[Episode 6: Love, Mark]

Gosh, what are you stalling for?

"The person I like is currently here. Yes or no?"

Gosh, what the heck?

Geez...

Is something wrong?

I have no idea.

CEO Wang, you're the best for an ending.

Stimulating people's imaginations and all. It's so nice to see, right?

We're moving on to the next game, then.

Oh, my.

Sunbae, it's your turn.

Huh? O-Oh, okay.

I think I'll go for this one.

"When was your last skinship?"

"Whether you don't answer or you've got none, you get punished."

My goodness.

What's up with the questions?

Who brought this?

Hey, this much is child's play.

If it was too long ago for you to remember, just drink.

Everybody has to chug their shots, though!

I think I'm ready to puke, though!

I don't think I can drink, either.

PD Oh, I feel like dying, too.

Isn't the punishment too harsh?

You can just answer, then. It's simple.

What are the standards of skinship, then?

Hey, why ask what even toddlers know these days?

Progress and touch between opposite sex.

I need a man near me for that to happen.

No matter how I think about it, there's none that's recent.

Just because he's a male doesn't mean he's a man to me.

I'm sorry, everyone.

That doesn't count as skinship?

What's wrong, Wang Kyung Tae?

We were clearly naked and saw everything there was to see!

What does he mean naked?

What's he saying right now?

Something did happen.

Did something happen between them?

Wait- Hey!

Y-You're drunk. Sit down now!

Shut up, please!

Gosh, let go.

Sunbae, what's he saying? He's wrong, right?

No way. Something really happened that night?

N-No, that's not it. Th-That's not what he's talking about.

It was just an accident and a mistake that day.

- An accident? - I guess an accident did happen.

An accident?

Wait, everyone. It's absolutely not what you're thinking.

- We were naked, but- - What?

- So you were both naked, huh? - Huh?

Sunbae, that's the kind of person you were?

N-No, I'm not.

Hey, Wang Kyung Tae, everyone's getting the wrong idea.

Hurry up and say they have it wrong!

You go ahead and talk. Come on.

Gosh...

I mean...

Jang Hwan...

Jang Hwan, what's wrong?

Hyung, is something wrong?

I was rejected yet again.

The girl you were catching feels for recently?

I met her five freaking times!

The mood was nice and all, too.

You liked her a lot, Hyung.

What's the matter, then?

She said I'm just boring.

Jang Hwan, you can't even drink that much. Stop it here.

Stop drinking, okay?

Had I gone on a date as planned over the weekend,

instead of coming to a workshop, this wouldn't have happened.

What dating show am I here to make when I can't even date myself?

Sunbae...

Yes?

I'll just go back to Seoul now.

I think I should try holding onto her now.

No, you shouldn't.

F-For now, calm down a bit-

Damn it!

Dating and show business, I quit!

Geez...

CEO Wang, p-please be careful.

Gosh...

How pathetic, seriously.

Wang Kyung Tae, cut it out.

What did you say?

Pathetic, am I?

If you're rich and successful...

are you allowed to say whatever you want? Huh?

Aigoo...

There's no worse of an eyesore...

than a man who got rejected by a woman, he clung to out of loneliness.

You don't have anyone to tell you this, either.

Do you wish to remain such a pathetic human being all your life?

I wanted to really give it my all this time.

You don't even know...

Just let me see.

Let you see what?

Your cellphone!

Don't you want to find out why you were rejected?

Are you saying you can find out, CEO Wang?

Just hurry up and let me see your messages.

Gosh...

Open your messages.

[Good morning. Did you get to work okay? / Yes / Did you have good lunch? / Yes

[Looking forward to getting off work, MBTI Test] It's worse than I expected, seriously.

You're the only one talking here.

Wait, but what did Jang Hwan hyung do wrong?

Could it be that the woman was too busy to answer in time?

PD Jang Hwan was the only one involved, wasn't he?

Did he send messages all excited by himself...

that don't allow the other person to say much about?

Wait, how much more can he express himself?

Jang Hwan hyung expressed a lot of his feelings.

Don't talk from a man's perspective.

This is a type of "give me more" technique.

She's not really sore about losing Jang Hwan...

and she's just trying to see how badly he wants her.

What?

Doesn't that make her a terrible person?

In fact, I had a similar experience before.

I'm almost 100% sure she has someone else in mind.

Therefore...

it means you were played, sort of speak.

Wh-What could I have done wrong?

Jang Hwan...

messages aren't for your diaries.

Writing so much to a response-less thread is the worst.

Isn't he doing that because he likes her?

Our Jang Hwan hyung doesn't play games with people's feelings.

He's a really nice and diligent guy!

But enough is enough.

How can you keep it just enough when you like someone?

What do you think is the gist of his one month's worth of messages?

All right. I get that he's a good person. However...

he's not that attractive as a man.

- Okay? - Shit...

Gosh...

Jang Hwan...

I think sincerity is important.

You can't miss the timing. Her heart might close even more.

Aigoo, look how ignorant she is.

You'll lose every time if you shove in your sincerity without analyzing the other person.

Hurry up and go, Jang Hwan.

Chae Dong!

You think that will change her mind?

Wh-What are you telling me to do, then?

Jang Hwan, let's admit it.

You were rejected and lacking for your flirt.

One big shot is what you need to revive your flirt that's dying.

What if he loses even the remaining one percent of possibility?

How can you guarantee it?

Does the Zero Votes Girl get a say in this?

Well, then...

shall we make a bet to see who's right?

Jang Hwan, don't you want to know?

The reason why your flirt always fails.

Jang Hwan, make your decision.

[Two days later]

All right, everyone got a good rest, right?

I'm sure no one's tired.

Stop yawning, all of you.

Let's focus on the meeting again now.

We'll be doing a new version today, so focus.

CEO Wang, CEO Wang, CEO Wang!

It worked, it worked, it worked!

I got a reply! I did!

I got the reply, and we're going to a concert!

What's wrong with you? You're being gross!

Oh, I'm sorry. I was just too happy.

Whoa! She replied. She did!

She replied!

Are you sure? Did you get a reply?

Yes!

Daebak.

What did you do?

CEO Wang, why did you want to see me here?

I was worried you might contact her first after drowning in your emotions.

Geez, what a needless worry.

I'm going to do nothing like the good-for-nothing I am.

I didn't tell you to do nothing.

These are concert tickets.

I noticed from the lady's feed that she likes music so much that

she even takes days off to take trips for concerts.

Daebak!

Aren't these really hard to get?

I'm Kingvely, man.

First off, meeting offline is important, not through messages.

However...

everything after this point is entirely up to you.

I'm getting nervous.

Talk less about yourself and ask more about her in a conversation.

I just wanted to appeal to her as much as I could.

You have to let the other person talk more about herself than now.

That's why I asked a lot of questions, too.

Just asking a lot of questions won't work.

Open, open. Ask some open questions, please.

Open questions?

Right now, you ask closed questions that only call for short answers.

You need to allow the other person to talk more freely than now.

Well, for example?

It's not difficult. For example...

"What's in your playlist these days? Please recommend."

Stuff like that.

Music...

Therefore, when someone gets to talk more about herself naturally and smoothly...

the part of the brain that feels happiness gets activated.

It's the same part that activates when you eat delicious food or earn a lot of money.

Because people feel great satisfaction and joy

when they're talking about their strengths and values.

I asked random things to keep the conversation going.

But I shouldn't do that, huh?

All right. Let's go into practice right away.

Imagine that I'm the woman and ask questions comfortably.

One second.

What music do you listen to these days?

Well, these days...

I'm listening to Brit pops like Oasis, Blur, and Suede again.

Do you know about Brit pops by chance?

Well...

not really...

This is why I said everything is entirely up to you going forward.

If you study the other person's interests with all your heart, not skills,

I'm sure things will change.

It's our own little secret.

CEO Wang, this is all thanks to you.

I told you I'll make you 100% satisfied with your job, right?

Just trust me. It all works out.

Seriously, I'm too skilled.

Yes! I won't quit and do my best!

- Sure. - Please order me as you wish...

Kyung Tae hyungnim.

Hyungnim?

Hyung! How can you call him your hyung?

Kingvely, Kingvely...

Kingvely...

CEO Wang, there's a person I've only been talking to for 10 months...

Ten months?

I confessed because he said he likes go-getters, but I got ghosted.

CEO Wang, I also have a blind date this weekend!

- Blind date? - Hyung, you've got me. Sit back down.

- Sit- - Wait, wait a minute!

All right, everyone. Attention, please. One moment.

What the heck is going on right now?

Wait a second...

Though I didn't want to admit it...

at this moment, I got an inspiration I can't avoid...

as a PD.

♫ I want to hear you ♫

Yes!

This is the answer!

♫ And I want to meet you ♫

Done.

What about that person in the middle? Did he say he'll come out?

- One, two, three! Fighting! - Fighting!

We'll start pitching now.

"Love Mark!"

"Love Mark."

You'll mark...

love?

There's Dr. Oh Eun Young for parenting...

and there's Oh Young Shim for dating.

I'm getting worried again.

Th-There has never been a dating show like this one.

Is this reality or a variety show?

Young Shim and Kyung Tae in your memories...

now desperately want to move on to dating from flirting.

To help young people of Korea with the perils of flirting,

we "Mark" them and observe them closely!

We're not exactly "Bridging Them Across Dating Markers."

But we're "Project: Bridging Them Over the Flirting Mishaps."

What? B-Bridging Them Over the Flirting Mishaps?

Well...

So this can...

quiet down the controversy from...

"Love Lines"?

Since we had a controversy over "Love Lines,"

nostalgic Young Shim and Kyung Tae will help the young people's flirts-

With the heart of...

encouraging their cute and young loves, we'll break through it!

CEO Wang...

did you agree to this?

Yes, well...

you might as well say I did.

Honestly...

I can't trust you.

But well...

I'll trust Kingvely, though.

I love you, Kingvely.

"Love Mark," let's go!

Jang Hwan...

sit down.

Excuse me, Chief.

Well, then, shall we go ahead and proceed with this project?

Proceed.

Really?

Yes! Proceed!

We did it!

♫ I want to see you, and I want to hear you ♫

♫ I want to go there ♫

Don't be too stiff, and let's do one fighting.

Fighting!

Fighting.

All right, but please get closer.

And face forward!

Don't lean on my back.

You stop leaning.

Well, please, looks more friendly and affectionate.

Especially CEO Wang, only your lips are smiling...

so you look too scary.

Please give me a smile. Smile.

We're working. Let's be professional.

- I'm being professional. - Repeat after me.

Salted by capitalism.

Salty smile.

Smile.

♫ Because you're not an adult yet ♫

All right! Let's be cute, lovely, and adorable.

Remember back when you were innocent!

Heart.

Heart.

Can't you seem a little more natural?

Should I smile more?

N-No, if you smile too much, your wrinkles...

Don't laugh!

What the hell? Why did you hit me?

You little! I had enough. I told you not to touch me!

Oh, yes, yes. You're looking great right now!

All right! Nice, nice!

Don't the two seem somewhat fitting?

Yes, their illustration styles are kind of similar.

What do you mean? They don't fit well at all.

What's wrong with you today?

Who are you?

Oh, I'm just a coworker.

A little more. Just a little.

Yes, you're doing great. Very nice!

♫ Try it ♫

["Love Mark"]

[If you want to kindle the dying fire of your flirt again...]

[If you don't have the courage or need a breakthrough...] [Post your story on our bulletin board.]

[Love Mark]

[I want to go out with my sunbae, who's in the same major...]

Hey, look at this. Why don't you apply?

What is it?

- This is called "Love Mark..." - It's really trending right now.

[Love Mark]

♫ We always fight when we meet ♫

♫ How can love form between us? ♫

♫ It's unfair how I've been waiting all this time ♫

♫ But why did you have to show up ♫ [Sending in a story]

What the heck?

We received this many?>

Yes.

So many people were accessing the page during the night that it froze.

As expected, Korea is sincere about its flirts.

It'd be daebak if the viewer rating is as high as the number of applicants.

That should be. I'll make sure it happens.

But Sunbae, when are we going to read all this?

Whoa...

This one can go out the window!

Pass, pass!

[I want to prove there's no border or bias in love.]

[Applicant Waiting Room]

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

I'm majoring in floriculture.

I'm currently working as a policeman.

I want to evolve into a mega-influencer from being a micro-influencer.

Please let me come out.

Rapper Baechu*. (Means cabbage)

You know me, right?

You don't, huh?

I'm 30 years old and...

Why does age matter in love? Is love a joke?

Gosh, mother-

Well, my name is Yeo Mi Ho, who is working as a reenactment actress.

By the way, this is all set up already, right?

I'll make sure everyone cries their eyes out with a first-love story with a terminal illness.

The performance fee can be negotiated.

They're all f***-

I've met someone I want to love before I die.

I'll be back after my divorce soon, so please pick my story.

Baechu will make sure to salt them all.

Yes... Today's meeting is-

Shit!

It looks like we're doomed. Are there more people for today?

Yes. We have one last applicant to interview.

Okay...

It looks like this gentleman will be a little different.

Next applicant, please come in.

- Oh, h-hello. - Hello.

Hi.

First, please introduce yourself to us.

Well, my name is Nam Ki Ho, a 37-year-old salaryman.

Yes. Thank you for your story you posted.

Yes.

Could you please tell us why you submitted your story in short?

Oh, yes. Well, the thing is...

Oh, well...

Sh-She is the kind of person who...

One moment, please! Wait for me!

One second! Wait! Please wait-

I have this one colleague at work.

Her name is Jung Yeo Wool.

Nice save.

We talk throughout our entire day at work.

[Yeo Wool: Did you see the OSN variety show last weekend?]

She gives snacks only to me.

We get off work together.

[Ki Ho: I think I did see that dating show.] We even eat meals together.

We also have a drink or two sometimes.

[Yeo Wool: Should we grab dinner after work later?] [Ki Ho: Yes! Go, go!]

You two drank alone, but nothing happened?

Couldn't it be she has a boyfriend she didn't tell you about?

No, she doesn't have one. I know this because...

I had asked her directly.

What could be the problem, then?

It has been two years like this without a-any change.

Two years?

Didn't you try asking her out or anything else from that point on?

No, I did. I did ask her out.

Yeo Wool even gave me a present on my birthday, so I said I'd buy dinner.

So that day, I mustered up all the courage I had.

Happy birthday, Ki Ho.

I bought one because I thought it would look good on you.

Aigoo, I'm sure you were busy, though.

Thank you so much for celebrating my birthday, Yeo Wool.

Gosh, don't mention it.

Aigoo, s-shall we toast?

Cheers.

- Oh, p-please give me your plate. - Oh, okay, here.

- I got it. - Okay.

- Please just give me a little. - Sure, sure.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Yeo Wool...

are you doing anything this Christmas?

This Christmas?

Yes. Would you like to go see a show with me on Christmas?

Oh, well...

that will be a bit difficult.

How come?

I believe in Buddhism, so I don't celebrate Christmas...

but Buddha's Birthday might be okay.

Asking to see on Christmas is the same as asking her out.

But you did that?

You shouldn't pressure the other person by going straightforward in this case.

But since Yeo Wool even gave him a birthday present, couldn't she also be interested in him?

It could be because she's overwhelmed by the idea of dating in the office.

I think that's when things started to get weird.

Well, then, wh-what about the weekends?

I need to go work out on the weekends.

Oh, what kind of exercise do you do?

Should we work out together, then?

I think that will be a little difficult.

What's the reason?

I work out by doing 3,000 bows on the weekends.

3,000 bows?

Yes.

You bow down 3,000 times?

I'm sure the mood was good before that point.

Please have some.

I never thought I'd be coming to a place like a broadcast station in my life.

I really considered myself crazy

when I applied, so, please...

P-please...

help me out.

Okay.

We'll contact you again after a careful review.

I really only worked all my life...

and really, without any reason...

I f-fell for her, really just for who she is.

For the first time in my life.

I really don't want to give up here.

Giving up at the appropriate time can also...

be helpful in regard to your entire life.

G-Giving up?

Ki Ho, w-we'll contact you.

Aigoo.

I've never heard of stronger friend zoning in my life.

Friend zone? Maybe she has her own circumstances?

Or there could be a problem with the applicant we don't know about.

Kyung Tae, what do you think?

- I oppose this. - Why?

Why are you like that only to Ki Ho's story?

The difficulty level doesn't even seem that high for this case.

Difficulty level?

This is a total mess right now.

How desperate must he have been to come all the way here?

He's way older than the program's target audience, and he looks old, too.

He doesn't suit our Kingvely's image.

And...

even if we proceed with this, he could end up getting hurt.

Yeah, there must be more fresh and fun stories.

But how desperate must he have been to come all the way here?

I also think there will be a lot of people who can relate to this story.

It's a waste of time.

I didn't come here to do charity work.

Why play a game that presents...

no probability of winning?

I don't know. I just want to cast this person, no matter what.

Advertising Kingvely is important, but I think sincerity comes first.

PD Oh Young Shim, I'm the one who holds the right...

to make the final decisions, didn't we say?

I'm the one.

How is it?

It's fine, right?

Wait, even I need to be a cast as well?

Since the idea itself was inspired, all thanks to Kingvely...

How is it? Don't you like the title?

"Love Mark."

"Love Mark..."

Please, Chief is going to change his mind after tomorrow.

There's a condition, then.

A condition?

I'll be the one with the final say in matters regarding the show.

Wait, that's a little too...

Even so, I'm the PD...

Right?

- Yeah. - It'll be hard, right?

Yeah.

It'll be hard.

I'm sure it'll be hard. Forget it.

Wait, Kyung Tae!

Here, here. Relax and lean back.

This is what CEOs do, right?

Yes. Right.

- This is why one becomes a CEO. - Seriously...

You become a CEO to do everything your way.

Right?

I-If you say so, I can't help it, then.

Sunbae?

But this is wrong.

CEO Wang says he's against it, so we can't help it.

All right, now!

Let's call it a day here.

Yes, thank you for your work.

Thank you for your work.

I f-fell for her really just for who she is.

For the first time in my life.

I really don't want to give up here.

Everyone's got a flirt or a date...

but what the heck am I doing?

I only work for other people's benefit, huh?

And also, you don't have to drop me off from now on.

It's tiring for you.

Don't give her any time for something to happen with Kyung Tae

and throw a lot of hints!

Understand?

No, Sunbae. I'm doing this because I want to.

You were stressed out a lot today because of CEO Wang, right?

Yeah...

That will be part of my daily life for a while now, just like the air I breathe.

If you have any problems in the future, you can tell me everything. I'll help you.

I heard we're having trouble recruiting the rest of the staff positions. Should I work on that?

No, no. It's okay. I'll take care of it.

Whoa, Chae Dong...

worrying about your Sunbae. You're all grown up!

I'm not a junior anymore.

I'm a man now, too, Sunbae.

Hey, what's with you?

- Sunbae... - Yes.

I'm now-

Take care.

PD Oh?

Let's have a word.

What, now?

Let's choose Ki Ho.

What?

You changed your mind? What made you change your mind?

I just feel like it.

Yay! In any case, we can help Ki Ho now, huh?

Yes! I'm so happy.

However, there's a problem we need to solve.

A problem?

Do you think you can cast Jung Yeo Wool?

I've already taken care of that.

If you come out on the show, it'll remain as a public record...

and there will be comments as well.

It might even become your permanent source of stress.

Will you be okay?

The reason we still came to see you

is because we want to create a good memory for you and Ki Ho.

Because I felt sincerity from Ki Ho.

Well...

Okay. I'll give it a shot.

Really?

Will you really be okay with this?

I think it'll also be a good memory for me.

Hello.

Hello!

You dressed the way you usually dress, right?

- Yes. - All right. Okay, I see.

We'll do a test photoshoot with our app if you can just stand over there.

Single untrendy outlet clothes that are optimized for the daily commute and overtime...

vague length of hair, grown to cover pimple scars and short chin,

slouched shoulders and tech neck.

[Templestay Date]

[Episode 1: Ki Ho - Yeo Wool, Templestay Date]

Oh Young Shim, let's really do this well this time.

- Sunbae. - Yeah.

The sun's going to set soon.

Oh, you're right.

CEO Wang and Ki Ho haven't arrived yet?

No, they said there's some traffic.

Then Team B should stand by here until Wol Suk and Yeo Wool arrive.

- Chae Dong and I will check the route. - Okay.

Let's go.

Whoa!

Daebak. Look at that sunset.

It's so pretty.

You made it, CEO Wang.

- Hello. - Oh?

- Wow. - Daebak.

Are you really Ki Ho?

Yes.

Where's PD Oh Young Shim?

Oh, she's inside checking the route.

Once Jeong Yeo Wool and Goo Wol Suk arrive,

we'll do the interview and head to the dorm.

If you wait here for a moment, we'll-

What's wrong?

My stomach hurt since a while back...

It must be because I'm nervous.

Where's the r-restroom?

Over there.

It's right there.

Excuse me.

Geez, now of all times?

I can relate to Ki Ho.

I also had a stomach ache before the concert and ended up being 30 minutes late.

Was that it?

I did officially ask her out after the concert ended.

And?

She said she'd think about it, but it's been days, and I haven't heard from her.

This is a bad sign, isn't it?

I told you, it's up to you now.

Whatever the result...

accept it.

I heard there's a wishing rock here.

Will making a wish make a difference?

Wishing rock?

That can't be real, though.

Gosh.

Sunbae, we need to prepare for the shoot first.

CEO Wang, you'll bring Ki Ho with you, right?

- I'll bring him with me. - Okay.

Then we'll head to Daeungjeon Hall first.

Come on, Sunbae. What's wrong with you? Stop.

Go.

Wishing rock?

Sunbae, watch out. There are many jagged stones. It's dangerous.

Oh, okay.

They say if you make a wish here, one wish will definitely come true.

Really?

If you make a wish and if Buddha here smiles,

it'll come true or something.

No way. You think that's possible?

I'm serious.

It's pretty popular, and people line up for the new year.

- Really? - Yeah.

Why isn't he coming out?

- Hello? - CEO Wang, I-

Hello?

- Hello? - Hello?

- CEO Wang. - Can you hear me?

Pardon me, but my phone service isn't good here.

Where can I go for a better signal?

If you go toward the wishing rock, it should be better.

Okay, thank you.

Done.

What did you wish for?

Hold on.

I need to check if Buddha is smiling or not.

It seems like he is...

or maybe he isn't...

I can't tell because it's dark.

What do you think?

I think...

he has a smile on his face.

- Really? - Yes.

This place must like me.

All right. I'll help you make your wish, too.

Go ahead and tell me.

- My wish? - Yeah.

I'll pray with you. I have a good feeling.

Hurry up and tell me.

Come on. Hurry up and tell me.

Come on-

Sunbae, I like you.

H-Huh?

My wish...

is for you to like me back.

Stop joking around-

♫ You've done great so far ♫

♫ I'll carry the burden on your shoulders with you from now on ♫

[Oh! Youngsim]

Don't scratch your head. Square your shoulders.

Why does it look so drab?

Weren't we a variety show, not a documentary?

That scared me.

Are you kidding me right now?

I've been too nice. What did you just say?

I want to use this chance to hit it off with Kyung Tae.

You'll support me, right?

Why should I?

User's excitement has been detected.

Excitement?

Use that timing to confess to her.

There's a high probability you'll succeed.
