-Hello.
-Hello.
Was it always like this,
or did you fix it up for the show?
-Yeah, we fixed it up.
-Wow.
It's really…
CHARLESENTER
.M YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS, ENFP
How do I put this?
It feels scaled down.
I like this better.
But you know what's special?
For most dating shows,
-the studio is really big.
-Yeah.
-And there's usually four or five hosts.
-Yeah.
-But it's just us two in this small den,
-That's right.
-which is unusual.
-Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's great.
I feel like it's a good setup
-for capturing our genuine reactions.
-Yeah.
-Like we're watching in our little room.
-Yes.
I also think it's special
that we're a two-person panel.
And the premise of our show
is also really unique.
What is the premise?
What's the title of the show?
-
The Love Lab
. Yeah.
-That's right.
-As the title suggests,
-Yes?
it started with a question
about whether love can bloom
in a unique situation
you wouldn't encounter in real life.
But what kind of unique situation?
The thing is, I don't know either.
I wanted my reactions
to be as genuine as possible.
So I don't know anything
besides the title.
All we know is the title,
The Love Lab
.
Yeah, it's called
The Love Lab
.
-Most dating shows have one format.
-That's right.
But our show introduces
different "experiment formats"
-over the course of one season,
-Okay.
-so things move pretty quickly.
-I see.
That's what sets us apart.
So, honestly, it's fine
if Episode One is kind of boring.
-No, it's not!
-I just mean--
-It has to be entertaining!
-But listen.
Of course, but let's say
the show only had one format.
If you don't like the first episode,
you would stop watching, right?
-But we keep switching up the format.
-Right.
-So, even if you don't like one format…
-I see.
It's like this.
"Here's a selection of formats.
One of them must be to your liking."
-It's like a buffet.
-It's buffet-style.
-I like that.
-Yeah.
-Press this any time to pause.
-Okay.
I feel nervous!
-This is Episode One.
-It's the first episode.
-Oh my god!
-It's the first screening.
Let's go!
The first Love Lab experiment is
"Blind Date in a Bed."
Wait a minute. Hang on.
What's wrong with you?
What kind of format is this?
-It's just my style.
-What?
What kind of format is this?
Isn't it a bit too hardcore
from the get-go?
It won't get too steamy, will it?
-This is Netflix, after all.
-Yeah…
Is this R-rated?
I think they meet
for the first time lying on a bed.
Oh my gosh!
Why would you do an experiment like this?
Wait. So they're lying on a bed…
Wait. Hang on.
There's only one set of covers, right?
-Probably.
-Just one set.
It's so weird.
-It's strange.
-It's so weird.
Yeah, it's weird.
So weird.
-Shall we keep watching?
-Yeah, let's.
"Blind date in a bed"?
The first Love Lab experiment is
"Blind Date in a Bed."
What if complete strangers
went on a blind date
in the same bed for three nights?
Wearing pajamas and no makeup,
they must interact only in the bed.
If a man and a woman
meet for the first time
in their most relaxed state
with their guards down,
will they be able to fall in love?
BLIND DATE IN A BED
I don't know. I'm at a loss for words.
I'm not sure either.
-On other dating shows,
-Yeah?
the participants sometimes
spend a night in bed together,
-but it's just a fraction of the show.
-Right.
-It'd only be for a minute of the episode.
-Yeah.
I don't think I've ever seen
two people interact in a bed
for the whole thing.
-Here's what I want to know.
-Okay.
-Do they meet on the bed?
-Yes.
And without makeup.
-Isn't showing your bare face
-Yeah, that's…
a bit too much pressure?
But a bit of BB cream is okay, right?
-Sun BB cream?
-Please say yes.
Oh, come on. At least let them have that.
-Shall we keep watching?
-Okay.
This is fun.
What do we do? It's too fun!

CAN YOU FALL IN LOVE
WITH A STRANGER YOU MEET IN A BED?
SUBJECT
PARK CHAN-YANG
Let us introduce…
Why is his name…
His name is…
He could be my brother, you see.
I feel an affinity with him.
Like, "Hey, Chan-yang."
I'm guessing he's a Christian.
If the blind date doesn't work out,
maybe I could date him.
He has a very Christian name,
but this date starts in a bed.
That's a bit…
It's unusual.
It's a bit strange.
His name has star quality.
I know. "Gospel Park."
From now on, I'll call Chan-yang
-Gospel Park.
-Yeah? All right.
I'll call him G.P. for short.
-From his name… It's so funny.
-What a fun start.
-Let's quickly keep watching.
-Okay.
-Let us introduce the premise to you.
-Okay.
It's a "Blind Date in a Bed."
Sorry?
Is this show
R-rated?
A date in bed?
It's a blind date
that takes place entirely in bed.
A blind date in bed…
"If two people meet
in a completely relaxed
and unguarded state,
can they form a deeper connection?"
That's the question
behind this experiment.
When you say "unguarded,"
you don't mean
-we have to be naked, right?
-No.
That's not it.
-Definitely not.
-I'm a bit thrown.
We just mean, like,
right before you go to sleep…
So, in a relaxed outfit,
in that atmosphere and state of mind…
But you have to sleep for real.
And when you wake up in the morning,
you'll both go to work as usual.
I think in that kind
of unusually comfortable setting,
I'll be able to show
my true self more naturally.
So, that's really got me hooked.
But I'm worried for the other person.
She might feel a bit uncomfortable.
She has tattoos on her fingers.
She's got a tough girl vibe.
-She's very alluring.
-She is.
Her look is very striking.
-The premise we have in mind
-Yes?
is a "Blind Date in a Bed."
What?
Come again? What does that mean?
You share a bed?
It's not like…
Not like two beds pushed together?
-You're just in the same bed?
-Yes.
There's no divider?
It sounds like fun.
I think it could be fun, but…
Honestly, it's hard to picture
two strangers lying in bed together.
I think I need to give it some thought.
-Have a think about it.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
MYUNG-JU WAS HESITANT ABOUT PARTICIPATING
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO PARTICIPATE?
I was just a bit thrown
by the mention of a bed.
But I'm curious
how the conversation will go
if I can let go
of the persona or image
I try to project out in the world
and be my most relaxed self in bed.
And I think it will be fun in many ways.
There we go.
I showered and got into bed,
and as I waited for her to arrive,
I felt really nervous and excited.
I picked up on every little sound.
But as more time passed,
I started to tune out the sounds…
and I felt a force
pulling me deeper into the bed.
Please…
I'm so sleepy.
I started feeling
more relaxed than nervous.
And I fell asleep before I knew it.
SUBJECT HAS CHECKED IN
Suddenly, I heard the door open.
So I thought,
"Is she here?"
"Or not?"
"Or was what I heard in my dream?"
As soon as I walked in,
I saw a dressing area.
It was filled with bold-colored shirts.
They were colorful but casual.
It made me curious
about what kind of person he would be
because my style is the complete opposite.
I thought,
"We might be a little too different."
FAST ASLEEP
-Hello.
-Oh, hello.
You surprised me.
Hello.
Hello.
I see you were asleep. Hello.
Please come on in.
Hello.
-Hello.
-What's with the stuffy?
I sleep on my side, so I get back pain.
-Oh, do you?
-So, I sleep with this between my legs.
Gosh. Hello.
This is so embarrassing.
Oh my gosh. This is t*rture.
But I kind of want to try it.
Hear that?
-You should participate in Season Two.
-Yeah.
-Experience it for yourself.
-Okay.
-Hello.
-This is really…
So you were asleep.
I woke up when I heard the door open,
and she came in hugging a stuffy
like a little child,
peering at me with this innocent smile.
But when I thought
about how I looked in that moment,
I had just woken up,
and my hair was all messed up,
which isn't how you should look
when meeting someone for the first time,
so I was really embarrassed.
He seemed to have been asleep.
He really was half-asleep
and totally relaxed
when I first met him.
You don't get someone
who is half-asleep with bed hair
on any other blind dates.
Right?
Hello.
I feel like it could be kind of exciting.
-Yeah, the vibe is…
-I sense some tension here.
It's pretty good.
It's kind of in reverse order.
Normally, you go on a date first…
-Yeah, exactly.
-Right?
This stage usually comes later
as the relationship develops.
It's a question of "Would You Rather?"
More butterflies when your partner
dresses down for the first time
-or when they dress up for the first time?
-Dress up. Right.
-They've seen each other dressed down.
-Right.
-So when they dress up,
-Get glammed up…
they'll be like,
"I didn't expect this side of them."
And feel more drawn in.
I can definitely see that happening.
You're finished washing up, right?
Yes.
By any chance,
have you eaten?
I had a bagel earlier.
How about you? I'm guessing you're hungry.
I thought we could
eat together if you were hungry.
If you're up for it…
Hang on.
We got a text message.
What does it say?
READ THE RULE CARD IN THE DRAWER
YOU CANNOT DISCLOSE YOUR AGE OR PROFESSION
Hold on.
It says to talk…
Oh, gosh.
A rule card?
-It says there's a rule card.
-I found it!
You see it, right?
BLIND DATE IN A BED
RULE CARD
. YOU CANNOT TALK TO EACH OTHER
OUTSIDE OF THE BED
. BREAKFAST WILL BE PREPARED FOR YOU
PLEASE GET READY BY AM
I guess we'd have to go there.
Where do we start?
Firstly,
since we've just met…
But since we can't reveal
our age or jobs…
Did you work today?
-Yes.
-Really?
What about you?
Yes, I did.
When I got in the bed,
my hands and feet got so sweaty.
We just met, but I was in pajamas,
and I'd washed my makeup off,
but we needed to have a conversation,
but I wanted to hide my face.
I thought, "I'm in trouble."
But weirdly,
the vibe seems pretty good between them.
We have to spend
three nights together here.
Yes.
Don't you think it will be fun?
-On one hand, I think it will be fun,
-Right.
but I do feel a bit pressured.
-Because--
-In what way?
This whole setup, I mean.
I don't really know what to do.
I honestly didn't expect this.
I actually put a lot of effort
into my makeup this morning.
I also didn't expect
to greet you half-asleep.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
She just seemed really down-to-earth.
She had a clean vibe,
and she seemed grounded…
I couldn't help but smile
because she naturally
radiated a very positive energy.
That was my first impression.
He's into her.
He can't stop smiling.
And he laughs so loudly
when it's not that funny.
-Right.
-It's a sign that he's in love.
First impression…
I'm not sure.
He just seemed so relaxed
as if he'd just had a very good sleep.
If I'd met him when he was
fully awake and put together,
I'd have a clearer impression.
But I feel like we skipped
the first-impression stage.
FIRST IMPRESSION: N/A
I don't think she's into him.
That's not it.
No, she's not into him.
-Right now--
-She said he didn't make an impression.
They'll spend
three nights and four days together.
It's too soon for us to
-All right.
-jump to conclusions.
-For real…
-Can I ask how tall you are?
You seem…
This is so cliché,
but I want to answer with a question.
"How tall do I look?"
It's such a cliché reply but…
I'm guessing cm?
Taller or shorter?
Shorter.
-Shorter?
-Yes.
Are you cm tall?
I'm cm tall.
-You're cm tall?
-Yes.
You seemed taller than you actually are.
I have broad shoulders.
-That's a plus.
-Since they're so wide,
I think it makes me look taller.
How tall are you?
I am…
It's a bit cliché but…
All right, I'll try to guess.
I'm guessing cm.
Taller.
In that case…
- cm.
-I…
-Taller.
-Huh!
In that case…
I'm cm tall.
Wow, you're really tall.
I'm taller than you'd think.
Maybe I don't look that way, though.
-No, that's not why I guessed shorter.
-I just mean…
Honestly, when I first saw you,
you were wandering around in a daze,
so I noticed you were tall, but…
What's your MBTI?
You seem like an extrovert.
I'm guessing EN…
TP?
Why would you guess that?
It's just…
I feel like we have
different personalities,
and you seem like an imaginative person.
You guessed my MBTI
would be the opposite of yours?
Yeah.
I'm actually ENT…
But I switch between P and J.
-So you're either P or J?
-Yeah.
Does that mean you are IS--
I'm ESFJ.
-ESFJ?
-Yeah.
-What?
-Why say it like,
"ESFJ"?
I was thinking.
-Oh, no!
-It's very similar to mine.
Their middle letters are different.
This is bad. The middle ones should match.
An ESFJ and an ENTP.
It's not easy
for an SF and an NT to get along.
-Really?
-That's what I hear.
Why is that?
They say you're more compatible
when the middle letters match.
And it's better
if the first and last are different.
-But let's see how it goes.
-Yes.
-No need to get too hung up on MBTI.
-That's right.
F…
-In my case,
-Yes?
on the T scale, I am…
You're at the top of the scale?
Oh, no. That's not good.
I don't think I'm that bad.
But in terms of percentages,
it's about percent.
It says room service runs until : p.m.
-Really?
-How about it? Are you hungry?
I'm not hungry,
but my stomach
might rumble in my sleep.
I've barely eaten today.
"If you want to order…"
"Potato pancakes."
What was that?
They have potato pancakes and…
What the heck?
To be honest, nothing's happening,
so adding this kind of music is a bit…
Why put it over potato pancakes?
That's what I'm saying.
-"Potato pancakes."
-"Potato pancakes."
Right? We're not…
We're not rolling like that.
We'll keep calling this stuff out.
They have potato pancakes and…
I started to feel
a bit nervous again at that moment.
Why would he get nervous
over potato pancakes?
Because they got close, so…
-Let me take a guess.
-Okay.
He could smell her hair treatment.
-When he smelled her fragrance,
-Okay.
it made his heart race.
-He liked her scent?
-Yeah.
Men are sensitive to scents.
I started to feel
a bit nervous again at that moment.
I told myself to just relax.
Curry…
Cheese pie?
What are you craving?
I kind of want some fruit.
Something fruity or…
-Potato pancakes?
-Yes.
Do you have any sleeping habits?
-I snore when I'm really tired.
-Okay.
But I think that's it.
I don't do anything in my sleep,
but I am a really deep sleeper.
That's a good thing.
You might get angry tomorrow morning.
TAP TAP TAP
Honestly, even if I set my alarm,
-But you know…
-my eyes-- Yes?
We don't know each other's names.
Oh, are we allowed to say our names?
I was just so out of it when we first met.
-I'll go first.
-Please do.
My name is Park Chan-yang.
-Park Chan-yang?
-Yes.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Kim Myung-ju.
-Myung-ju?
-Yes.
Kim Myung-ju.
Park Chan-yang.
I think we should
talk casually to each other.
I think that will be better.
-Talk casually?
-Yeah.
Is that cool?
You've already started!
Sure. Let's talk casually.
What time do you usually go to bed?
I don't have a set routine.
Really?
My work doesn't have a set routine.
-Really?
-Yeah.
When it comes to sleeping,
I have a pretty serious issue.
I have really bad insomnia.
So, I take sleeping pills.
It's been about seven years,
or a bit less than that.
Maybe six years.
I've switched over to melatonin now.
I need to sleep,
but the pressure makes it even harder.
Falling asleep is really hard,
but once I'm asleep,
I don't hear anything.
Nothing can wake me up.
I haven't slept properly in a few days.
Over the last four days,
I've had less than five hours of sleep.
I actually need to get back to work now.
Yeah, I need to work.
MYUNG-JU HAS INSOMNIA
Then, if you need to leave
-early in the morning,
-Yeah.
it must be hard for you.
It depends on the pressure I'm feeling.
Even today,
I came really early.
-Here?
-Yeah.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-In case I was late…
-Just in case…
Yeah.
Just in case I was late.
My nervousness level varies.
How nervous do I make you?
When it comes to relationships…
No, I mean me specifically.
Did he prepare that line?
Where did that come from?
I think Chan-yang's a bit hasty.
I can't believe he said that.
Yeah. It's too soon to flirt.
-"How nervous do I make you?"
-I know.
And he should have let it go
when she didn't respond,
but he had to repeat it and double down.
What can you say to that?
I'd be like, "What are you on about?"
-I think that's how I'd respond.
-Right.
How nervous do I make you?
When it comes to relationships…
No, I mean me specifically.
-That's tough.
-For example,
If I said…Your name is Myung-ju, right?
Hang on.
It was Myung…
Myung…
Jeez, Chan-seong.
Wait. Hang on.
Myung…
Kim Myung…
Is it "Ji"?
Come on, Chan-wook.
I'm really bad at memorizing names.
I am too, actually.
Kim Myung-ju is right.
Oh, man.
You threw me.
-You were right.
-I was so flustered.
Can I hold your stuffy?
It's a bit worn out.
-Honestly, when I sleep,
-But--
I keep it right between my legs.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I need something between my legs,
but a pillow doesn't work.
Don't use me by accident instead
while you're sleeping.
Sorry, but I think I'll sleep
with my back to you.
Let's sleep back-to-back today.
All right.
I'm curious…
The food's here!
ROOM SERVICE HAS ARRIVED
Bon appétit.
Please enjoy.
-Is it good?
-Yeah.
I think it would be nice
to walk around this area.
-This area?
-Yeah.
It'd be nice to take a stroll.
What is it?
You didn't see it, right?
No.
-"Now, you can disclose your professions."
-Really?
But we can't reveal our age.
Okay. This is great.
Can I try to guess?
You seem like…
My first guess was flight attendant.
-Really?
-But as we talked, I figured you're not.
So I thought about it
and landed on hair stylist…
-or something like that.
-Yeah.
-First, I'll guess your job.
-Okay.
-I'll tell you what I think suits you.
-Sure.
Firefighter? It suits you.
-It suits you.
-Really?
I am
a track-and-field athlete.
Really?
I'm a professional athlete.
I'm on the Hwaseong City Hall Team,
and I'm the captain
of the men's sprint team.
I specialize in the m race.
I compete regularly
in individual and relay events,
and I've won multiple titles
at the National Sports Festival.
I want to keep challenging myself
to become an athlete who breaks
a new personal record every season.
TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE
PARK CHAN-YANG
How many meters?
Four hundred meters.
It's interesting, right?
She seemed surprised.
But I don't think she was
pleasantly surprised.
-She didn't?
-If she was impressed,
she'd have been like,
"Really? No way. That's so cool."
But she reacted like this.
She was thinking it over.
She's not sure
what to make of it.
She could be thinking,
"That's pretty good."
-No.
-No?
It's not bad, but it's not great.
He doesn't get bonus points for it.
Okay.
Here's how girls react
when they're impressed.
"Are you serious? No way."
That's how most girls react?
Yeah, girls do this if a guy says
he's a doctor or a lawyer.
"Are you serious?" That's how they react.
Regarding my occupation,
she wanted to believe I was a firefighter.
So I wondered if it made me
seem like less of a catch
when I told her that I'm an athlete.
I worried a little about that.
So I decided I'd have to try harder
to impress her.
I'm an athlete, after all.
So maybe I could run with her on my back.
It was unexpected.
You have to be very fit for that job.
He just looked very healthy.
CHAN-YANG'S OCCUPATION
HE LOOKED HEALTHY (?)
Now, I'll reveal what I do for a living.
-Yeah, go on.
-I work
in the design industry.
I specialize in clothing.
-Really? You work in fashion?
-Yeah.
My main specialty
is stage outfit design.
-Stage outfits?
-Yes.
For celebrities?
-You work with K-pop idols?
-Yeah.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I'm running a stage outfit brand
called Maison de Vynn.
Recently, I designed outfits
for the girl group HeartsHearts
for the cover of their album
, Rude,
and stage performances.
In addition to stage garments,
I've designed clothing
for TV series, films, and commercials
for various artists to wear.
I want to create outfits
across a wider range of genres
and expand into new areas
while showcasing my own unique style.
CEO OF DESIGN BRAND MAISON DE VYNN
KIM MYUNG-JU
That's so cool.
I hope she'll make garments for MONSTA X.
That explains her sleep pattern.
Stylists have really crazy hours.
So my sleep pattern is
all over the place.
I found it really fascinating,
and since my whole life
has been about sports,
I feel drawn to people
in unfamiliar fields,
so I felt even more attracted to her.
You can't tell since I'm in my pajamas,
but when I go outside,
I dress up very nicely.
I'm very stylish.
I'd like to see that.
Looking stylish is my goal.
-It's really…
-But honestly,
I like my job. It's fun.
-You enjoy it?
-Yeah.
How long has it been since you last dated?
The last time was
last year in November.
-November last year?
-Yeah.
Why? Is it similar for you?
No.
-But the way you laughed…
-Yeah?
It felt like there was
a meaning behind it.
Was it this time last year?
This time last year?
Don't be too surprised.
It's been over five years.
What?
I think it's been over six years.
That's such a long time.
You see, I think Chan-yang is
younger than her.
He clearly looks younger.
-You think so?
-Yeah.
But seeing how Myung-ju
hasn't dated in six years,
I don't think she's
that desperate for a relationship.
So she needs a guy like Chan-yang
who will follow her around like a puppy
until she's like, "Fine. I'll date you."
If she's far away,
he'd go to her like a puppy
sprinting down the track.
Including their looks,
I think they're a good match so far.
Yeah, it's not a bad match.
-I like that he's the F and she's the T,
-It works.
-and that she's older.
-Totally.
Even though we don't
actually know how old they are yet.
I like where this is going.
It's been over six years.
It's close to six years
or it could've been longer.
It might be longer.
Honestly,
the six-year gap
left a big impression on me.
It's such a long time.
I wondered what the reason could be.
I felt very taken aback.
So…
So you are willing to date
if you meet the right person, right?
Of course.
As a prospective partner,
I think I gave him some concerns.
He probably felt a lot of pressure
about the six-year gap in my dating life.
Or he might have thought
I'm hurt and broken.
DO YOU FEEL ATTRACTED TO THE OTHER PERSON?
IF YOU DO, TEXT "YES"
IF NOT, TEXT "NO" AND EXPLAIN WHY
YOUR DATE WILL NOT SEE YOUR REPLY
I think he is attracted,
-but she isn't yet.
-She's not. I agree.
YES
SHE SEEMS INTROSPECTIVE AND SELF-AWARE
One of the main reasons was that…
She may have talked
about the six-year gap like it's nothing,
but during those years,
she must have overcome a lot on her own.
And if she was able to do that,
it must mean she's strong and resilient,
so I thought she's a catch.
I strained my ears
because I could hear her typing,
but it was such a long reply.
I hoped it would be
a positive reply since we'd only just met.
NO
WE'RE BOTH TOO TIRED FOR A DEEP CHAT
I THINK IT WILL FEEL DIFFERENT TOMORROW
WHEN WE'RE MORE REFRESHED
See?
It's as we expected.
Myung-ju's not attracted.
But even though he's younger,
Chan-yang might show her
-a more mature side of him later on.
-Right.
And that could sway her.
But for now, he seems a bit too young.
It's attractive when someone
defies age stereotypes.
If a younger guy feels too young,
it isn't very attractive.
I'm an expert, right?
I was so tired.
And since I was so tired,
it felt like the conversation
wasn't getting deeper.
Have you ever cried
while watching a movie?
I want to say something with substance,
-but I can't bring up the key stuff.
-Right.
This is really…
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME
TO HAVE A DEEP CONVERSATION
My eyes are starting to get heavy.
-You're sleepy?
-I'm starting to feel a bit…
I'd better take these pills,
brush my teeth, and sleep.
May I come in?
Yes, come on in.
I set three alarms to be considerate.
For what time?
One for : a.m.,
and another for : a.m.
You'd better go to sleep quickly.
Why?
I'm so sleepy.
Shall I turn the light off?
Let's go to sleep.
-I…
-Do you not need this pillow?
No.
It's too high for me.
This is… Wait a minute.
Hang on.
Gospel Park
has chosen to lie down
facing Myung-ju.
Also, I've never seen someone
sleep in that position.
-That's not what's important right now.
-Okay.
Where is he facing?
He's facing Myung-ju.
He's showing that he's interested.
-The problem is that it's awkward for her.
-How so?
We already know she has trouble sleeping.
How can she sleep
with him looking at her like that?
He could just look at her
while lying on his back. But why…
That's even scarier!
No, I mean… It's not…
"Do I make you nervous?"
-That could be worse.
-But that's…
That's quite awkward.
I'm surprisingly bad at falling asleep.
I'm a very sensitive sleeper.
Really?
It's the first time in ages
I've felt sleepy at a.m.
Do you know why?
Because you're with me.
I'm so sleepy.
-I mean…
-Sorry.
Is it tiring to be with me?
No, that's not the problem.
Just wait until we find out
each other's age.
Take a guess. How old do you think I am?
I'm sure you are four years younger.
-Younger?
-Yeah.
I think
you're
younger than me.
I think you're way off.
-Really?
-Yeah. Way off.
Have you mostly dated
older or younger women?
I've mostly dated women younger than me.
I am certain he's younger than me.
I think the first meeting
left a strong impression.
You know, him looking groggy
with his hair sticking up
because he'd just woken up.
He seemed like
a little boy at that moment.
When we disclose our ages,
I think he'll be surprised.
Seriously.
You're sleepy, aren't you?
You're getting sleepy, right?
Not at all.
You're sleepy too, right?
What's with the medication?
These aren't sleeping pills.
It's melatonin.
Here you go.
-I figured it out.
-What?
-I figured out why I'm sleepy.
-Why?
I already took these.
-Oh, that's right.
-I took melatonin before we talked.
Yeah, I saw you take them earlier.
No wonder.
I was sleepy for a reason.
I thought it was oddly sudden.
Most days when I'm tired,
I think, "I'm sleepy,"
and then I'm out in ten seconds.
I just thought that was normal.
Of course,
you fall asleep if you're tired.
So when I saw her having to take pills,
it made me quite worried.
Good night, Chan-yang.
Good night, Myung-ju.
-"Good night Chan-yang and Myung-ju."
-But look at that.
She's facing him.
They're facing each other!
I'd better sleep for real.
As I was just about to fall asleep,
the silence and the sound of her breathing
made my heart flutter.
She was lying with her eyes closed,
and she looked so comfortable.
So I thought,
"I guess she feels at ease now."
It was a relief.
And I felt like we bonded
a lot in one day.
I think I was
naturally drawn in by her charm.
She said she was bad at getting up,
so I planned to wake her up,
but she really wouldn't budge.
I kept trying to think of a way
to wake her up without distressing her.
Myung-ju.
This is so cringe.
"Myung-ju."
That's like
about ten years ago…
I feel like
I saw this scene in a TV show.
-It was…
-"Myung-ju."
-"Charles."
-Oh, gosh.
How do I put this?
It's like when my grandma
visits in a dream.
-"Myung-ju."
-"My sweet girl."
-"My baby."
-"My sweet Myung-ju."
What is he doing?
Who taught him how to date?
I can't watch. It's too cringe.
Let's see what happens.
I'm so curious.
What's wrong with him?
Just tap her shoulder.
Myung-ju.
You need to go to work.
Myung-ju.
Hey, Myung-ju.
Myung-ju.
It's time to go to work.
I guess you could feel butterflies
if someone does that to you.
-If someone strokes your head?
-You think so?
-It's awkward for us since we're viewers.
-Yeah.
But my heart would race
if it happened to me.
If someone went, "Charles."
"Charles."
No, they'd call me Chan-mi.
-"Chan-mi."
-"Hey, Chan-mi."
"Chan-mi."
"You need to go to work."
I'm not sure actually.
I wish I could experience it.
You need to go to work.
My hair looks ridiculous.
LOST IN THOUGHT
Myung-ju.
Oh my.
-That's so sweet.
-Very sweet.
Yeah, that's a nice move.
He didn't try to rush her
-and force her to get up.
-No.
He encouraged her with an action.
-That was very sweet of him.
-Yeah, it was.
It could work
since he's good at sleeping and waking up,
and she finds it hard to do both.
Oh my.
Hurry and get up.
NODDING OFF
The toothpaste is dripping!
Myung-ju, you're spilling toothpaste.
I'm just kidding.
You need to quickly
put it in your mouth.
I vaguely heard him calling my name.
I think he called me
and gently patted my head.
He was trying to nudge me awake,
but when that didn't work,
he put the toothbrush in my hand.
My first memory of this morning
is a pretty good one.
I was happy I could take care of her.
I fall asleep and get up really easily,
so I can help her out in that department,
and I hope that boosts my appeal.
My eyes are so puffy.
Why did you hit me?
You hit me in your sleep, didn't you?
Sorry. I have a bad sleeping habit.
Enough!
Please.
Make it stop.
Do you have time to eat breakfast?
I think it said we just need
to get there for a.m.
By a.m.? Okay.
Hang on.
Wait. Why are you getting back in?
I need a moment.
Just give me ten more minutes.
Did you sleep okay, by the way?
-I'm still not fully awake!
-But I mean,
did I snore or anything?
Did you snore?
I wouldn't know.
I was just wondering.
I woke up briefly because I got a bit hot,
and I noticed she was kind of far away,
with her back to me.
So I was worried I snored too loudly
or did something
to make her uncomfortable.
But when I asked her in the morning,
she said she slept well,
so I felt very relieved.
I slept so well.
It took me by surprise.
I was really worried,
but I slept so comfortably.
All right.
Ready to go?
Yes.
Shall we take a selfie together
every morning before we go out?
-Shall we?
-A mirror selfie.
-Sure!
-Hang on.
This spot is well-lit.
One, two, three.
I can say for certain
that when we woke up in the morning,
it felt like we grew a lot closer
compared to the night before,
when we spent
only a few hours together.
I felt very comfortable around him.
BREAKFAST IS READY
IF YOU WANT BREAKFAST,
COME OUT OF THE ROOM HOLDING HANDS
COME TO THE RESTAURANT ON THE THIRD FLOOR
YOU MUST BE HOLDING HANDS TO ENTER
"Hold hands…"
It says we need to hold hands.
Let's go.
"If you want breakfast,
come out of the room holding hands…"
I wondered if we had
to leave the room holding hands
or just hold hands when we got
to the door of the restaurant.
All sorts of thoughts
crossed my mind at that moment.
"Come to the restaurant
on the third floor…"
Honestly,
a part of me was cheering, "Yes!"
-Let's go.
-Okay.
-I'm so hungry right now.
-Tell me about it.
Rest comfortably, bunny.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Let's get going.
Okay.
Here we go.
Let's go.
Third floor.
Let's hold hands like this.
-Like this?
-Yeah, this way.
-Like this.
-Yeah.
-They nearly intertwined fingers!
-They did.
They almost did.
-But they didn't.
-Oh, they didn't.
They were going to.
They were about to…
-They were going to but…
-But Myung-ju changed it up.
They were close to doing it,
but she changed it up like this.
I think they'll do it tomorrow.
Their height difference is crazy.
He's a head taller.
-Like this?
-Yeah, this way.
-Like this.
-Yeah.
It felt
like my heart was going to burst.
I was a bit worried she would notice
how flustered I was.
Gosh, he's so tall.
It's like they're on a holiday together.
-Guess what's wild?
-That's the vibe.
Myung-ju just got butterflies.
Do you see her face?
She didn't notice when they were in bed,
-but she's drawn to his great physique.
-Exactly.
Okay, good.
Look at that smile! She's smitten.
This must be the place.
Wow, nice plates.
SERASÉ
BISTRONOMY
Let's enjoy.
Yes, let's dig in.
Western food is the clear winner.
Korean food is the clear winner.
Good.
All right. Let me try this first.
How is it?
Try a taste.
What's the best way to do this?
It's really good. Try it.
-Right?
-Wow.
It's like my mom's seaweed soup.
Have you ever felt this?
-When a soup is really tasty,
-Yeah?
sometimes, I kind of wish
I could jump into the soup and like…
I want to melt into it
like I'm in a sauna.
I want to jump into this seaweed soup.
It's so warm.
-You're getting dangerously close to it.
-Yeah.
Myung-ju said
she wanted to jump into the seaweed soup
because it was so warm and tasty.
I got a bit worried.
"She must be feeling cold."
"I should take care of her."
-He worries a lot.
-Yeah.
Do you think that's a sign of interest?
She's constantly on his mind.
He worries because he likes her.
-Why would he care otherwise?
-Of course.
The fact that I want to do things for her
must be a sign that I'm into her
and that I want to make a good impression.
So I keep worrying about her
and wanting to take care of her.
I'm trying to focus
more on these feelings.
-Are you eating?
-Yeah.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
I don't have an easy stomach right now.
-Really?
-Yeah.
That's not good. I feel so comfortable.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-I think I'm just nervous.
-Nervous?
-I guess I still make you nervous.
-Yeah.
And we're in an unfamiliar environment.
It's because we held hands, right?
I was a bit surprised
that we had to hold hands
if we wanted to eat.
Since you're an athlete,
I thought your hands
would be kind of rough,
but your hand was so soft.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I think my hands are rougher.
So you were nervous?
-Oh, man.
-You'll give me indigestion.
Hurry up and eat.
It feels like I'll get indigestion.
By the way, you really are
-bad at waking up.
-I do really struggle.
How do you get by?
If it's that bad, you should have
someone by your side.
-I can't wake up.
-For example, me.
Why is he being like this?
Is that just how he usually acts?
He flirts like it's nothing.
The fact that he can say things like that
-is fascinating.
-But…
-If it were me,
-Yeah.
if the guy is so flirtatious like that
when we've only
known each other for barely a day,
I'd think he could flirt
like that with any girl.
That's what I'd think.
I wouldn't find it attractive.
Yeah, and right now,
Myung-ju doesn't seem
-very interested in him yet.
-Exactly.
He's moving far too quickly.
He is. And he's being too jokey.
That's right.
How do you get by?
If it's that bad, you should have
someone by your side.
-I can't wake up.
-For example, me.
For example, me.
I mean because I'd be good
at waking you up.
It feels like a bit much.
We only talked for a few hours yesterday,
but from the moment
we got up this morning,
he's suddenly been acting so forward.
I can't tell if he's seriously interested
or if it's just meaningless flirting.
This is what I'm saying.
But it could be his way
of expressing his interest,
and I just keep having my guard up.
-It's nerve-wracking.
-It was the first night, after all.
You slept with your back to me.
-Did I?
-You were close to falling off the edge.
That's how far away you were.
I think it's just out of habit.
I find it more comfortable
to turn over that way.
He said he was upset
that I slept with my back to him.
I wasn't sure how I should react.
I'm just saying
because I want you to sleep well,
but if I made you uncomfortable…
I wasn't uncomfortable at all.
It's just been
too long since I've had
conversations like this,
so I didn't know how to talk.
But that's just how my mind works.
Even if something good happens,
I consider the bad scenario first.
I'm a very cautious person.
So if I don't feel sure of something,
I try to be careful with my words.
I have a big appetite,
-even though I can't eat that much.
-Really?
You should eat with me, then.
I can't eat a lot.
I can help you finish off your food.
But my mouth… What's the word?
-You
are
hearing what I say, right?
-Yeah.
I just feel shy, you know.
Why do you keep…
I'm pretending I didn't hear it.
So?
Yeah, right.
I'm full.
I don't think I can get up.
-I'm full.
-I'll help you. Give me your hand.
All right.
I'm so full.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
-Room .
-I'm cold.
-Let's go in.
-Yes.
Enter, my lady.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
No problem.
I'll see you after work.
Have a good day.
-See you later.
-Okay.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Good luck at work.
You too.
Good day. See you later.
-See you in a bit.
-Okay.
CHAN-YANG IS OFF TO TRAINING
I'm a bit worried
because my feelings
have grown so much in just one day,
so I'm a bit worried
about how much deeper
my feelings might grow.
"Is it possible to like someone
this much after just one day?"
I have been asking myself that.
But I guess
it is possible.
I wasn't entirely happy about yesterday.
I found it hard to look him in the eyes
because he reminded me of someone.
He looks so much like my dad.
-He looks like her dad?
-Her dad?
She said he looks like
her dad when he was younger.
When a girl thinks a guy
looks like a younger version of her dad,
I think it's typical to feel
more drawn to the guy.
I'd be more drawn to a girl
who looks like my mom.
I want to talk to him more tonight
and get a little bit deeper.
I feel more motivated
to find out more about him.
I'm more curious
about what kind of guy he is.
MYUNG-JU IS OFF TO WORK
I'm back.
She propped it up here.
TAP TAP
I guess Myung-ju isn't back yet.
Since the space
is just for Myung-ju and I,
the place felt a bit empty without her.
I was counting down until she came.
"When is she coming? I hope it's soon."
I wanted to see her.
Do I need a light trim?
Myung-ju!
-Did you have a good day?
-Yeah.
-What's that?
-It's apple-beet juice
in case you get thirsty later.
I love it.
He's an athlete,
so I thought juice
would be better than coffee.
I'd better wash up too.
-You're going to wash up?
-Yeah.
-Right now?
-Yeah.
No…
-Why not?
-How long will you take?
Wash up quickly.
It's : p.m. right now.
I'll try to be done by p.m.
No…
-I'll be quick.
-All right. Take your time.
I need to shower and then dry my hair.
Yeah, take your time,
but also,
be quick.
That's a tall order.
-I'll be quick.
-Okay.
FIVE MINUTES LATER
"When will she be back?"
TEN MINUTES LATER
"Why isn't she coming?"
FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER
"When will she be back?"
That was all I kept thinking.
All done.
Feel like a massage?
-Here.
-Oh, it's for massaging your legs.
Yeah.
Let's do it together. One, two, three.
I'm really good at giving massages.
I give a great shoulder massage.
-It's hard to believe, right?
-No, I--
People don't believe me
when they see my hands,
-but shall I show you?
-Go on, then.
Let's see how…
I'm not just saying it. I'm really good.
Come a bit closer.
-What? Why are you laughing?
-I'll stop.
-Hang on.
-Here I go.
Okay.
-Why are you laughing?
-Nothing.
-I'm ready.
-Here we go.
-I'm good, right?
-Your arms will get sore tomorrow.
-My arms?
-Yeah.
No, they won't.
It's so…
You have a surprisingly strong grip.
Don't pinch me.
Your grip is…
He got butterflies!
-What's with that playful slap?
-More than that,
his shoulders are tense
because his heart's racing.
Slapping someone on the back
and things like that,
I think it's a sign of interest.
While she was massaging him,
she playfully slapped him.
-I know.
-That's a sign.
Don't pinch me.
Your grip is…
When did I pinch you?
I'm doing my best.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Why do you keep
-tensing up?
-I don't know.
I haven't even started.
I get really ticklish.
People would think I was hurting you.
I wanted to compliment her,
but it was like a little girl
pinching and prodding her dad.
I found it cute,
which is why I joked
about her pinching me.
I want to playfully poke and bite her.
I want to put her in a headlock.
I just…
Do you prefer talking by text or phone?
I prefer talking on the phone.
Do you?
I don't like spending time typing
when I have to talk by text.
-Really?
-Yeah.
It feels like a waste of time
to sit and type like this.
By the way, just now,
you looked so pretty…
-He's moving at warp speed.
-Seriously.
-I'm pretty good at reading people.
-Okay.
-The way he bit his lip just now…
-Yeah?
It means she was so pretty
that he's at loss for words.
-That's what it means?
-Yes.
-I once blurted to a guy I liked,
-Yeah?
"You're so handso…"
"I mean, photogenic."
Honestly, you know how I keep
cringing at Chan-yang?
-Yes.
-I see a bit of myself in him.
I move way too quickly,
and I act like we're dating
before we're actually there.
I keep seeing myself in him,
which is why it's driving me crazy.
So have you related to him
this whole time?
It's hard to watch
because it's like watching myself.
I think it's a waste of time
to sit and type like that.
By the way, just now,
you looked so pretty…
Even that's like me.
After he said that, he went…
Is it a clapperboard?
Why are you calling, "Cut"?
-Even he knows.
-He went like…
-He knows it's ridiculous.
-Yeah.
Even he knows it.
Even that is like me.
This is driving me crazy.
It's a compliment.
-I wanted to give a compliment.
-All day today,
even when we went to eat breakfast,
there were moments
where I felt a bit taken aback
because you were unexpectedly
direct and expressive.
You kept throwing me off.
But I…
-Just a bit.
-But it's cute seeing you like that.
-So it makes me want to do it more.
-I'm not
good at expressing my feelings.
-Expressing--
-I tend
to be pretty unexpressive.
I'm all right with things like that.
So I was a bit surprised this morning.
I was training hard today
when I had a sudden thought.
-We talked in a daze yesterday.
-Yeah, we did.
So I went back over the things
that we talked about.
And like…
I thought about that six-year gap.
-There must be a reason.
-Right.
And I couldn't
stop thinking about it.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I thought, "I shouldn't have told him
how long it's been."
That thought crossed my mind
because I sensed it would trouble you.
I shouldn't have told him.
He said he kept thinking about it
while he was training.
If I'd never mentioned it,
I could have spared him
that stress and anxiety.
For me,
-when we had that talk yesterday,
-Yeah.
it didn't make me feel worried.
I just thought
"She's a really decent person."
-That's how I felt.
-Really?
Because I feel like…
During those six years,
maybe you retreated
because you'd gotten hurt.
Even though you didn't say that,
I thought that could be a possibility.
But in any case,
just knowing that about you
made me think about you more.
Even though it's only been one day,
I was thinking about you
even during training.
If I feel that strongly…
maybe I should go full steam ahead.
I thought I shouldn't stall and hesitate.
I decided not to hold back.
That's what I thought.
Yeah. It's not like other dating shows.
If they had a whole month,
they could take time
to get on the same page.
-They only have three nights,
-That's right.
so from Chan-yang's perspective,
he might think he could regret it
if he didn't make a move.
And right now, Chan-yang is
treating Myung-ju
like she's a big part of his life,
as if she's an important person to him.
-Already.
-Yeah, he's already feeling that way.
I decided I should just
express my feelings as they are
if I want to leave without any regrets.
So, my only choice is to go all in.
I was surprised but thankful
that he was so honest.
It made me think
I'd been a bit too guarded.
I had a shocking revelation today.
I learned something because of you.
It's about myself.
Really?
Yeah, when we talked over breakfast,
I realized I kept
skirting around things too much.
I have a big appetite,
even though I can't eat that much.
You should eat with me, then.
I can't eat a lot.
I can help you finish off your food.
But my mouth… What's the word?
-You
are
hearing what I say, right?
-Yeah.
I just feel shy, you know.
Why do you keep…
I'm pretending I didn't hear it.
He asked me directly
if I heard the things he said.
I was very wishy-washy,
and I kept glossing over things.
The fact that my date
called me out on that directly
made me realize that I talk too vaguely.
I should stop dancing around
and be more direct.
I don't need to be so cautious.
I didn't want
to say something I didn't mean.
By any chance, if you think I beat
around the bushes and keep banging on--
Bang bang bang
Then let me know.
If that's what you've realized,
I feel very relieved.
In a way, three nights and four days
might feel a bit too short.
The time we have
for conversations is so limited.
Should we stay up tonight?
I'm going to keep going all in,
but I want you to be honest
about your feelings as well.
Okay. I promise.
Are you hungry?
-Are you?
-No, I'm just asking.
-I'm fine for now.
-Really?
That's good.
THEY BOTH RECEIVED A TEXT
YOU CAN GO ON A LATE NIGHT DATE
IF YOU BOTH WANT IT
TEXT "YES" OR "NO"
We're allowed to go out!
Awesome.
Oh, we're not meant to discuss it.
DELAYED SILENCE
I immediately replied "Yes."
There was so much
I wanted to do with Myung-ju,
like going for a stroll,
and going on a long drive.
I thought it was a shame
that we were in such a confined space.
So I was really happy.
I was very happy.
I had just resolved
to be a bit more expressive,
but I tried to contain my excitement
as I texted my reply.
THE LATE-NIGHT DATE PASS HAS BEEN ISSUED
-Hurry. We don't have much time.
-Yeah.
Good choice.
Then I'd better wear this outfit.
YAWNING
-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm not tired. It's just a force of habit.
-Oh, jeez.
-Are you okay?
A good excuse to hold hands.
How did that happen coincidentally?
It started as a gesture
of reassurance and then…
He won't let up.
He keeps reeling me in.
READY TO LEAVE
Let's go out holding hands.
-Really?
-Yes.
YOU CAN GO ON A LATE NIGHT DATE
IF YOU BOTH WANT IT
TEXT "YES" OR "NO"
THERE IS NO MENTION OF HAND-HOLDING
Well, that sentence was there in my mind.
I just
interpreted it the way I wanted
and acted on that.
You're very brazen.
He's good. What a dating master!
"That sentence was there in my mind."
Good tactic.
-He didn't want to pressure her by asking.
-Exactly.
It's so clever of him
to say it was the rule.
Really?
Mine didn't mention that.
-Let's go.
-You're not lying, are you?
He said he got a text
that we had to go out holding hands.
But I never got a text like that.
I felt like I was getting pulled in again,
so I didn't want to give in that easily.
-Really?
-Yeah.
SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE IN EASILY
BUT THEIR HANDS ENDED UP INTERTWINED
I guess I don't not like him.
I'm drawn to him as well.
He's kind of adorable.
It's cute how he keeps
trying to make things happen.
It's almost hard to put into words.
I could hear my own heart racing.
That's how excited I was.
OFF TO THE NEARBY BEACH
I can't believe we're going for a drive.
Yeah, I didn't expect this at all.
-It's so nice.
-Yeah, it is.
Let's enjoy our time together.
Oh, right. We should hold hands.
You're lying, aren't you?
No. I'm not.
It said we can hold hands if we want.
You're still lying, right?
I think that's what it said.
Give me your hand.
I'm not trying to hold it.
I just wanted to see…
-You were right.
-Yeah, my hands are a bit dry.
-They are.
-Yeah.
They're a bit rough.
But my hand is
probably as big as yours.
They might not be that different.
Seriously.
-It's huge, isn't it?
-Wow, that's amazing.
It's not big exactly.
I just have long fingers.
I am eating up this cliché.
-What are you eating up?
-I'm…
-I'm eating up this cliché.
-Oh, cliché.
Measuring their hands…
-Here?
-Yeah.
I think this is the right place.
Cheers.
It's tasty.
How do you feel?
Can you handle your alcohol tonight?
It tastes sweet,
maybe because I'm with you.
It's our first drink together.
You're right.
We need to commemorate it.
With those gloves?
The prawns are huge.
-Oh, jeez.
-Watch out.
-They're aggressive.
-Yeah, I'm scared.
The clams here are really tender.
-Is that right?
-Yeah.
IT SEEMS THEY WERE BOTH HUNGRY
The clam is so good.
Yeah, it's so tasty.
-I think you can eat the scallop now.
-No, you have it.
-You can have it.
-No.
I'll take over now.
No. I don't want you to.
-I'll hold it for you.
-No, leave it.
HAND ITCHING TO HELP
The man should do these things.
Why? I'm good at it.
You're the kind of girl
who can do anything.
It's not like I don't know that.
Oh, man. But I know what I'm doing.
I'm really great at this.
-But I feel like
-Yeah.
once you set your mind to something,
you will pull it off no matter what.
You're a good judge of character.
I feel like you'll do whatever it takes
to achieve your goals.
Thanks for saying that.
As you go through life,
you sometimes reach a crossroads
-between the hard and easy road, right?
-Yeah.
I always think
that even if it's harder and takes longer,
if the hard road
is clearly the better path,
you should take that road.
Stop.
-I told you earlier
-Okay.
if Chan-yang showed his mature side,
Myung-ju would feel
more attracted and connected to him.
And right now, they're having
a serious talk about their views.
This is the kind of thing
that's going to draw her to him.
That's what's happening right now.
The harder the journey,
the bigger the reward.
Yeah.
You know people who dive right in
when they don't know any better?
-I think I'm like that.
-Oh, really?
-I admire that.
-Right now…
I taught myself design
by figuring things out as I went,
so I never really learned the basics.
I think I've always felt
a bit insecure about that.
Throughout my career,
I've been looked down on a lot.
Especially by my clients.
I entered the working world quite young.
I started when I was years old.
So, clients didn't want
me as their designer.
They'd go, "Get rid of her."
I wondered if it was
because I looked too young.
"I'm wearing a suit,
but maybe I still look too young."
"I'd better try to look older."
"And I'd better wear more stylish suits."
"I need to look powerful
and professional."
I envy people who built their way up
starting with the basics.
But I didn't just stop there.
I'm working hard to catch up to them.
I think that kind of thinking
is a really healthy mindset.
Just knowing your own weaknesses
can help you achieve great results.
-It's nice talking with a clearer mind.
-Yeah.
-Yesterday--
-I felt like I just rambled on last night.
-We were both so out of it.
-Yeah.
Are we now
past the halfway point?
It's been two days,
if you can call it that.
So…
In that case…
How would you rate me?
-"How would you rate me?"
-Now…
She's changed. Did you see it?
Did you see how
she reacted differently?
-Look.
-What do you mean?
How did she react
to his flirty comments before?
-Before? Like this.
-She was like…
-"This is a bit too fast for me."
-Right?
-"It's too quick."
-But now look at her.
She's laughing.
It's because she's into him.
Now she finds it funny.
Now she thinks it's endearing.
In that case…
How would you rate me?
What's your impression of me so far?
But you don't have to answer
if it's a tricky question.
No, it's not a tricky question.
Honestly,
it's been a really long time
since someone cared for me.
But with you,
I've felt very taken care of.
You seem attentive and considerate.
There were things
that made me nervous at first,
but now I think there's no need
to look for reasons to be scared.
That's how I feel now.
Our time is limited,
so is he being more honest and direct
because of the situation,
or would he still be like this
if the situation were different?
I felt it could go both ways.
But I thought
if this is how he usually is,
that could be a red flag.
But for now,
he's been so thoughtful and considerate,
so I feel cared for as a woman
for the first time in a while.
In terms of my level of attraction,
if I'm completely honest,
it's about percent.
-Really?
-Out of .
I'll try a bit harder.
It's only been a short while,
you've shown a lot of good qualities,
and I can feel that you're a good guy.
I didn't get the sense
she likes me as much as I like her.
But that doesn't really matter to me.
It's totally fair given the situation.
All I can do is show what I'm capable of.
That's good.
I was just curious
if I was making a good impression
or if I was making a bad impression.
I'll keep moving at my own pace
and expressing my feelings,
-so I'd like you to be honest as well.
-Okay.
I feel that's the only way for us both
to leave without regrets,
whatever we decide.
Let's go out for
hoe
together
if we get the chance.
Okay.
If…
things do work out well between us…
I wanted to make a plan for the future.
If we can spend more time together
in a comfortable setting,
I'd like to go on a theme park date
and eat fried chicken and
ramyeon
by the Hangang River.
When we shared our music tastes,
she said she like ballads,
and I also like ballads.
So we could set the mood
by playing ballads on a speaker
and talk and joke around with each other.
I'm so curious
how our relationship will develop
after this experiment is over.
DAY TWO
DO YOU FEEL ATTRACTED TO THE OTHER PERSON?
IF YOU DO, TEXT "YES" WITH A REASON
IF NOT, TEXT "NO"
CHAN-YANG REPLIES QUICKLY LIKE YESTERDAY
MYUNG-JU IS CONTEMPLATIVE YET AGAIN
I texted, "Yes."
It's been so great so far,
so I didn't have any reason to hesitate.
WHEN I EXPRESS MY FEELINGS,
SHE RESPONDS VERY SINCERELY
AND I FIND THAT VERY ATTRACTIVE
We can go from joking around
to having a serious conversation,
and she always listens attentively
and tries to stay engaged.
So I got the sense that she was
trying to accommodate me.
I felt very respected,
so I really appreciated that.
I replied that I was attracted.
I did feel attracted,
but I wasn't sure
what to write as the reason.
THE CONVERSATION FLOWS WELL
AND I LIKE HOW HONEST AND THOUGHTFUL HE IS
I think it's rare to find
someone who is so honest,
and I think it takes courage to be honest.
So I appreciate that about him.
But the biggest reason for me
was that the conversation flowed well.
DAY TWO OF BLIND DATE IN A BED
BOTH ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER
-She's opened up a lot.
-Seriously.
-At the start, she was like a tough rock.
-Yeah.
-But she seems to be softening up now.
-Totally.
In her interview,
she said she dressed up in suits
to look powerful and tough,
-but she met Chan-yang bare-faced,
-You're right.
-in pajamas.
-Right.
-She had to put her guard down.
-Yeah, exactly.
For the first time in ages,
she let a guy see her true self.
I think that must be very meaningful.
I thought she was a tough girl at first,
but she's kind of a softie with Chan-yang.
We're here! It's been so long.
The tide's gone out.
What comes to your mind
when you see the ocean at night?
Summer night sea
THE REAL LYRICS ARE "YEOSU NIGHT SEA"
It's cold.
-You're cold?
-Yeah.
We need to stick close together.
You're relentless.
-I give you some space now and then.
-Is that right?
-I'm usually way more relentless.
-That's your default?
It's so nice and cute.
-Are you cold?
-A little.
Look, it's so nice and cozy.
Young people these days
sure are different.
They might as well make it official, no?
It's too soon to say.
If a guy held my hand
but wouldn't ask me to be his girlfriend,
I'd want to call him out publicly.
Call him out publicly for what?
For not asking me
to be his girlfriend after holding hands.
It's unacceptable.
I think it's a shame.
Even inside the hotel,
there are lots of places we could go,
but we haven't been able to walk around.
But I'm really cold right now.
-Let's go.
-Yeah.
I wished we could have
strolled a little longer.
But we were both really cold.
But even that could be a bonding moment
that would bring us closer.
So on one hand,
if things work out between us,
when we look back,
how we were really cold
when we first went to the beach
could be a fond memory
we'd cherish for a long time.
So it's nice we had that.
THEIR FIRST DATE OUTSIDE THE BED ENDED
PARADISE CITY
You've changed already?
No. Why?
I thought you were brushing
your teeth after getting changed.
No. Do you want to get changed?
I'll close these doors.
Thank you.
THREE MINUTES PASSED LIKE THAT
I WANT TO SPIT THE TOOTHPASTE OUT NOW
You brushed your teeth too long
because of me, didn't you?
No, it was a perfect amount of time.
This place felt
so unfamiliar at first,
but now I'm so used to it.
-It's so comfortable now.
-Right?
Are you ready?
These pillows are too high.
CHAN-YANG IS HUGGING MYUNG-JU'S STUFFY
You snatched it!
Flustered?
My bunny.
It's come back to me.
How was it today?
-Today?
-Yeah.
It was so different from day one.
I feel like we've gotten even closer.
And I got to hear more
about your feelings and perspective.
I also saw sides of you
that I didn't expect.
Me? In what way?
You're really bad at waking up.
I didn't expect it, but it was cute.
For me…
-I think today was…
-Yeah.
full of ups and downs.
Not emotionally,
-but a lot happened in one day.
-You're right.
While we were eating,
I even learned something about myself.
Right.
To put it simply,
there was a lot of food for thought.
In all kinds of ways.
I knew today would be
more fun than yesterday.
But it was a lot more fun than I thought.
I
am
a fun guy.
Tomorrow is technically our last day.
Yeah.
But why…
We'll probably reveal
our ages tomorrow, right?
I don't know.
But to be honest,
I don't think it really matters anymore.
-Seriously.
-I don't think so either.
-Right now--
-I'm curious--
Of course, I am curious.
But I don't think my feelings
will be changed or affected much by it.
I see.
It will be fun. I mean, when we find out.
-I think it will be amusing.
-Totally.
I'm so rooting for Myung-ju to date.
-Just Myung-ju?
-Yeah. I want her to be properly loved.
I need to sleep,
but I don't want to end the day yet.
But I really need to sleep.
It's a.m.
We'd better sleep quickly.
It's : a.m.
-No, but…
-This morning,
you complained that I slept
with my back turned yesterday.
-Should we switch sides? Should we switch?
-Huh?
-I normally lie like this.
-Right.
This is how I sleep.
I play with my phone
while lying on my side like this.
That's how you fall asleep?
When my cat comes over,
I put my phone down,
and I stretch my arm out.
Then, I pull my cat close like this,
and I sleep like this.
I just thought we should switch
in case you wanted
to fall asleep looking at me.
You'll complain again
if I turn my back again, right?
You'd be asking for an argument then.
I was so taken aback in the morning.
"You slept with your back to me."
"You slept with your back to me."
I wasn't sure how to react.
They keep--
Wait. Can they do that?
Wait. Hang on.
Why hold hands like this?
All right. Let's see. What happened?
He pulled her hand out
from under the covers…
Did he pull her hand up for the camera?
He pulled it up.
-They could've done it under the covers.
-He pulled it out.
But for the viewers…
-He pulled her hand up.
-He pulled it out.
Bravo!
He pulled it out and did this.
Like this.
-Well done.
-I'm impressed.
I was so taken aback in the morning.
"You slept with your back to me."
"You slept with your back to me."
I wasn't sure how to react.
You slept with your back to me.
-When you said that…
-You're pulling away again.
-I like the summer.
-I hate the summer.
I don't like being called out
to a meal suddenly.
-That's tricky.
-We kept disagreeing on things.
We might not be compatible.
-It's amazing.
-Wow.
-I was nervous.
-My heart's racing.
-It feels so strange.
This is our last night.
It's really the last.
It's so nice right now, though.
It feels like it's ending.
Can I trust my judgement
and the things I felt in this space?
But despite all that, "How will this end?"
Is this the right choice?
