THE LOVE LAB

The second Love Lab experiment is

"Isolated Romance."

ISOLATED ROMANCE

What?

-What?
-You're telling us right away?

This means they are
locking them up somewhere.

No cell phones…

-Or a prison?
-Let's see.

Are they going to be like
prisoners in a prison?

Shall we start watching first?

The subjects

will be isolated in a cabin
for three nights and four days.

Some subjects are
other subjects' ideal types,

and some are the opposite
of the others' ideal types.

-You said you like older women.
-How old do I look?

I hope you're older.

-A nice cat?
-But I'm not a cat.

-Dog or rabbit?
-Dog or rabbit.

Sadly, I'm not a cat.

Every subject's ideal type
is hopelessly mismatched.

-She's my type.
-It's not the vibe I'm into.

In this place, where all connections
to the outside world are cut off…

I came here to get a girlfriend.

…they must focus solely on each other.

The subjects will meet
their ideal types here.

So will they be able to find love?

What if I end up liking him?

3 NIGHTS AND 4 DAYS WITH YOUR IDEAL TYPE
ISOLATED ROMANCE

Hey, there aren't just two this time.

Hey!

There are a few.

-There are three?
-Three?

Gosh, I think they might end up fighting.

Three nights and four days
with your ideal type?

Their ideal type may be there

or may not be there.

-How do they know, though?
-Right?

SUBJECT 1 HAS ARRIVED
AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN

THE WAY TO THE ISOLATED HOUSE

EXPERIMENT: IF YOU'RE ISOLATED WITH…,
WOULD YOU FALL FOR THEM?

WE DID A SURVEY ON SUBJECT 1'S IDEAL TYPE
TWO WEEKS AGO

Looks-wise…

I'm not into pretty boys.

Men with a strong physique
and bold facial features

look attractive to me.

I like mature men,

so I'd like him to be older.

What about someone
who looks like Seo In-guk?

I actually voted for him
when he was on Superstar K.

Gong Myoung or Seo In-guk?

Seo In-guk.

Seo In-guk or Jang Ki-yong?

I prefer Seo In-guk.

Is this my ideal type "this or that"?

-Seo In-guk or Park Ji-hoon?
-Seo In-guk.

I guess Seo In-guk is my type.

Park Bo-gum or Seo In-guk?

Seo In-guk.

HER IDEAL TYPE IS SEO IN-GUK

He beat all of them.

-Seo In-guk beat the rest.
-Yeah.

There are five people here.

-Are these photos of them?
-Yes.

PICK THE PERSON THAT IS
CLOSEST TO YOUR IDEAL TYPE

My ideal type?

-Him.
-Okay.

SHE CHOSE "MAN 1" AS HER IDEAL TYPE

Could you explain why?

WHAT ABOUT HIM FITS YOUR IDEAL TYPE?

His looks… I think he's attractive.

He seems playful.

He might be around my age.

But he is wearing a very interesting ring.

What about the last person?

SHE CHOSE "MAN 5"
AS FURTHEST FROM HER IDEAL TYPE

He's very handsome.

He's very pretty.

He looks like an artist.

It's hard to pose like this for a photo.

Is he a musician? Earphones…

FIRST PLACE

LAST PLACE

SUBJECT 1'S IDEAL TYPE
1. NOT TOO PRETTY

2. BOLD FEATURES, LIKE SEO IN-GUK
3. MATURE OLDER MAN

I think I know.

-Know what?
-I think

they'll lock her up with her number one
and her number five.

But that's not really a fair game
for the number five guy, no?

I wonder who will come.
How will they appear?

Are they watching me or not?

WAITING FOR THE OTHER SUBJECTS

SUBJECT 2 IS WALKING TOWARD HER

He's very pretty.

SUBJECT 2 IS FURTHEST FROM HER IDEAL TYPE

Is he the guy that

-was ranked number five?
-He was in last place.

But he looks pretty handsome.

-He was in last place?
-Yeah.

Why?

Because he's handsome. He's too pretty.

What's going on?

Hello.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

-Hello.
-Hi.

I'm usually attracted to
elegant women with a clean vibe.

I prefer someone who is
down-to-earth than flashy.

She looks elegant and clean.

They look good together.

-This is awkward.
-Yeah.

-May I ask your name?
-I am

-Lah Hyun-jin.
-Hyun-jin?

My name is Ahn Si-hyun.

-Ahn Si-hyun?
-Si-hyun.

-Nice to meet you.
-I'll try to remember.

I've memorized yours.

Did you eat yet?

-I had breakfast.
-Breakfast.

Did you eat anything?

-I had stone-pot bulgogi.
-Oh, sounds tasty.

What did you have?

I had a hamburger.

-A hamburger?
-Yes.

What kind of burger did you have?

I had the breakfast menu

at Burger King.

-Oh, the one with the egg?
-How did you know?

-I really love burgers.
-Really?

You're a burger expert.

-I suppose I am.
-Okay.

"Burger expert"?

Because it was awkward,

I kept rambling on about random stuff,

but he went along with it.

All I could think about

is how to keep the conversation going.

-You must've woken up early.
-I didn't sleep.

-You didn't sleep?
-No.

I'm super awake.

I think my pupils are dilated.

You're in a calmly unhinged state.

Yeah.

He looked very kind.

Both his looks

and the way he spoke.

I thought he's just
a kind and pure person.

I learned his name and thought,
"Oh, a stranger."

SHE DOESN'T REALIZE HE'S THE MAN
SHE CHOSE AS FURTHEST FROM HER IDEAL TYPE

She looked cute.

She had bright, lively eyes,

so she seemed energetic.

She looked refined too.

I got a bit nervous.

My lips were quivering.

So you like the beach.
Any beach in particular?

-None?
-Do you?

I like Gangneung.

Each beach has its own vibe.

So…

SUBJECT 3 IS APPROACHING

What the heck?

-He looks just like Seo In-guk.
-He does.

Honestly, I don't like it when people

compare participants of dating shows

-with certain celebrities.
-Okay.

It feels like a marketing tactic.

When you compare them to a celebrity,

-it makes a good headline.
-Right.

So I really hate it when they make
ridiculous comparisons,

but he really looks like him.

-He really does.
-Yeah.

Him.

HE'S CLOSEST TO SUBJECT 1'S IDEAL TYPE

Someone is coming.

-Hello.
-Hi.

I saw a dark shadow from afar.

He had a huge build.

He had this macho vibe,

so I got a bit nervous.

Just a bit.

-That must be heavy.
-Yes.

Should we move our bags here?

What's your name?

I'm Wee Jun-seung.

-Jun-seung?
-Yes.

-Man, the two men are very different.
-They're so different.

-One is macho and the other seems soft.
-Yeah.

I'm Wee Jun-seung.

-Jun-seung?
-Yes.

I want to meet someone
with cat-like features.

If I had to be isolated with someone,

I'd like it to be
with someone with cat-like features.

That's it.

This is what I picked up on.

-What is it?
-Hear me out.

-There are three of them, right?
-Yes.

Her ideal type is him, right?

-So Hyun-jin--
-Hyun-jin's

-ideal type is Jun-seung.
-Yes.

-Si-hyun's ideal type is Hyun-jin.
-Yes.

But Jun-seung's ideal type isn't Hyun-jin.

So none of them are
each other's ideal type.

This is going to be fun. Okay.

It'll be like, you'd think
they'd choose each other,

-but they won't. It'll be all tangled.
-Right.

-There will be no match!
-Yeah.

I hope it'll be a triangle
but a messy one.

So no one is mutually attracted
to one another.

-Right.
-Okay.

-Please.
-Okay.

I am Lah…

I'm Lah Hyun-jin.

-Hyun-jin.
-Yes.

He was very different from the other guy,
both looks-wise and vibe-wise.

As I was looking at him,

I noticed the ring.

I'm Wee Jun-seung.

A FAMILIAR RING

I saw it in the photo.

Of the five men, he's the one
I chose as the one closest to my type.

CLOSEST TO HYUN-JIN'S IDEAL TYPE,
JUN-SEUNG

FURTHEST FROM HYUN-JIN'S IDEAL TYPE,
SI-HYUN

"ISOLATED ROMANCE"
EXPERIMENT BEGINS NOW

EXPERIMENT

IF YOU'RE ISOLATED WITH YOUR IDEAL TYPE,
WOULD YOU FALL FOR THEM?

-One woman, two men? Sounds fun.
-Yeah.

I'm so happy.

How happy am I?

Men are competitive, right?

-Yes, that's true.
-So

even if they aren't attracted to her,
they'll want to beat the other guy.

-Yeah, he would.
-He'd want to.

Their competitive spirit
will be triggered as they go.

-Yeah.
-Yes.

-What?
-There are three.

THREE MOBILE PHONES TO BE USED HERE
AND ONE ENVELOPE

There's a letter too.

"Welcome."

Participants of the experiment, welcome.

This is the foot of the hill.

The Isolated House, where you'll be
isolated in for three nights and four days

is located at the top of the uphill road,
on top of the mountain.

You cannot leave the isolation zone
for the three nights and four days.

You cannot reveal
your age, job, or where you live.

Turn in the electronic devices you have

and take the mobile phones
prepared for you.

You will be temporarily cut off
from the real world.

-Shall we get going?
-Okay.

It's steeper than it seems. Be careful.

3 NIGHTS AND 4 DAYS WITH YOUR IDEAL TYPE
ISOLATED ROMANCE

Would you like to walk in the middle?

-Okay.
-Come.

It's a cliff on this side.

Thank you.

The bugs are massive.

-What bug?
-We passed it.

You aren't afraid of bugs?

Are you afraid of bugs?

No, it doesn't affect me at all.

Probably means he's a bit scared.

When the three of us were walking up,

I saw that Jun-seung has tanned skin

and strong features,

and I found it attractive.

It felt like a combination
of the features I look for in a man.

Jun-seung looks more like

the celebrities or men

that I typically like.

We may have to walk up quite a bit.

THEY'RE AT LEAST 25 MINUTES AWAY

Not even cars can go up here.

I don't see the finish line.

We're almost there.
We're really almost there.

Please.

We really are isolated.

Looks like you're enjoying this.

I see it.

-Really?
-Just kidding.

You just saw the road.

SHHH! THIS MESSAGE IS
JUST FOR YOU, HYUN-JIN

PICK THE PERSON YOU'RE ATTRACTED TO
AND HOLD HIS HAND

-Why keep asking them to hold hands?
-Hey.

It should be called,
"Interlocking fingers romance."

Producers.

-Hand-holding sparks romance.
-Seriously.

I bet the final experiment will be

holding hands while watching
five episodes of a dating show.

And then we'll see if they fall in love.

I wonder whose hand she'll hold.

-I'm sure she'll hold Jun-seung's hand.
-Jun-seung?

PICK THE PERSON YOU'RE ATTRACTED TO
AND HOLD HIS HAND

I got a text message.

What? Hold hands?

How can I do that?

We've only just met.
So if I held their hand,

they'd think I'm a weirdo.

They'd think she's a wacko.

Jeez.

BUT SHE GETS READY TO HOLD SOMEONE'S HAND

CLOSEST TO IDEAL TYPE

FURTHEST FROM IDEAL TYPE

Hang in there.

We'll be so hungry for lunch.

I'm going to have an extra helping.

HYUN-JIN BECAME QUIET

THEY'RE ALMOST AT THE TOP

I see it.

I see it.

What?

Wait. Jeez.

It's crazy she can't tell them
it's a mission.

I really got goosebumps.

Jun-seung is just
staring off into the distance.

-He's clueless.
-Hang on.

What's going on?

Of course, I was happy.
I got butterflies too.

We've just met, and she held my hand.

I liked it.

She held my hand for five seconds,

but it felt longer, like a whole minute.

I was fidgeting.

The way I held his hand

was a little silly.

It felt like Si-hyun was
really trying to strike up a conversation.

He tried to break the ice
and get to know each other.

I think I liked that about him.

Choosing him was my way
of thanking him for that.

Yeah, it's those two.
Hyun-jin and Si-hyun.

My mind will never change.
Hyun-jin and Si-hyun for sure.

Well done, everyone.

-Well done.
-Are we there?

-There's a house.
-There's really a house.

It's a real house.

Wow.

WHERE THE MAILBOX WAS

THEY ARRIVED AT THE CABIN
AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

It's called the "Isolated House."

THE WAY TO THE ISOLATED HOUSE

I can't believe there's a place like this.

Wow.

This is going to be fun.

-There's a cafe too.
-Wow.

CAFE

ONE OF THE CABINS IS A CAFE

Wow.

So pretty, right?

-There's a dog.
-A dog!

-Where?
-Over there.

-Wow.
-It's wagging its tail.

How hipster.

THE HIP DOG, BOBBY

Can you even see?

Does it like people?

Should we go this way?

-This way.
-It's this way.

-"Isolated House."
-"Isolated House."

-Watch your step.
-Okay.

-This is cool.
-I'll open the door.

Wow.

Gosh, it's so cozy.

When we opened the door,

I wondered where I'd be sleeping.

THE LIVING ROOM HAS
BARELY ENOUGH ROOM FOR THREE PEOPLE

A VERY SMALL KITCHEN IN ONE CORNER

ONLY SIMPLE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ARE IN PLACE

YOU CAN GO DOWN THE STAIRS

A makeup vanity.

A MODEST VANITY
THAT DOESN'T TAKE UP MUCH SPACE

ONLY THE ESSENTIALS

A bed.

THERE'S EVEN A BED IN THE ROOM

-It's nice and cozy.
-It's nice.

THERE'S ALSO AN OPEN-AIR BALCONY

We're really isolated.

What do we do?

-Why don't we check out the cafe?
-Sounds good.

It's following us around.

It's like an NPC.

Do we get a quest or something?

HEADING TO THE CAFE WITH BOBBY

The flowers are so pretty.

They'll look really pretty in full bloom.

CAFE

Hey, there's brunch prepared for us.

-Enjoy the food.
-Enjoy the food.

THE LAST MEAL PREPARED FOR THEM

Do you like bread?

I can't have enough of it.

"There is
an anonymous self-introduction letter

under the cushion of the chair
you are currently sitting on."

"Pick one at random and take turns
reading the self-introduction."

Under the cushion? Here it is.

Under the cushion? Here it is.

FOUND THREE SELF-INTRODUCTION LETTERS

Which one would you like?

Come here.

CHOOSE RANDOMLY AND READ THEM

Wow. Interesting.

-Should I go first?
-Yes.

"I don't talk much
so I come across as cold at first."

"But when I like someone,

I become very affectionate, like a puppy."

"I'm competitive, so when I like someone,
I just go full steam."

"I'm attracted to
modest and refined vibes."

"I'm also attracted to people
who are cute and affectionate

because I'm very affectionate myself."

"I want a relationship
where we both feel secure

and plan our future together

because I want to
marry someone before I turn 30."

"Who am I?"

ANONYMOUS SUBJECT 1:
PUPPY-LIKE PERSON WHO WANTS TO GET MARRIED

This person came on this show
to get married.

It's a red flag.

"I don't express my feelings much
and am level-headed,

so I'm frequently told that I look cold,

but I'm actually a caring
and compassionate person."

"I want to find someone

with a kind cat-like face and good style."

"When I develop feelings for someone,

I want to make
a bunch of delicious side dishes

and take care of them every day."

-I'll read the last one.
-Okay.

Here I go.

"I like talking about

growth, love, and dreams."

"I enjoyed the movie La La Land

and I love Us and Them so much
that I've watched it over and over again."

I knew it was Hyun-jin's
as soon as I started reading it.

If we did become a match,
I thought we could enjoy the same movies.

"I like someone who has ambitions

and expresses their thoughts
in an interesting way."

I want to meet someone
who really enjoys their job.

I don't think I've met someone
who enjoys their job

like I do.

Someone who likes moving forward.

Like, if I woke up
as that person tomorrow,

it wouldn't devastate me.

That's who I want.

"Who am I?"

ANONYMOUS SUBJECT 3:
LOVES MOVIES AND THEIR CAREER

I see you really enjoyed La La Land.

HYUN-JIN: LOVES MOVIES AND HER CAREER

I see.

Puppy-like, right?

No, I'm the side-dishes person.

-Really?
-Yes.

I would make side dishes

like braised anchovies
or soy sauce-braised quail eggs.

I think I did it hoping
that the person I love

would eat well and enjoy their meals.

My father was the only one
that took care of us,

and when we got up every morning,

he would have rice, side dishes ready,

and would even leave a letter for us
before he went to work.

From those things,

I felt that my father's love
for us was really deep.

The way I show my affection
was influenced by that as well.

I felt like they were
both very gentle and kind.

You're the puppy-like person?

Yes.

-Oh.
-Puppy-like.

SI-HYUN:
PUPPY-LIKE PERSON WHO WANTS TO GET MARRIED

If I can, I'd like to
get married before I turn 30.

I think the best thing about marriage is

that you can share
all the good things in life.

Si-hyun seemed to

really want to get married.

Whoever I date,

I date to marry.

But he was like, "I want to
get married before I turn 30."

I'm 27 years old now, so before 30 is…

Well, I don't know how old he is.

But thinking about
this is ridiculous, right?

I'm thinking that he's going to marry me.

Si-hyun's self-introduction letter said

he is very competitive.

If there is someone he likes,
he would actively pursue them.

If we both like the same person,
he's going to get competitive.

So I'm a little conscious about that.

If the person I like

has a cat-like face,

he may have to compete with me.

What was that from earlier?

What do you mean?

On our way up…

What kind of mission was it?

It's a secret.

Then, I won't press any further.

You can tell me when you want to.

Bon appétit.

-Bon appétit.
-Enjoy.

Do you cook at home?

I usually eat with my coworkers.

So you're an office worker.

I could be a newscaster.

So you're not a newscaster.

I really have no clue.

Thank you for the food.

-Thank you for dinner.
-Thank you for dinner.

You know what's so nice?

There wasn't even a cutaway shot
of the dinner they made.

Other dating shows waste
so much time on that shot.

How daring!

We just skip that.

-What did they eat?
-I have no idea.

We'll leave it
to the viewers' imagination.

SI-HYUN RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE

THE WOMAN WHO PICKED YOU AS HER IDEAL TYPE
IS AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN

SNEAK OUT AND GO PICK HER UP

Oh, let me

-step out for a bit.
-Okay.

They told me to leave secretly

and go down the mountain,

and she'll be waiting for me there.

That's what the text message said.

What?

This is getting interesting.

-Hang on.
-Yes?

-So this is how it pans out.
-It wasn't three?

They lied to us.

What? Oh.

To keep it fun.

What animal was at that cabin?

-A dog.
-And?

A cat.

Two puppy-like people
and two cat-like people.

One cat-like woman
and one puppy-like woman.

One cat-like man
and one puppy-like man. Four in total.

I got goosebumps on my sideburns.

THE PERSON WHO CHOSE
SI-HYUN AS HER IDEAL TYPE

SUBJECT 4 HAS ARRIVED
AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN

Job and…

Look at her fingernails.
She's definitely cat-like.

Can you really tell she's cat-like

-by looking at her nails?
-Puppy-like women don't do that.

It's just fingernails.
How can you tell just by looking at them?

She's definitely cat-like.

-Let's keep watching.
-Okay.

Job and…

Do I put it in here?

-Look at her phone case. It's cat-like.
-It's a cat.

I wondered why she chose me.

Where did he go?

Well, looks like he's going to be a while.

I hurried down to pick her up

since she'd been waiting.

-Oh, yes!
-Wait.

-She's cat-like, which Jun-seung likes.
-Right.

Honestly, looks-wise,
she's a good match with Jun-seung.

-They're a good match.
-Yes, they already are.

Even just on the surface,

-Hyun-jin and Si-hyun are a good match
-Yeah.

and Jun-seung and the new lady are

-a good match.
-But having

similar vibes doesn't mean

-they'll date.
-True.

-Opposites attract sometimes.
-Definitely.

Let's see if they'll pick
the opposite or alike.

-That will be key here.
-How fun.

Falling in love and things like that

seem very experimental to me.

I think if someone is my type

and also happens to be a kind person,

I'd get into a relationship
with them pretty quickly.

WE DID A SURVEY ON SUBJECT 4'S IDEAL TYPE
ONE WEEK AGO

When I dated someone who really liked me,

I honestly didn't really have fun.

But if I'm seeing someone I really like,

my heart aches.

It aches, but I'm drawn to them.

I think they stay in my memories more too,

in hindsight.

I like someone
who's like the edge of tofu.

What I mean by that is

they're soft like tofu,

but not silky-soft

and have somewhat bold features.

Like the edge of tofu.
That's the vibe I'm into.

I like someone who looks soft
but has sharp features.

What on earth is an edge-of-tofu face?

They have a defined nose and sharp jawline
but look soft like tofu.

That's what an edge-of-tofu face is.

-Do you get it?
-Not at all.

-Then, just watch.
-Okay.

My ideal personality type is
someone who isn't sensitive

and is easygoing.
I like someone like that.

WE SHOWED TWO PHOTOS TO SUBJECT 4

SI-HYUN, JUN-SEUNG

DOES ONE OF THESE TWO FIT YOUR IDEAL TYPE?

Yes.

Him.

SHE CHOSE SI-HYUN AS HER IDEAL TYPE

Him.

You can't help but smile, can you?

He's pretty close.

He gives off that big doggo energy.

He looks like he could be
more playful than you'd think.

Where did you find a guy like this?

I'm getting excited all of a sudden.

HER ONCE-IN-A-MILLENNIUM IDEAL TYPE
IS WALKING TOWARD HER

As soon as I saw him,

I knew it was him.

I couldn't believe he came to pick me up.

Did he have the edge-of-tofu face?

Yes, he did.

-You must have traveled far.
-Thanks for coming.

-Isn't it heavy?
-Oh, thanks.

-It's very heavy.
-We have to

go uphill for quite a while.

-Will you be okay with your bag?
-Yes, I'm okay.

I'll carry it for you.

What's your name?

-I'm Byeon Ji-young.
-Ji-young, I see.

I'm Si-hyun.

-Ahn Si-hyun.
-Ahn Si-hyun?

What's in this?

-I got some meat and…
-Meat?

-And ingredients for doenjang stew.
-Okay.

We ate without any meat.

Really?

I'm so nervous.

So nervous.

Hold on. Oh my.

She's got good style.

-Yeah, she's got style.
-Why'd she wrap the cardigan around?

-Exactly.
-Her style is insane.

Jun-seung said he likes
a kind cat-like person who is fashionable.

Jun-seung's going to
fall hard for Ji-young.

Get all entangled!

-Get all entangled!
-Get all entangled!

We're totally isolated up there.

Really?

We have to chop wood and everything.

Your outfit does fit
wood-chopping, I guess.

You'll find out when you get there.

It's not like I go up there

only to find out nobody's there, is it?

He looked exactly the same as his photo.

He had bold facial features,

and he had very fair skin.

It could have been awkward,

but he broke the ice very well.

-I think you'll adapt in no time.
-Really?

I'd like to ask her why she chose me

when I get a chance.

She was stylish

and very unique.

Maybe Jun-seung's type.

He wrote that he likes cat-like features.

"I want to find someone

with a kind cat-like face and good style."

We're here.

Who's that?

Someone's here?

I guess he went to pick her up?

I suppose so.

Si-hyun left
after getting a text message,

so I knew something was up.

So I knew he went to pick her up.

-Let's go.
-She's here.

Wow.

Hello.

It's a kind dog.

Hi.

I said in my interview
and self-introduction letter

that I like someone
with a kind cat-like face

and good style.

And she was exactly that.

Wow.

She's new.

A new addition.

Have you eaten yet?

No.

She has a kind cat-like face.

She's my type.

How can this be?

-Their ideal types are all tangled.
-Exactly.

Ji-young is interested in Si-hyun,

but Jun-seung is interested in Ji-young.

So he may have to compete with Si-hyun.

Meanwhile, Hyun-jin may think,
"What about me?"

I'm eating up this love square.

-Would you like to come in?
-Sure.

Are you hungry?

I'm a bit hungry.

Wow!

She got groceries.

-Wow.
-I'm so touched.

I bought some meat.

Awesome.

-I love it.
-We haven't had any.

She has to eat. So let me grill the meat.

No, something simple is fine.

-There's a lot in there.
-Wow.

There are exactly four.

That's it.

There are drinks and snacks.

We actually had doenjang stew earlier.

Really?

-Tomorrow?
-Doenjang stew and…

I didn't know how to act at first.

The others probably didn't notice,

but I didn't know how to act.

-Women stay on the first floor.
-Really?

Men are on the second floor.

Okay.

I'll make it for you.

-Should I go downstairs?
-Yeah.

-Yes.
-Go downstairs.

This is awesome.

You brought her up out of the blue.

I was surprised myself too.

-Did you go out after getting a text?
-Pardon?

Yes.

You were away for a while.

FOR JI-YOUNG WHO ARRIVED LATE

THEY PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS
FOR DOENJANG STEW

Should I add some meat?

There's a lot, so shall we?

I brought a lot.

Should we do a barbecue? Do you drink?

Yes.

-Why don't we have some grilled meat
-Later?

-with some drinks later?
-Sounds good.

Can you handle your alcohol?

-I do like going out for drinks.
-Okay.

That's Haha?

Yes,

we named it that.

Did you tell her your name?

-May I ask your name?
-I'm Wee Jun-seung.

-Jun-seung?
-Jun-seung.

Jun-seung,

should I set the table?

No, please just have a seat.

I can't just sit there.

Everyone is working so hard.

We have water, don't we?

Yes, we do.

I kept my sentences brief.

I said things like, "Do that."

I kept the conversation short.

Do we have another chair?

-Is that one okay?
-Isn't it

-too small? Should I sit there?
-No.

But…

It's so comfy.

THE MOST COMFORTABLE TINY CHAIR

Should I try which
self-introduction letter belongs to whom?

Did you read those?

Go ahead and read
the self-introduction letters.

This is so hard.

JUN-SEUNG TOLD JI-YOUNG
TO READ THE SELF-INTRODUCTIONS

In his self-introduction letter,

Jun-seung said he liked cat-like faces.

But I'm not a cat.

I thought, "A cat just arrived."

So did all of you walk up here like me?

Yes.

Did you come here alone?

-No, with him.
-Oh, right.

-He went all the way down.
-Yes, I came up here

-with Si-hyun.
-But I wondered

why it was Si-hyun
that went to pick her up.

Did Ji-young pick him to come?

I don't want a situation
that'd make me nervous.

If we like the same guy,

I think I'll lose motivation.

Hyun-jin seems more attracted
to Si-hyun at the moment.

But with the arrival of Ji-young,

-Hyun-jin got a bit competitive
-Yeah.

-over Si-hyun.
-Yeah.

It's so entertaining.

It looks good.

Give it a taste.

Amazing.

I've never grilled meat
with charcoal like this.

It's outstanding.

It's awesome.

THEIR IDEAL TYPES ARE MISMATCHED

Should we start eating?

Thank you.

THE FOUR SUBJECTS HAVE GATHERED

I like that it's minimal.

Since there are only four,

-we can just focus on them.
-Yeah.

Even on other dating shows,
only about four people get the spotlight.

You know,

-we've skipped to the good part.
-Exactly.

-This is perfect.
-It's perfect.

What are your MBTIs?

-Should we guess?
-Yes.

-You're an introvert.
-Yes, I'm an introvert.

I get both ISFP and ISTP.

I actually found out Si-hyun's earlier.

He's an ISFP.

-Same as you.
-Yes, the same.

Keep going.

Yes, sir.

Are you an extrovert, Hyun-jin?

I am an INTJ.

Really?

And Jun-seung…

Are you an INTP?

I'm an ISTP.

You all share some letters with mine.

-That's right.
-Yeah.

Hyun-jin, yours was La La Land, right?

-That's right.
-Right?

This is

too hard.

-Then,
-Yes?

tell us who you like more

just based
on the self-introduction letters.

Shouldn't we do that
after we've had some alcohol?

Should we have a drink?

I'm having so much fun.

This is too much pressure.

Hang on.

Actually, Jun-seung and Si-hyun's

JUN-SEUNG'S SELF-INTRODUCTION

seemed kind of similar.

SI-HYUN'S SELF-INTRODUCTION

I thought it over a lot.

I like…

this one. "A kind cat-like face
and good style."

It's kind of similar to who I am.

Whose do you think it is?

Is it too much pressure?

This is fun.

Why are you doing this to me?

This is fun.

I think…

-Am I right?
-Yes.

Oh, right.

-I thought it was you. I got a feeling.
-Yeah.

He was in comfortable clothes,

but I could still tell that he's stylish.

After I found out about his ideal type,

I started noticing him.

I was happy that she picked mine.

I'll read mine.

"I may look a bit cold at first,

but you'll find that I'm surprisingly
warm-hearted and gentle."

"I'm attracted to people who are easygoing
and have a good sense of humor."

I'm pretty easygoing too,
and my mindset in life is,

"It'll all work out in the end."

So when she said "easygoing,"
that really stuck with me.

"If you buy me the snack I like,

you may get to see me dance
as a way of showing my thanks."

She was different from what I expected,

so that left an impression.

You must be a good dancer.

Well, I like dancing.

Were you nervous on your way here?

I was worried but also excited.

What are your hobbies?

Have you all shared yours?

May I hear yours first?

I enjoy watching movies and TV shows.

I like listening to music

-Listening to music?
-and playing the guitar.

-Oh, the guitar?
-Yes.

I like going to cafes.

And I like going
to art galleries and exhibitions.

So we said he's the "it guy."

I like

to get pork belly or hoe

at like a no-frills place.
You get it, right?

Like a no-frills bar type of place.

That's insane.

I don't like fancy pork belly places

but neighborhood ones.

-They have barrels and stuff, right?
-Yeah.

I like those no-frills places

where they fry the pork belly on frypans.

With the arrival of Ji-young,

it really hit me
that we're on a dating show.

Things like gimbap, pork cutlet,
and spicy cold noodles.

I love pork cutlet so much that I worked
at a cutlet restaurant before.

Jun-seung seems to--

He really likes her.

-He's really trying hard.
-Yeah.

He worked part-time
at a pork cutlet place.

This is so fun.

I love pork cutlet so much that I worked
at a cutlet restaurant before.

-Really?
-Yeah.

My parents have run
a pork cutlet restaurant before.

-Really?
-Because they like it so much.

I liked to eat pork cutlets
with cold buckwheat noodles.

I loved it so much
that I worked at a restaurant too.

Same.

I see.

When you think of a cat-like face,

you'd think they have
their nose up in the air.

But she was so bubbly

that she left
a great first impression on me.

-Shall we go inside and drink?
-Sure.

Yes, let's do that.

-Did it come out okay?
-It did.

One, two, three.

You look like Seo In-guk.

-I've heard that before.
-Oh, yeah.

-A little bit.
-Oh, for real.

Hyun-jin is no ordinary too.

Why?

She kept going on about Seo In-guk,

-so they found someone like him.
-He's there.

You're right.

-She doesn't even give him any attention!
-That's right.

The producers went to great lengths!

-That's right.
-Unbelievable.

I'm curious about
everyone's ideal personality type.

Then why don't you share first?

I like someone who has a puppy face.

I also like the edge-of-tofu face.

-What is that?
-What does that mean?

-Interesting.
-It's kind of like

there are people with a tofu-look
and those with strong features.

It's somewhere between that.

-You're so greedy.
-No.

It's the opposite.

-You want a tofu-like face
-It's a compromise.

but also strong features.

It's kind of like…

Ji-young's ideal type was interesting.

She had a very set type.

The edge of tofu?

I've never heard that term before.

What I'm sure about is
that an edge-of-tofu face is not my type.

I didn't expect that at all.

Her ideal type is an edge-of-tofu face?

What does that even mean?

If I were to compare Jun-seung and I,

I think we both have strong features,

but my face is a bit more "tofu."

I like someone who has a clean vibe.

Someone who washes well?

That's not what I meant.

Someone who doesn't smell.

I don't care if they look
like a puppy or a cat,

but I like soft-looking women.

That's probably not me.

Hyun-jin and I look totally different.

My impression of Hyun-jin

was close to the ideal type that Si-hyun
described in his self-introduction letter.

-So I'm having trouble remembering.
-Yes?

You showed me five photos, right?

I know that I chose
Jun-seung as my top pick.

But was Si-hyun the one I chose
for fifth place?

Right?

-The one with earphones.
-Yes.

-Right?
-Yes.

I realized that at night.

The fact that the guy
with the ring was here

meant that this person with fair skin

must have been one of the five men.

I realized, "So that was him."

Jun-seung was my top pick
and Si-hyun was my fifth choice.

I wonder what the others' choices were.

How did they rank me?

So to the other person…

EVERYONE RECEIVED A TEXT

I'm scared.

WHO WILL YOU EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS TO?
THE HEART CHIP VOTE STARTS NOW

"The Heart Chip vote starts now."

So it begins.

I remembered that I came here
to find a girlfriend and fall in love.

When night falls at the Isolated House,

the Heart Chip voting area
will open at the cafe,

where the subjects will express
how they feel using the Heart Chips.

Each person is given 200 Heart Chips,

which they can use
for three nights and four days.

The color of each person's Heart Chips
will remain a secret.

Among the boxes
of the two people of the opposite sex,

put Heart Chips into one of them
according to how strong your feelings are.

But if you don't have
any feelings for them,

you don't have to put any in it.

SI-HYUN, GO TO THE VOTING AREA TO VOTE

DAY ONE
HEART CHIP VOTE BEGINS

So there's a new rule.

What could it be?

I was a bit nervous.

AHN SI-HYUN
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA

There were two boxes…

and blue Heart Chips.

And there were instructions
in front of the boxes.

If you use up all your Heart Chips,
you must profess your feelings.

If they use all 200 up,
they have to profess their feelings.

I love that.

Jun-seung might use all 200 chips
on Ji-young right away.

I have to "split" my feelings

and put them in the boxes.
I found that interesting.

It shows what percentage
my feelings are at for this person

in a very clear, straightforward manner.

EVERY NIGHT, THE SUBJECTS WILL USE
THE HEART CHIPS TO EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS

EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS
WITH THE MESSAGE CARD

SI-HYUN IS CONTEMPLATING

I thought a lot about
whether I should choose or not

since opting out was an option too.

But I decided to do it.

I kept it short.

"Thanks for making the long trip

and let's have fun tomorrow

feeling nice and refreshed."

That's what I wrote.

LET'S HAVE FUN TOMORROW

You're so cute.

AHN SI-HYUN COMPLETED VOTING
FIVE HEART CHIPS TO WHOM?

Do you go for someone you like

or someone that likes you?

Someone I like.

It used to be the opposite.

-Really?
-But it changed.

I haven't dated anyone since it changed.

Really?

Since you wanted to find someone you like?

I've never approached someone first

-or flirted with someone first.
-Really?

WEE JUN-SEUNG
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA

I've never really flirted with someone
I met for the first time.

I've never expressed how I felt to anyone,

so I was relieved that I could

use the chips to express my feelings
rather than face to face.

I LOVE YOUR STYLE

I didn't hesitate for even a moment.

I was set on Ji-young.

I was wondering how many I should use.

I started counting, "One, two… Ten."

Then I thought, "Why bother counting?"

I just grabbed a handful

and put them in.

WEE JUN-SEUNG COMPLETED VOTING
HOW MANY HEART CHIPS TO JI-YOUNG?

How adorable.

-So they don't know each other's color?
-His is red.

Ji-young could think

-those red chips are Si-hyun's.
-Of course.

Gosh, this is insane.

Let's see.

LAH HYUN-JIN
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA

I know who I'm voting for.

The question is how many.

SHE PUT HEART CHIPS
INTO SI-HYUN'S BOX

The way I talked in the card

is just like how I normally talk.

THE MEAT WAS DELICIOUS

"The meat was delicious"?

So, Hyun-jin

may look like a puppy,
but her personality isn't like a puppy.

She looks like she'd talk all cutesy too,
but she just went,

"The meat was delicious."

What's that?

Usually, on dating shows, they'd write,

"The meat was so good today"
and add some emojis to be cute.

But she put, "The meat was delicious."
Just a period at the end.

He worked so hard today.

All you do is work here.

-Gosh.
-I'm trying to start the fire.

I think I did an awesome job.

Good job.

Aren't your eyes burning?

LAH HYUN-JIN COMPLETED VOTING
TWO HEART CHIPS TO SI-HYUN

I love curry.

I love it too.

Do you like Japanese or Indian curry?

-Or Thai curry?
-I like Otoki curry.

-Otoki.
-Otoki.

-Slightly spicy.
-Their instant curry?

Me too. Slightly spicy.

That's the only kind I have.

I brought some.

-You brought some?
-Yes.

-He'll make some for us.
-I brought some.

They have similar tastes.

Ji-young and Jun-seung

have similar tastes.

What about Thai crab curry?

-I only like Otoki.
-Really? Gosh.

He rejected Thai crab curry.

I only eat the slightly spicy one.

-I like spicy food.
-I see.

He likes curry

and pork cutlet.

And even fashion.

We had a lot of similarities.

I could imagine going on a date with him.

I could see the whole route.

BYEON JI-YOUNG
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA

I had a hard time
deciding the number of chips.

Two hundred chips.

But we only have
three nights and four days.

I wasn't sure how to split the chips.

Looks-wise, I'm attracted to Si-hyun.

But I think I would get along well
with Jun-seung.

I think she'll put them
in Jun-seung's box.

For the three nights and four days,

you have to go for the person
you feel sure about.

Should she pick Jun-seung
whom she has a lot in common with,

or the once-in-a-millennium ideal type,

Si-hyun?

I felt like I didn't get
a chance to chat with him much.

I wrote,
"I'd like to get to know you more."

I'D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOU MORE

WHO DOES JI-YOUNG
WANT TO GET TO KNOW MORE?

BYEON JI-YOUNG COMPLETED VOTING
HOW MANY HEART CHIPS TO WHOM?

Everyone has completed voting.

Go to the voting area

and check your boxes now.

AHN SI-HYUN CHECKS THE RESULT

THERE IS A MIX OF
TWO DIFFERENT COLORS OF HEART CHIPS

TEN PINK CHIPS, TWO YELLOW CHIPS

There were ten pink hearts
and two yellow hearts.

I thought Ji-young
would give her chips to Jun-seung.

After reading the self-introductions,

she chose his.

So I thought I'd only have one color.

But there were two. So I went,

"Hey, what's going on?"

"The meat was delicious."

She went informal on me all of a sudden.

I immediately knew it was Hyun-jin.

"I'd like to get to know you more."

Given the message,
I doubt she put in ten chips.

Maybe she put in two chips cautiously?

The one who wrote with a bold tone,
"The meat was delicious."

I think she put in ten chips.

HYUN-JIN, TWO HEART CHIPS

JI-YOUNG, TEN HEART CHIPS

HYUN-JIN, TWO HEART CHIPS
JI-YOUNG, TEN HEART CHIPS

He got it all wrong.

-He got the colors wrong.
-Yeah.

This is what could happen.

Yeah, how interesting.

-It's getting all complicated.
-How fun.

Actually, I wanted to
get to know both of them,

but I wanted to put them
in Si-hyun's box more

as he is closer to my ideal type.

The first person I met was Si-hyun.

The person

that I've been envisioning

exists.

SHE PUT TEN HEART CHIPS IN
AS SHE WANTS TO GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER

I know who I prefer,

but my feelings aren't that strong.

THE BOX HAS TWO PEOPLE'S FEELINGS MIXED UP

What do you see?

Isn't this fun?

It is.

JI-YOUNG, GO TO THE VOTING AREA
AND CHECK YOUR BOX

Since I put my Heart Chips
in Si-hyun's box,

I hoped that he would

have put his Heart Chips in mine…

BYEON JI-YOUNG CHECKS THE RESULT

…as I opened my box.

JUN-SEUNG, 29 HEART CHIPS

I LOVE YOUR STYLE

There were quite a lot of Heart Chips.

And I saw a note.

As soon as I read it,

I could tell who it was from.

Maybe about 30 chips?

I didn't count them.

I didn't want to overwhelm her
by putting in too many.

I was so thankful to Jun-seung

for putting his Heart Chips in mine.

It did make me feel good,

but on the other hand, I was a bit sad

that Si-hyun didn't put any in mine.

I think he put his in Hyun-jin's box.

LAH HYUN-JIN CHECKS THE RESULT

FIVE HEART CHIPS

THANKS FOR MAKING THE LONG TRIP
LET'S HAVE FUN TOMORROW

WHOSE DO YOU THINK
THE BLUE HEART CHIPS ARE?

Si-hyun's.

We asked each other questions.

SI-HYUN PICKED A QUESTION CARD

HE HANDED IT TO HYUN-JIN

"If you could go on a trip with me now,
where would you like to go?"

If we were to go on a trip?

Gangneung.

So you like the beach.
Any beach in particular?

-None?
-Do you?

I like Gangneung.

What is the beach like in Gangneung?

First of all, Gangneung is…

The beach.

I thought he must've given
the question card

to the person he's more interested in.

He gave it to me, so I thought,
"He must like me."

I gave Hyun-jin five Heart Chips.

She kept helping me out by my side

and the fact that she held my hand
on our way up played a huge part.

I put in five chips for now.

Then, if my feelings grow,

I can put 100 chips
or even all of them in.

Yes?

JUN-SEUNG, GO TO THE VOTING AREA
AND CHECK YOUR BOX

WEE JUN-SEUNG CHECKS THE RESULT

There was nothing.

I thought, "It's the first time.
It can happen."

It has only been a few hours
since we met.

They don't know what I'm like.

I wanted to

chat with Ji-young.

Everyone has checked their box.

It must be that thing. A letter.

A LETTER HAS ARRIVED

"The Attic House is open."

"The person that used
the most Heart Chips,

Wee Jun-seung,

can designate

either Lah Hyun-jin or Byeon Ji-young
to be his roommate at the Attic House

and head over there together."

"Roommate"?

-"Roommate"?
-What?

Hang on.

-A roommate?
-Yeah.

This really is a love "lab."

ISOLATED HOUSE

ATTIC HOUSE

THE ATTIC HOUSE
BY THE ISOLATED HOUSE HAS OPENED

ATTIC HOUSE

This isn't Blind Date in a Bed
all over again, is it?

I think it is.

What?

It is a Blind Date in a Bed.

What's going on?

-It is.
-For real?

I'm sure about who I like now.

I think I'll put 120 chips in now.

My guy is Si-hyun.

She's a scary lady.

I made up my mind.

I'm going to start flirting.

I'm attracted.

A manly man.

"You'll get a special date."

I will win and get the date pass.

I'm in trouble.

I'm curious about Si-hyun too.

I was very flustered when I heard that.

I felt like
I was the only one with a crush.

I felt a bit disappointed.
