‎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.

‎JEONG BAEK-SUN SUNDAE RESTAURANT IN PANGYO

‎HE DISCOVERS SOMETHING

‎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.

‎SENDING YOU THE DRUNKEN TRUTH TEXTS ‎YOU SENT EACH OTHER ON THE SECOND DAY

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

‎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

‎MOON CHAE-RIN

‎LEE YE-RIM

‎JUNG HYE-WON

‎PARK GA-YEON

‎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?
