THE LOVE LAB

Two kinds of love experiments
will be conducted today.

The first one is

Drunk Blind Date.

And…

You've been invited
to the King of Hearts game.

-I'm scared.
-What's that?

It'll give me a dopamine rush.

Want to go on a date with me tomorrow?

It's entirely up to the king.

I'll let you go on a date
if I become king.

I suddenly want to overturn it.

It's the King of Hearts game.

KING OF HEARTS GAME

The third Love Lab experiment is

Drunk Blind Date.

What if someone went on a blind date…

-Shall we clink our glasses?
-…with a blood alcohol level of 0.08%?

Melting away the looks, backgrounds,
and circumstances in alcohol,

the man and woman must face each other
only in their drunk state.

Will the alcohol help with their romance

or will it become a hindrance?

DRUNK BLIND DATE

Of course, it'll help.

If I enjoyed drinking,
I wouldn't be single.

This sounds so interesting though.

How drunk are you if it's 0.08%?

-You wouldn't really call that "drunk."
-Just a bit buzzed?

Not even buzzed.

Your driver's license can get canceled.

Then, they're completely drunk.

-Really?
-On a date while intoxicated?

SUBJECT 1
KANG JUNG-WOO

You prefer someone
who has cat-like features?

Yes.

I like someone who's tall
and has long hair.

And someone who is honest.

SUBJECT 2
HA SEUNG-AH

Weren't you surprised?

Yeah, I really thought it was a scam.

-Really?
-It's happened before.

-You do have to be careful.
-For real.

Your MBTI is ISTJ.

Yes, that's right.

Dating must be tough for you.

I'm attracted to someone who's tall,
has a good physique,

and a not overly-pretty face.

You like someone like Ahn Bo-hyun,
so a boy-next-door type?

Yes, I like that.

Yes, I think alcohol would help
with breaking the ice at first.

It would also help
when having deep conversations.

THE EXPERIMENT TOPIC
HAS BEEN INFORMED TO SUBJECT 1

You start the date off drunk.

Oh.

You'll drink with us
before you go on the date.

I like that.

I think I can meet her
in a more relaxed state.

SUBJECT 2 HAS BEEN
OFFERED THE DRUNK BLIND DATE TOO

That sounds nice.

Do you think alcohol helps
when it comes to romance?

Yes, I think it helps.

It's so awkward when you meet at first.

I think it'd be better
to go on a blind date

after having a few drinks.

It sounds fun.

THE FIRST DATE

Cheers.

Thank you.

SUBJECTS 1 AND 2 ARE GETTING DRUNK
BEFORE THE BLIND DATE

So that's how they do it.

-They go for a drink with the crew first.
-Yeah.

Then, go on the blind date drunk.

Wow.

Wait, so how do you know
if they are drunk?

You need to reach a certain
blood alcohol level before you can start.

Our goal is 0.08%.

You can only start
when you reach that level.

Really?

I should drink a lot then.

We'll let you start
as soon as you get drunk.

THEY MUST GET DRUNK
TO GO ON THE BLIND DATE

Did I make it?

I got 0.03%.

SHE STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO

-He got it.
-Did he?

LACKING 0.01

-What is it?
-0.07.

JUNG-WOO CAN'T WAIT
TO GO ON THE BLIND DATE

QUALIFIED TO GO ON THE BLIND DATE

-Do I go now? Okay.
-Yes.

I got 0.04%. It went up 0.01.

DRUNK BLIND DATE GUIDE
ASK ANY QUESTIONS EXCEPT FOR JOB AND AGE

THE DATE BEGINS
AS SOON AS YOU CLINK GLASSES

Except for job and age.

Except for job and age.

MEANWHILE, SEUNG-AH IS…

They go like, "I'm sleepy."

You should just plainly say
that you're sleepy instead.

But they go, "I'm sleepy."

-What is it?
-It says I can go now.

SHE CAN FINALLY GO ON HER BLIND DATE

I'm nervous.

I'm really getting nervous.

Hello.

Hello.

Oh, my. They're into each other already.

Come on. I have no doubt
that they'll end up together.

-They're done.
-It already worked out.

They look so good together.
I can picture them dating.

Go ahead and stuff your face.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

May I ask your name?

I'm Kang Jung-woo.

-Kang Jung-woo?
-Yes.

And you?

I'm Ha Seung-ah.

-Ha Seung-ah?
-Yes.

Okay. Ha Seung-ah.

Nice to meet you.

FIRST DRUNK BLIND DATE

2 HOURS LATER,
WE CONDUCTED AN INTERVIEW

How are you doing right now?

I'm too drunk.

ALL INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WHILE DRUNK

Did you see Seung-ah's face
when she walked in?

-Yes.
-What did you think?

I thought she was pretty
because she had the cat-like look I like.

CHUCKLE

You thought she was pretty
as soon as you saw her?

Yes.

WOBBLE

Should I have you sit down?

WE HAD HIM SIT DOWN

The doggy…

ANOTHER DRUNK PERSON

My first impression?

He came across
as a really hardworking young man.

In a good way.

He looked handsome.

-Shall we clink our glasses?
-Yes.

Nice to meet you.

I prepared hangover supplements.

-Really?
-Yes.

Are you a mint chocolate lover?

I have mint chocolate
and regular chocolate.

I'll take regular chocolate.

-Chocolate?
-Yes.

I do like mint chocolate,

but I'm craving something sweet right now.

Isn't it good?

Very chocolatey.

Do you like sundae gukbap?

Yes, I do. It's surprisingly fancy
for a sundae gukbap place.

-Right?
-I didn't know they served this here.

It's tasty.

-Is the seasoning okay?
-Yes, it's very good.

Shall we clink our glasses?

If you don't mind me asking,
where are you from?

Where do you think I'm from?

You have a very familiar intonation.

-You aren't from Seoul, are you?
-No.

-I'm from Gyeongsang-do.
-Really?

You're from Gyeongsang-do too.

-Where in Gyeongsang-do are you from?
-I'm from Daegu.

-Daegu?
-Yes.

-Are you from Daegu?
-I'm from Gimhae.

-You know Gimhae, right?
-Gimhae? Of course.

-How long have you been in Seoul?
-Me?

I've been here a long time.

Five or six years?

You can't tell, right?

Because we're from the same area…

You could tell immediately.

I wouldn't be able to tell
if we weren't from the same area.

-But because we are…
-Right?

-You can't tell if you aren't.
-Right.

Do you like gukbap?

It must be hot.

Gukbap is

my soul food.

-Really?
-Yes.

I see.

-If you're from Gyeongsang-do…
-Yes?

-Pork gukbap?
-Pork gukbap.

-Right?
-I love pork gukbap.

I really love pork gukbap.

-Really?
-Yes.

I don't like it that much.

How did you get rid of your dialect?

IT'S TOO HOT AGAIN

-Cool it off first.
-I should turn the burner off.

What kind of food do you like?

Do you like old-school restaurants?

-I do.
-Really?

-Yeah.
-I love places like that.

Those old and shabby…

You should slow down.

THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST

He enjoyed the gukbap
way more than I expected.

It was hot,

but he ate it going like this.

He went like this but kept eating it.

It's hot.

I think you burnt your throat.

It won't cool down.

Did you really turn it off?

-I did.
-You should turn it off.

It's so hot.

You're such a prince.

Sorry. What did you say you like?

Old-school, dirty places.

Old-school, dirty places?

Kind of…

You know those places
that are shabby and dirty.

You know what kind of vibe
I'm talking about, right?

What's your MBTI?

-Can I guess?
-Okay.

INTP.

You got it right except for one.

-Really?
-Yes.

You must be INTJ.

You got the first part wrong.

ENTP?

That's right.

-Really?
-Yes.

Honestly, when I found out he was ENTP,

I became a little hesitant.

I think ENTPs tend to be

a little bit emotional.

I'm sure some aren't though.

So I was a little taken aback by that.

-I'll try to guess yours too.
-Go ahead.

ISTP.

Why did you think that?

I went with "I" because you seem quiet,

and a lot of people
from Gyeongsang-do are Ts.

That's how I got IST.

I'm ISTJ.

-ISTJ?
-But I'm almost 50-50 between J and P.

Two Ts met. That's nice.

Want to know something awesome?

-Yeah?
-They only share the T.

You're right. Does this have
some kind of formula?

Not really.

I'm ISTJ.

-ISTJ?
-But I'm almost 50-50 between J and P.

It was the first time in my life
meeting a person who is ISTP.

The usual steps for turning a blind date

into something more

didn't work on that person.

It didn't work.

Yeah, ISTPs are the hardest
at starting to date.

When you like someone,
you contact regularly

and make plans for next time.

Those are normal, right?

But I couldn't get a hold of her.

She left my messages unread
for two days, twice.

Then, she canceled our next plans.

When she said, "See you next time,"

I said, "Okay, take care."

It was my way of saying goodbye,

but she replied and said,
"Why did you tell me to 'take care'?"

I realized that I could never
really understand her,

so I called it quits.

-Seung-ah is ISTJ.
-Yes.

What do you think she'll be like?

The important thing is that she is IST.

I thought that I'd have to
make a real effort.

I guess I could use what I studied.

After learning more about people like her,

I realized they might express themselves
differently than I thought.

At first, because we think so differently,

I thought she wasn't interested in me.

But after learning more about them,

I realized this might just be
how ISTs express their feelings.

They're hard to figure out,
confusing, and ambiguous.

How did you study about them?

On YouTube.

Did you know that contents related to ISTs
get the most views on YouTube?

ISTP?

-You see? YouTube…
-He watched a lot.

-He watched a lot.
-Yeah, he did.

Yes, one person.

ONLY JUNG-WOO RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE

ARE YOU INTERESTED
IN THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU?

IF YOU ARE, POUR A DRINK IN HER GLASS
BASED ON HOW MUCH YOU LIKE HER

Let me pour you a drink.

ENTP.

What is your take on that?

HE POURED ONE FOR HIMSELF?

-ENTP?
-Yes.

I think I read it as

"If you don't like her,
pour a glass for yourself.

If you like her, pour a glass for her."

We told you to pour her a glass
based on how much you like her.

I didn't catch the latter part
because I was drunk.

How much would you pour
if you did it again?

I'd fill the soju glass to 90%.

We only just met.

I guess this may be the power of alcohol.

May I ask what your ideal type is?

-My ideal type?
-Yes.

I like someone who isn't overly pretty

and I'd like him to be tall.

I think it'd be nice
if he's 10 cm taller than me.

Are you 168 cm?

-Wow.
-Am I right?

I'm 169 cm.

Oh.

If you add 10 cm to 169…

Okay.

-How tall are you?
-I'm right at 180 cm.

-Really?
-Yes, I'm 180 cm on the dot.

I pass.

What's your ideal type?

I like someone
who's bright and responsive.

Yeah.

What about appearance-wise?

I like someone who's tall
and has long hair.

Yeah.

That sounds like me.

"That sounds like me."

It's you.

-That's right.
-That's right.

That's right.

-Yes.
-I'm just kidding.

No, you're really right.

Who's your favorite celebrity?

Sana?

She has cat-like features, right?

Yeah, she does.

You have cat-like features too.

-I do?
-Yes.

-Really?
-Yes.

I never thought I had cat-like features,

but he said I had them.

Well…

I guess I'm his ideal type?

What have people said about your looks?

Me? That I have a Jindo dog face.

-A dog?
-Yes.

People say I look like a Jindo dog
or white rice.

I've heard that often.

-This white rice?
-Yes.

They say I look like white rice.

-Who told you that?
-A friend.

-You have cat-like features. Definitely.
-Really?

She has cat-like features
with a cold vibe.

That was very attractive.

I could even have a crush on her.

That's how I felt.

Women who are cold but pretty
make me nervous.

What is your all-time favorite movie?

-All-time favorite movie?
-Yes.

There was one that I saw recently.
I can't remember it all of a sudden.

What's it about?

It's a foreign film,

and it's about understanding
and love within a family.

Does it involve traveling through space?

No, it doesn't go into space, but…

Everything Everywhere All at Once?

-Did I get it right?
-Yes, you did.

-Hey.
-Wow.

That's my…

-That's my all-time favorite movie.
-For real?

No way.

-Seriously. Yes.
-Really?

-It's Everything Everywhere All at Once?
-Yes, that's it.

That's crazy.

Whenever I think of
my all-time favorite movie,

I think of that one.

The fact that she said that too…

It was very surprising.

Not everyone likes that movie.

So when he said it was
his all-time favorite movie,

I liked that about him.

-I really like it.
-That really gave me goose bumps.

Wow, we need to drink to that.

That's so amazing.

I've never seen that movie.

Having the same
all-time favorite movie is huge.

-Yeah.
-It's really appealing.

When you realize

you have similar interests
and you have good banter while drinking,

that would make you
fall for them even more.

You said you never
heard of that movie, right?

-Never.
-They'll read into that.

"Hey, my friends haven't
even watched this movie."

If they said a movie like Avengers,
it wouldn't matter at all.

How drunk are you?

Right now?

About 70%?

Is there anything
you want to know about me?

When was your last relationship?

-My last relationship?
-Yes.

It's been four years.
I'm on my fifth year now.

Since my last relationship.

Your last relationship was five years ago?

Yes.

-I haven't dated anyone for a long time.
-Yeah.

-That's a really long time.
-Yes.

What?

Seung-ah's been single for a long time.

I'd like that about her.

If she chose me,

it wouldn't be because she's just
looking for anybody to date.

It'd be because she really likes me.

Yeah, I suppose so.

And the fact that it's been that long

means she didn't break up
with someone to be on a dating show.

I tend to have long gaps
between relationships.

And I'm satisfied with
living my life as a single person.

Since I haven't dated for so long,

it's gotten harder for me to date.

Five years…

-It's been four or five years?
-Yeah.

Honestly, I was surprised.

Seung-ah clearly knows what she wants.

Since she seems to have
very clear standards,

I was a bit worried
that I might not meet those standards.

Excuse me.

Can we have another bottle?

-When was your last relationship?
-It's been about six months.

That's pretty recent.

Compared to five years, it is.

-May I ask you something?
-What is it?

-Could you pick the top two things…
-Okay.

…that make you feel loved the most?

I'll give you five examples.

Go ahead.

Encouraging words.

"You're a really great girlfriend."

A small gift. "This made me think of you."

Time spent together.

Someone who likes to focus
on their time together.

And gifts. But these gifts
aren't expensive ones.

Did I already mention that?

I didn't, did I?

-"This made me think of you."
-Okay.

I'm starting to smell the alcohol
through the monitor.

Something that the other person
does for you.

The other person does something for you
that you don't like to do.

Of those five things,
pick the top two things…

-Top two?
-…that make you feel loved.

Number four.

What was it again?

Number four? What was it?

NUMBER 4 WAS GIFTS

Words, action,
gifts, service, and physical touch.

TIME DISAPPEARS, PHYSICAL TOUCH APPEARS

Number four.

-Action?
-Yes, action.

Being willing

-to do something for you.
-Yes.

If you show it through actions
rather than just words…

-What's the second one?
-The second one?

What was number one?

-Actions.
-Actions.

Encouraging words.

-Number one.
-Actions?

ACTIONS WIN TWICE

Actions and…

ACTIONS AND… ACTIONS

Okay. Understood.

Anyway, this is really good.

Enjoy.

It's nice to see you eat well.

GUKBAP GONG

-You're drunk, aren't you?
-Yes.

Do you have a habit of eating
when you're drunk?

Yes.

He kept eating nonstop.

He kept eating and eating.

He'd eat whether it's hot or cold.

He said he was hungry.

He kept eating
but kept saying he was hungry.

I noticed he had a big appetite.

I prefer someone who has a big appetite
than someone who's a picky eater.

CHECKED YOUR EMAIL?
HAD GOOD COFFEE?

Wait.

-Her wallpaper…
-Let's check it out.

"Have you slept over seven hours?
Did you drink 2 liters of water?

Did you stretch your shoulders,
neck, and hip?"

"Did you drink good coffee?"

-This is something else.
-This is hilarious.

"If both people want to continue…"

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO 2ND ROUND,
SEND YOUR DECISION ALONG WITH THE REASON

JUNG-WOO REPLIES FIRST

HE KEEPS MAKING TYPOS

TRYING TO FOCUS

I OPT IN. I'M CURIOUS ABOUT HER

I OPT IN BECAUSE I WANT TO
GET TO KNOW HIM MORE

BOTH PEOPLE OPTED TO GO TO THE 2ND ROUND

You can hold your liquor well.

I'm 95% drunk right now.

-Seriously?
-Yes.

-I'm really curious about this one thing.
-What is it?

When you're in early stages of dating
or in a relationship,

do you tend to communicate often?

No.

When do you contact them?

Occasionally, when I want to
share parts of my daily life, I guess.

How often would you prefer
to meet your boyfriend?

-Honestly?
-Honestly.

Once?

-Once?
-Once or twice at most.

Twice at most?

You see, I value my alone time.

A LITTLE LATER…

THINGS ARE GETTING HARDER FOR THEM

Did you know that when you mix drinks,

you're done for?

Right now,

I am very drunk.

Me too.

I didn't control myself well.

But I really can't tell.

I can't tell with you either.

But it's obvious when I'm drunk.

It isn't.

-You can't tell?
-No.

That means you're drunk.

That's why

I'm not even using my dialect.

Yeah, that's right.

-You can tell, right?
-You're using less.

-Right?
-Yeah.

I'm a Seoul native right now.

-You're a Seoul native?
-Yeah.

I'm a total Seoul native right now.

THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY GO TO THE 2ND ROUND
SO THE BLIND DATE ENDED HERE

EVERYTHING WAS PREPARED FOR THEM

BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME FOR THE 2ND ROUND…

What? For real?

Why?

-You have to go from here!
-You should've gone from here.

Passed out?

They were so drunk
that it got too hard for them.

-We have to mention Anjuilche.
-They should've gone there.

How could you pass out?

This is as real as it gets.

How could this be?

THEY'RE SENT HOME

Can I share your umbrella?

How drunk are you?

-100%.
-100%?

I'm completely drunk…

Let's take it slow next time.

YAWN

When someone falls asleep drunk,

they tend to look pretty unglamorous.

But Seung-ah wasn't like that.

She looked pretty.

-Seung-ah.
-Yes?

Don't fall asleep.

-Sorry.
-It's okay.

SHAKING HER LEGS TO STAY AWAKE

Are you filming something?

I think so.

Good for you.

THIS IS HOW
THE FIRST DRUNK BLIND DATE ENDED

Oh, no.

They fell asleep.

But it really looks like
a scene from a rom-com.

I've seen that on a rom-com.

But it isn't going like

-a rom-com.
-Architecture 101.

-Gosh. "The next day."
-The next day.

THE NEXT DAY

THEY HAD A CONVERSATION
IN AN OPEN CHAT ROOM

HI, SEUNG-AH!
DID YOU GET HOME OKAY LAST NIGHT?

YES, I DID
I DIDN'T GET TO SAY BYE PROPERLY

DID YOU GET HOME OKAY?

DID I DRINK TOO FAST?
I'LL SLOW DOWN NEXT TIME

I GOT TO REST, BUT YOU HAD TO GO TO WORK

I WAS TOO HUNGOVER TO GO TO WORK

YOU MUST'VE BEEN VERY SICK
ARE YOU OKAY NOW?

YES, I FEEL BETTER SO I'M GOING
TO MY FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

DO YOU LIKE WINE, SEUNG-AH?

I LIKE WINE
NICE VIBE THERE

LET'S HAVE WINE NEXT TIME!

THE SECOND DATE

WE ADJUSTED THE ENTRY THRESHOLD
BASED ON THEIR TOLERANCE

It must be 0.04%.

-You cut it to half.
-Yes.

Great.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

You can drink a bit more.

SHE PASSED THE ENTRY THRESHOLD

ENTER THE BLIND DATE VENUE

LA SCALA

Well, I arrived late on our first date.

I realized being the one who waits
is more nerve-racking.

It made me more nervous.

ENTER THE BLIND DATE VENUE

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

When did you get here?

-About 10 to 15 minutes ago?
-10 minutes?

It hasn't been long.

-Have you been doing well?
-Yes.

She's pretty.

Was she this pretty?

Since we met in a more upscale place
and dressed more formally,

I felt butterflies.

Did you drink a bit of alcohol?

Are you drunk?

-Not as drunk as last time.
-Me neither.

-Just enough to feel good.
-Yeah?

Thank you.

It looks tasty.

We can't drink without this.

Which one do you want?

Regular chocolate.

-The regular flavor?
-Yes.

How is it?

It's good. It tastes just like chocolate.

The weather's good.

YOU MAY REVEAL YOUR JOB AND AGE NOW

BUT YOU CAN ONLY DO SO
IF YOU DRINK ARM IN ARM

They can only reveal it
if they drink arm in arm?

-The crew loves these things.
-Right?

Doing things like this.

-Linking arms.
-Holding hands.

How do we do this?

I was caught off guard.

I didn't know what to do.
Honestly, I wanted to hide.

I felt like she'd feel uneasy about it,
so I got up to do it.

Let me…

You can stay in your seat.

That whole situation was embarrassing.

So I just drank it all up.

She may have heard it,
but my heart was pounding.

I felt flushed all of a sudden.

It got hot just now.

Age?

I think you're about 31 or 32 years old.

-Around there.
-31 or 32?

I'm 33 years old.

-You're 33?
-Yes.

-Were you born in 1994?
-Yes.

-How old are you?
-You look young.

-I've never heard that before.
-Really?

What about you?

I was born in 1997.

I'm 30 years old.

Oh, you're 30?

-You really look young.
-Really?

-Yes.
-Yay.

Can I guess your job?

I think

you work in the fashion industry.

-Fashion industry?
-Yes.

I think so.

I'm a dental hygienist.

I am a dental hygienist, and I help
patients maintain their oral health.

For the past seven years,
I've been working at a clinic

doing oral hygiene management

and assisting with procedures
like root canals.

I also work in
periodontal and preventive care.

DENTAL HYGIENIST
HA SEUNG-AH

Working at a dental clinic suits you.

-Really?
-Yes.

She works in the medical field,

and it's a job that is hard
but respectable. I like that.

Dental hygienist. That's insane!

-My best friends are dental hygienists.
-Really?

I know a lot about this.

-You need a nationally certified license.
-Really?

You have to pass a licensing exam,

so naturally, he'd find that attractive.

Not everybody can do it.

Mine is a bit different. I'm a pharmacist.

For real?

Jung-woo's a pharmacist?

-Holy moly.
-That's amazing.

Seriously. How could this be?

Unbelievable. I'd just fall in love!

-You fall in love in every episode!
-No!

Who did I fall in love with?

You said Si-hyun was your type.

I said he was my type but not anymore.

They must have a lot in common.

Yeah, they'd have a whole lot in common.

I'm a pharmacist.

-Really?
-Yes.

I'm a pharmacist
who works at a pharmacy in Myeong-dong.

Applying this every day
could be a little too strong.

So every other day would be fine, okay?

K-beauty has become very popular
among foreigners these days,

and many come to us.

My job is to advise them on creams
and supplements you can buy at pharmacies

and helping them choose the options
that best fit their needs.

PHARMACIST
KANG JUNG-WOO

It suits you.

He seemed very cool.

We're in a similar line of work.

I know.

What kind of personality do you like?

I like someone who's funny.

-Someone who's funny?
-Yes.

I'm a lot of fun once I warm up.

Before that, not so much.

When I'm getting to know someone I like,

I feel like I come across as boring.

That's my biggest concern.

She may think that I'm not that funny.

-You haven't dated anyone in five years.
-Right.

It isn't easy to date someone.

-Your coldness…
-I seem cold?

-You're an icy beauty.
-I am?

Like you'd flat-out reject them.

An icy beauty?

I like that.

You see, I want to give off
that cold beauty vibe.

I think I'm playing coy right now.

I want to appear cool to him, I guess?

May I speak informally with you?

Yes, please do.

You will too, right?

In time.

-In time?
-Yes.

Then, I'll be informal when you are.

-Really?
-Yes.

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE 2ND ROUND,
SEND YOUR DECISION WITH A REASON

IF BOTH OF YOU WANT TO GO,
YOU'LL HOLD HANDS TO THE NEXT SPOT

When I saw that we had to hold hands,

I thought it might be awkward.

But we didn't get to link arms before,

so I thought I'd give it a go.

But it makes me nervous.

I OPT IN
I WANT TO GET TO KNOW HER MORE

I OPT IN BECAUSE I WANT TO
GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER

As we were talking,

I noticed he had
some of the qualities I like.

He picked up a slice of pizza
and just ate it with his hand.

SHE LIKES A MAN WHO EATS WELL

That made me more attracted to him.

BOTH OF YOU CHOSE TO GO TO THE 2ND ROUND
HAVE A GOOD TIME

Shall we go?

Maybe I'll hold my bag on this side.

How would you like me to hold your hand?

Is this comfortable for you?

-Yes.
-Okay.

Are you okay?

-Is this better?
-Yes.

-This is better?
-Yes.

ACAVE

-It's pretty here, isn't it?
-Yeah, it is.

If you were to take up a sport,
what would it be?

I wanted to learn how to do acrobatics.

-What is that?
-You know, things like tumbling.

Like the choreography
in 2PM's "Heartbeat."

I want to be good at gymnastics.

If someone is good at that,

don't you think it'd be
kind of surprising and cool?

Imagine that I did a back flip.

I guess so.

Do you have a lot of guy friends?

I do have some.

-How many do you have?
-How many?

I have about
four to five friends in Seoul.

-That's too many.
-Four to five is a lot?

If she has four to five in Seoul,
how many does she have in Gimhae?

Interesting.
He brought up an interesting subject.

And there are a few back home.

Four to five guys?

I wasn't that happy about that.

I think something like that
could potentially become a problem.

There's a lot of debate about
whether men and women can be friends.

What's your take on that?

I tend to trust the person
and let them meet their friends.

-Eating together?
-That's okay.

-Drinking together?
-It's okay as long as

they don't lose contact.

I don't like that one.

Why don't you like it?

If my girlfriend goes out drinking,
I get a little on edge,

so I'd rather she didn't
put me through that.

I prefer a peaceful
and drama-free relationship.

-I just trust that he will handle it well.
-I see.

CARDS HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO THEM

Open it.

THE CARD GAME OF TRUTH BEGINS NOW

AFTER A DRINK, YOU CAN PICK A QUESTION
CARD OR ASK ONE THING YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT

Now I can start asking questions
that really matter

and not those that skim the surface.

We have to drink to ask.

Are you going to have a drink now?

-I'm curious about something.
-Oh, yeah?

This one.

"What kind of person
would you like me to be for you?"

I've mostly dated guys
who were trying to establish themselves

and were always chasing
the next challenge.

So I'd like the person I meet next
to be more grounded.

Someone grounded?

That's me.

That definitely was flirting.

I think that I am pretty grounded,

so I really did think that was me.

It was pretty funny.

But I was happy that he said that.

I'm going to pick something fun.

Will you be okay?

I pick this one.

IF YOU GAVE ME A SPECIAL NICKNAME,
WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I have to think about this one.

It's hard, isn't it?

That's why I chose it.

If you can't answer,
you have to have another drink.

Was that the rule?

No, I made it up.

It has to have the aspect of icy beauty.

I'll just go with something generic.

Elsa of Gwangjin-gu.

Come on.

That's so cringe.

I haven't gotten such a blunt insult
like that in a while.

It was so unoriginal that it was funny.

Seriously though.

He gave me a nickname that was so dull.

He thought about it for about ten minutes.

The nickname he came up with
after those ten minutes

was Gwangjin-gu Elsa.

It was boring,
but the fact that he tried to be funny

was funny and entertaining.

THE BORING GUY WANTS TO ASK HER QUESTIONS

"Do you believe in love
that's meant to be?"

I've never thought of that.

Do you believe in destiny?

Have a drink first.

I've never thought
about things like love and destiny.

I believe that there is love
that's meant to be.

-Really?
-Yes.

The fact that I met you

at this time and in this place means that

it was meant to be.

Want to do this one?

WHAT PART OF MY LOOKS
DO YOU LIKE THE MOST?

I can tell you right away.

-Really?
-Yes.

Your eyes.

-My eyes?
-Yeah.

Your eyes really sparkle.

-That's my answer.
-Wow, really?

I like the way

your mouth curves when you smile.

HIS MOUTH TWITCHES

Thank you.

It's kind of like a Disney character.

Disney?

The kind of smile
that animated characters have.

Thank you.

I remember this from when we first met.

Jung-woo gave a big smile

and I thought he had a pretty smile.

That's why

I said I liked how his mouth curved
when he smiled.

He liked it.

He was smiling from ear to ear.

"How many more times
would you have to meet me

to feel sure about me?"

That's a tough one.

Have you ever gotten into a relationship
after dating for a short while?

We'll be meeting three times, right?

Do you think that's a short period?

Yes.

I think I dated for
at least a month or two.

The shortest period was three weeks.

You know what I picked up on from this?

-Look at the cards they chose.
-It's different.

Jung-woo wants to talk
about deeper things,

but Seung-ah picked ones about nicknames,

-her looks, and things like that.
-"What do you like about me?"

-They have very different personalities.
-Yeah.

How many times did you meet
during the three weeks?

We met up when we had time.

Do you have to go to the restroom?

I was trying to act like
I was thinking very deeply.

You could tell?

It was super obvious.

I'll go after I have a drink.

You don't have to drink.

SHE WANTS TO STOP HIM FOR SOME REASON

I'll just wet my lips.

COMPROMISING FOR ONE ANOTHER

TWITCH

-Oh, no. That'd be the worst.
-No.

-No.
-No!

Don't drink anymore.

Okay.

You look like you're about to throw up.

HER EYES ARE ON HIS MOUTH
IN CASE HE VOMITS

-Can you tell?
-Yes.

I could tell that he was
trying hard not to throw up.

That was kind of funny.

But he kept denying it.

The way he tried to fight it
was kind of cute.

Honestly, it wouldn't bother me

if he threw up in front of me.

How drunk are you?

-90%?
-Really?

-How drunk are you?
-How come it never shows?

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT INTEREST LEVEL?
SEND A TEXT TO SHOW HOW YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW

WHAT DRUNKEN TRUTHS
DO THE TWO OF THEM WANT TO SAY?

I FEEL CLOSER TO HER TODAY
I'D LIKE TO GET CLOSER WITH HER

LEVEL OF INTEREST: 90%

It was really nice. We were more at ease.

I was worried that
we wouldn't feel more at ease.

But we became much closer than I expected
thanks to the Game of Truth.

MORE COMFORTABLE THAN THE FIRST DAY

WHENEVER HE MAKES A JOKE, IT ISN'T FUNNY
BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY

LEVEL OF INTEREST: 65%

My level of interest definitely went up.

At this rate, my interest will
continue to increase.

Since we've always been drinking
whenever we met,

I don't know if I'm more interested in him
because of the alcohol.

I think I'll know for sure
when we meet up while we're sober.

-Do you think you can go for a walk?
-Yes, I'd like that.

I like going for walks at night.

-It's so pretty.
-Yeah.

THEY EVEN LINK ARMS

-We have to go to work tomorrow.
-I know.

It isn't even tomorrow.
It's in a few hours.

I start at six in the afternoon tomorrow.

Good for you.

-The next date is our last, right?
-Yeah.

It does seem short.

I think so too.

We have to make up our minds
the next time we meet.

I did think that it would've been nicer
if we had a bit more time.

Making a decision
after only meeting three times…

Is that strange
for people in their thirties?

I don't know.
I have so much on my mind right now.

I just hope we have a good time
so we aren't left with any regrets.

Take care.

THEIR SECOND DRUNK DATE HAS ENDED

THE NEXT DAY

-DID YOU GET TO WORK OKAY?
-YES

NO

HA HA
I'M DYING

I'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT SOMETHING
CAN I ASK?

YES, WHAT IS IT?

HOW LONG WAS YOUR LAST RELATIONSHIP?

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF
WHY WERE YOU SUDDENLY CURIOUS ABOUT THAT?

I WAS WONDERING IF THAT WAS
ENOUGH TIME TO MOVE ON

FOR ME, 6 MONTHS IS ENOUGH
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG FOR ME
I'VE LOST TOUCH

MY FRIENDS SAY
I'M LIKE A FIRST-TIME DATER

AN HONORARY FIRST-TIME DATER

AN HONORARY FIRST-TIME DATER

How dare he call her that?

I refuse to accept it!

Why would he tease her?

It's only been four years.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU

WHAT IS IT?

CAN WE SPEAK INFORMALLY ON OUR LAST DATE?

HA HA
LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT!

WE'RE MEETING VERY EARLY TOMORROW

OH NO, YOU'LL SEE MY PUFFY FACE

HOW PUFFY COULD IT GET?

IT GETS REALLY PUFFY
MY PIGGY SIDE WON AND I ATE A LOT TODAY

YOU HAVE A PIGGY SIDE? I'M THE PIGGY HERE
REMEMBER AT THE GUKBAP PLACE?

HA HA HA

LET'S HAVE FUN TOMORROW!
SLEEP TIGHT

YEAH, SEE YOU LATER!

THE THIRD DATE

TODAY'S DATE IS A SOBER, DAYTIME DATE
ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN, THE DATE ENDS

When this time is over, it's really over.

That really sank in.

No matter what we decide,

I wanted to keep things easy
and have no regrets.

I was wondering why a car stopped
in front of me and wouldn't move.

Hi, Seung-ah.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Oh, my.

-Here's your coffee.
-Thank you.

It's been a while.

You're a good driver.

My heart skipped a beat
when I noticed he was a good driver.

Why aren't you speaking informally to me?

THEY PROMISED TO SPEAK INFORMALLY TODAY

Then, I'm going back to
speaking formally to you too.

I'll speak informally.

Okay.

I didn't expect you
to show up in your car.

-You didn't know?
-I had no idea.

He really felt like a boyfriend to me
at that moment.

TAROT AND ASTROLOGY CAFE "KKAEBI KING"
SOBER, DAYTIME DATE

Based on his personality
through the fortune reading,

he tends to be a bit small-minded.

JUNG-WOO
1. A BIT PETTY

He isn't very petty though.

He may stay sulky when he gets upset.

"I thought he was over it,

so why does he keep bringing it up?"
Things like that.

He doesn't like being
completely left alone…

-Really?
-…nor does he like too much meddling.

It's contradicting.

2. HE NEEDS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ATTENTION

Yes, I think I'm like that.

She said he gets sulky.

He gets sulky if you ignore him
and when you give him too much attention.

I feel totally exposed.

Ask what you've been wondering about.

When will I get to date someone?

Pick five cards from here.

We aren't off to a good start.

Really?

"THE FOOL" CARD CAME OUT

It wouldn't mean you're wise.

SEUNG-AH
FOOL

It could mean that
you don't know much about men

or you don't know much about dating.

If you want to date someone,
you have to play hard to get,

but you aren't capable of that.

Even if you started dating,
I don't think you'd be good at it.

Between a clueless bear and a sly fox,

I think she's a bear.

I did think that she wasn't
exactly smooth or experienced.

Firstly, you got "the Fool."

This man is carrying sticks like this.
Can he see what's ahead of him?

-He can't see.
-He can't.

You might think that there weren't
any nice guys around you.

There aren't any guys around me.

So I ended up being single.

My workplace is filled with women too.

But the environment around me…

You blame your surroundings a lot,

but you must lift your head first to see.

I found it…

hard to agree.

Except for a few times,
I didn't have that many opportunities.

You just make good impressions on others.

But you remain a fool.

How sad. What do we do?

SUMMARY: A POPULAR FOOL

Camping?

Have you gone camping before?

-My friend likes to go camping.
-Really?

I've gone with him.

You said you had
about four to five guy friends in Seoul.

How often do you
contact them and meet them?

-Her guy friends keep bothering him.
-I know.

If I have nothing to do or I'm bored

and if there's someone
who's also bored, we'd meet up.

Of those four to five guys,
do you think any one of them are into you?

Of course!

Seung-ah's the bear type, right?

She thinks that all that matters is
that she doesn't have feelings for them.

That's the problem.

-She just has to handle it well.
-You see…

No. From the boyfriend's perspective,

even if his girlfriend isn't interested,

other guys keep flirting with her
and hope that she'll break up.

How could he like a guy like that?

Since Seung-ah hasn't had a boyfriend
for four to five years,

she kept the guys as friends
because she's lost touch.

But if she gets a boyfriend,
some of those guys will get jealous.

Jung-woo said he wanted
a drama-free relationship.

-He doesn't want any stress.
-He wants to eliminate those things.

That's why those guy friends are an issue.
Honestly, though, it should bother him.

Of those four to five guys,
do you think any one of them are into you?

-Yes or no?
-No.

-Seriously?
-Yeah.

You never know.

If they were interested in me,
we wouldn't be friends.

You wouldn't know though.

They would've made it obvious
a long time ago

if they were interested in me.

Didn't you see the Tarot card earlier?

You're just looking down
when they're making it obvious.

He asked about my guy friends again.

He must not have
a lot of friends who are women.

I think that's why it bothers him.

What Jung-woo said to Seung-ah
is a huge compliment.

-Yeah.
-You know what that means?

It means, "How could they not
like someone as pretty as you?"

"How could they not like you
when I like you?"

That's what he means. You know why?

Let's move on.

Why? I want to know.

When I tell a guy that I have guy friends,
they believe me.

No one has ever said
that the friend probably likes me.

-Come on.
-I'm serious.

Come on.

Thank you.

A QUICK CAFE STOP BEFORE CAMPING

TAKING PHOTOS BEFORE THEY EAT

-Is that a good angle?
-Hey, old man.

What?

-What's wrong?
-I'm not good at taking photos either.

Want to see who takes better photos?

You should stand closer to the flowers.

I'm really bad at taking photos.

JUNG-WOO, SHOT BY SEUNG-AH

I'll take multiple shots.

Look over here and look at the flowers.

-I think I won.
-Let me see.

Come on. What is that?

-What? It came out well.
-You're really bad at this.

-It came out well.
-No, it didn't.

Most importantly,
photos are all about composition.

The composition is awful.

What is this?

I look like a skeleton.

You failed.

Man, I'm never going to
ask you to take photos of me.

Are you good at this?

Do you have big hands?

-What do you mean? Thumb wrestling?
-Yeah.

-Ready, go.
-Ready, go.

-Hey.
-Wait.

-You're doing this for real.
-Of course, I am.

-I'm doing this for real.
-But I was…

Don't go easy on me.

Wait a minute.

HE GOT HER IMMEDIATELY

That's not fair.

REMATCH

Go.

Game over.

YOU SEEM MORE UPBEAT TODAY

Don't mess with me.

Well, we got out of Seoul

and went to a quiet place
in the countryside.

That really made me feel happy.

-Wasn't going for a drive your dream?
-Yes, it was.

WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE DREAM DATE?

I think it would be nice
to go for a drive.

That's why I was in a good mood today.

I got excited from all the butterflies.

URBANTAGE GLAMPING
SOBER, DAYTIME DATE

-Wow, this is cool.
-Yeah.

Look over here.

-Is that a table?
-Yeah.

-Shall we eat straight away?
-Yeah.

-It looks good. You're grilling a lot.
-Yeah.

Cheers.

-Isn't it so nice here?
-Yeah.

-The weather is so nice.
-Yeah.

-It puts me in a good mood.
-I know.

What do you say when people ask you
what your strengths are?

It's a strength and a weakness.

What is it?

When something bad happens,
I don't show it.

I try not to make others
feel uncomfortable about it.

But I think this is a strength
as well as a weakness.

I think it'd be nice if you could
share the things you struggle with.

Are you good at that?

I am.

-You are?
-Yeah.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Let's say the other person
feels like something's off with you,

but you won't tell them what it is.

Has something like that
ever caused any conflict?

Except for my last relationship,
I've always had conflicts because of that.

Why didn't you have that issue
with your last boyfriend?

I didn't share my concerns at first.

But he said I could tell him

when something is going on.

Once I started opening up, it became easy.

But I realized that it wasn't good
to open up like that.

Why?

I became too dependent on him.

Is it wrong to lean on your boyfriend?

I want to be someone
who doesn't depend on anyone.

Why?

When I become dependent,
I'm not able to do anything myself.

-Seung-ah's trying to be very independent.
-Yes, she is.

But she wasn't born that way.
She's just trying to be that way.

I'm getting
the eldest daughter vibes here.

Yeah, you're right. That's so true.

Self-reliant.

-We need to toast the marshmallows.
-Let's do that.

It's so hot.

If you toast them wrong,
they'll catch on fire.

-It's kind of hot.
-Yeah.

It's easier if you sit here.

What if I splatter marshmallow on you
while I'm doing this?

-If it splatters on me?
-Yeah. It's so hot.

Then, I'll eat it.

I'm tempted to do it.

-Why won't the color even change?
-I want all the heat to go to you

and I'll hide back here.

Okay.

If yours works, I'm taking it.

Okay, I've had it before.

Come on. He's no fun.

There's no banter. What a dull comeback.

-He just swallows the conversation.
-I know, right?

When she said she'll take his,

he should've said, "No, it's mine."
But he said, "I've had it before."

Yeah, that's it.

That's so boring.

It's raining.

Shall we put a blanket over our heads?
Hold this.

-They look so cute!
-Oh, my!

This is kind of silly.

-Let me hold it. Mine's ruined.
-Yours is--

Hey, why isn't mine toasted properly?

-No.
-Why?

-Let's not criticize each other.
-Come on.

I was toasting it just fine.

I stepped away for a second
and it turned into this.

Hold this.

IT WAS ALREADY RUINED WHEN HE GOT IT

Cheers.

You know, this kind of looks
like a mushroom from hell.

Try this one.

It's just like you took a layer off of it.

How is it?

It's gone bad.

-It went bad?
-Yeah.

Since it went bad, I'll eat it.

-You can't have any.
-You're saying it's good, right?

I'm glad.

It's really good.

Seung-ah has her own way
of showing affection.

Yeah,

messing with someone and teasing them
is how she shows affection.

But it isn't working with Jung-woo.

-It isn't.
-No.

He's serious

and he wants to talk about their lives.

But Seung-ah isn't like that.

I think Jung-woo felt that barrier.

Yeah, it feels like he sensed it.

The vibe is…

-He's talking less and less.
-The vibe isn't great.

-The sun's setting soon.
-Yeah.

-Do you have any last questions for me?
-Anything else?

Yeah, he keeps asking
if she has any questions.

What about you?

-I have one.
-What is it?

You said you regretted being dependent
in your last relationship, right?

Yeah.

Why

did you regret it?

Once I became dependent on him,
I kept relying on him.

I'm not that kind of person,

but I kept showing my weakness.

I found myself changing

and I didn't like that.

What kind of relationship do you want?

A dependent relationship?

Yeah, he says it right there.

Being able to support one another…

-Supporting one another?
-…and also,

being like a couple
or best friends at times.

Someone who can be that for me.

Have you made up your mind?

It's a secret.

THE SUN HAS SET AND THE DATE ENDED

ALL THAT'S LEFT IS
THE DECISION THE TWO OF THEM MAKE

THE LAST DATE ENDED
LEAVE THE OPEN CHAT NOW

SHARE YOUR HONEST FEELINGS
BEFORE YOU LEAVE

IF YOU MADE YOUR FINAL DECISION,
GO TO THIS LOCATION

IF NOT, YOU MAY GO HOME

THE TWO LEFT THE CHAT ROOM THEY WERE IN

I left it.

Did you make up your mind?

It feels like something is missing.

They didn't express themselves clearly.

I think Jung-woo really wants to
get to know her better.

Seung-ah said she hasn't dated in years
and her friends tease her about it, right?

But it's not like Jung-woo
took a clear lead either.

That's true.

Even when they were choosing
the cards from the Game of Truth,

-she chose ones that skimmed the surface
-Right.

-and he chose ones that were to-the-point.
-Yeah.

Even after the game, it kept going.

-He was serious and she kept joking.
-Yeah.

But she should've spoken up too.

She should've told him that
she teases the person she likes.

It felt like they weren't compatible.

-What is going on?
-They really hit it off at first.

PADO
FINAL DECISION

I made the final decision
to choose Seung-ah.

FINAL DECISION
JUNG-WOO CHOSE SEUNG-AH

Seung-ah is very easygoing and playful.

I think dating her would be fun,
kind of like being friends.

I'm at about 99%.

-Really?
-99%.

That's on him now.

Jung-woo didn't really
make that clear to her.

JUNG-WOO CHOSE SEUNG-AH
IF SEUNG-AH COMES TO THIS PLACE,

GIVE HER A BIG HUG
IF NOT, YOU MAY LEAVE THIS PLACE

Honestly, I'm still not sure
what she'll choose.

I still don't really know
what's on her mind.

Thanks for coming.

Did you wait long?

No, not long. Let's go inside.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE JUNG-WOO?

It was the first time meeting sober today,

and we had a much better time
than I expected without any alcohol.

-You're doing this for real.
-Of course, I am.

Hey, why isn't mine toasted properly?

-No.
-Why?

It felt like we were a real couple.

I had fun.

I want to get to know him better.

That's why I chose him.

FINAL COUPLE
JUNG-WOO AND SEUNG-AH

I thought you might not come.

-Really?
-Yeah.

It would be a shame to end things

-like this.
-Yeah.

And I wanted to get to know you better.

Thank you for coming.

I'm happy.

You were a question mark to me.

-Really? Why?
-Yeah.

It felt like you were

a bit too comfortable with me today.

I kept teasing you on purpose.

I felt like

I had to make the first move.

LEVEL OF INTEREST: 90%

WHENEVER HE MAKES A JOKE, IT ISN'T FUNNY
BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY

LEVEL OF INTEREST: 65%

GUILTY LAUGH

"Whenever he makes a joke,
it isn't funny."

You know, I love stating facts.

What joke did I make?

None of your jokes were funny,
to be honest.

-None of them were funny?
-You're not funny at all.

But you don't like unfunny guys.

Well, you aren't funny.

-You really aren't funny.
-Okay.

But…

Well, this is what it is.
You aren't funny,

but what you do is funny sometimes.

Sometimes I burst out laughing by myself.

Your charm is that you aren't funny.

No, I'm funny.

-You are?
-I'll show you.

-Can't wait.
-Give me some time.

You need time?

How tall are you again?

I'm 180 cm tall.

-You're 180 cm?
-Yes.

You don't seem much taller than me.

It's because I have tech neck.

I have tech neck too.

No, you don't.

-I'm practically a turtle.
-Mine is really bad.

My neck is really bent.

You have really good posture.

I do that on purpose.

-Really?
-Yeah.

THE NEXT DAY

GOOD MORNING

GOOD MORNING

She texted first.

Seung-ah sent the text first!

DID YOU SLEEP WELL?

GOOD MORNING
DID YOU EAT LUNCH?

I'M EATING NOW
ALONE

THAT'S A HEARTY MEAL
FOR SOMEONE EATING ALONE

-WHAT TIME WORKS FOR YOU ON SUNDAY?
-IT'S HOT DURING THE DAY

-SO AFTER 4 P.M.?
-HA HA HA OKAY

THE TWO MADE PLANS TO MEET ON SUNDAY

AND THE DAY OF THEIR DATE

AFTER THEIR DATE ON SUNDAY

How do you feel about him now, Seung-ah?

After that date,

I felt that the way we communicated
didn't quite match.

Even our daily texts felt kind of formal.

That's why we didn't move forward with it.

Even when I wanted to tease him,
I didn't know how.

It felt kind of hard.

There wasn't anything memorable
when we met either,

so he is just a good friend,
a good pharmacist friend, to me.

I think that's about it.

But he's a tough guy to figure out.

I don't know why he made that decision.

Honestly, I don't know why he chose me.

What went through your mind
when you made the final decision?

I had a really good time
on our third date.

That's why I made that final decision.

The comfortable mood from day three
kind of carried on.

We became more comfortable,

but we only had
surface-level conversations.

We had different interests.

I guess it can't be helped.

The fact that she thought
I wasn't funny the whole time.

That kind of annoyed me.

I sat there after the final decision
and all I could think of was "not funny."

When you drink alcohol,

you tend to view them more favorably.
Of course, Seung-ah is pretty.

Wait.

The things that you don't like
or aren't compatible with get blurred,

and you become hyper focused
on only the good things.

I realized something

as I was watching this.

Alcohol does not help you in romance.

I don't think it helps either.

I used to think it helped,

but seeing these two,
I realize that it doesn't help.

Even when I was watching them,
I thought they shouldn't work out.

When Jung-woo speaks,
Seung-ah would kill the conversation.

And when she teased him,

-he would kill the joke.
-He killed it.

There was no back-and-forth.

-It kept falling through.
-Yeah.

How could they possibly date?

They were attracted physically, for sure.

But dating isn't only about the looks.

And as Jung-woo said,

the two are in their thirties
with respectable jobs and grounded lives.

They didn't want to risk all that
when they knew they weren't compatible.

In the end, those two…

Did not work out.

Because they weren't compatible.

Dating isn't easy.

Of course not.

It seemed easy for Chan-yang.

For Chan-yang…

I'm starting to see Chan-yang
in a different light.

I'm glad to see the results
all the way through though.

Yeah, it's better to know the results.

Exactly.

You see, we all know that
the final decision isn't the end.

The real final decision happens
after they leave.

We've showed the viewers
what really happens afterwards.

The next experiment is

the King of Hearts game.

I've always been ambitious
since I was little.

I had to come in first no matter what.

I try not to lose.

I always tried to win.

A bit of wanting to dominate?

I'm going to make him mine.

I won her over in the end.

Why should I be the one to give her up?

She's not an object,
but it's better if she's mine.

The subjects, who are determined
to get what they want,

must live together
for four days and five nights

and fight to claim both love and power.

The King of Hearts game begins now.

Welcome to the King of Hearts game.

I'm scared.

What?

This is insane.

Can you become the king?

I have to get what I want.

I suddenly want to overturn it.

Someone may have ulterior motives.

I shouldn't just sit still.

-Can you hit the target?
-We have to dethrone them.

Someone like that shouldn't be king.

KING OF HEARTS GAME

Geez. This is so annoying.

Do you even get what's going on?

Who cares? I like that there are many.

Wait, King of Hearts game? What is that?

Isn't it like taking from one another?

I think it's kind of like
the drinking game, King's Game.

In King's Game,
you must do what the king says.

That's how the game is played.

Then, another person becomes king
and the game continues.

Then, in there,

it's more important to be popular
than having mutual feelings.

Exactly.

Let's write them down.
It can get confusing since there are many.

She's an icy beauty.

She looks like a chic city girl.

I wonder what kind of people
will be coming.

And will I find someone I like in there?

When I went in…

I didn't expect to be the first to arrive.

Can I sit down?

When are they coming?

Hello. Hi.

-Please stay seated.
-Okay.

He had very well-defined features.

He was tall and striking.

Hello.

-You got here first.
-Yes.

I was wondering where he'd sit.

Please sit where you'd like.

Over there.

Okay.

-Nice to meet you.
-Hello.

-He sat next to her?
-Next to her?

He's very handsome.

You don't usually sit
next to someone, do you?

So I thought, "Interesting."

It's so awkward…

since it's just the two of us.

There's a cat.

It disappeared.

-A cat?
-There was a cat there just now,

but it went away.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

-Please sit wherever you want.
-Okay.

-Doesn't she look like a K-pop idol?
-Kind of.

The background music
sounds like a girl group song.

-She has a cute and bubbly vibe.
-Yeah.

You shouldn't underestimate someone small.

-She may be incredibly competitive.
-Right.

-It's possible.
-Yeah.

A super cute

and sweet-looking person walked in.

I thought, "How adorable."

Since we have to wait for a while,

-how about we say our names…
-Shall we chat?

I am Lee Ye-rim.

-Lee Ye-rim?
-Yes.

Ye-rim? Okay.

-I am Moon Chae-rin.
-Moon Chae-rin.

-I'm Park Jung-min.
-Got it.

Let's have a drink for now.

-Is that okay?
-Sure.

What should we drink?

-That one.
-This one?

-Thank you. Someone's here.
-Someone's here.

A female guest is coming.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

Why are there
so many pretty women out there?

All three of them are so pretty.

May I ask your name?

I'm Park Ga-yeon.

-Park Ga-yeon.
-Yes.

Do you drink?

I can't drink a lot.
Just a little, please.

-Why are they all so soft spoken?
-Right?

If I…

What would it be like if we were there?

-Hello!
-Hello!

What's going on? Why is it so quiet?

Everybody!

Well, that's how you get to date someone.

-Yeah.
-People like us…

-We just host.
-Yeah, we end up hosting.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

What if you're the only man?

No way.

There are seven chairs.
I thought there were eight.

You're right. There are only seven chairs.

If there are seven chairs…

If another woman comes,
there will be four women.

-Right.
-You seem so happy.

He can't hide his smile.

What matters is who's next.

Yes. Who comes in next will determine

the male-to-female ratio.

-He's here.
-Hello.

It's a man.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

-Can I sit…
-Please sit wherever you'd like.

This person really looks
like a K-pop idol.

-Even his hair is wine red.
-His hair is dyed wine red.

Did you see that?

Look.

-Hang on. Look at Chae-rin.
-Look!

We know what she's thinking, don't we?
Take a look.

"He's not bad-looking."

-"Look at his hair."
-"Good job finding him."

"Wine red, huh?"

-"Not bad."
-"Well, look at this guy."

-What's up with that look?
-Look at all of their expressions.

We don't miss a single shot!

They all look like,
"Good job finding him."

-"This show's pretty good."
-Yeah.

Please sit wherever you'd like.

Nice to meet you.

-Hello.
-Hello.

What's your name?

Me? I'm Kang Kyung-ho.

-Kang…
-Kang Kyung-ho.

-Kyung-ho?
-Yes.

Go ahead and read that.

I'm exhausted.

The type of face that I like

is Kyung-ho's.

I like a manly and fierce look.

When Kyung-ho came in,

I was immediately hit
by the smell of his perfume.

That was memorable.

-Me?
-I considered him to be my type.

The way up here was tough.

Yes, it was steep.

Did you guys talk about a lot of things?

-I just got here.
-Really?

What's your name again?

I'm Ga-yeon.

Honestly, I was really surprised.

Can I say it?

I know him.

Would you like a drink?

-I'm not much of a drinker.
-Okay.

Try that.

Is it a good wine?

I don't know.

I really don't know
anything about alcohol.

You can't drink at all?

It's not that,
but I'm not much of a drinker.

I just naturally end up
not drinking a lot.

Kyung-ho was memorable for me.

He seemed so different from me.

He's pretty much the opposite vibe
from what I'm going for.

He's really different.

-I don't think you're shy.
-Me? I'm very shy.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-You know, doesn't he seem laid-back?
-Yeah.

In dating shows,
the laid-back guys are popular.

Yeah, that's right.

He didn't apologetically say,
"I can't drink."

-It wasn't like that.
-"I can't drink. Sorry."

"I don't know much."

-He said he couldn't drink proudly.
-Yeah.

"So what?"

I feel like I've already seen
his Instagram profile.

-Kyung-ho?
-Yeah.

I bet there's a photo
taken from this angle.

Yeah, like this.

Someone's here.

-A new person's here.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

So there are four women.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Wasn't it hard?

The way up

was a bit hard.

Did you run up?

No, but I don't know why
I'm out of breath.

It was hard for us too.

-Right? Wasn't it tough?
-We all went through the same process.

Next is telling your name.

-My name?
-Yes.

I'm Jung Hye-won.

-Jung Hye-won?
-Yes.

Is it "Hae"?

-It's "Hye"
-Oh, "Hye."

Please read the Tenant Guide.

-Okay.
-I've gotten used to this.

You're like a guide.

-Are you the host now?
-Yes.

You're all drinking, aren't you?

-I can't drink at all.
-Really?

I had some.

Wow! You did.

We ended up having four women.

-Right.
-Yeah.

-You're right.
-The last one should be a man.

You seem very happy.

I do prefer a woman.

-Hello.
-Really?

-He's here.
-He's here.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-I pick him.
-I pick him.

-Him.
-My final decision.

-He's my type.
-The tofu face?

He looks like the actor Jang Dong-yoon.

I like him.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Here.
-Okay.

-It's filled.
-Yeah.

Thank you.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I'm Park Do-geon.

Park Do…

Starting from his right,
please introduce yourself.

I'm Moon Chae-rin.

-Chae-rin?
-Yes.

I'm Park Jung-min.

Jung-min.

I'm Kang Kyung-ho.

-Kyung-ho.
-Yes.

I'm Park Ga-yeon.

-Ga-yeon?
-Yes.

I'm Lee Ye-rim.

Ye-rim.

I'm Jung Hye-won.

And Hye-won.

Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

We had a soft-featured face,

a strong-featured face,

and a fierce face.

They were all so different.

When the man walked in, I had my guard up.

If I end up liking someone while I'm here,

I may overlap with someone else.

So I'll have no choice but to compete.

You can call it a game of survival.

KANG KYUNG-HO

PARK DO-GEON

PARK JUNG-MIN

-I'm excited.
-I can't wait.

Make a V.

You've been invited
to the King of Hearts game.

King of Hearts game?

King's Game?

My heart was pounding.

I was a bit scared at first.

Who's the king?

I got you on that throne.

I like to face things head-on.

I've never been through it
so I don't know.

He's very charming,

so I keep looking at him.

-So pretty.
-Really?

I did it because you're pretty.

-Is she closest to your type?
-You don't love me yet.

Want to go on a date with me tomorrow?

-If not me, who will go?
-Let me do it.

What do you think?

Someone experienced?
