.
-[Han-na] Wow!
Wow. Why do you look so cool?
[Han-na] Wow.
[music fades]
[Yeo-myung] You hungry? Eat something.
[cheerful music playing]
Is that yummy?
Is it yummy?
Is the kitty happy?
Is it tasty?
Eat up, please.
Ow! That hurts.
[In-guk] Who will it be?
[Yeo-myung] I was expecting someone,
but I wasn't sure.
-It's gotta be Jae-yun. Yeah.
-[Han-na] Jae-yun, right?
-[In-guk] Jae-yun!
-[Eun-ji] Oh, it's Jae-yun.
SECRET DATE
YEO-MYUNG & JAE-YUN
Oh.
-When did you get here?
-It's finally their first one-on-one.
Jae-yun and Yeo-myung's
first one-on-one date.
[Yeo-myung] Honestly,
I did get the feeling
that Jae-yun was interested in me.
-[In-guk] This could be his chance.
-[Han-na] Right.
-Hey!
-Oh, hi.
[Yeo-myung chuckles]
Do you like cats?
Yes, I do.
-You can feed it some snacks if you want.
-What? Oh, really?
[Jae-yun sniffles]
[Han-na] I hope Jae-yun
-will lead the conversation a bit.
-[In-guk] Mm-hmm.
-Don't you have any questions for me?
-Questions?
[quirky music playing]
-I
-Yeah?
-I had a lot to say.
-Oh.
I had a lot I wanted I want to say.
-So so, so I wrote them down.
-[Han-na] Oh, nice.
-Oh, really?
-Yes, I did.
-Since I'm bad at talking. A lot.
-You wrote them down?
-I wrote a lot.
-[Eun-ji] Cute.
[Han-na] Really cute.
-[In-guk] Nice. Opening his notebook.
-You really wrote a lot.
What what did you write?
-Like, my thoughts
-Mmm.
-and stuff.
-Ohh, kinda like a journal?
Mmm, yeah, kind of.
Oh.
[In-guk] He's more nervous
because he likes her.
[Han-na exhales sharply]
What will he ask her?
-[Jae-yun] Mmm.
-[Yeo-myung chuckles]
Just some everyday things?
-Ah.
-Do you have any hobbies?
Oh, my hobbies. Mmm.
Did I not tell you that before?
[charming whimsical music playing]
-Well [stutters] swimming and
-Yeah.
-working out
-Oh.
And running.
No, I don't run.
I play futsal.
-Right. I was kind of
-I play futsal.
drunk then, yeah, futsal.
[quirky music playing]
-Let me see what I wrote down Yeah.
-You have to look at that again?
[Yeo-myung chuckles]
[Han-na] Oh, his hands are really shaking.
[Han-na gasps]
[music fades]
-[Jae-yun] Oh, well
-Huh?
What would you say
was your first impression of me?
Oh, I thought you were handsome.
-Mmm. Really?
-[both chuckle]
Thanks.
[chuckles softly]
-So, until now
-Yeah?
I feel like
I haven't fully expressed how I felt.
-Oh
-So
I've been
interested in you for a while.
Oh.
In me?
Yeah.
-Mmm.
-[mellow music playing]
You had no idea?
Oh, kind of?
Like, I was not really sure.
Ah.
[Jae-yun] Hmm.
I I am.
-Oh.
-But even if it wasn't an actual date,
I could've asked you
to go out just to talk.
I should've.
Mmm.
But I didn't because I I was so nervous.
-I don't know
-Ah. I see. Oh.
Caring about what the others thought.
What they thought?
-Yeah.
-Oh, right.
Ji-yeon told me something.
Oh, what was that?
-She said she had always cared about
-Hmm.
-others instead of herself too.
-Mmm.
-That we should think about what we want
-Ah.
-and not what others think.
-Mmm.
I plan
to try to try to
-Mmm.
-and change a lot going forward.
[music fades]
RANDOM SPOT DATE
[mellow music playing]
So, are you interested in anyone here?
Yes, I am.
Can you tell me who that is?
Is it a secret?
That's a little
difficult [sniffles]
-to say.
-Mmm.
-Okay.
-That
Yeah.
So, honestly I mean,
I don't know how honest I should be,
'cause I don't want you to feel
-Oh Oh.
-too much pressure.
I'm not asking you
to give me an answer right right away.
So, I like you
too too much.
I like you a lot.
Me?
-Yeah.
-I see.
[enthralling music playing]
[Jae-yun] So, to be honest,
the happiest I've been here was actually
our spot date.
Oh, my. Oh, my. Jae-yun, you
-Wow, he's really changed.
-[Eun-ji sighs]
He's a man.
[Han-na gasps]
I mean, it's so romantic.
He said, out of the four days,
he loved those 15 minutes the most.
Yes, he said he was the happiest then.
Oh, the
the one with me?
Yeah, that one. Yeah.
Back in the tent.
Ah.
-[Car] He is especially cool today.
-[chuckles]
-[Eun-ji gasps] Yeo-myung looks happy!
-[Han-na] Yeo-myung is happy!
Jae-yun never went on a date with me.
Just the ten-minute spot date.
Besides that, I don't really know Jae-yun,
so I wasn't interested.
But when I saw him
slowly confessing his feelings for me
I thought to myself
"You know, he is actually pretty nice."
[music fades]
But, so
there is someone
um
I'm interested in currently.
Mmm.
Of course, my feelings could change
during the remaining days,
but I
can't give you an answer yet.
Oh.
-But I'm actually totally okay with that.
-Yeah?
So, I don't want an answer right away.
I just How do How do I put it?
[enchanting music playing]
-Until now
-[softly] Mmm.
regardless of the outcome,
-I never regretted it when I
-[softly] Mmm.
was fully honest.
So, that's enough for me.
Yeah. So, in regards to that,
you don't need to feel bad at all
about not being able
to give an answer right now.
If you're okay with that, so am I.
[chuckles]
[ice rattles]
I see. [chuckles]
[cell phone chimes]
A MESSAGE HAS ARRIVED
Oh, what is this?
-Wait. Why is their date so short? What?
-I'm supposed to leave first.
-Is it over? Oh.
-Huh? Yeah, I think so.
-Gotta go. Yeah.
-See you.
-See you back there. Bye.
-Oh, yeah. See ya.
[Eun-ji] But that was so nice,
Jae-yun. Good job.
[In-guk] Seriously.
-It was kind of like a movie.
-[Car] Mmm.
Jae-yun's words
were like lines from a movie.
See, the thing that people
love the most in the movies
-Mmm.
-is when a guy
-[Han-na] Mm-hmm.
-like Jae-yun,
who used to be awkward
in front of people and didn't know
-[Han-na] That's true.
-what to do in front of his crush
But when he starts
to share his honest feelings,
he starts to speak so well.
-[Eun-ji] Words were flowing out.
-Flowing out.
-I thought he practiced it.
-I also really thought this was cool.
"I acknowledge
-and respect your feelings."
-That's right.
-"I just wanted to express how I felt."
-[Eun-ji] Mmm.
Saying, "I'm not asking for an answer,"
-was so mature
-[Han-na] It was cool.
-It really was.
-and so cool.
I mean, did Jae-yun go
on a solo pilgrimage or something?
-He's been somewhere.
-He has.
-A pilgrimage.
-[Car] Yeah.
He changed so much.
-Our Jae-yun has changed.
-[Han-na] Aw.
[solemn guitar music playing]
[Han-na] Gosh. I hope someone
[inhales sharply]
picked Ji-yeon.
[cell phone chimes]
YOUR DATE HAS ENDED
[Car sighing] Ji-yeon Oh
[Ji-yeon] Well
I didn't really have anyone
I wanted to see,
so I just wanted to leave soon.
[music fades]
[Eun-ji] It's Ji-su.
[Han-na] Who will come first?
[Eun-ji] Oh, that walk is kind of
[inhales sharply]
[curious music playing]
Sang-ho?
I think it's Hyun-kyu.
Wait. Seung-li?
[upbeat music playing]
[chuckles]
Hi.
-[Han-na] Oh, it's Hyun-kyu.
-I'm here.
SECRET DATE
JI-SU & HYUN-KYU
[In-guk] I hope Hyun-kyu
can be more calm today.
It's hot, so I brought this
-Mmm?
-for you to cover up with.
-Wasn't necessary, though.
-It's okay.
[both chuckle]
The weather is so nice today.
It's totally your vibe.
-Quiet
-Mmm.
comfortable,
nice for a chat.
I actually have a lot of things
I want to do right now,
but I know you need time to think, so I
I'm treading carefully.
I think I should give you time
to be alone first.
-So, I'm going to
-Mmm.
-hold back and wait.
-Mmm.
I didn't come here, you know,
planning to just date anyone.
-I'd rather just not date anyone then.
-Hmm.
Realistically, you must think I seem
a little unstable in this competition.
[Hyun-kyu] Mmm.
But I'm actually unstable
in real life too.
-Mmm.
-I actually
I go to therapy.
[somber music playing]
It sounds too dramatic
to call him a stalker,
but I had an experience that was similar
to the awful experience
of having a stalker.
I was misunderstood a few times as well.
That's what makes me
be extra careful and stuff.
[inhales sharply] But in a way,
I'm drawing a line between me
and others, so [inhales sharply]
When I got psychological tests,
and therapy,
I learned I shouldn't do that,
but it's not easy.
[Han-na sighs] Ji-su also had
some painful experiences.
The reason I can't easily date
is because if I do,
my emotions will be unstable again,
both positively and negatively.
-Right.
-So, I want that kind of reliability.
Someone who can help me when
-Hmm.
-I'm feeling unstable.
[Hyun-kyu] Hmm.
The people who are interested in me now
are interested
because of my appearance, right?
I always thought that they'd approach me
because of my appearance
[gentle solemn music playing]
then leave because
my personality is too different.
But I just said, "I have this weakness,
but I'm just human."
"I'm not hiding anymore.
This is all of me."
That's how I talked to him.
Unlike the last date,
Ji-su talked about
very private things to Hyun-kyu.
-[In-guk] Mmm.
-Mmm.
I personally think being that honest
-about your weakness is truly impressive.
-[Han-na] Mmm.
-Totally.
-[Han-na] Agreed.
[gentle solemn music continues]
And there were parts I didn't know.
And now that I can piece
those things together with what I know,
I can understand a lot.
Thank you for telling me.
I thought she must've told me
because she trusted me somewhat.
She also thought about a future with me,
so I was happy.
So, I spent some time thinking,
"How could I support her
with those things?"
"Am I someone who can do that?"
[music fades]
I'm also sensitive and really caring,
so I can understand what you need
and I can be there for you
when you're down.
I I can be there for you.
[mellow music playing]
-I'd really like to be that person.
-Really?
Oh
So, if you're worried about that
Yeah.
-[chuckles]
-I'll give it my best shot.
-Your best shot?
-Yeah, if you give me that chance, I will.
-Mmm.
-[Hyun-kyu chuckles]
The more I talked to her,
the more interested I became.
I think I think she's the one.
-[Car] Yes.
-[Han-na] Nice.
-I think that was basically a confession.
-[Han-na] Nice.
-"If you give me that chance, I will."
-[Han-na] Aw
-Okay. If so, don't stop. Yeah.
-[Han-na] That's good.
[music fades]
-[Han-na] It's Seung-li.
-[Car] The man on fire.
SECRET DATE
JI-SU & SEUNG-LI
-Hello.
-[Seung-li] Hello.
[upbeat music playing]
-Hey.
-[Ji-su chuckles]
-Did you know it was me?
-You?
-I had a feeling you'd come.
-Really?
You expected it. [exhales]
When did you get here?
-Just now.
-Just now?
You weren't waiting too long, right?
Mmm.
-Actually, I was waiting.
-You were?
Well yeah.
[music fades]
-I just
-I noticed that
that you had a lot on your mind yesterday.
-Right?
-You're right.
You seemed out of it.
So, I was going to talk to you yesterday,
but I didn't want to overwhelm you.
-Really?
-So, I just
hung out alone.
Thank you. [chuckles]
So, are you still thinking?
Still?
-Me?
-You can't stop worrying?
Mmm
I did figure things out somewhat.
Hmm.
[Seung-li slurps]
-And
-Hmm?
How about you?
-How I feel?
-Yeah.
I'm not thinking too much.
-I'm not worrying either.
-Mmm.
I think I'm just
going my way.
I think I'm doing well.
I mean, I I think I
-I think I'm communicating
-I see.
my feelings well, I think.
[Seung-li inhales]
You might change your mind
after a date with me.
-I could.
-Yeah.
-I could disappoint you.
-Hmm.
You'd think,
"She's different from what I thought,"
-and look for someone else.
-Mmm.
That could
-change, of course.
-Mmm.
But
I just want to keep getting to know you.
-Mmm
-I mean, who you are as a person.
So, I personally think
I'm quite an unstable person.
Unstable? I didn't really
feel that from you. Are you?
-Are you an unstable person?
-Mmm.
So, um, because I had
some really good memories with people,
but also bad ones that really hurt me.
So, I'm quite defensive.
So, when someone approaches me,
I think, "Why are they approaching me?"
"Do they want something?"
-Even when they just look at me, I think
-Mmm.
"Why are they looking at me?"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
-Then you must feel really anxious.
-Yeah.
-You must've been this whole time
-Yes.
because guys kept approaching you.
That's why I'm always
in my room. [chuckles]
Ah.
That's normal, though.
-I mean, yeah Mmm.
-That must be tiring.
-It's not easy.
-Mmm.
Gosh, that must be hard.
I think
I'm such a weak person.
Weak person?
-Mmm. Mentally?
-For example, do you mean
-Oh, mentally weak?
-Yeah.
-Are you the type who is easily
-[chuckles]
influenced by others?
Easily influenced?
-I guess so.
-You know?
-Mmm.
-That's a total weakness.
-Exactly.
-Exactly.
That's why you're going
back and forth right now.
-Thinking a lot.
-Yeah, I
It's not just my ears but my mind.
I'm all over the place.
You're an interesting girl.
[charming music playing]
-That's a very big weakness.
-Yeah, right?
Are you going to see other women
because it's too much to handle, Seung-li?
I don't know about that.
Ugh, I'm worried! [chuckles]
I won't.
The mood has been totally lifted.
[Han-na] Is he saying
those things on purpose?
When you're full of concern,
and someone tells you,
"That's not a big deal,"
I find that person very attractive. Yeah.
-Mmm.
-[Eun-ji] Ji-su was calling it
her shortcoming or weakness
-Mm-hmm.
-but Seung-li asked,
-and said, all sweet
-[Han-na] Aw.
-"Are you easily influenced?"
-[Car] Makes sense.
[Eun-ji] Really striking a chord
with that detail.
I think Ji-su is leaning
toward Seung-li now.
-Yeah, I think he's doing very well.
-Yeah, right. Yeah.
I think you're right.
I think Seung-li
was a bit closer to the answer.
I didn't have an answer in mind,
but Hyun-kyu
tried to empathize
and kind of understand me.
But when Seung-li said,
"Oh, that's what happened,"
and moved past it,
I felt a bit more comfortable.
To carefully
-guess the type of person Ji-su likes
-[Han-na] Mmm.
-there's a sort of reliability
-[Han-na] Ah.
-that a simple person has.
-I see that. Yeah.
[Car] She really seems to feel
more comfortable with the energy
and "reliability" of a simple person.
Honestly, I think Ji-su just doesn't like
guys who talk too much.
[laughs heartily]
-[Car] Yeah, minimum dialogue.
-[Han-na] Ah.
-[Eun-ji laughs]
-So, she likes Seung-li more?
I think so, and it seems to be by a lot.
I do think she is definitely leaning now
more towards Seung-li.
[mellow music playing]
Where are you going? Where are you going?
[Eun-ji and Han-na laugh]
[In-guk] Here's Mi-ji.
[Eun-ji] His mood is a bit different.
[sighs] Oh.
[music fades]
-[Eun-ji] Ah
-[Car] He came.
She clearly told him not to choose her.
-She clearly told him not to come.
-Right, yes.
[In-guk] Mmm.
[Sang-ho] Oh, boy
[Sang-ho chuckles]
SECRET DATE
JI-SU & SANG-HO
Hello. [sighs]
Hey.
-Just have a serious conversation.
-[Car] Let's hear him out.
-We didn't get to hear Sang-ho's story.
-[Eun-ji] That's true.
[groovy music playing]
-Yeah.
-[music fades]
Uh, were you waiting long?
-Yeah, I've been here for a while.
-Oh.
[splutters] I'm sorry.
[both chuckle]
I didn't expect this.
Why?
Because I had said that in the morning.
Hmm.
I figured you would've gone
-to talk to someone else.
-Mm-hmm.
Hence my surprise
when you opened the door.
-Surprise?
-Yeah.
-Not in a negative way, but like, "What?"
-Yeah, I get it
-"Oh, I see." Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
[exhales]
I also
I wanted to choose you,
but I was kind of hesitant
because I didn't want to pressure you.
But when I thought about it,
I thought, "Why see someone
I'm not interested in?"
-Mmm.
-That's what I was thinking.
I thought I should choose
the person I liked.
-Ah.
-That seemed right.
I just really wanted to talk to you,
if possible.
[hesitates] What you said earlier
That not choosing me
is putting pressure on me,
I don't want you to think that. I just
Ah.
I really like you.
Yeah, well, so
If it doesn't work out,
I just want you to know that.
-Ah. Then, it's okay. Yeah.
-Right.
Actually, we went
on a date before, just us,
but we didn't really talk much
or anything like that.
I should have expressed myself.
It's something I really regret. Really.
-But back then
-Mmm.
I wasn't really on your mind, was I?
I mean, it's not that.
-I was just so out of it then.
-Mmm.
Back then, it was tough because
we'd just gotten here, and I was frazzled.
-Things started happening and, yeah
-Mmm.
Now that I think about it,
I think I acted pretty strange.
-I can't [groans]
-But, like,
at that point, everybody
was being super careful and reserved.
Ah, right. Me too.
But that was natural, though.
I should at least try harder.
[Car] It's a little too late for that now.
[Eun-ji] Yeah.
[mellow music playing]
Hmm.
[music fades]
It was a longer version
of our morning conversation.
But maybe I was
trying to be too nice about it.
[pensive music playing]
I later thought,
"Am I still leading him on?"
"Oh, should I have been
more direct about the whole thing?"
Since I told Sang-ho that
that I, uh
I no longer want to feel bad
or feel pressured. Yeah.
Suddenly, I liked her even more
after the date was over because
-Suddenly now?
-Even more?
-Hey.
-Wait.
I mean, I'm sorry, but
-From the first date
-he doesn't know the rules.
"The rules."
We're not asking about
your initial attraction.
I've never seen someone like this before.
-[In-guk] Incredible.
-This isn't it.
I get nervous
whenever Sang-ho starts talking.
When I showed up even after
what she said this morning
Even though she didn't say it directly,
like, "I'm okay with you coming."
She didn't directly say it,
but I was glad that she kind of said,
"I'm thankful that you came."
But she didn't say she was happy.
She didn't. [laughs]
Hence my surprise
when you opened the door.
-Surprise?
-Yeah.
-Not in a negative way, but like, "What?"
-Yeah, I get it
"Oh, I see." Yeah.
MISTOOK "SURPRISED" WITH "GLAD"
If she wasn't interested at all,
Ji-su wouldn't have said
it was okay or nice when I came.
And with what she told me at the end,
I thought she could tell me
because she now trusted me a bit.
That made me happy.
I thought I should
really give Ji-su my all.
My full attention
until she makes up her mind.
-Oh, wow. If he gives her his all now
-[Car] Sang-ho, you
-No.
-she'll totally run the other way.
[Car] Yes. Of course.
-Seriously.
-[Eun-ji] That's true.
Whoever was with him
during the interview, please help him now.
-You should've told him.
-Who asked him that?
-Why didn't you tell Sang-ho?
-Where's his camera director?
-[Han-na] They stood up.
-Can someone see him?
-[Eun-ji] What were you all doing?
-[laughter]
-Must've heard everything, audio director.
-Should've told him.
Why did you just sit back and watch?
You're all so cruel.
-You're all so mean, seriously.
-[Car] This kid is
Let me try and figure out what
-Sang-ho must be thinking.
-Oh, how?
"God. I feel bad
for Seung-li and Hyun-kyu."
-[laughs]
-[Han-na laughs]
-"Jumping in at the last minute"
-"Rocking the boat too much?"
Ah.
-Okay, you think that.
-[Eun-ji] So funny.
[Han-na] What should we do?
[Han-na] Oh, Do's date.
I think Do is really glowing today.
There's no clock here.
[pensive music playing]
[breathes heavily]
[Do] Gosh. "Why isn't anyone coming?"
"Did I not get chosen?"
"What's going on?"
My thoughts were racing.
[pensive music continues]
[Min-hong] I waited there,
thinking to myself,
"I really hope Jeong-mok shows up."
[music fades]
[mellow music playing]
Wow. Jeong-mok looks cool today.
-[Han-na] His hair
-[Eun-ji] Netflix face.
I wonder where he's going.
[Han-na] Oh.
-[Car] Oh, yeah.
-[Han-na] Of course. It's Do.
[Eun-ji exclaims]
[groovy upbeat music playing]
[Do] Hello.
Hey.
SECRET DATE
YI DO & JEONG-MOK
I think Do got butterflies
from seeing him in a suit.
-Yeah, he looks cool. So, so cool.
-[Eun-ji] Ah.
[music fades]
[wistful music playing]
[cell phone chimes]
What is this?
YOUR DATE HAS ENDED
[Han-na] Oh, Min-hong.
-[Eun-ji] Nobody?
-[Han-na] Nobody.
LAST NIGH
Well, if I somehow
do get a chance tomorrow,
I want to hang out with you.
That's really my only wish.
Five guys liking me isn't important.
All I need is one person.
[both chuckle]
[Min-hong] There isn't anything
I can do about this,
and I said what I wanted to say
without any regrets,
so I don't need to feel sad or happy
because I'm at peace with it.
I just accepted it and came back home.
I do still have feelings for Jeong-mok.
If I like him, I like him.
I should keep fighting.
Yeah, that's how I feel.
What took you so long?
[music fades]
-Huh?
-Hmm.
I waited for so long.
For how long?
-A lot.
-A lot?
Yeah.
[chuckles softly]
[enchanting music playing]
[Do] When Jeong-mok came in,
seeing him outside
of the resort one-on-one
felt very different.
I even got butterflies.
Hey, you two can't kiss.
-I I'm a little worried too.
-We were all nervous.
-[Eun-ji] I felt they wanted to kiss.
-Oh, eye contact? Yeah.
[Eun-ji] Yeah.
-[Do] So
-Mmm?
You said I was your first impression pick.
Why did you pick me?
I liked your eyes.
-Oh, were my eyes pure?
-Your eyes were pure.
-[chuckles softly]
-I
And you had a bright smile.
Oh, really? When we first met?
You stood out.
-Your look and your color, I guess.
-Ah.
Right, right. Hmm.
-Second
-Same.
-What?
-Why was I your first impression pick?
Well, when you were walking up,
I thought,
"That guy seems like he's nice."
-Hmm.
-Hmm.
Hmm.
Do you have anything
you want to do on a date?
On a date?
Just normally.
[mellow music playing]
[Jeong-mok] Mmm
I want to do things
I can do as a university student.
-You know?
-Ah.
Like?
-Meeting up when I don't have class.
-Yeah.
Going out to eat
or pulling all-nighters during exam week.
I want to do
normal things.
-Like this. I
-Mmm.
But I like anything,
-so it's more important who I do it with.
-Does that mean
Do you like bowling too? [chuckles]
With you, I like everything.
Oh, really?
I mean, these two
already seem like a couple.
-They're dating.
-[Car] Seriously, though.
-They are, right?
-It's been a while, I think.
They've been on so many dates already.
You know how when we start dating someone,
you ask things like,
"Remember that one time?
Why did you do that to me?"
-[Car and In-guk] Oh.
-Right.
-[Eun-ji] Doesn't it feel like that?
-They've gone over to that stage.
[enchanting music playing]
What do you like?
-What?
-Do you prefer certain types of dates?
I was also so sad
that I never dated on campus.
-Oh, I see.
-Like,
-couples study together at the library
-Right.
even though
they're studying different subjects.
-Yeah. Mmm.
-Things like that.
And also, lining up to eat
at the cafeteria together.
-Things like that.
-[Han-na] Oh
-They have many things they wanna do.
-[In-guk] Mmm.
-As for your school
-Yeah.
-I'll come over often.
-[Han-na] Oh, what?
-My school?
-Yeah!
Isn't it too far?
-It's not
-I'd still go.
[Han-na] It's not far.
It's not far at all.
Jeong-mok said, "I'll go to your school."
I thought,
"We can continue to keep in touch
while we're in Seoul."
-I was so happy.
-[Eun-ji] What is this now?
Is this official?
Is it Day 1?
Do you have female friends?
Friends? No, I
I don't think I have one.
I think I actually found
lifelong friends here,
like [hesitates] Ji-yeon.
-Oh, really? Mm-hmm.
-[chuckles]
You became friends?
We Yeah, we're friends.
Are aren't we?
Does she also think so?
-[Cupids] Oh!
-I'm joking.
[Han-na] Worrying about the female friend?
-Isn't Do's reaction a bit animated?
-[In-guk] Yeah, just now. Just now.
-Just now. Totally.
-Yeah, it was an American reaction.
-Mmm. How often do you
-Mmm?
prefer to go on dates?
-Yeah.
-How often? Well
If if you're in a relationship.
[enchanting music playing]
How often?
It'd be nice to meet often.
-Right.
-As often as we can.
Do you have any particular preferences?
I'd like to meet often.
-[splutters] What hold on. What?
-[In-guk] Hey!
-Ah director, I love the angle.
-[Eun-ji] What?
-Great angle, director.
-[Han-na] Oh, what is this?
Mm-hmm. How many dates
do you think you'll have today?
Take a guess.
I just want one.
-Oh
-[In-guk] What?
-[Han-na] Just with her?
-[chuckles]
I just want one date.
[In-guk] Great answer.
[Do] "Oh, this guy continuously
expresses his feelings to me."
"I should take this very seriously."
That's what was running through my head.
Jeong-mok is it for me.
[Han-na] Ah. "Jeong-mok is it for me."
THE NEXT NIGH
-[melancholic music playing]
-[Do sobbing]
[Do] Oh, you you took everything.
Who do you think you are?
[enthralling music playing]
