THE LOVE LAB
I'm really on my own today.
I thought it was a lie until now.
I thought there would be
a surprise guest or something.
Reacting to shows on my own
used to be my thing, so…
CHARLESENTER
YOUTUBER
You see…
Hello.
Hello.
-Hi.
-I was zipping up my pants.
I thought maybe you could come but…
JUNBBANG JOGYO
YOUTUBER, CHARLESENTER'S EX-FLING [?]
What's up with that reaction?
I did kind of expect you.
I was wondering who they'd bring,
and I thought, "It can't be Junbbang.
It's a Netflix show, after all."
What?
-Congrats on your first gig on Netflix.
-Thanks.
It's all thanks to you.
Since Joohoney couldn't make it today,
Junbbang has joined as a special host.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm Monsta X's Junbbang.
I'm the knockoff version.
That was a good one.
-Good job.
-Yeah?
You did it.
I was so surprised when I opened the box.
I couldn't even count them.
I forgot how many I put in too.
What? You actually counted them?
I started counting, but I lost count.
They said the bathroom's
inconvenient here.
What can we do about it?
HYUN-JIN AND SI-HYUN
ATTIC HOUSE
Do you like it?
I don't know.
Ji-young is very cute.
She said, "How many did you put in?"
You know, when I was
putting the Heart Chips in,
-I wasn't really wary of Ji-young.
-Okay.
I just put them in.
But after hearing what she said just now,
I was so glad I did it.
Thank you
for choosing me.
It's good.
-It's good cold.
-Yeah.
The reason why
I really wanted to come here with you is
because I have something to say to you.
I got your photos.
There were five men.
The reason why I didn't recognize you
was because I didn't look
at your photo that carefully.
And your photo
was the only photo
that was taken by a professional.
Only yours.
So I set it aside.
Then, I noticed a guy with a unique ring,
and I thought there might
be a fun story behind it.
That ring guy ended up coming here.
That's the only thought I had
on our way up here.
Even until then,
I didn't know you were
the guy in that photo.
-So you thought someone else came.
-Yeah.
It's an honor.
Nice to meet you.
It's an honor.
What I liked was
that she'd chosen Jun-seung
as her ideal type,
but she's been choosing me
ever since we got here.
I was thankful for that.
How did you feel
when you checked the box?
Me?
Were you expecting it?
Yeah, kind of.
I thought there wouldn't be a lot.
I wasn't sure how many I should put in.
How many do I have to put in
to use them all up?
I decided my range was going to be
-from zero to ten.
-Okay.
I can use them all up
by pouring them all in at the end.
You like to keep people in suspense?
You feel things out first, then go all in.
-Right?
-No.
Just give me a heads-up.
No.
It's not like that. Not at all.
How should I put it?
I'm trying to be cautious about it.
So my range is zero to ten.
Like, the perfect score
would be ten chips.
Let's say we chose each other in the end.
Let's say we choose each other.
What?
Why is that the example?
Fine, go ahead.
What?
Go ahead.
What?
If we chose each other,
could we make this work outside of here?
I think it's totally possible,
but I'm not sure it's because
of this unique setting or…
When you meet someone
in a unique environment like this,
you fall for who they are first
before considering their circumstances.
So when we leave this place, we may face
-real-life issues.
-Yeah.
So why bother choosing then?
POUTING
How cute.
"Why would you say that? Come on."
I didn't say anything.
"Why is that the example?"
I like the updo.
That's why, one of my ideal types
is a woman who looks good in an updo.
You look good in one.
Thank you.
-Shall we have a drink?
-Sounds good.
Cheers.
What I know for sure is
that Ji-young doesn't have
the vibe I'm into.
From the moment I saw her,
I knew she wasn't my type, looks-wise.
But as soon as she started talking,
I realized her personality
was different from how she looked.
Yeah, that's so true.
I felt that as soon as she spoke to me.
Jun-seung is smitten with her.
She is pretty.
You put so many in.
I put them in like this today.
JUN-SEUNG IS SMITTEN
But after that, I haven't had a chance
to learn anything about her.
Yeah, we don't really know about her.
I don't know anything.
I felt like there was
something between you two.
There's nothing at all.
It's not that
I don't have feelings for you.
I just don't know anything about her.
So if I knew her better…
Then, you would have been
able to make up your mind sooner.
Yeah.
For tomorrow…
Maybe not for the whole day,
but for an appropriate amount,
I'll go after you a bit less.
Let's go for a walk.
I think I'll be able to
make up my mind by tomorrow.
It's not that
I don't have feelings for you,
but there's someone I haven't spoken to
-Right.
-at all.
I need to talk to her to be sure.
Only then, I'll be able to go for it
-without any doubts.
-Right.
You should
have a proper conversation with Ji-young.
NODS
After thinking it over, I talked to her
and she said she'd let me go briefly
so that I can have
a proper chat with Ji-young.
I found her really cool.
I saw my box,
and there were so many in there.
I started laughing as soon as I opened it.
I thought, "Jun-seung is hilarious."
I thought I put in the most.
-I was going to put in a lot
-Yeah.
and pick Hyun-jin.
-What?
-I was going to pick Hyun-jin.
Well,
it seemed like you wanted to
get to know Si-hyun as well.
I was wondering if I'm holding you back.
That's what I thought.
So I was going to pick Hyun-jin
-and get to know her too.
-Get to know her?
I doubt that getting to know her
would change anything, though.
That's exceptionally thoughtful.
He's on another level.
After talking to the others,
they may come back with more clarity.
You know, if I were her,
I'd be really attracted
to him because of this.
Because, you know,
if someone likes me so much
and wants to have me for himself,
-I'd go, "Why is he so inconsiderate?"
-Right.
But if he shows how considerate
he is of my feelings,
I'd think, "He's this considerate?"
-And he'd appear confident too.
-Exactly.
-"Go check him out."
-Yeah.
I'd develop feelings.
But if he gets swayed by Hyun-jin,
-it'll make Ji-young antsy.
-Yeah.
Have you ever wanted to
get to know Hyun-jin?
I don't like leading people on.
If I like someone,
I just rule out everyone else.
I didn't want to lead her on.
Just like Jun-seung,
I don't like leading someone on.
I prefer things to be clear.
Yes means yes, and no means no.
But I feel like
the way I'm acting right now…
is leading Jun-seung on.
It's not that
I don't have feelings for him.
I do have some feelings for him,
but I really think I'm undecided.
That's why it's tough for me.
I want to know
how the other two feel as well.
Seeing that she put in
a bunch of hearts in…
-Do you think so?
-I get an idea.
Will it be a happy ending?
-Will it?
-Who knows?
Who knows?
Wait. Open your eyes.
-I shouldn't have had soju.
-What?
I shouldn't have had soju.
"I shouldn't have had soju."
So cute.
It's so nice if someone you like
reacts like that,
but they should date then.
So many reasons to date.
But that was super flirty of him, no?
I think there are many ways
one can say, "So cute."
He didn't say it matter-of-factly.
It was "So cute."
Like under your breath?
Like she's so cute it's driving him crazy.
-"So cute."
-Like he finds her too cute.
STARING
Dry your hair some more.
I'm feeling rather lazy.
-Want me to dry it for you?
-No.
I'm 27 years old.
What?
Good night.
I'll turn the lights off when you go up.
Thank you.
I'm going to get some sleep.
Sweet dreams.
See you tomorrow.
Okay.
HYUN-JIN WAKES UP
I'm glad I brought him here.
It became certain to me
that I want to get to know him
going forward.
But there was one thing.
I thought, "What do I do? Will it work?"
I'm definitely interested in him.
But the fact that he's younger than me
is weighing on my mind.
I found myself getting hesitant.
-What? Come on.
-Is it that big of an issue?
It's not like he's much younger.
Weren't they in the same school year?
-Why is she being like that? Jeez.
-I know, right?
SI-HYUN WAKES UP
-Is it cozy up there?
-Here?
It's cozy. Want to come up?
Oh, I couldn't sleep up here.
But I can.
What do I like about this guy?
It was a brief moment. Like five minutes?
We were very close to each other.
Because of that, I got butterflies
first thing in the morning.
Over here is…
Since we stayed in the same house
for two days in a row,
there was a level of comfort
that came from that.
-Where?
-Jun-seung is just a wallflower here.
Oh, he's back there.
He is back there.
But they don't care
if Jun-seung is there or not.
Since we stayed in the same house
for two days in a row,
there was a level of comfort
that came from that.
Because I know how Hyun-jin feels,
I should get to know Ji-young
without delay
so that I can give
Hyun-jin a clear answer.
I'll go chat with her.
Take your time.
I'm sure he needs that opportunity.
But the thing is,
I'm only thinking about whether things
will work out with him, not anyone else.
I guess he can be
curious about the other person too.
Sure.
He should do it.
I'm going to chat with Ji-young today.
I haven't spoken to her at all.
If he was really cool about it,
he would've said, "Sure."
But he wants to act cool,
but he can't, so…
-He can't even look at him
-He can't.
since his feelings would show.
I thought I'd be okay about giving him
an opportunity until the second day,
but now, I don't think I really
want to give him that chance.
Hello.
Are you talking to me?
-Who? Is it you?
-Yeah.
-Hi. Did you sleep well?
-Of course.
Let's have a chat once you're done.
Okay, got it.
I think Jun-seung gave me a chance
since I wanted to chat with Si-hyun.
My feelings for Jun-seung aren't growing,
but that doesn't mean
I'm going all in with Si-hyun either.
Honestly, I'm on the verge of giving up.
As long as Hyun-jin is by his side,
I don't think I'll stand a chance.
I don't think I can turn things around
or anything like that.
At least, if I expressed how I felt,
I wouldn't have any regrets
and feel light.
-Is there anything you want to know?
-Anything I want to know?
The thing is, you seem close
with Hyun-jin
and you spend a lot of time together,
so I feel like there's no room for me.
-I see.
-So I thought I wouldn't get
a chance to talk with you.
That would be too disappointing.
If we don't chat here,
we can't have a birthday party together.
Although it's still far away.
As soon as I saw the ideal type you wrote
on your self-introduction letter,
I immediately thought
it wasn't me. It was Hyun-jin.
-Really?
-Yeah, that's what I thought.
-And besides the looks?
-Besides that?
Besides that,
I thought you and I would click.
I'd think we'd click,
but the ideal type held me back.
In terms of looks, you mean?
Yeah, I didn't think that was me.
I don't think what I wrote
in the letter really matters.
It's just an ideal type.
All the women I met were
different from each other.
It was such a shame
that we had such little time.
Yeah, I agree.
SOMETIME PAST NOON
-Wait.
-What?
"You can win a six-hour escape date pass."
ISOLATED WITH THE IDEAL TYPE
DAY THREE
THE NIGHTLY HEART CHIP VOTES
THE SUBJECTS EXPRESSED
HOW THEY FELT FOR TWO DAYS
"The person who received
the most Heart Chips…
is Ahn Si-hyun."
CURRENT 1ST PLACE AHN SI-HYUN
WEE JUN-SEUNG, 11 CHIPS
LAH HYUN-JIN, 19 CHIPS
BYEON JI-YOUNG, 119 CHIPS
AHN SI-HYUN, 120 CHIPS
TOTAL COUNT OF HEART CHIPS
"Designate one person to go
on the date with and leave immediately."
THE CHOICE IS UP TO SI-HYUN
Six hours?
I thought he'd go with Hyun-jin.
I want to eat something good.
Let's go, Ji-young.
Okay.
Oh my.
Oh my goodness.
You know,
whenever the men win something,
they choose Ji-young.
She went on the convenience store date.
I bet Hyun-jin really wants to
get out of there.
Let's go, Ji-young.
Okay.
It was totally unexpected.
When he said he was going to
create an opportunity in the note,
I thought he meant
he'd pull me aside for a quick chat.
But he chose me for the seemingly
important six-hour escape date pass.
I didn't expect that at all.
Whether it was outside or in here,
it was a chance for me
to have a chat with Ji-young.
That's all I was thinking.
See you, guys.
Isn't this more special?
Isn't this better than chopping wood?
Don't cry.
You should complain to them.
I object.
I think I felt a little jealous.
So he got the most chips.
I was the one who made it possible
for them to go on a date.
But he said he wanted to
get to know Ji-young
since he hadn't gotten a chance.
Then, go right ahead.
If the choice was up to me,
I would have gone with Si-hyun.
See you.
See you.
Let's eat the curry later.
For dinner.
What are you going to wear?
Pick it out for me.
-How about this one?
-This one?
I'm wearing a gray cardigan.
Really? Okay.
Let's go with gray.
Gray.
I was a bit worried as well.
Since we hadn't had
a real conversation yet,
I hoped we could click.
I was happy, for sure.
But there were some concerns
that came with that too.
-I don't feel completely at ease.
-Why?
Hyun-jin keeps
weighing on my mind.
I'm not concerned about that at all.
Really? I don't know.
-I try not to--
-Love is a battle.
Well, I'm not good at things like that.
I wasn't good at that out there either.
I got things taken away
from me all the time.
"Taken away." That's sad.
Because I need to get the things I want.
You couldn't do it out there,
but you can do it here.
I'll give it a shot.
-What's up?
-May I get by?
Are you grabbing a bite?
No.
-What are you doing?
-It's a secret.
I tried to look away from them.
It's not that I find it unpleasant.
But I felt like I didn't have to see them.
Are they leaving now?
Jun-seung acted like he didn't care,
but his attention was totally on them.
-Go check them out if you're curious.
-I don't want to.
-No?
-Why would I?
SI-HYUN AND JI-YOUNG PASS THE CAFE
It's so close.
They said it was a special date yesterday,
but it was at a convenience store.
So I wonder what it'll be like
this time.
-It'll be really special.
-Yeah.
It's the last one.
It feels cooler down here.
Yeah, it feels cool here.
-I was here yesterday too.
-Yeah.
That's right.
-You're so busy.
-Yesterday?
It was a lot of walking up and down.
Can you do long-distance
with someone in Changwon?
We talked about that
when we were in the Attic House.
-It's much farther than I thought.
-Yeah.
I've never been in a relationship
with someone that far away.
Gosh.
What is it?
She told Jun-seung that
she likes long-distance relationships.
That's right.
She said she prefers it.
That's right.
That way, she can have her own time.
It's human instinct
-To impress someone?
-to adjust to that person
to impress them.
-It's far.
-Let's say you really like this person.
But they live that far.
Would it still not work?
If he really looks like my ideal type
and I don't want to lose him,
I could do long-distance then.
-Really?
-Yeah.
For a once-in-a-millennium
ideal type.
-The edge-of-tofu?
-Yeah.
Since I know my own ideal type,
I'd like to go out with someone like that.
Gosh, I'm so happy.
-We get to break away.
-Yeah.
We're escaping the isolation.
I'm glad I was bad
at chopping wood yesterday.
Is there anything you're curious about?
There's a lot.
How was it last night
at the Attic House?
-Jun-seung and I have been there, right?
-Yeah.
We talked a lot about things like
what we're like
when we're in a relationship,
long-distance relationships…
Have you talked a lot
about dating with Hyun-jin?
No, not at all.
What did you talk about then?
-About life…
-You guys talk so much.
-We talked about life.
-About life?
We did talk about dating.
That's right.
Jun-seung only has eyes for you, right?
How do you feel about that?
-I'm so grateful for it. Yeah.
-Yeah.
He's fun to be around.
He's just very funny.
I felt a bit disappointed
when Jun-seung took you
to the convenience store.
Why?
That was a chance for me
to have a conversation with you.
But Jun-seung isn't that forward…
Or is he?
I don't think he is that forward.
-What?
-How forward does he have to be?
-Should he pour 200 chips in?
-That's how she feels?
Should he kiss her?
Didn't he do everything but kiss her?
-Gosh.
-I think they're both into each other.
That's why they keep talking like that.
They're finally talking freely.
I wonder what will happen this evening.
Are you wondering what they're doing?
No.
I'm not thinking about them.
I think I wanted to know
how certain he felt
about Hyun-jin.
I was curious about that.
Are you curious?
No.
-I think you are.
-No, I'm not.
HYUN-JIN AND JUN-SEUNG
ISOLATED HOUSE
Where are you going?
-A tree and a house, like this?
-Yeah.
You're really good at this.
I like how it looks.
"It house"?
It's a bear.
It's a bus.
That's a bear.
Here's the mountain.
The mountain.
-You look like an artist.
-"It's me, perilla oil."
I put too much pressure.
You must be very stressed.
-I couldn't control the pressure.
-You couldn't.
I can't control the pressure.
-Hey.
-Bobby!
The two of us had fun.
ISOLATION
-We did it.
-That was tough.
It's the first time
-just being the two of us.
-Yeah.
I was too…
You were a bulldozer.
I'm like a bulldozer.
I'm not usually like this.
But I thought I'd give it a try here
if I fall for someone.
What are you usually like?
I usually don't express how I feel.
I do when I'm seeing someone,
but before that…
But you were good at it.
Well, I just did it.
I didn't feel the need to play games.
If it doesn't work out despite my efforts,
then so be it.
That's cool.
Thanks.
-What about Si-hyun?
-Si-hyun?
From what I can tell,
he is pretty cautious as well.
Yeah.
It isn't easy to be like you.
You're doing something difficult.
It's my first time as well.
I feel like I've lost control.
I think so.
I mean it's good.
What do you think she's thinking?
What she's thinking?
Honestly, I don't know
what she's thinking.
It's such a short time.
-Not much could be done.
-I think so.
Everyone is being cautious.
I'm the only one who seems frivolous.
No.
It could be the opposite.
You could be the most serious.
You're so serious. So damn serious.
I should loosen up then.
No, I think it's good.
Is it?
Is Si-hyun exactly the person
you're looking for?
I'm torn.
I think he is someone
I could end up liking.
-I like him.
-But you're still unsure?
You must be really torn then.
-Yeah, I don't think I can change that.
-Sounds tough.
What is your dilemma?
Is it a matter of "Yes or no"
or someone else?
-I'm sure it's "Yes or no."
-Yeah.
I was worried about you, though.
Me? Why?
I was worried you might feel hurt.
About what?
Because I only had eyes for her
which could have felt harsh.
It's okay.
You didn't feel hurt--
I got over it.
You got over it? So you were hurt?
Of course not.
Oh, okay. Got it.
Even the subtitles are funny.
It was funny how the music even stopped.
Can you get that close in just three days?
I'm like this with my decade-long friends.
You know what would be interesting?
Them ending up together after this show.
-He was her ideal type at first.
-Exactly.
Then, it would be so darn fun.
You seem very comfortable with me.
I like you so much.
I think you are
so funny.
Since yesterday,
you've become a different person.
JI-YOUNG AND SI-HYUN
LA MAISON DE MARIE
You have the cherry blossom view.
Yeah, totally a cherry blossom view.
-And I have the duck view.
-What?
-Think of it as "Ji-young view."
-"Ji-young view"?
-Yeah.
-I like that.
-Ji-young view.
-Ji-young view.
Ji-young view.
-Ji-young view?
-Ji-young view.
How adorable.
They must have
-ice cream as well.
-How cute.
-Let's share.
-Okay.
-Why didn't you get coffee?
-What?
You were debating
between the strawberry and this.
So I can try both?
Yeah, you were debating between the two.
EARLIER
Should I have strawberry or matcha?
I'll do matcha latte.
-Matcha latte?
-Yeah.
-Then, I'll get the strawberry latte.
-Really?
I love it when someone does that.
When I can't decide between two options,
he goes, "Then, I'll get the matcha."
So that I can try it.
You tell me to just get what you want.
What a charmer!
It's been so long
since I got a proper dessert like this.
-For real.
-Right?
It feels like a real date.
Right?
That's what matters.
There.
IT'S NOISY OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN
So cute.
-Do you like children?
-I love them.
-Remember I said I want to get married?
-Yeah.
It's because I want to have kids.
Just like what my parents did for me,
I'd like to have
the ability to let my children
pursue what they want to do.
-I see.
-My idea of success
is having the ability to do that.
That's how I'm living my life,
and that's why I want to get married.
The reason why I want to get married
is because I want children.
Even though I have this thought,
-if the other person doesn't want it,
-If they don't want it…
you can't do it.
So it's important for me to find someone
who agrees with me on things like that.
That's why when it comes to dating,
it can't just be about feelings.
I see.
I want to get married fast too,
and it's been my dream
to start a stable family of my own.
When I heard what he said,
I realized we agreed on that.
I felt like our values about marriage
are well-aligned.
On one hand, I thought we were
very well-aligned,
but I was wondering
if she was just going along with me.
She said she can adjust herself
to the other person
and if she likes someone,
she's willing to do anything for them.
Yeah, I want to adjust to my guy
since I like him.
You tend to adjust yourself to match him.
Yeah, I'd like to do that.
I'd like to adjust to him
since I like him.
If you were to accommodate him
in every aspect,
you'll end up feeling drained.
Yeah.
I was wondering if she was
just telling me what I wanted to hear.
MUSIC PLAYS SUDDENLY
Is it closing time?
"Thank you for your hard work today."
"Goodbye."
"See you again."
You really go along with everything I do.
That's who I am.
That's who I am
I'm having fun.
Me too.
-Too late.
-Sorry.
Can you give me one more chance?
-I'm having fun.
-Yeah.
We have a similar sense of humor.
I know.
-What?
-They click well.
They really click.
That exchange gave me butterflies.
Si-hyun and Hyun-jin didn't have
that kind of chemistry.
They didn't have that giggling chemistry.
And neither did Jun-seung and Ji-young.
-They keep joking around with each other.
-Yeah.
You need to have
a similar sense of humor.
Our conversations flowed easily,
like casual small talk.
I actually prefer conversations like that.
It was like talking to a friend,
but I still got butterflies.
When I chatted with Hyun-jin,
it was fun and all,
but I didn't feel completely at ease.
But when I was chatting with Ji-young,
I found myself at ease.
We exchanged a lot of funny jokes as well.
Now that we finally got to chat--
-You feel at ease, right?
-Yes.
It changed completely.
It's because we're by ourselves,
away from the people
that might weigh on our minds.
You said Hyun-jin was
on your mind earlier.
Do you still feel that way?
I don't think so.
As we talked, I forgot about her.
Then…
Jun-seung?
I'm not really thinking about him much.
Shall I play the guitar?
Nice vibes.
Like an "it guy"?
You're good.
Did you take lessons?
For a month.
A lot of boys start playing the guitar
in middle school.
-You too?
-Me too.
I was so surprised.
He can sing like this?
JUN-SEUNG STARTS SINGING
You have a really nice voice.
Sing later too.
I can't sing over there.
I get nervous.
You won't sing later?
I should.
-You should.
-Should I practice?
He's good.
He's very good.
He sounds like a singer.
We can't even play one second of it?
Netflix doesn't allow it
due to copyright issues.
Why is he singing this
to the wrong person?
He should do this for Ji-young!
Who knows how things will change
because of this?
It'd be fun if they developed feelings.
He sang so well
and played the guitar so well.
We decided that he should
play this to Ji-young tonight,
so his performance started
from practicing for that.
Then he looked so attractive.
I found him cool.
I was so surprised.
When you scratch on the surface,
you keep finding something.
He's articulate and a great cook.
He's very playful too.
When you expect just one thing,
you get ten things from him.
If he had been like that from the start,
things may have gone differently.
We had a really good time.
What if I end up falling for him?
It may start off as being
fond of him as a person
but develop into something more romantic.
But for now,
the two of us have
such big crushes on other people.
I know.
Yeah, it feels like that.
If Si-hyun sang that well,
-it wouldn't be surprising.
-Right.
But it's Jun-seung.
We expected that awkward person
to sing awkwardly with his awkward hands,
but he turned out to be super slick.
I like that.
If Jun-seung showed
just a bit of interest to Hyun-jin,
she would develop feelings for him.
-But he's been so firm about…
-Yeah.
Because he only went for Ji-young,
Hyun-jin thought there wasn't a chance.
If he flirted with her just a bit,
she would have
-fallen for it.
-Even just a bit of flirting.
But we have five hours left.
Who knows what'll happen?
They'll be by themselves, at that.
Plenty of time to fall for each other.
Do you miss him?
No.
Do I miss him? I don't really remember.
You don't remember his face?
I remember his face.
I can, now that I've tried to.
Six hours? They must have gone very far.
What if they went home?
What if you went out for six hours?
What would you do
if you could do what you want?
I'd have to think about it.
Maybe go see the ocean?
It'll be memorable.
The firsts are always memorable.
And it's my first time
-in Gangneung.
-What?
It's my first time here.
-Really?
-Yeah.
The person you experience
your first with is also memorable.
-What do you wear when you work?
-What?
-What do you wear?
-Workwear.
And if I'm welding something,
I have to wear something on top of that.
It must be so hard in the summer.
It feels suffocating
when you’re on top of a burning pit.
When I sit there, I can see the heat wave.
-Wow.
-That's my life.
It's nothing special.
You know what's interesting?
When he said he was a welder,
I thought he just melted stuff.
But he said he works over a fire pit.
It's just fire.
Si-hyun, who left,
works in water.
He works in the water.
They're so different.
JI-YOUNG AND SI-HYUN
CHUAM BEACH
-It's a long stretch.
-Shall we walk?
When I was in that house,
I didn't think of life out here at all.
-But now that we're out here,
-Yeah.
it feels so refreshing.
-Right?
-Yeah.
It really feels like an escape.
I don't want to go back.
One, two, three.
Just move your gaze toward me.
Tuck in your chin a bit.
-You're good at it.
-It isn't good?
No, you're good at it.
Wow. Look!
You're pretty skilled.
The model makes the picture.
No, the photographer makes the picture.
No, it's the model.
-Should we dip our feet?
-Throw you in?
I think we joked around a lot.
Want to wear this?
It'll be warm.
-Should I just drape it over?
-Sure.
I should throw you in.
Throw me in?
I feel like we talked a lot
about small, everyday things
like couples would.
So it felt like we were a real couple.
How many hours do we have left?
You want to hurry back?
No.
-Time flies.
-Just say the word.
JI-YOUNG AND SI-HYUN
EUNHYE RAW FISH RESTAURANT
-It's hoe.
-Come this way.
-I'm hungry.
-I'm hungry.
The beach in Gangwon-do is the best.
It's nice.
A DATE SPOT THAT LOOKS OVER THE OCEAN
-Do I deserve this luxury?
-Right?
It's because you're popular.
Sorry?
You could choose
because you got the most chips.
I am thankful for that.
The thing is,
I think the reason why you got
-the most chips is Hyun-jin.
-Why?
-I know how much I put in yours, right?
-Yeah.
But Jun-seung put in a lot
-as well.
-Yeah.
But you received even more than that.
-You're right.
-Yeah.
Anyway, for me,
what matters is the final decision.
What about you?
Is your mind pretty much made up?
I don't think I ever asked you
how you feel about me.
-Are you asking me now?
-Yeah.
I think my mind
will be made up by tonight.
I'm scared to go back.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Pasta, right?
What's this? Interesting.
Thank you.
It's good.
Shall we have a drink?
Sounds good.
-Let's take our time.
-Okay.
Let's take our time, chatting and eating.
We can be an hour late.
-How many more hours do you want?
-Two more hours.
I'll take that and add two more.
"Take that and add two more"? Nice one.
-Was that good?
-Yeah.
"Phew"?
Phew.
Do you think you're different
around Hyun-jin compared to
when you're around me?
I'm completely different.
When I'm with Hyun-jin,
I become serious.
I have to think twice before I speak.
When I talked with Hyun-jin,
I'd have to always think twice
and I didn't feel that comfortable.
But when I was chatting with Ji-young,
I found myself at ease.
We exchanged a lot of funny jokes as well.
You see,
I couldn't really tell if that was
a positive thing or kind of negative.
It felt like he was
beating around the bush.
What about you?
-Comparing you to Jun-seung?
-Yeah.
With Jun-seung, it feels like
we're just friends.
With you,
I feel the way I used to feel
when I was in a relationship in the past.
-With me?
-Yeah.
The way we talk
and mess around. Things like that.
This is fun.
You don't like lettuce wraps?
-I like them.
-You do?
After this, I'll have a wrap.
When I saw
Si-hyun make the lettuce wrap,
I wasn't thinking much about it
as I thought it was for him.
Have this.
But he made a lettuce wrap for me.
So
I ate it off of his hand.
Want me to make you one?
-Shall we make one for each other?
-Okay.
Dip it in this sauce?
Sure.
Shall I try yours first?
-It's bound to be good.
-Yeah.
DID YOU KEEP MAKING
EACH OTHER LETTUCE WRAPS?
I don't think we made our own wraps.
We kept making it for each other.
It really did feel like a date
you'd have with a boyfriend.
Should we make time stand still?
It looks like your eyeballs are moving.
You failed just now, didn't you?
I went like this, but your eyes moved.
I'd talk to her, lock eyes with her,
and would just smile.
You weren't quite perfect.
I think that's why I felt
it was a comfortable conversation.
It felt like a very comfortable date.
What will it be like when we get back?
I don't think it's right to act like
-we had so much fun.
-Right, we both shouldn't.
I'm having such a good time.
I'm not really thinking
about the people back there,
but it may change when I get back.
When you make up your mind this evening,
you'll have to make your stance clear
-so as not to confuse the other person.
-Right.
Do you think you'll be clear
about how you feel then?
Yeah, when I make up my mind.
Man, I guess I'll lose sleep tonight.
I have a lot on my mind.
If he felt sure he liked Hyun-jin,
I don't think he would have
fed me, taken care of me,
and done things like that.
Since he showed that side to me,
I wondered if he had feelings for me too.
Is he not completely invested in Hyun-jin?
Perhaps I can win him over.
Those thoughts crossed my mind.
He clearly has feelings for her.
He wouldn't make a wrap if he didn't.
It'd be crazy if he didn't have feelings.
Ji-young keeps wondering
how strong his feelings are
for Hyun-jin and her, respectively.
She'll know this evening.
Is he playing the game Mafia?
He'll let her know by nightfall?
You're an "it guy."
FLICKING
Oh, look at you.
Acting pitiful.
Ouch. It hurts a bit here.
-I'm sad.
-I'm so sad.
"I'm sad" with a lisp. Like that?
-I hate that.
-No hands though.
Do you feel so much at ease
around Ji-young too?
I get all flustered.
She may like that you get flustered.
But I bet she doesn't even realize
that I get flustered.
-Since she doesn't know this side of you.
-Exactly. She has no idea.
She's only seen you being flustered.
"What's up with this guy?"
-"He's acting weird."
-That's all she knows.
-Isn't it about time they got back?
-They must be having fun.
Be careful.
LOOKING AT HER PHOTO GALLERY
-It was like a dream.
-Yeah.
Yeah, wake up.
I'm really curious
what they've been up to.
Are you finally getting curious?
You have nowhere to escape now.
I was torn.
I didn't want to go back,
but I also wanted to go back
and have a chat with Hyun-jin as well.
Let's say
there's someone who's coy like a fox
but acts clumsy like a bear
and there's someone
who's clumsy like a bear
but acts coy like a fox.
Which do you prefer?
Which do I prefer?
Definitely the bear acting like a fox.
I think you're the bear
that wants to be like a fox.
You're right. I am like a bear.
Yeah, I think you are.
What am I like?
You?
I think you're like a bear too.
I'm very much like a fox.
Saying that itself means he's a fox.
A bear wouldn't make a wrap for her.
It's cute, though.
That's why you're a bear.
I'm very much like a fox.
You're a fox? I'm not so sure.
Do you notice how I feel?
Not really.
You see?
I don't really see it.
I can't tell
how you feel.
You'll find out when we get there.
What about Hyun-jin?
What is she?
Why does she keep asking
about someone else?
She keeps bringing up Hyun-jin.
-She's wondering how he feels about her.
-Yeah.
What about Hyun-jin?
What is she?
She definitely isn't like a fox.
She's just a boss lady.
"Boss lady"?
I like someone who has a backbone.
Someone who can be honest with me
and not just considerate.
"I like this. I don't like that."
I think it's important in life to know
what I like and dislike.
Even when you're making a choice.
People used to say
that I have a backbone.
I was very straightforward
about what I like or dislike.
But the thing is,
when I'm with someone I really like,
I kind of become spineless.
He gave me the courage
to express my feelings
to him clearly.
Aren't you tired?
I think I am tired.
Get a shut-eye until we get there.
Did he touch her ear?
Didn't he just hold her head?
He can't do that!
Darn it. That hurts.
That gives you crazy butterflies.
I closed my eyes, then I fell asleep.
And Si-hyun supported my head
from falling to the side.
I was a bit surprised.
Since it was just the two of us,
he looked after me more attentively.
Everything about the date
gave me butterflies.
It was fun.
I think I'll remember the date
for a long time.
-I suppose they'll be back soon.
-You think so?
Will they have eaten?
If they want to eat,
I can start on the curry.
Ji-young said she wanted curry.
She was looking forward to it.
Should we make it?
He kept going on about curry all day.
Let's eat the curry later.
For dinner.
I'm going to eat a yummy dinner.
Curry.
If they want to eat something--
They have to eat curry.
That was a lot of guitar for me.
I'll play it again during dinner
over some curry.
So I thought,
"Okay, let's make that curry."
Shall we start making it then?
Shall we?
Which meat should I use?
We should make a lot
if we want it for breakfast too.
Let's put it all in.
Rich people curry.
Should we add some potatoes?
Is it going well?
Would you like to smell it?
I was helping him out too.
But I really don't like curry.
For a split second, I wondered,
"What am I doing here?"
I was making curry feeling unmotivated.
I should let it sit here for a while.
It smells nice. Looking good too.
If they can't eat it tonight,
feed it to them for breakfast.
-Those two?
-Yeah.
If they ask what we did,
should we say it's a secret?
-"It's a secret."
-"It's a secret."
We didn't get to
-eat Jun-seung's curry in the end.
-No, we didn't.
We're back.
-We're back.
-You're back.
We're back.
-Welcome back.
-I smell curry.
-For real.
-I've been making curry.
You haven't eaten yet?
We had lunch.
You haven't had dinner yet?
Did you already eat?
-I wanted to try your curry.
-Yeah.
So you did eat.
What did you do today?
-Why are you acting so formal?
-Oh, yeah.
-You sense crazy tension here, right?
-Yeah.
What is this?
This looks like a movie poster.
Right now,
Ji-young is looking back at them,
he's doing the dishes…
This is insane.
-You're here.
-Hi.
Hello.
-What did you do?
-The curry smell is super strong.
I'm hungry.
You didn't eat yet?
I wanted to try the curry.
It looks like they've already eaten.
Taste it.
-It's hot.
-Okay.
-Is it good?
-Yeah.
That's it.
So good.
-So nice and smooth, right?
-Yeah.
She wouldn't even make eye contact.
They were just busy making curry.
I was wondering what was going on.
-I'll get changed.
-Okay.
I spoke to him formally
without even realizing it.
Is she washing up?
What?
Is Ji-young washing up?
She's brushing her teeth.
She spoke formally to him.
Why so formal?
What's going on here?
It's a bit awkward.
We're awkward
because you were gone for six hours.
It felt so awkward.
All of a sudden,
we were speaking formally.
Hello, there.
What's wrong?
What was your date like?
Can you not tell us?
You can find out when it airs.
-"Find out when it airs"?
-Yeah.
"You can find out when it airs."
That's what she said. I wondered,
"What's going on?"
After hearing that, I realized
that something may be going on
between those two.
I felt uncomfortable about revealing
that we filled ourselves
with delicious food on our date.
-Unbelievable.
-But they did eat a lot.
They must've eaten a lot
at the restaurant.
Thanks for dinner.
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Should I get some kimchi?
Do you want kimchi?
-I'm okay.
-I'm fine.
-I don't like kimchi.
-I'm okay.
Okay.
-Come back and sit.
-Sit.
I've never had this before.
What is it? Spicy…
-Slightly spicy?
-Slightly spicy.
Do the two of you like it?
-Do the two of you like it?
-Yeah.
Yeah.
-Is it good?
-Yes.
Okay. Eat up.
I was full,
but I felt like
if I said I didn't want any,
it would hurt Jun-seung's feelings.
And I felt uneasy too.
I think Si-hyun felt the same way too.
I was very conscious of Hyun-jin.
She seemed very subdued.
I was kind of worried about Jun-seung.
They're eating it,
but you could tell that
they were eating it to be polite.
So I was wondering if he was okay.
If you don't want it, give it to me.
You're just nibbling at it.
You know what? I use that method too.
You want to say something
to one person, but you say it to another.
He actually wants to say that
to the other two.
But if he said that to them,
it would make it awkward
so he said to Hyun-jin,
"You're just nibbling at it."
"Just give it to me."
If you don't want it, give it to me.
You're just nibbling at it.
I am eating it. Leave me alone.
It's like we know them,
but it felt like we became a bit distant.
I couldn't look them in the eyes.
It's nighttime.
-What?
-It's nighttime.
Man, what's up with this silence?
What on earth is going on?
It feels awkward since it's been a while.
-Right? Me too.
-Yeah.
-I feel distant.
-It feels weird.
What's up with the silence?
-Be formal again?
-It's a little weird.
They're acting so strange.
-I know. They're making it weird.
-Yeah.
-We're the only ones who've been talking.
-Yeah.
-No, what are you saying?
-No, that's not true.
What kind of date did you go on
that it's so awkward in here?
We went to a cafe,
then to the beach, and had some hoe.
We went to Samcheok.
It took a little over an hour.
Yeah, it was the kind of date
that I think a couple would go on.
I felt troubled.
Ji-young did say she wanted to
go on a date that couples would go on.
It felt like the two of them
got very close.
Yeah.
I realized that there may have been
a slight change in Ji-young's heart.
Thankfully, we didn't walk there.
Sounds fun.
I'm sure that those two
had way more fun than us,
but they tried not to show it.
That felt different
from when they got back
from the convenience store date.
Jun-seung and Ji-young's vibe
after they got back
from the convenience store date
was so different
from Si-hyun and Ji-young's vibe.
It felt strange.
And I started feeling awkward
around them as well.
Because I was with Jun-seung
the whole day, I started talking like him.
And because I was looking at him all day,
I couldn't even remember
what the other two looked like.
But when I saw them…
I figured they must've had fun.
-She must really like him.
-Yeah.
I think I'd be more emotional
if I was in there too
because being in touch
with your emotions is all you do there.
You're completely focused
on your emotions.
Usually, you have work and friends,
but in there…
-You have too much time to think.
-That's right.
The two that went out got to
hang out for seven hours.
Those two that were left behind thought
about the other two for seven hours
and made curry.
Should I play the guitar?
Yeah.
Any requests?
Play something you're good at.
Do I have to sing too?
Yeah.
Yeah? Okay.
I'm getting nervous.
Look away.
I'd be nervous too
if I were you.
-Just ease into it.
-Okay.
Suddenly?
I'll play some background music then.
-Okay.
-Hey.
Hang on.
What's this?
-A special benefit?
-No.
YOU'LL PLAY A LOVE MARBLE GAME
WITH A SPECIAL BENEFIT AT STAKE
What's this?
-Love Marble.
-Love Marble.
Marble?
This is your last night,
and you'll play the Love Marble game.
Pick your game piece and roll the dice
to find out how
the other person is feeling.
The first person to finish
two laps of the board
will be given a special benefit.
-Shall we go?
-Okay.
What's going on?
What's this?
I couldn't really focus on that, though.
Love Marble.
Is it similar to Blue Marble?
What is this?
What is this?
It's probably like Truth-or-Dare.
I was happy because I got a chance
to ask questions.
When I saw the board,
I didn't really care about trying to win.
I just wasn't in the mood to play.
Two laps.
This is my last chance,
so I'm going to use this game to be
be completely honest about my feelings
and make sure I have no regrets.
I wanted to know how Hyun-jin felt
through the game.
When I saw Hyun-jin's face
when we got back…
-You're here.
-Hi.
Hello.
I wasn't completely indifferent about her,
so I realized that even though I was
on a date with Ji-young for six hours,
I still had some feelings for Hyun-jin.
-Did everyone understand the rules?
-Yes.
Put it here.
Okay, let me pour a drink for everyone.
START
-The eldest can go first.
-The eldest.
-Clock-wise, starting with the winner?
-Okay.
-Rock-paper-scissors.
-Scissors.
-You go.
-Me?
-Yeah.
-Oh.
You're good.
HYUN-JIN
Oh my. Sorry about that.
"Say one thing you find attractive about
the two people of the opposite sex."
First of all,
-Jun-seung is
-Yes?
an exceptionally good singer.
And Si-hyun
is mature.
Yes.
SI-HYUN
"Ask one question to the person
of your choice."
"The person cannot reject it."
THE ROOM OF TRUTH
I pick Jun-seung.
-Show some respect.
-My bad.
How did you feel
during the six hours today?
I was feeling glad.
It was actually for the better.
So I was just glad.
JI-YOUNG
HAVE A NICE, COLD DRINK
-Did you do that on purpose?
-You wanted to drink.
JUN-SEUNG
"The Room of Truth."
"Ask one question
to the person of your choice."
I'd like to ask Si-hyun a question.
How was your date today?
It was fun.
We had good food.
It was refreshing.
I could clear my mind.
You could clear your mind?
You're up.
Okay.
HYUN-JIN
THE ROOM OF TRUTH
"The Room of Truth."
-I pick Ji-young.
-Okay.
Of everything you've eaten here until now,
what was the best?
She's asking if it's hoe or curry.
They're so different.
Honestly, isn't hoe better?
-Hoe or curry.
-Jeez.
Be honest.
They ate a whole lot of hoe
and barely touched the curry.
Do you know what else is annoying?
Dummies like me
-You'd pick the yummiest one?
-would really pick what I found yummy.
Of everything you've eaten here until now,
what was the best?
-Of everything I ate here?
-Yeah.
Hoe.
SI-HYUN
"Ask one question to the person
of your choice."
I pick Ji-young.
If you had one date pass,
who would you go on a date with?
I pick you.
JI-YOUNG
"Name the moment
that gave you the most butterflies here."
At the hoe restaurant,
when Si-hyun and I
fed each other hoe lettuce wraps.
She said that
-on purpose.
-Of course she did.
But you know what?
The person who's most shocked is Si-hyun.
He was probably so surprised.
"She just shared that?"
He probably wanted to hide that.
Of course he did.
Because he has his options open.
He was shocked. Si-hyun would have--
-"Why did you say that?"
-"Why did you say that?"
"Wasn't that a secret between you and me?"
But it is entertaining.
At the hoe restaurant,
when Si-hyun and I
fed each other raw fish lettuce wraps.
Oh my gosh!
-He shut his eyes tightly.
-He shut them tightly.
"Jeez, why did you say that?"
-"Man, I'm in trouble."
-Yeah.
This is so fun!
It's me.
JUN-SEUNG
"Feed a snack
to someone you're interested in."
What would be good?
Have this one.
-Ji-young.
-Oh, it's me?
Hyun-jin.
Wasn't that like a movie scene?
That was like a scene
from Reply 1997.
"Friend? Whatever." It's that line.
-He was like Seo In-guk.
-He was Seo In-guk.
Wow.
That was cool.
I'd get crazy butterflies.
Have you made your final decision?
I feel like a wavering reed
in a field of reeds.
I had to see it with my own eyes
and hear it with my ears.
It was hard.
Hyun-jin, if I asked you right now,
would you be my girlfriend?
It wasn't just us that had a good time
during those six hours?
-Did you expect it?
-I regretted it.
Is it okay to feel regret?
How would it have been
if I hadn't gone for Ji-young?
If you hadn't gone for her?
I was hiding my feelings.
I kept thinking about Hyun-jin.
It's the end, but I still don't know.
It can't be me.
