(Episode 6: Love, Mark)

What's the question?

"Do you have romantic feelings..."

"for someone who is present here?"

What was that?

- Gosh. - He couldn't answer it.

- What happened? - What?

Mr. Wang knows how to end a party.

He definitely made us start wondering.

Isn't that nice?

Then let's move on.

Gosh.

It's your turn.

Oh, okay.

The question?

I'll draw this one.

"When was the last time you were intimate with someone?"

"You'll face a penalty even if you have an answer or don't."

That's a fun question.

What kind of question is this?

Who brought this?

Hey, this question is considered "mild."

If you can't think of the last time you were intimate with someone,

you should just face the penalty.

Everyone has to drink the penalty shot.

Bottoms up!

- Come on. - Oh, no.

I think I'm going to throw up.

Gosh. Same here. I can't drink anymore.

Producer Oh, me too. I'm dying here.

Hey, don't you think that penalty is too unreasonable?

Then you can answer the question. It's that simple.

How would you define an intimate moment?

Hey, even the elementary school kids know that.

You're asking me that?

A man and a woman bond physically to get to know one another.

That requires me to have men around me.

I've been trying to remember it, but I can't think of one recently.

It has to be more than just interactions with mere men.

Sorry, everyone.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Gosh.

So that wasn't an intimate moment?

What are you doing, Wang Kyung Tae?

We both were naked, and we saw everything!

- Saw what? - What's he saying?

- Did something happen? - Something happened?

- What's this about? - Hey.

- You're drunk. Sit down. - Gosh.

Shut your mouth. Please.

- Let go of me. - Sit down.

Young Sim, what's he talking about?

He's making stuff up, right?

Wait. Did something happen between you two that night?

No. That's not...

It was an accident. It was a mistake.

- An accident? - So something must've happened.

- An accident... - An accident?

Gosh. It's not what you think.

- We were naked. But... - What?

- So you were naked? - What?

Young Sim. I didn't know you were that kind of woman.

No! Hey, Wang Kyung Tae. They're getting the wrong idea.

Tell them it's not what they think!

You should tell them.

Gosh.

What...

Jang Hwan.

Jang Hwan. What's wrong?

Jang Hwan, did something happen?

I got dumped again.

Are you talking about the girl you recently had a blind date with?

We went on five dates.

Things were going well too.

You really liked her.

But what happened?

She said I was boring.

Jang Hwan, you're a lightweight. You should stop drinking.

Stop drinking. Okay?

This wouldn't have happened if we didn't have this retreat,

and I went on a date with her this weekend.

I can't even get a girlfriend.

I'm not qualified to make a dating show.

What am I doing at this retreat?

- Young Sim. - Yes.

I'll go back to Seoul now.

I'll go and beg her not to dump me.

- No. Calm down. - I'll go.

- Jang Hwan. - Oh, no.

Darn it!

I'm done with dating or dating shows. Forget it!

Mr. Wang, be careful.

Gosh.

How pathetic.

Wang Kyung Tae, stop it.

What did you say?

Pathetic?

Does being a rich and successful CEO...

give you any right to insult other people?

Is that it?

Gosh.

The most pathetic sight has to be a man,

crying over getting dumped after trying to be...

in a relationship because he got lonely.

And no one has the guts to say this to your face.

Do you want to stay pathetic for the rest of your life?

I really wanted to make it work this time.

You have no idea.

Give it to me.

Give you what?

Your cell phone.

Don't want to know why you got dumped?

Are you telling me that you can figure that out?

Just give it to me. Show me the messages.

Gosh.

Open up the chatroom.

(Good morning. Did you go to work all right?)

(I can't wait until I get off.)

This is worse than I thought.

(Is something wrong?)

You're the only one talking.

But what did he do wrong?

Maybe, she was busy and didn't have time to text back.

Or maybe, she didn't think she was seeing you romantically.

Or do you think...

she didn't have anything else to add to his messages?

I mean, how much more can he express than this?

Jang Hwan expressed his interest very clearly.

You can't talk about this from the men's point of view.

She's nudging you.

Losing Jang Hwan doesn't bother her.

But she's testing you to see how much you'll try to get her back.

What? Isn't that really awful?

Actually, I did something similar a long time ago.

And I'm 100 percent sure that she's been seeing another man...

at the same time.

So...

in a nutshell, she has you on the hook. Yes.

What went wrong?

Jang Hwan.

You can't treat the act of texting like writing a journal.

Constantly sending messages when she hasn't texted back...

is the worst.

But that shows how much he likes her.

Jang Hwan doesn't know how to play hard-to-get.

He's such a kind, diligent man.

But he must do that in moderation.

How can you love in moderation?

What do you think is the takeaway...

of his month-long conversation with her?

Right. She can tell that he's a good guy.

But she's not interested in him romantically.

- Okay? - Gosh.

Jang Hwan.

I think one's sincerity is important.

You can't miss that window. She might move on from you.

Gosh. You're clueless.

You're bound to lose...

if you only appeal to your sincerity without analyzing your target.

You should go now. Chae Dong.

Do you think that will change her mind?

Then what should I do?

Jang Hwan, just accept it.

She dumped you, and you're not good enough for her.

This fling didn't lead to anything and is dying down.

And you need one big move to revive this fling.

What if he ends up losing the remaining one-percent chance?

How can you be so sure?

You have something to say, zero-vote girl?

Then...

do you want to bet which one of us is right?

Jang Hwan, don't you want to know...

why you never end up getting the girl?

Jang Hwan, it's your call.

(2 days later)

All right. I hope you're all well-rested.

No one today is tired. Okay?

Gosh. Of course.

Stop yawning.

All right. Let's start the meeting.

We'll check out the new version.

Focus.

Mr. Wang!

- It worked! - Hey.

She texted back!

We're going to the concert together.

Gosh, why are you hugging me? This is not cool.

Sorry. I was so happy. I didn't know I was hugging you.

She texted back! Yes!

Really? She really texted back?

- Yes. - No way.

How did you do it?

Mr. Wang, why did you bring me to your office?

I didn't want you to feel sentimental...

and end up texting her first, so I brought you here.

You didn't have to worry about that.

I'm not going to do anything. Nothing at all.

I never said you should do nothing.

These are tickets to a concert.

I checked out her social media page.

She even took days off from work to go on a concert tour.

She's a huge fan of music.

No way! How did you manage to score these awesome tickets?

I'm the CEO of Kingvely.

I see. Right.

First off, it's important for you to talk in person, not online.

But the future of this fling depends on what you do next,

Jang Hwan.

I'm nervous.

It would help if you talked less about yourself.

You should ask questions about her when you talk.

I just wanted to show her a better side of me.

You must make her talk about herself a lot more than now.

That's why I asked her a lot of questions.

Asking a lot of questions isn't everything.

You must ask open-ended questions.

Open-ended questions?

You're only asking her...

close-ended questions that only require a yes or a no.

You must help her talk more freely about herself than now.

Can you give me an example?

It's not hard. Here's an example.

"What are some songs you listen to these days?"

"Recommend me some."

- Something like that. - Music.

So with this method,

once she starts talking about herself more,

a part of her brain that recognizes joy will be activated.

This part gets activated when you eat tasty food...

or earn a lot of money.

People feel immensely happy and satisfied...

when they talk about their strength and values.

I asked her random questions to keep the conversation going.

I shouldn't do that.

All right. Let's practice now.

Pretend that I'm the girl.

Just relax and ask me some questions.

Wait.

Well,

what kind of music do you listen to lately?

Well, lately,

I started to listen to British pop again.

You know, bands like Oasis, Blur, and Suede.

Do you know British pop?

Well,

not really.

This is why I told you everything depended on you.

It's not a mere skill.

If you sincerely care and learn more about the interests she has,

I'm sure things will change.

It's a secret between him and me.

Mr. Wang. This is all thanks to you.

I told you you would be happy that you became a producer, didn't I?

Just trust me. I told you it was going to work.

Seriously. I'm so amazing.

Yes, sir. I won't quit. I'll do my best!

- Yes. - Just tell me what you need,

Kyung Tae. - "Kyung Tae?"

Jang Hwan. Why do you sound like you're friends with him?

Kingvely!

Mr. Wang, I haven't been able to get anywhere...

with this girl for ten months.

Ten months?

He said he liked it when women made the first move, so I did.

But he left me on read.

Mr. Wang, I have a blind date this weekend too.

- A blind date? - I'll help you. Sit down.

Wait.

All right. Attention, please. Hold on.

Gosh. What is this?

Wait.

I didn't want to admit it.

But at this moment,

the inspiration I couldn't look away from as a producer...

came to me.

Yes!

This is it.

All done.

This is nice, right?

What about the guy in the middle? Will he join our show?

Okay. In 1, 2, 3.

- We got this. - We got this.

I'll start my pitch.

"Love Mark."

"Love Mark."

You will...

mark love?

Parents have Dr. Oh Eun Yeong to help them raise kids.

But you have me, Oh Young Sim, who will help you find love.

I have a bad feeling about this again.

No one has seen an original dating show like this before.

Is this a reality show? Or a variety show?

Young Sim and Kyung Tae from the childhood cartoon...

want their fling to end and move on as a couple.

We will help the youth who are facing love crises...

navigate the dating world up close...

to get the girl or the guy they want.

Our role is more than being a middleman.

It's a project to be their fling mediator.

What? A fling mediator?

Do you think...

the scandal from "The Arrows of Love" will go away...

with this?

As there was a distasteful incident from that show,

Young Sim and Kyung Tae from the childish cartoon...

will help young people with their innocent, pure flings.

We'll try to overcome it with our genuine intention to help them.

Mr. Wang.

Are you on board with this?

Yes. Well...

I guess you could say that.

To be honest, I don't trust you.

But I think...

I can trust Kingvely.

I love Kingvely.

Let's go, "Love Mark!"

Please sit, Jang Hwan.

How about it Director Heo?

Do you think we could move forward with this proposal?

- Go ahead. - Yes!

Nice! Thank you, Director!

I'm so excited!

Try to relax.

Why don't we cheer ourselves on? We've got this.

- Let's go. - We've got this.

Very well. Stand a little closer together, please.

Okay. Eyes forward, please.

I told you to stop leaning on me.

- I'll stop when you stop. - Stop it.

Let's try to look friendlier to each other.

Especially you, Mr. Wang.

You're only smiling with your mouth,

and it's freaking us out.

Let's try smiling properly. Smile?

You're at work. At least try to be professional.

- I am professional. - Repeat after me.

Capitalism is in control.

We must conform.

Smile!

All right. Let's go with cute, adorable, and cheeky this time.

Recall those childhood days.

Heart.

Heart.

Can you make it look more natural?

Should we smile more?

No, if you smile too hard, your wrinkles...

Don't laugh!

What the heck? Why did you hit me?

You little brat!

I tried being patient! I told you to leave me alone!

- Let go of me! - This is good!

These poses are great. Keep it up.

Don't you think they look similar?

Yes. I think they have similar characteristics.

What do you mean? They don't suit each other at all.

What's wrong with you today?

Who are you?

I'm a colleague.

Keep it up. Just a few more shots.

That's great. Good work!

("Love Mark")

(Hello. We are the crew behind OSN's new variety show, "Love Mark.")

(Our show aims to put the spark back in blossoming relationships.)

(If you're starting to lose hope, )

(please post your story on our message board.)

("Love Mark")

(Name: Sim Ha Ni)

(I want to date my upper classman. I've liked him since freshman year.)

Look at this. You should apply.

- What is it? - It's called "Love Mark."

Apparently, it's really popular.

(Hello. We are the crew behind OSN's new variety show, "Love Mark.")

(Submit your story here.)

This is crazy.

("Love Mark" Message Board)

Goodness.

We have this many applications?

Yes.

There were so many users in the early morning...

that the page was down for a while.

Of course, Korean people are serious about dating.

It would be so great...

if the show is as popular as the applications.

It will be. I'll make it happen.

But Young Sim, how are we...

going to read all these?

What the heck?

This one can get lost.

Pass!

(I want to prove that love can overcome borders and prejudices.)

(Applicants' green room)

Hello. I'm 27 years old, and my name is Yoo Dong In.

I'm studying to be a florist.

I'm currently employed as a police officer.

I'm a micro-influencer...

and want to become a mega-influencer.

Please cast me on your show.

I'm the rapper, Baechu. You know me, right?

I guess you don't.

I'm 30.

Love has nothing to do with age. Love isn't a joke.

Darn this.

I'm working as a re-enactment actor.

My name is Yeo Mi Ho.

This is all a scripted performance, right?

I have a story about a first love with an incurable disease...

that will bring everyone to tears.

My fee is open to negotiation.

What is this nonsense...

I've found a love that I want to pursue before I die.

My divorce won't take long. So please, choose my story.

Baechu will work it all out.

All right, then. That's all we need...

Darn!

I'm pretty sure this is a flop. Are there more interviews?

Yes. We have one more applicant interview scheduled today.

I think this person is a little different.

("Love Mark" Application Form)

We're ready for the next applicant.

Right. Hello, there.

Could you start by introducing yourself?

I'm a 37-year-old office worker. My name is Nam Ki Ho.

Thank you for the story you shared with us.

Right. Sure.

(Nam Ki Ho)

Can you give us a short explanation of why you posted your story?

Well, yes. I guess so. It's just...

Well, that person to me is...

Just a moment! Wait for me, please!

Just a moment! Wait for me. Please, wait.

I have a colleague who was also employed when I was.

Her name is Jung Yeo Ul.

Thanks.

It's nice to see you again.

(Nan Kyung Commerce)

We send each other messages throughout the workday.

(Yeo Ul: "Did you watch the OSN variety show over the weekend?")

She only brings snacks in for me.

We leave work together and eat together too.

We even drink together occasionally too.

(Yeo Ul: "Let's leave work together later and go for dinner.")

(Ki Ho: "Yes, let's do it!")

It was just the two of you having a drink...

and nothing else happened?

Perhaps she has a boyfriend that she hasn't mentioned.

No, she doesn't. I actually...

asked her if she did.

Then, what could be the issue?

It's been two years of this.

Nothing has changed.

Two years?

Did you ask her out...

or make a move at any point during that time?

Of course, I did. I definitely did.

Yeo Ul bought me a gift for my birthday.

So I agreed to buy dinner.

I decided to take a leap of faith that day...

and finally plucked up the courage.

Happy Birthday, Ki Ho.

I bought it because I thought it would suit you.

Gosh. You're so busy as it is.

Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday.

Don't mention it.

Shall we toast?

Cheers.

- Hand me your plate. - Okay.

- I'll grab some for you. - Thanks.

- Just a little bit, please. - Okay.

There.

Thank you.

Hey, Yeo Ul.

Are you doing something on Christmas Day?

On Christmas Day?

Yes. Would you like to...

watch a play with me that day?

Well...

I don't think I can.

Why is that?

I'm Buddhist, so I don't celebrate Christmas.

It might have been different if it was Buddha's birthday.

Asking someone out on Christmas Day is like asking them to go steady.

Is that what you did?

You should never pressure them in a case like this.

But she gave him a birthday present.

Maybe she was interested in him.

Maybe she felt uncomfortable about dating someone from work.

I think things started to turn a little awkward from then.

Then how about this weekend?

I have to work out this weekend.

What do you normally do?

Should I join you?

That might be a little difficult.

Why is that?

I'm going to bow 3,000 times to Buddha as my workout.

You'll bow 3,000 times?

Yes.

You're going to bow 3,000 times?

Things were going well before then.

Please eat.

I never thought...

I would come to a television studio in my life.

I decided to take the risk...

and applied for it.

So...

So please,

help me.

All right.

We'll get in touch with you after a discussion.

All I ever did was work.

There was no particular reason.

I just fell for her because it was her.

It was the first time it ever happened to me.

I really don't want to give up.

Knowing the right time to give up...

can be beneficial to your life if you look at the long run.

"Give up?"

Ki Ho, we'll be in touch.

She really shut him out coldly.

Do you think she shut him out? Maybe there's a story behind it.

Perhaps there's a problem with the applicant.

What are your thoughts, Kyung Tae?

- I'm against it. - Why?

Why are you acting cold only to Ki Ho?

I don't think...

the case is too difficult.

"Difficult?"

It's clearly a total disaster.

He came to us because he needed help.

He's too old for our target audience.

He also looks too old.

His image doesn't fit Kingvely's company image, either.

Also, going forward with his case...

might only end up hurting him.

Yes. I think we can find fresh and entertaining stories.

But he must be really desperate to apply to us.

I think a lot of people would relate to his case.

It's a waste of time.

I'm not here to do charity.

Why should I play a game...

I have no chance of winning?

I don't know. Anyway, I want to pick him.

Promoting Kingvely is important,

but being sincere is more important.

Producer Oh.

Didn't I tell you...

I would be making the final decisions?

Me.

What do you think? Pretty good, right?

Do I have to appear in it too?

Well, this idea came about...

thanks to Kingvely.

Don't you like the title too?

"Love Mark."

"Love Mark."

Please, by tomorrow,

Director Heo will change his mind.

Okay, but I have a condition.

"A condition?"

I'll be the one to make the final decision...

on everything.

But that's a bit too much.

I'm the producer, after all.

- Right? - Yes.

It's not possible, is it?

No.

- Of course, it's not. - What?

I understand. Forget about it.

Kyung Tae.

Please lean back.

That's how CEOs work, right?

That's why you're a CEO.

- Gosh. - So you can do whatever you want.

Right?

Darn it...

Okay. I guess it can't be helped.

Young Sim, this isn't right.

But Mr. Wang doesn't like it. We have no choice.

All right. Let's stop here for today.

- Okay. Good work. - Good work.

I just fell for her because it was her.

It was the first time it ever happened to me.

I really don't want to give up.

Everyone's dating someone,

but what am I doing?

I'm only helping other couples.

By the way,

don't bother walking me home from now on.

You must be tired.

Don't give Young Sim and Kyung Tae any time alone...

and give her lots of hints. Understand?

It's okay, Young Sim. I do it because I want to.

You must be stressed today because of Mr. Wang.

Yes.

It'll become my daily routine for the next while.

If anything bothers you, you can always vent to me.

I'll help you.

I heard it wasn't easy hiring the rest of our staff.

Should I get involved?

No, it's okay. I can take care of it.

Gosh, Chae Dong.

You're all grown up now. You're even worrying about me.

How cute.

I'm not your junior anymore...

I'm a man, you know.

Hey, what has gotten into you?

- Young Sim. - Yes?

- I... - Hold on.

See you later.

Producer Oh.

- We need to talk. - What now?

Let's include Ki Ho.

What?

Did you change your mind? What happened?

I just chose to.

Gosh, we can help him now.

Great. I'm so happy.

But there is still a problem we need to resolve.

"A problem?"

Jung Yeo Ul. Do you think she'll agree?

I already took care of that.

Once you're on the show,

it'll officially leave records.

Also, people will leave comments.

It could cause you stress for the rest of your life.

Will you be okay with that?

Despite that, the reason why we came to you...

was because we wanted to make nice memories for the two of you.

I could feel the sincerity from Ki Ho.

Well...

Okay. I'll give it a try.

What? Really?

Will you be okay with that?

I think it might become a good memory for me too.

- Hello. - Hello.

This is how you normally dress, right?

- Yes. - I see.

Please go up here.

We'll take some test shots with our app.

A man with only one outfit,

optimized for work and overtime evenings.

Awkward bushy hair to cover up...

his pimple marks and short chin.

Slouchy shoulders and a hunched neck.

(Hunched neck, bushy hair, slouchy shoulders)

(Temple Stay Date)

(Episode 1: Ki Ho and Yeo Ul, Temple Stay Date)

Oh Young Sim, let's really give my best this time.

- Young Sim. - Yes?

The sun will set soon.

You're right.

Are Mr. Wang and Ki Ho not here yet?

No. They're stuck in traffic.

Until Wol Sook and Yeo Ul get here,

let's have the B team stand by here.

Chae Dong and I will double-check the line of movement.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Gosh.

Gosh.

This is insane. Look at the sunset.

It's so beautiful.

You're here, Mr. Wang.

Hello.

What? Gosh.

No way. Is that you, Ki Ho?

Yes.

Where's Producer Oh?

She's inside checking the line of movement.

Once Yeo Ul and Wol Sook arrive,

we'll shoot the interviews and move over to the accommodation.

Can you hang here for a moment?

What's the matter?

My stomach has been acting up for a while.

It must be my nerves.

Where is the bathroom?

- It's that way. - I see it.

Okay. Please excuse me.

Why now?

I can understand him.

I got a stomachache just before the concert started,

so I was 30 minutes late.

Did it end just like that?

After the concert,

I suggested that we officially start dating.

And?

She said she'd think about it.

She hasn't answered me for days.

It's not looking good, is it?

Didn't I tell you? It depends on you now.

No matter the result,

you should accept it.

I heard there was a wishing rock here.

I wonder if making a wish might change the result.

"A wishing rock?"

I doubt it.

Anyway, we have to get ready to shoot.

Mr. Wang, you'll come with Ki Ho, right?

- I'll take him down. - Okay.

We'll move over to the main building now.

What's wrong with you? That's enough.

"A wishing rock?"

Gosh.

Be careful. There are many jagged stones there.

I see. Okay.

They say your wish will come true if you wish for one here.

- Really? - Yes.

If the Buddha here smiles after you make your wish,

they say it'll come true.

No way. I don't believe it.

It's true.

It's famous for it, so people line up on New Year's Day.

- Really? - Yes.

What's taking him so long?

- Hello? - Mr. Wang.

- Can you... - Hello?

- Hello... - Hello?

- Mr. Wang... - Can you hear me?

Excuse me. The reception is poor here.

Where should I go to get better reception?

You should get good reception near the wishing rock.

Okay, thank you.

- There. - What did you wish for?

Wait.

Let me check if he's smiling or not.

It kind of looks like he is,

but also not.

It's too dark to tell.

What do you think?

In my opinion,

he's smiling.

- Really? - Yes.

This place must suit me well.

I'll ask him to grant your wish too.

Tell me.

- My wish? - Yes.

I'll ask for it along with mine. I have a good feeling.

Tell me. Hurry.

Come on. Hurry up and tell me.

Hurry up.

I like you, Young Sim.

What?

My wish is...

for you to like me back.

Hey...

Stop joking around.

(Oh! YoungSim)

Don't scratch your head and open your chest.

This picture looks so gloomy.

Are we shooting a documentary or a variety show?

You startled me.

Are you kidding me?

I had enough. Are you serious?

I'm trying to get together with Kyung Tae.

Can you help me out?

Why should I?

You're currently in an excited state.

"Excited?"

Use that timing to confess to her.

You'll likely succeed.

I have something to confess to you too, Ki Ho.

Do you mind if I go first?

No way...

No, Yeo Ul!
