FLOWERS AND ROMANCE BLOOM IN SPRING

THE MELLOW SEASON WILL MAKE YOUR HEART FLUTTER

"I'VE ADMIRED BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS BY MYSELF"

"BUT I'D LIKE TO HAVE COMPANY NOW AS I APPRECIATE THEM"

HOPING TO FIND LOVE,

FIVE HOTTIES HAVE GATHERED HERE

Have you been well, Sae-ho?

-Hey, it's been ages. -Thanks to--

Is your business doing well?

-Thanks to your investment. -Your gift blew my mind.

Oh, it was nothing. I know how much you love sports cars.

Still, you didn't have to get me one.

It didn't seem like you owned that specific edition.

You're right. I didn't have that yellow one.

Thanks to your present,

I enjoyed a pleasant drive yesterday.

-I hope you liked it. -I loved it.

-He's my business partner. -It's a pleasure.

He doesn't have a tricycle, you see.

IT'S A PLEASURE, THANK YOU

So I got him… Oh, dear.

Well, he's put in some effort again.

ONE OTHER GUY HAS BEEN MAKING

OVER-THE-TOP POSES TO CLAIM ATTENTION

-He's doing something again. -Well, yeah.

-I dig the Super Bowl, you see. -Whatever you say.

NEW GUY WITH STRANGE CHARMS

I played golf yesterday, and the weather was amazing.

Yesterday, I dabbled in tennis.

Did you buy a tennis court?

I did, though it's a small one.

How's your four-trillion-won deal going?

That's become a pet project.

I now have my eye on a six-trillion-won business.

MEN WITH QUESTIONABLE CHARMS

ATTENDING A BLIND DATE IN SEARCH OF LOVE

Woo-young, a true big shot will be joining us shortly.

-The lady you told me so much about? -Yes, she's a major investor.

I hear her influence reaches overseas.

Absolutely. Her business is a success in the global market.

Let me be clear, though. She's not that lady.

-Hello, miss. -Dang it.

-This way, please. -My gosh.

Hello.

-Hello, miss. -Dang it.

Hello.

A SHY LADY WITH A CUTE LITTLE HAIRPIN

-This way, please. -My gosh.

You look like a pretty wrestler.

Please come this way.

-Here, ma'am. -Oh, okay.

-You must be the organizer. -I'm Sook--

-This way. -Sorry? Where?

-Please come with me. -Where to?

-Wait. -I'm here to meet new guys.

As I was saying,

let's have some fun today.

REJECTED

-I think she might be a salesperson. -Oh, no.

I'm here to attend a blind date.

I'd hate to be rude to a stranger,

but you have the fists of a fighter.

Oh, no. I've been told that I have large hands, though.

-It's nice to meet you. -Likewise.

-Did you say a blind date? -Yes.

CUTE LADY WITH EXTRAORDINARY FISTS

-My gosh! -Ma'am!

Welcome, Ms. Hong.

I hear her influence reaches overseas.

Absolutely. Her business is a success in the global market.

If she's nice as well…

Allow me to introduce a global sensation to you.

Here's Ms. Hong.

CRACKING UP

Hello.

Can I get a balloon poodle?

SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'D BE GREAT AT BALLOON MODELING

I'm Sherry Hong, a hairstylist and entrepreneur based in Hong Kong.

-My gosh. -It's such an honor.

I first started out in a tiny salon, but I now have branches in Shanghai…

-Not this? -And also…

THAT'S STRANGE YOU LOOK LIKE A CLOWN

That's her side job.

I also have salons in Shenzhen, Lan Kwai Fong,

-Malaysia… -I see.

-…Kuala Lumpur, and Vietnam. -Isn't Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia?

We're leading the Southeast Asian Market…

THIS SOUTHEAST ASIAN BEAUTY MARKET MOGUL

BUILT HER EMPIRE FROM THE GROUND UP

I believe my chain is the biggest in the area.

Why isn't your own hair styled?

FLUSH OF ANGER

I must say,

you're quite rude.

-Don't be like that. -Are you trying to hit on me?

HER FLIRTING GAME IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL!

-He might take offense. -Was that your goal?

BLANDEST ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ANGLE

We did a blind date episode on our predecessor show.

-Do you remember? -Sure.

-That was exactly two years ago. -Has it been so long?

-The weather's perfect around this time. -That's true.

-Many do have blind dates. -Right.

I was still in my dating era back then.

My wife was my girlfriend then,

and she enjoyed that episode very much.

-So you were seeing her then. -Are all of us having blind dates?

That's actually related to the question I wanted to ask.

If you think about it,

-Jin-kyung and Sae-ho are married. -That's true.

Sook has a thing going with a certain gentleman.

-No, no. -How so?

-He's her boyfriend. -Is that right?

-A contractual one, that is. -Stop it.

-I only live just for you -That's a good impression.

It's a really good one.

TURNS INTO SOOK'S DATE

Hey, you do look like him too.

He does look like Bon-seung.

This is the actual dance Bon-seung performed on stage.

He's right.

Dude, you've got good hip thrusts.

GEN X-ERS KNOW IT

I didn't travel all the way from Hong Kong to see that mess.

MS. SHERRY HONG IS UPSET

Such nimble thrusts.

Are you fine with having blind dates?

I don't see why we'd have a problem.

Back then, only Jin-kyung and I didn't get to meet anyone.

Look at Woo-young's sharp ensemble.

He looks great.

He's come determined to start something with someone.

Yeah, as for the rest of us,

the characters we dressed up as have comical elements.

-But not you, Woo-young. -He's dressed to steal a girl's heart.

He's got a watch and a bracelet he rarely wears too.

I dress up like this whenever I hit a convenience store.

Cut that crap.

It's comfy and relaxed.

At any rate, the guys should learn a tip or two from the ladies.

-We took the blind date concept literally. -Same here.

I only thought of dressing smartly.

THEIR LOOKS PUT THE GUYS TO SHAME

This much is a given for blind dates, no?

SNORTS

Can you put up your fists for me?

HERE I GO!

Goodness.

COME AT ME, BLIND DATE!

-At the end of the day, we're on a show. -Right.

We ask for your families' and Sook's date's understanding.

-Come on. -We're in an alternate universe here,

so I'm hoping they'll be generous with the concept.

So we'll be on blind dates as fictional characters?

-Exactly. -Got it.

-I'll think of it as a skit. -As you should, of course.

I'm down with whatever as long as it's not each other.

We had Jin visit us last time.

Could it be that we'll be having guests on a similar level as Jin?

-Oh, really? -Woo-young must've hit home.

I'm sure you'll all be wondering who your dates are going to be.

Please take a turn to introduce us one person you'd like as your date.

I hope my date and I have compatible personalities.

-Who could manage that feat, though? -Understood. And you, Sook?

I'm good as long as my date isn't Yoon Jung-soo.

-A love triangle. -I barely managed to shake him off.

What they have is rare.

-What about you, Woo-young? -Let me think.

I'd like to meet a calm and composed woman

with a beautiful smile.

She's right next to you.

-Where? -There, she has a beautiful smile.

SHERRY HONG, LADY WITH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE

OH, HER

Can I get a perm sometime?

Come see me whenever.

People scared of clowns won't be able to watch this episode.

-I mean that. It's a real condition. -I know what you mean.

Who would you like to meet, Jin-kyung?

-Well-- -Seon-jae.

-Who is that? -The male lead from Lovely Runner?

And not Woo-seok? All right.

Woo-seok is far too good for me.

-Seon-jae would be enough. -Are you sure you don't mean sensei?

-How about you, Sae-ho? -I recently fell in love

with the character of Ae-sun.

If we could have a blind date with fictional characters as well,

I would like my date to be her so I could pamper her.

If I were Sae-ho, I would say,

"While I'm already married to her,

-I'd like to have a date with my wife." -Me too.

-They're in their honeymoon phase. -I expected to hear that too.

Why should he care about Ae-sun?

I can't imagine why he would mention her.

-His wife would feel so upset. -We can't even edit it out.

AVOIDS THE CAMERA

If you ask me,

I would like my date to be--

-You mentioned Ae-sun. -We heard already.

-That footage would make the final cut. -Of course.

I want to visit the restaurant

-where I first met my wife. -Give it up.

I'll directly announce your dates for today's blind date.

Your dates for today are…

The crew outdid themselves.

-…your fellow cast mates. -Dang it.

-You ran out of ideas, didn't you? -We're one person short.

-You put in no effort at all. -I'm taking this off.

-Why should I bother with this? -Please let me finish.

DANG IT

I'm already mad as hell.

BY OURSELVES? BUT WE DRESSED UP!

Oh, I found something.

I'm taking this to my wife.

TOO LATE, DUDE

Do we really have no guests?

Let me explain the scenario.

One of Netflix's flagship dating shows

-is Single's Inferno. -Single's Inferno.

I'm sure you'll remember.

Wait, but our vibe is closer to that of I am SOLO.

No, wait. Are you sure it isn't Inferno, period?

As you know,

couples on the show spend time in "Paradise"

while singles must remain in "Inferno."

It's a bold and spicy dating show.

AND NOW

A BOLD AND SPICY DAY AWAITS

We promise you a bold and spicy day

with your fellow cast mates as your dates.

Isn't that nice?

What do you think you're doing?

YOU THINK SO?

-"Bold and spicy"? -Exactly.

Gosh, I thought you were going to hit me.

Are we going for "bold and furious"?

-I thought we'd have a spicy rumble. -I put up a guard on reflex.

So no one's joining us?

-Must we pretend to like it? -Is it just us?

What if we say we hate it?

That is exactly why we came up with a new concept

with a new twist to Single's Inferno, one of Netflix's successful dating shows.

Today's theme is "Couple's Inferno."

SNEER

Do couples end up in Inferno?

Unlike in Single's Inferno, singles will go to Paradise…

SINGLES CAN RELAX IN THE LUXURIOUS PARADISE

…while couples will end up in Inferno.

COUPLES MUST ENDURE A ROMANTIC DATE

You can earn points from games.

The person who is placed at the bottom must remain in Inferno for a date.

Their partner to endure it with

will be decided by the votes from the Love Kibitzers, the crew.

Those designated to have a date must complete a mission

to escape from the Inferno.

FORCING YOUR CAST MEMBERS TO HAVE A DATE?

THAT'S A NOVEL PENALTY

The bold and spicy dating show

"Couple's Inferno" begins now.

-Hello. -Hi!

I can supply you with kimchi for the rest of your life.

To ferment us to death?

Hey, my net worth is two trillion won.

Be mine if you want to use it.

That's baloney.

Hi, I was born to shower my sweetheart with love.

And you, my sweetheart, were born to be loved.

That's my opening line. Thanks.

Hi.

My purse is filled with bills.

(CREW MEMBER'S PURSE)

Who wants to hang with me?

So you're a pickpocket.

With me as your partner,

your life will be…

full of laughter…

Full of laugh lines.

You'll get plenty of laugh lines as well.

This episode is bound to bomb.

WHO WILL END UP ENDURING A DATE IN INFERNO AS A COUPLE?

Welcome to Couple's Inferno,

the hottest hell on earth.

-Let's go! -I'll avoid that no matter what.

I'm most at ease when I'm single.

I'll work harder than in any of the episodes so far.

-Same here. -I'm going to go to Paradise.

There's a benefit there, right?

The Paradise itself will offer you a pleasant time.

You can rest there.

-Really? -Of course.

-Okay. -As we should.

SINGLES CAN REST IN PARADISE

DELICIOUS FOOD IS PREPARED

I'll now announce the first game that will decide your fate.

-It's the Lipstick Game. -Lipstick?

What's that about?

-Jin-kyung. -Yes?

Do you perhaps remember Dex's first scene in Single's Inferno?

-Of course. -Everyone would remember that one.

Can you recall the name of the game he played back then?

CRAWL ON THE GROUND ON ALL FOURS

TO REACH YOUR GOAL USING EVERY LAST OUNCE OF YOUR POWER

ANYHOW, IT REQUIRES STRENGTH

Our first game of the day

is Three-way Triangle Tug-of-War.

-Just a moment. -If that's the case…

Will Sook and Jin-kyung be competing too?

Do all five of us have to play it?

You went too far with that one.

I think it's for the three guys.

The men and the women will play the game separately.

Even then, I just don't think I'd cut it.

I mean, I'm clearly at a disadvantage.

Can Sun-gyu join us?

SUN-GYU WOULDN'T HAVE REALIZED…

The one who lost at arm wrestling against me.

…THAT HIS DEFEAT WOULD BE PLAYED AGAIN AND AGAIN

You were phenomenal back then.

Anyhow, I'll play against the girls.

Go ahead. Join us.

-I should get to do that. -Let's talk about the rules in detail.

Three players will compete in each game of tug-of-war.

Obviously, you'll have to move forward in the direction you're facing.

At its end, a cast member of the opposite sex will be there.

You'll be given one minute to apply lipstick to that person's lips.

The person to do so best wins the game.

-So we have to put it on them? -That is correct.

We'd get our share of the lipstick, then.

-For the women's game, yes. -They'll put it on us.

I'm already wearing a whole lot of lipstick.

-I have to add more? -You'll have to remove it.

Putting the lipstick on your partner first doesn't guarantee your victory.

Whoever applies it the best will be declared the winner.

Wait, we have three guys here, so one wouldn't have a partner.

WE NEED ANOTHER WOMAN…

You're right.

We're one woman short, aren't we?

Do we have a guest?

-So there is a guest after all. -Here we go.

We have a guest joining us to even out the numbers.

A FEMALE GAME CHANGER

-What are the upcoming Netflix shows? -So my efforts aren't being wasted.

Could she be an actress?

Could it be Suzy?

Please join us.

ANTICIPATION RUNS HIGH

-No, ma'am. -As if.

-Oh, dear. -Out of my way.

Like I said, get out of my way.

-Ma'am! -Stop following me around!

CRACKING UP

It's been a while.

-I said I don't want it! -It's been ages.

-Ms. Kim. -That's enough.

"Ms. Kim"?

I warned you. Stop following me.

Respectfully, the chairman ordered us to keep you safe.

Listen, I'm not interested in arranged marriages.

No, Mr… I mean, Ms. Kim.

"Mr. Kim"?

OOPS

SMOTHERS A LAUGH

-He called her a mister. -Just a second.

Give this message to my dad.

Tell him I won't stay as his girl in the bubbles.

-No! -Get lost!

-Ms. Kim! -I said, leave!

It must've taken ages to let her hair grow so long.

What now?

Would you look at that?

SAVAGE

SHAKEN

HEIRESS GEARING UP FOR A FIGHT

-She's no joke. -Bring it on!

I'LL BE THE MASTER OF MY LIFE

THESE GOONS CAN'T CONTROL ME

-She punched him for real! -She tagged him clean.

WE'RE TERRIFIED

MR. CHAIRMAN, WHO OR WHAT DID YOU RAISE IN YOUR BUBBLES?

GOODNESS…

He took a punch to the gut.

I'll find the right guy for me.

ENDING FAIRY

FEELING THE GROUND

The ground's not soft at all.

HER BODYGUARDS ARE CRUSHED

-I think he's bleeding. -Are you sure they're fine?

WORKERS' COMP REQUIRED…

-He got hit hard. -Return to your posts.

-Return to what? -To their posts.

-Adjust your clothes. -Ma'am.

Grab your sunglasses.

It's been too long, Hye-seon.

NEWCOMER WITH BRUTE STRENGTH

We made our comeback, Hye-seon.

-"I'll be back." -You've made it back. Welcome.

If you ask me, those guys still have trouble breathing.

Thank you, Hye-seon's friends.

THANK YOU, PARK GYU-MIN AND AN HYEONG-SU

Did you smack him harder for almost calling you Mr. Kim?

A PUNCH WITH FEELINGS

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL AN HEIRESS A MISTER

Welcome to Couple's Inferno, the hottest hell on earth.

This is your new castmate, Hye-seon.

GRACEFUL

-Aren't you cold? -I am cold.

Being a member of a distinguished family,

her father, the chairman, opposed her decision to join us on the show.

He tried to stop her by sending extra bodyguards,

but she bested them and joined us nonetheless.

The bodyguards are to remain here per the chairman's request,

and we ask for your understanding.

It's been a while, Hye-seon. Could you please introduce yourself?

It's a pleasure.

My gosh, Hye-seon.

I felt it, to be honest.

MY HEART STIRRING UP LIKE CRAZY

Right here.

I'll work harder than in any of the episodes so far.

BUT SHE'S IRRESISTIBLE

GET LOST

-She's no joke. -You might get hurt. Stay away.

How about this jacket?

SAE-HO APPROACHES HER THIS TIME

SAE-HO MUST BE TO HER LIKING

-This heiress is so feisty. -Hurry.

Sae-ho?

When I meet a new guy,

I take in their physique first.

I see if they're well-built

and look dependable enough.

Considering how things are,

it seemed like…

her family was rather affluent.

Some may call me superficial,

but the fact did appeal to me.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you.

My name is Kim Hye-seon. I was born in 1997, the year of the pig.

My hobbies are…

-In 1997? -…pulling tires by the teeth

and slicing up radish with nunchucks.

-Weren't you around in the 1988 Olympics? -Shut it.

IT'S A FAUX PAS TO ASK A LADY'S AGE

Gosh, she's not holding back.

From what I hear, her father owns a large corporation.

She has such long and thick hair

as well as physical strength.

It seemed like she was showing off all her diverse assets.

That got on my nerves.

Earlier, we saw Sae-ho

give Hye-seon his jacket so she wouldn't be cold out there.

You can only acquire good manners through practice,

and I took note of his fine manners.

ORIGINALLY YOU HAVE TO AVOID BECOMING A COUPLE

Things sure got heated now our cast members are evenly matched.

All right. Let's begin the Lipstick Game.

All contestants will be given points according to their ranks.

First place gets 100 points.

Second place, 30 points.

-The points vary, I see. -Third place, zero points.

-Geez. I must aim high. -Those are the rules.

The three-way game will determine first place.

Those who didn't place first will play another match to determine their ranks.

A second-place match?

A LIGHT WARM-UP

-Wait. So the three of us are competing? -That's right.

She's going to be unstoppable.

QUAKING

-Lucky us, then. -Thank goodness.

-If we had to compete against her-- -Shouldn't she play against these guys?

She's playing with Jin-kyung and me?

Wait, Hye-seon.

Your hamstrings are incredible.

My legs are…

Well, yeah.

They're just…

I've put on some muscle. That's how they normally are.

Please hand the guys a lipstick each.

Please look this way, guys.

-Okay. -This is a blind date episode,

so we'll now give you a choice to select the woman

you want to put lipstick on.

I want Sook.

At moments, Sook acts all shy.

Those moments do make your heart flutter.

HEH-HEH

What about you, Woo-jae?

-How about you? -Well…

A HELLISH CHOICE BETWEEN TWO OPTIONS

I'll go with Hye-seon.

-Hye-seon? -Yeah.

SMIRK

He's got high standards.

Winning me over will be the biggest challenge in the world.

I'll go with Jin-kyung.

Let me tell you why.

Her torso is longer than others,

-so if she leans in even just a bit-- -Wait.

But you won't even get that far because you're too weak.

YOU'VE GOT A POINT

Once we're paired up,

does that make us a team?

Your partner will be the same for the women's game.

-Okay. Let's do this! -That's how we'll play it.

A COUPLE'S GAME TO AVOID BECOMING A COUPLE

THE MEN'S FIRST GAME TO DETERMINE THE WINNER

This won't be easy, Jin-kyung.

GUARDING THE LADY

MENACING MORAL SUPPORT

I should lower my center of gravity.

I feel confident about my strength.

I'm wide alert.

I'm long-limbed compared to other guys.

I thought it could give me an edge.

Ready.

HOPING TO RECREATE DEX'S SUCCESS

Set…

GO!

CACKLES

AS EXPECTED MR. SCARECROW GETS DRAGGED AWAY

BLISSFULLY HAPPY

DESPERATELY HANGING IN THERE

THIS GUY IS STRUGGLING TOO

What is he doing? Goodness.

-Gosh, Sae-ho. -Wow, I'm impressed, Sae-ho.

ACE PLAYER AMONG THE WEAKLINGS

HURRY OVER TO ME

WOO-BROTHERS ARE BEING DRAGGED AWAY

WAIT FOR ME, HYE-SEON

It's slippery.

It's because it's slippery.

-Just a bit further. -It's slippery.

WHILE SAE-HO STRUGGLES,

WOO-YOUNG MAKES HEADWAY

Just a bit further, Woo-young.

READYING THE LIPSTICK

Come on, Woo-young.

YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!

You're slipping away, Woo-young.

LOSES A SHOE

AS THEY STUMBLE WOO-JAE STARTS TO PUSH AHEAD

THIS IS MY SHOT

-What's going on? -It's the slippery grass.

HOW IS WOO-JAE WINNING?

What on earth, Woo-jae?

I'M ALMOST THERE

Seriously, Woo-jae!

AGAIN, I'M SO CLOSE

Who was that just now?

I ONLY TOOK A FEW STEPS BACK

TO BUILD UP MOMENTUM

FALLS BACKWARD

WHAT'S UP WITH HIM?

CRACKS UP

Gosh, look at Sae-ho!

IN THE MIDST OF THE WHOLE FIASCO

SAE-HO SEIZES HIS CHANCE

FINALLY GETS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HIS PARTNER

APPLIES THE LIPSTICK

Get Sae-ho away from her.

Work together, you two.

SABOTEUR APPROACHING

Dang it.

MAKEUP SESSION DOESN'T STOP DESPITE THE DIRTY TRICK

Hold on.

Mine broke.

RIP LIPSTICK

You should've had it twisted down.

Hurry, Woo-jae.

NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY PULL

Woo-young!

THESE TWO ARE UNAFFECTED

Woo-jae!

Drag him over together.

-Okay. -What on earth?

You didn't even get close to me.

Why are you so weak?

I was almost there.

HEH

There's no suspense at all.

Send me to the Couple's Inferno.

No, I think I should end up there.

All right. Nicely done!

In the men's game,

-Sae-ho claimed first place. -Let's go!

It wasn't so bad.

Not bad at all.

-It was great. -Okay.

How should I put this?

Seeing him

approach me so daringly

made me feel like giving him a hug

or protecting him from any harm.

I've never applied lipstick on anyone before.

I've only done that to Hye-seon.

I hope we can share a pleasant time as considerate adults.

MEN'S SECOND-PLACE GAME

Ready.

-Let's do this! -Good luck!

You've got this.

IF THEY LOSE AGAIN,

THEIR LIKELIHOOD OF ENDING UP IN INFERNO INCREASES

Set…

GROAN AND TEARS

MR. SCARECROW FLAILING YET AGAIN

I KNEW IT

He's really not my type.

HE'S LIKE A NEWBORN CALF

IN THE MEANTIME…

DROPS THE LIPSTICK PICKS IT UP

UNFORTUNATE VICTIM FOR THE GREATER GOOD

I'M SORRY, SOOK

MUFFLED

Seriously, punk.

Do you have a death wish, you crazy son of a b****?

-How dare you? -Woo-young!

ENJOYING HER BREAD, HAVING THE WORST DAY OF HIS LIFE

He's the worst.

HIS IMAGE TANKS AS HE DOES HIS BEST

Lie flat on the ground, Woo-jae.

-Hey, Jang Woo-young. -Hang in there.

Stay right there. You can do it.

It's over.

Still, Woo-young went way too far!

REMINDS YOU OF PRINCESS MONONOKE

We should be talking about Woo-jae, not Woo-young.

He's a feeble wimp.

What are you chewing?

Bread.

How could you be eating something while your partner is suffering here?

I don't want to partner up with Woo-young anymore.

I'm so sorry.

CACKLES

You didn't have to go this far.

MY BAD, I WAS IN A RUSH

Woo-young takes second place in the men's game. Congratulations.

Why are you so weak, Woo-jae?

Woo-jae.

You're not hurt or anything, are you?

Seriously, where's Sun-gyu?

WHAT A WIMP

THIS IS HIS LIFE'S ACHIEVEMENT

-Now, let's begin the women's game. -Okay!

I'm terrified.

-I'm scared too. -Good luck, Sook!

Wait, Director Park.

We're partnered up for the games,

but we're scored separately, right?

-That's right. -Sure.

Okay, then.

STILL A ROTTEN JERK

You have to lean in for a better shot at this.

He said we were scored separately.

You're really mean, you know that?

WHO CARES? NOT ME

Think of it as rock climbing. Try using this edge of your feet.

-Okay, I got it. -Great. Try it that way.

-Just like that. -Ready.

You've got this, Sook!

-Let's do this, Sae-ho! -Good luck!

-Wait for me, babe. -Sure thing!

DO YOUR BEST OR WHATEVER…

HE REALLY MUST HAVE ISSUES

-You can do this! -Do it!

WHILE HYE-SEON IS LIKELY TO WIN BY A LANDSLIDE…

THE GAME BEGINS!

AS EXPECTED…

SHERRY HONG IS FLUNG AWAY LIKE A PAPER DOLL

You don't stand a chance.

-Oh, man! -What on earth?

UNEXPECTED STRONG START FROM SOOK

PLASTERS IT ALL OVER HIS LIPS

What's going on?

What happened to Sook?

HYE-SEON SLIPPED EARLY ON IN THE GAME

Damn it. It's so slippery.

SEIZING HER CHANCE

SOOK REACHED HER PARTNER IN A FLASH

LOCKED ON COORDINATES

Jong-kook saw Sook lifting weights

-and gave her his approval. -Hang in there.

GRIPPING FIRMLY

I'm almost done.

SHE EVEN HAS THE EXTRA SUPPORT FROM HER PARTNER

For your information, you don't get any points, Woo-young.

Is that right?

Is that right?

TIME TO RETURN TO HER ORIGINAL POST

Here she comes.

LET'S GO

BRINGING DEX'S ENERGY

Hang in there, Sook.

She's something else.

Hang in there. No!

I'm Kim Hye-seon!

GETTING DRAGGED ACROSS THE LAWN

SHE IS COMING TO ME

Here she is.

SHE'S TRAINED HER WHOLE LIFE

FINALLY REACHES SAE-HO

LET ME DOLL YOU UP

WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT

FALTERS

ARGH!!!

PULLS HIS HAIR

HURRIEDLY ENDS THE GAME

MY PRECIOUS HAIR…

It was so slippery.

Man, you were amazing, Sook.

I'm exhausted.

DARK HORSE OF THE GAME, SOOK

I'M GOING TO CRY HERE

-Now-- -I'm amazed.

I thought Hye-seon would win easily.

-What's up with her? -Could anyone go

-and check on her? -She's napping.

What happened?

-Jin-kyung. -The day is too long.

This day is dragging on forever.

We still have to see who applied the lipstick better.

I still applied it first.

But what matters is who applied it better, right?

We'll review the results.

THEY CERTAINLY HAVE LIPSTICK ON THEIR LIPS

NOT FAR OUT OF LINE FROM HIS LIPS BUT THERE ARE BLANK SPOTS

LIPSTICK COVERS HIS LIPS AND ALMOST REACHES HIS NOSTRILS

-The game goes to Sook! -There we go!

SOOK SECURES A WIN AGAINST ALL ODDS

No, I'm not exactly working out.

My muscles grow on their own regardless.

To tell you the truth, these…

aren't my boobs.

(THEY'RE PECS)

You're amazing, Sook.

-How incredible. -Isn't it so slippery?

-I couldn't do much either. -I'm exhausted.

How did you manage to hang in there?

Look at her shoes!

She's wearing killer cleats.

SECRET TO HER VICTORY SPIKED SHOES

Could these have helped?

MEANWHILE, SHERRY HONG…

SHE'S DEVASTATED AT THE THOUGHT OF GOING AGAINST HYE-SEON NEXT

We'd have to play the second-place match, right?

But is it necessary?

Here's a suggestion.

-Jin-kyung. -Yes?

Are you open to Woo-jae competing in your place?

I'm down with that.

-It's time to restore your pride. -You can do this, Woo-jae.

Think about it, Sae-ho. I'd have trouble even if I won,

and it'd be much worse if I lost.

I don't want to feel small. I'm a guy with pride too!

Come on, you can beat her.

You can do it.

-Jin-kyung isn't feeling well. Help her. -Come on, dude.

Woo-jae.

Come here.

She wants you to face her. Get out there.

-Yeah, go ahead. -I have to face more humiliation?

NO MAN BACKS DOWN FROM A FIGHT

-Go on. -Take her down in one go.

-Honestly… -Show us what you've got.

-Woo-jae. Wait. -How am I supposed to do that?

The game now will decide who gets second place, right?

If you win, we'll award the points to you.

Really?

-Jin-kyung already gave up anyway. -That's true.

-You can give him the points. -We'll award them to you.

You're a guy too. I'm sure you can win.

I'm sure all of our crew remembers

-the Field Day episode. -Don't try to spin it already.

The guys threw the game away--

DON'T BUILD UP AN EXCUSE

The match will decide who gets 30 points.

Give it all you've got.

GULP

It seemed I met a worthy foe at long last.

How dare he?

WOMEN'S SECOND-PLACE MATCH

Ready.

THIS WILL DECIDE THE RANKS AMONG THE WOMEN

Crouch down.

IT'S THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY

I PLAN ON MAKING HISTORY TODAY

Set.

GO!

WHO WILL TRIUMPH?

Lie flat on the ground.

-Geez! -Lie on the ground.

Lie flat on the ground.

IT ONLY TOOK 1 SECOND

-Lie on the ground. -Look at you, wimp.

STARTS APPLYING LIPSTICK WITH EASE

EVEN I CAN HOLD OUT LONGE THAN YOU

-You can do this. Take one step at a time. -You've got this.

One step at a time.

It's so slippery!

-You're the problem. -Spread out your feet.

Men rarely lose to women in a game of strength.

THIS COUPLE IS SHARING A SWEET MOMENT TOGETHER

FEELING SHY

Try moving diagonally.

-Looks like they're all set. -Bend your arms.

DOES HIS BEST UNTIL THE END

HOW BOTHERSOME

GET OVER HERE, YOU

ROLLING

TAKE THAT FOR DISTURBING MY LOVE LIFE

Be careful.

CRACKING UP

This makeup artist offers great service.

What on earth is this?

UTTER HUMILIATION

THIS IS HELLISH

Great service.

Hey, Woo-jae.

She spun you like a pinwheel.

Are you okay, Woo-jae?

Goodness. Are you okay, Hye-seon?

Damn it. Get lost.

Come on. It won't do for me to hurt you.

I'll announce the final results of the women's game.

Hold on. Could you leave out "women's"?

LET HIM KEEP HIS LAST PIECE OF DIGNITY

Second place went to Hye-seon, and third place to Woo-jae. Congrats.

Goodness, Woo-jae. I hope you don't cry.

-Don't cry, Woo-jae. -Hey, Woo-jae.

-Your considerate nature shone. -It sure did.

I wonder why he looks so pitiful.

He may look good on the outside,

but he's a failure as a man.

I wonder if he could defend himself.

I won't ask him to protect anyone else.

I merely wish he was strong enough to keep himself safe.

After the game, he approached me

and asked if I saw how he went easy on Hye-seon.

Could he be more pathetic?

It felt as if I was competing by myself.

It was as if there was no one there,

leaving me to approach Sae-ho without any trouble.

It was my way of showing my deep devotion to variety shows--

SOMETIMES YOU CAN LOSE TO A WOMAN IN A BATTLE OF STRENGTH

ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON

ONE HOUR LATER

As we continue with the challenge of holding back laughter,

could I ask a small question?

-May I do that? -Sure.

-We'll have to avoid laughing from now on. -Of course.

Which middle school did you attend?

IS THIS OFTEN ASKED ON DATES?

Kimsang Middle School.

Oh, Kimsang Middle School. That place…

Isn't it an all-boys school?

-1 POINT

Isn't it an all-boys school?

-Oh, you can't do that. -Isn't that inappropriate?

could you please sing us a verse of your school song?
