THE LOVE LAB
Let's go to sleep now.
We're going to be so exhausted tomorrow.
Time for sleep.

-Please be understanding,

-Huh?

if I start snoring because I'm tired.
I can't hear it anyway.

-I know, but still…

-I'll be fine.


I might start snoring

before you fall asleep.


-If I fall asleep before you do…

-I'll be fine.

I won't be able to hear it.
I can't even hear my alarm go off.
Good night.

-Good night.

-Night.


It felt like

we were lovers
in that moment.
So…

I fell asleep feeling so happy.


I was watching Myung-ju sleep.


She didn't sleep

with her mouth open or anything.


She was so adorable asleep,

like a child.
And…

even now, thinking about that

makes my heart race with excitement.

I've realized this as I was watching them.
A romantic spark can develop in bed.

I thought, "Wow, this actually works"

as I was watching too.

It is working.
Also, when you think

-about being in bed,

-Yeah.


-it feels a bit saucy.

-Right.


But two adults can be

so pure and innocent even in bed.

It doesn't feel steamy or anything.

-Not at all.

-None.

It's not like that at all.
It actually felt like

they were looking so purely

at each other.

I know.

-It's full of surprises.

-I know.

What's amazing about Chan-yang is that…
Myung-ju is constantly on his radar.
I admire his consistency.

I felt like he wasn't so considerate

of Myung-ju and just kept going


at his own pace

instead of slowing it down at first,

but that's not the case now.

He hasn't exactly slowed down,

but he is adjusting to her.

Yeah.
Did you sleep well?

-Oh, no. I'm so sleepy.

-What?

I'm so sleepy. I can't get up.
This is bad.
I had so many dreams overnight.
Why did you dream about me?
It was a very meaningless, strange dream.
I don't want to get up. I'm so sleepy.
Wake up, Chan-yang.

WAKING UP

STEP : BRUSH TEETH


WAKING UP

STEP : MAKE COFFEE

Ma'am, time to wake up.
Gosh, I don't want to work. No, I have to.
I have to.
Hey, it's coffee.
TOOTHBRUSH DELIVERY HAS ARRIVED

-Here you go.

-Thanks.


I didn't expect to wake up like this.


Maybe it's because I felt relaxed.


Waking up wasn't so painful.

You were tired yesterday, right?
You were sleepy, weren't you?
I felt tired from time to time,
but when I lay down,

I fell asleep

like someone tranquilized me.

"Whoosh." Like that.
Then, I woke up.
I didn't take any pills last night,
but I fell asleep immediately.

Last night,

I fell asleep without taking any pills.
I didn't even think of taking them.

When I said I was tired,

Chan-yang just held my hand.


We just ended up holding hands.


And as soon as he held my hand,


I fell asleep.


-Good night.

-Night.

I really did fall asleep just like this.
For real.
I was surprised
that I could fall asleep so easily
without taking my pills.
How sparkly.
I like things like this.

-Really? Can I?

-Yeah.

These are very heavy, though.
But I like heavy clothes.

-Really?

-Yeah.


Clothes have to be weighty

for a better silhouette.

You must like winter then
rather than summer. Maybe not?
I like summer.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I like the summer.
I absolutely love winter.

-Really?

-I hate the summer.

Because it's hot?
Which do you prefer, snow or rain?

-Snow.

-Snow?

It feels nice to have snow fall on you.
Really? We're the total opposite.
I prefer rain.
Do you like standing in the rain?
Yeah, I prefer rain.
I think snow makes me sentimental.
More so than cherry blossoms.
I think it's so pretty.
We're the total opposite on this.

What do you listen to

while you're driving?

Old ballads.
Me too. I only listen to ballads.
Or…
CCM.
Chan-yang should come on
my YouTube channel instead.

-Jeez.

-CCM?

CCM?

-I noticed when I heard your name.

-Yeah.


-Are you a cradle Christian, then?

-Yeah.

My family is Buddhist.

-Really?

-Yeah.


I oddly feel at ease

when I go to a Buddhist temple.


I feel the same way. When I'm struggling

or when something important is going on…

Let's say I'm going to meet you next week.
I'd get nervous, right?
Then, I would go to church
and find some peace of mind.
Something like that.

-If I make plans way beforehand,

-Yeah?


-I feel burdened.

-Why?

It weighs on me.
Really? How interesting.

So I think I prefer things to be

more organic and spontaneous.


But I don't like being called out

to a meal suddenly.

You see, I hate unexpected changes.
That's tricky.
Huh? What is?
Oh, they're really polar opposites.
Hey, Chan-yang is acting weird.

-He seems a bit distant.

-Yeah.


Does he feel a bit hesitant

because of her religion?


I thought our conversation

flowed well until yesterday.


But we kept disagreeing

on everything today.


I could clearly tell that we were

so different when it came to making plans.

I'm very worried
that we might not be compatible.
Very worried.
See you.

-Take care.

-See you.

Drive safe.

-Be careful

-Okay.


-driving in the rain.

-Drive safe.


-Okay. Be safe.

-Drive safe


-and see you later.

-See you later.

Gosh.
Just like that,
she has
left.
MYUNG-JU GETS READY FOR BED
What?
HE SENSES MYUNG-JU'S PRESENCE
RETREATS
SCRATCHING HIS HEAD
TIPTOEING
SAFELY GOT TO THE ROOM
Myung-ju!
What? No!
I'm not ready yet.
No, not now.
RETURNS TO WHERE HE WAS
No.
Hi.

-I made poor judgment.

-What do you mean?


I got here much earlier than you,

so I thought I had enough time,


so I took a hot shower

for a really long time.

I should've been quicker.

-I didn't think things through.

-Are you done?

I just need to dry my hair.
I'm going to wash up.
Okay.
PEEKING OUT
RUSHES OUT
SAFELY GOT READY FOR BED
You know,
this is our last night.
I was just about to say that.
It's really the last.

-It's our last night.

-How bizarre.

How did I
develop
these feelings
in just three days
for a woman I just met?
Well, that's
what I find really interesting too.
I didn't expect this at all.

-I know.

-Yeah.

Honestly, before I came here,

I thought I could stay neutral

throughout the whole thing.


-Yeah?

-That's what I thought.

But I keep
getting reeled in by you.
I don't think so at all.

Really?

I think I'm totally getting reeled in.

Really? You just pumped the brakes.
No,
if I'm not interested in someone,
I'd just pull back

-like this.

-I see.

But that's how it feels.
What?

-I've felt like I'm getting pulled in.

-Really?


-That's the feeling that I got from you.

-Really?

He seems a bit upset.

-He's a bit upset.

-Yeah.

Myung-ju isn't very expressive, you see.

He fell in love

and broke up all by himself.

It's driving me nuts.

-That's the feeling that I got from you.

-Really?

I thought you were pulling me in.

-Really?

-Yeah.

For example,
you went, "We should hold hands."

-"That's what it said. Didn't you see?"

-Yeah.

But that was kind of a joke, right?
Was it real?
That's how I understood
that text.
SHAMELESS
You see,
I thought you lied to me,

but I still found myself

holding your hand.

If I hadn't had feelings for you,
I wouldn't have held your hand.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Things like that kept happening,

and it felt like

I was following your lead.


-Really?

-I didn't know that's how you felt.


-Really?

-Yeah.

You see,
I really can't tell.
What do you mean?
I can't tell how you feel.

-Me?

-I don't think you dislike me,

but I don't think you like me either.
Really?
I don't think you like me either.
You see,
it's just really hard to tell.

-Really?

-So…

if you like me, just say so.

-I like you.

-Look.

"I like you."
But it's too soon to be there.
He was probably telling her

how she should express herself,

not telling her how he feels.

But didn't he just say, "I like you"?

-I like you.

-Look.

I'm being really expressive right now.
Maybe I am
a bit on the reserved side?
I express myself…
How should I put this?
Say, "I like you."
I can't.
You know…
It's about time you fell for me.

-Chan-yang is frustrated.

-Jeez. Come on, Chan-yang.

Chan-mi!

-He's frustrated.

-It's only been three days!

That bed is what made him act like that.
Myung-ju seems to be enjoying it, though.
He's frustrated.
It's about time you fell for me.
Myung-ju does like him.

When he said,

"It's about time you fell for me,"


-she laughed.

-Yeah.


But she could've laughed

because it was awkward.

If she'd felt awkward,
she would've laughed like this.

-Like, "Why, all of a sudden?"

-If she'd felt awkward,


she would've laughed like this.

Not like that.

It didn't feel like she was scoffing.
It's about time you fell for me.
Until when are you going to keep…

-Let me be honest.

-Okay.


-I don't know your approach to dating,

-Okay.

so that's why I came to that conclusion.
Right.
So,
I should…
express
how I feel even more…
If you do more, I may pass out.

-I wouldn't know how to respond.

-Really?

Yeah.
When you get flustered,
I find that cute.
But
I don't know if that's awkward laughter
or if it's because you like me.
So I want to
get closer to you,
but I don't want to overwhelm you.

-I had a different kind of concern.

-Go on.

I think I'm an overthinker.

Whenever you're direct

and straightforward with your feelings…


-Wow.

-What?

You know what?
What?
You have nice skin.
Come on. No.

-No, I don't.

-It's glowing.

It's radiant.
No, it isn't.
I think I might go blind.
Jeez. I forgot what I was about to say!
Did I reel you in again?
Yeah. What was I going to say?
I'm a little concerned whether you're

this direct with your feelings

even when you're not in this situation.

Yeah, I thought that too.
I think this is how she felt.
"Is he doing this for show?"
She could think that way.
Even I wondered

if he would act like that

when the camera is off.


But I think you should

just let go of thinking


whether they're doing this

because they're on camera or not


-since you've joined this show.

-Right.


That's why Myung-ju is wondering

if she's overthinking it.

Let's keep watching.
I'm a little concerned whether you're

this direct with your feelings

even when you're not in this situation.

What do you think?

-But…

-Yeah?

Give me your hand.

-Why?

-Come on.


-I'll tell you something crazy.

-What?

You see…

-What is it? Okay.

-You see,


-it's a secret.

-Yes?

But if you want to find out…
you'd have to choose me.
Now…
Jeez. Come on.

-Don't be like that.

-No.

Come on.

-Don't be like that.

-Hey!

Come on.
The truth is…
Honestly, I have just been
expressing the way I feel.
You know,

regardless of whether we're

in this environment or outside of it,

if I felt how I feel now,
I would act the same.

-Regardless of where we are.

-I see.

I can be so direct because I like you.
I was secretly worried about that.
I think that's natural, though.

"We met yesterday,

but he's acting like this?"

I agree. It doesn't make sense.
That's why I was worried
since I'm also interested in you.
In the end,
that may be your defense mechanism.
You know, wanting to be sure.

I definitely have

a strong defense mechanism.


I'm afraid of getting hurt.

What could it be?
Hang on.
DO NOT DISCUSS

YOU CAN GO ON A "SPA DATE"

IF YOU BOTH WANT IT

TEXT "YES" OR "NO"
THEY FEEL THE SAME WAY

THE SPA DATE PASS HAS BEEN ISSUED

GET READY BY : P.M.


AND COME TO THE SPA CIMER

WITH YOUR SWIMSUITS


-By : p.m.

-We only have minutes left.

Is that okay?
I just need to pack the swimsuit.
Let me change first.
We have to bring our swimsuits, right?
I think so.

-Wow. Hang on.

-You know what?

Wait. Swimsuit time.

Her feelings may get stronger

when she sees Chan-yang's body.

I thought the same.
Let's go.
They told us to hold hands.
Didn't you know that?
I think I missed that part.
Why do you keep seeing things differently?
You should read it with your heart.

CIMER

SPA DATE


I felt awkward about just meeting him


for the first time in pajamas,


but this was

a different kind of awkwardness.

It's this way.
Awesome.
It's so pretty.
Awesome.
This place is amazing.
It's so pretty.
Is that a screen?

-The vibe is insane.

-Yeah.

It really does feel like

-the sun in setting.

-Yeah.

I feel awkward right now.

-Why do you feel awkward?

-I don't know.


-Really?

-Yeah.

It feels so strange.

Oh my. She's feeling bashful.

She must be nervous.

She froze up.
You're right.
I sense some tension here.

I got nervous


as if I was meeting him

for the first time.

Does this ring carry a meaning?

The record I want to achieve

is engraved on it.

It's .?
Yeah, . seconds.
That's the record I want to achieve.
Wow, cool.
You know,
the pool makes me feel excited.
And I also…
feel a bit nervous.
I feel…
kind of nervous.

I'm getting tense

without even realizing it.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND

-No, not that.

-What?

Not that.

We kept holding hands.

He kept reaching for my hand.

The feeling of holding hands

in the hallway of the hotel


and holding hands in the pool

were so different.

I felt like our relationship deepened
when we held hands in the pool.
We only spent time together in bed,
but we talked a lot, didn't we?
Since it's a place that provides comfort,

we were probably able to

speak more comfortably too.


The bed
is
a place of comfort,

but
our conversations flowed so well

that I was able to talk

even more comfortably.

As I listened to you talk just now,
I felt like
you're truly opening up to me.
Back then,
I think I was a bit confused,
but now,
I think I can feel your genuine feelings.
I was surprised when you said

-you weren't sure how I felt.

-Right.


Well, I
was
confused.

So?
It was reassuring.

I felt like she wouldn't feel

overwhelmed if I got closer.

I thought I could
move forward as much as I want to.
Since I was
the one
that always went to you,
you should come to me this time.
Okay.
It's shallow but scary.

I can't control my body.

I'm floating around.

Even though I'm kneeling,

-I'm floating around.

-Really?

I see!

I told her that

since I always went to her,

she should come to me this time.
And I didn't mean just in that situation.
With a subtle smile,
she came toward me with her hand out.

I felt like my feelings were conveyed

at least a little bit.


I feel more certain now.


He kept reassuring me that he wanted

this thing between us to go on,

so I thought I should try harder
to express how I feel in words.

-Things are looking great.

-Yeah.


-Yeah, it's perfect.

-Yeah.

Chan-yang slowed down a bit
as he was confused,

and since he was confused,

Myung-ju made the move.

I think they've reached a point

where they're confirming

their attraction for each other.

Man, I wonder how old you are.

It doesn't matter anymore,

but I
am
curious.

Right? It doesn't matter to me either.
How old do you think I am?
Four?
Be more specific.

-I guess ?

-You think I'm ?

I'm guessing or ?
You think or ? Okay.
What about me?
Twenty…
nine? Eight? Nine?
I'm curious.

By the way, is there a celebrity

people say you look like?

Not really.

-Not really?

-No, not really.

What about you?
Who do you think I look like?
Does anyone come to mind?
Actually,
I thought I shouldn't tell you this.

Even if I were to tell you,

I was going to do it later on.

What is it?
You look just like my dad.

-Really?

-Yeah.

You look just like my dad.
It feels like I’m looking at my dad.
For real.

-Really?

-Yeah.

We made eye contact even closer
than we would lying in bed.
I saw him smiling from the side,
and it was as if my dad was there.
I really didn't want to tell him.
He looked so similar that it felt
uncanny.

Actually, my father and I

were far from close.

But he loved me very much.
He passed away a while ago.

He passed away

when I was in my mid-twenties.

I hated him so much.
But now that I think about it,
I realize that it was love.
I just viewed him
with hatred.
So when I saw Chan-yang, I was amazed.
How can he look so similar to my dad?
That's how I felt.

If I put my dad's, my younger brother's,

and your photo next to one another

and asked, "Who is his son?"
People might pick you.

-I'm curious now.

-Seriously.

You look just like him.
I want to have a meal with him.

-What?

-I want to have a meal with him.

What is it?

-Really?

-I wasn't sure if I should tell you.

If I did, it was going to be later.
But you look just like him.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I'm curious.
You really look exactly like him.

I thought, "Oh, no."


I realized that she could be reminded

of her late dad when she sees me.

She hasn't dated in six years.
I thought the passing of her father
may have played a part.

The reason why

she has a defense mechanism

could also be because of that.

So, I thought I'd have to be

more careful and responsible

in the way I express my feelings
for Myung-ju.
I'm cold.
Let's go.
Let's go.

-Warm broth?

-Yeah, I want some warm broth.


-You look so comfortable right now.

-I really am.

Yeah, you look totally at ease.
I feel like I'm home.

I didn't think

I'd feel comfortable here at first.


I thought I wouldn't be able to

adapt to this until the end.


-When you first got here?

-Yeah.


We had to share

the bathroom and shower.


And sharing a bed is obviously

more uncomfortable


-than using it on your own.

-Yeah.


So I thought it could be

difficult to feel settled.

But you settled in so well.
Totally.
The water is done boiling.
You didn't see this, did you?
What is that?
What is it?

-Want to try this?

-Okay.


-Oh, Question Cards.

-Question Cards.


-Sounds fun.

-I hope

they don't sleep tonight.

Yeah, don't sleep tonight.

It's the last night. Just stay up.


-I know.

-You don't sleep much anyway.

So why are you sleeping so much here?
Hang on.

-Am I wrong?

-You startled me there.


-Who should pick one first?

-Me.


"Tell me honestly

what kind of person you are."

I tend to be pretty cautious.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I easily get scared,
but I don't want people to know that.

-Yeah, that's right.

-Yeah.

You didn't let me notice.
You were being vague and confusing.
I am
a bit on the soft side.
Next question.
Why am I getting sweaty?
I'm flustered.
Is it my turn now?
Yes.
Tell me how we are similar.
We both have bold features.
I have bold features?

I think the only bold feature I have

is my eyebrows.

Mine is my eyebrows too.

-We
are
similar then.

-Yeah.

MYUNG-JU'S TURN TO ANSWER

-How are we similar?

-Yeah.

CUFFING HIMSELF TO HER
I think…
Oh my. Look at that.
Oh my.
That was smooth.
It was. Not bad at all.
That was smooth.

-You should wear a hair tie from now.

-Okay.

I did, but…
Come on.

-What?

-Nothing.

Rather than us being similar…
To be completely honest,
I think we're very different people.

-We're very different people,

-Okay.

but we really click.
I think we can adjust to each other
and make things work.
That's me.
No, leave it.
I'm losing circulation, though.
I'm not trying to get out of it.

-Whatever.

-I really am losing circulation.

Seriously.
Whatever.
Wait. One moment.
When Myung-ju says
things like "I'm losing circulation…"
He can lose confidence, right?
Right, from Chan-yang's perspective…
It can feel like rejection.
"Why does she keep pushing me away?"
"Why can't she just play along?"

-Let's see what she does.

-Okay.

"What are your thoughts on marriage?"
Marriage?
Should I go first?
Yes.
I used to be against marriage.
Okay.

But there was a time period

when I went to weddings frequently.

I wondered what made those people
decide to get married.
So when I asked them,

they said that things went so smoothly

while they were dating that


they just woke up one day and found

themselves walking down the aisle.


-Most married people say that.

-Yeah.

So I really want to get married now.
If I meet someone I connect with,
I want things to flow naturally

and have a pretty daughter

and a handsome son.

I really want to see
"my people" waiting for me
when I come home.
Now, no matter who I meet,

I think about whether

we'd be compatible in terms of marriage.

That's where I stand.

I think I'm more excited

about the child I'll have

than about the person I'd marry.

-Yeah?

-Yes.


So if you ask me what kind of person

I want to marry,


it'd be someone who would be

a good father to our child.

Yeah, that's a good point.

If I lived my life to the fullest

before having kids,


I think I'd live just as hard for my child

after having them.

So,

while getting a husband that suits me

and forming a family with him matter,


I really want someone who can be

a good adult for my child.


I've never met someone

who's thought about it that deeply.

Actually, I wondered if her late dad

may have affected her thinking

about marriage and family too.


She doesn't just want

a good person or a good husband.

She wants a good father.
It made me think
that I should take this more seriously.

I started thinking I need to be

more careful in how I treat this person.

What you said is so true.
If they cannot be a good parent,
I don't think I can marry them either.
Listening to your thoughts
has made me think once again
that I want to be that kind of person.

When I ask, "Who do you like more,

your dad or your mom?"

I want them to say, "Dad."
I want a family

where the children love

to play with their dad.

When I add Chan-yang
to the future I'm picturing for myself,
the Chan-yang in that picture
doesn't seem out of place.
I can picture him getting told off by me
after getting caught while he was trying

to take our kid out

to go exercising behind my back.


I can picture him

playing with our kid, like their friend.

Wow.
For real?
She's picturing them being married?
For real?
After just three days?

-That's why it's confusing.

-From a year ago…

Ding.
We can reveal our age now.
YOU MAY NOW REVEAL YOUR AGE
We can reveal it now.
Finally.

We can finally find out.


Chan-yang thinks that I am

so much younger than I actually am.

He thought I was only years old
or years old, at most.
So I felt pretty devastated.
Man, I don't want to go first.
Should I go first?
Okay.
I was born in .

-Born in ?

-Yeah.

I am

years old

since I haven't had my birthday yet.

I am…

-I was

-Yeah?

born in .
I was born in .
I am--

-For real?

-Yeah.

Since I haven't had my birthday yet,

-I am years old.

-No way.

How?
What?
I was born in .
FROZE UP

I'm really good at telling

how old people are.


So I thought she'd be

a year or two older or younger

than how old I thought she is.
But I never would've guessed
she'd be older than me.
He was so shocked.
"You're lying."
"How? No way."
That was the vibe.
I would've never guessed.

-I was…

-How?

born in .

You kept saying you think

I'm younger than you.

I was certain you are younger than me.
I was so sure of it.
I'm sure you are four years younger.

I definitely think she's about

six years younger than me.

I'm guessing or ?
You think or ? Okay.

HIS GUESS FOR HER AGE

WENT DOWN EVERY DAY


How could you be older than me

with that face?


Why did you think that?

I am really curious.


-Look in the mirror.

-Huh?

You'll find out why.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I've never heard that before.

Probably because I always have

my hair slicked back

and wear suits,
I've never heard that before.
It was so fascinating
and made me feel guilty at the same time.
Out of all the moments we've talked,
you seem the most shaken
right now.
Ma'am.

-Don't call me that.

-Seriously though.

Ma'am.
You know what though?
This is kind of fun.

-What is?

-It's another unexpected twist.


DAY THREE

DO YOU FEEL ATTRACTED TO THE OTHER PERSON?


IF YOU DO, TEXT "YES" WITH A REASON

AND RATE YOUR ATTRACTION OUT OF %

IF NOT, TEXT "NO" WITH A REASON

-This is so cruel.

-Why?

Nothing.

I was so annoyed at the producers.

Right after he found out my age,

they asked

if we had feelings for each other.

I felt pretty devastated.

I wondered if he was

disappointed by the age reveal.


I was born in .

That's way older than or years old.


I thought his mind may have changed.

Myung-ju is overthinking it.
No, she got it wrong.

YES

%, NO CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY


-It's %.

-What?


Actually, I wanted to explain more,


but I didn't have

the wherewithal to do it.


Hearing Chan-yang typing


made me incapable of doing anything.

I went, "What did he write?"

"Could he have switched to 'No'

just because of my age?"


YES %, I LIKE HOW SHE CLEARLY EXPRESSED

HOW SHE FELT SO THAT I'M NOT CONFUSED

It's %!

Of course, my heart was at %,


but the last % is

not something I can fill.


I think it will become

% if I get chosen.

That's why I wrote %.
Myung-ju, ma'am.
Don't call me that.
Look at her talking cute.
See how she said, "Don't call me that."
Play that again.

-All right.

-Talking cute is my specialty, you know.


-Analyze it for us, sir.

-Okay. Let me take a look.

Myung-ju, ma'am.
Don't call me that.

-"Don't call me that."

-"Don't call me that."

"Don't call me that."
Stop it!
You're so adorable.
Stop. Don't call me that.
I'll just call you Myung-ju.
Have you ever dated someone older?

-Did you send it?

-Yes.

Have you ever dated someone older?

-Have you dated someone older?

-Yeah.


-Really?

-Yeah.

You're sleepy, aren't you?
Your eyes are red too.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Your eyes are red too.
You know, this is so fun.

-How can this person be

-What?

older than me? It's so fascinating.
What made you think I was younger?
FIDGETING

Ta-ta-da-ta-ta


Ta-ta-da-da-ta-da

Isn't he humming "Wedding March"?

Ta-ta-ta-ta


-Was it that song?

-Wasn't it?


Ta-ta-da-ta-ta

No, it's totally different. My bad.
But watch this.
It's coming. Focus.
Did you see that?
The little tap above her lip.

-No, down here. On her chin.

-On her chin.


-Was it because she was so cute?

-It
was
because she was so cute.

Now, they're trying to resist kissing.
Bam.
Bam.
What am I supposed to do with my pinky?
Jeez.
Why is that important?
You sleep with your ring on?

When I wear accessories,

I don't take them off.

If I sleep with my earrings on,
I get scared my ears would get ripped.
Really?
Hey, you look gorgeous right now.
Myung-ju.
What time are we going to sleep tonight?
When we're sleepy?
I have to brush my teeth.
Oh, yeah.

I got you your toothbrush this morning,

so get it for me now.

Get it for me, Myung-ju.
Okay.

He said he becomes a bit soft

when he dates someone.

And I think the way he talks has changed.

He started talking

in a cute and affectionate way.

I found it cute.
I'd never seen that side of him before.
Okay, hold it like this.
What's up?
Ma'am.
HE GOT SMACKED IN THE END

It's midnight.

IT IS ALREADY PAST MIDNIGHT

I thought I'd have to

take pills every day.

Did you see that?
That's my magic.

-I usually take it every day.

-I tire people out.

Come on. You don't.

It made me happy to think

that she might be sleeping well

because she's with me.
It worried me when I saw Myung-ju
struggling to fall asleep
and having a hard time waking up.
So I find it cute when she's fast asleep

and I just want to tuck her in

and take care of her.


-You know what I mean, right?

-Your hair's a mess.

It's okay. I like the messy look.
Can we sleep
holding hands tonight as well?

-What?

-You know what?

When we held hands last night…
LAST NIGHT

I thought I'd toss and turn.


But I fell asleep

not long after we held hands.

That's my magic.

I'm sleepy,

but I feel like I shouldn't sleep.

Don't sleep.
Hey, that's my bunny.

-I'm suffocating it.

-Hey.

Hey, it's my bunny.

-Isn't it so cuddly, though?

-Yes, totally.

It's perfect for me.

No, it's perfect for
me
.

I can't let you have it.
What's this?
It's cat hair.
Is it?
I miss my cat.
Me too.
I want to see it too.
My cat is really cute.

-But my cat recognizes people.

-Really?

It is wary of strangers at first.

But if it sees the person

a couple of times, it'll remember them.


-Awesome.

-Then, it gets less wary.

It's really cool to see.
Cool.
You aren't that impressed.
Yes, I am.

-I'm so curious.

-You're not impressed at all.

I'm so curious about it.

They act like they'll die

if they don't hold hands.

Gosh, it's really our last night together.
I don't want to go back
to my everyday life.

-It's sadder knowing it's our last night.

-Yeah.

It feels kind of weird.

I don't know how to describe it,

but it's weird.

Well, I'm sad.
Why?

We're warming up to each other,

feeling more comfortable,


and getting closer to each other,

but it feels like it's ending.

We can't have this anymore.

-You see--

-You mean, this environment?


-We have to leave this place.

-Yeah.

It's so nice right now, though.
Well, I don't feel sad because I think

we've had all the conversations

we can have in here.

Really?

-Yeah.

-You have no regrets.


-No.

-We talked as much as we could.

But

if there are things that we haven't

had the chance to talk about yet,


I think those are conversations

that will come in time.


This situation we're in

is a special setup,


-and unusual things keep happening, right?

-Yeah.

I think I'll keep thinking about it.
It's a shame this is ending,
but I'm not sad about it.

-What is it?

-Really?

No, I'm not sad.

What comes next is

really up to us, isn't it?

You're right, but I think
I'm focused on this moment.

-What comes next is

-I see.

definitely important
and we shouldn't not think about it,

but I so love

what I'm feeling right now

and this environment.

It feels like a dream,

and I don't want to wake up from it.

So…

I feel even sadder

to think that this is our last night.


-No, don't say that.

-No.


-Stop talking.

-Stop.


The reason why

that sounds so bad is because


it sounds like he did his best there,

and he can't be this good in real life.


-You're right.

-Why are you sad? It's just the beginning!

I get what Chan-yang is trying to say.

-But the way he phrased it was--

-I know.


He should say that he's excited

about their lives outside of this.


-Right.

-He sounds kind of unsure.

He just triggered Myung-ju's overthinking.

This moment is so meaningful

for Chan-yang right now.

I do love this moment too.
Do you like me?
I like everything about this.
Do you like me?
No, not something like that.
Come on. I still need some time.

-Come on.

-I know.


I'll be reminded of this bunny

being here too.


-I know.

-Yeah.


You don't seem too awkward

about holding hands anymore.


You know what?

On the day we went to eat breakfast,


they never told us

to hold hands on our way out.

But we did.
I just held your hand.
So cool, right?

I didn't even realize

that we were holding hands.

That's just my charm.
Jeez.

-Whatever.

-Come on. Not that.

Already?

-Come on.

-Come on.


-Ma'am.

-What?

Don't be like that.
Didn't I tell you not to call me that?
Park Chan-yang.
"MA'AM" IS ANGRY
Didn't I tell you not to call me that?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to call me "ma'am."
Myung-ju.

When I think about it,

everything has been fun.


-He just kissed her elbow.

-Her elbow!


-Hang on.

-Gosh.

What? This is awesome.
Chan-yang,

thank you for coming on
The Love Lab
.

You smell really nice.

-Me? Smell?

-Yeah.

Do I smell like anything?
The smell of your skin.

I nearly died

when I got tattoos on my fingers.

It was so painful.

-I nearly died, for real.

-Really?


-My fingers are very thin as it is.

-Is that so?

You know,
you have really nice skin.
How can this be

the skin

of a -something-year-old?

I have delicate skin.
It's almost chewy.
I should get some sleep.
Are you sleepy?
That was a huge yawn.

Paradise City must be

good at treating insomnia.

Celebrities,

-go there instead of a hospital.

-Yeah, go there.


Go there to sleep

when you need some rest.

The bed must be very nice.

-This is incredible.

-They fall asleep so easily!


I've never seen people fall asleep

so easily on a dating show.

They get sleepy whenever they lie down.
It's this one, right? Is it not?
The one in the middle?
CHAN-YANG FELL ASLEEP IMMEDIATELY
MYUNG-JU HASN'T FALLEN ASLEEP YET

-Now, Myung-ju can't sleep.

-She can't.


It's the last night,

so she has a lot on her mind.


She may be thinking, "Will he be like this

when we leave this place?"


Instead of saying "I like you,"

Chan-yang should have


-talked more about their future.

-You're right.


-I agree.

-He should've talked about


what they'll do

when they leave this place.


-He was too--

-He was too honest!


-He was a bit sentimental.

-He was too honest for his own good.


She may think he's honest

but not exactly responsible for his words.


I had a lot on my mind.


I think I'll miss

the things I felt in this space


and the time I spent with Chan-yang.

Am I thinking things right?

I felt like what Chan-yang said to me

and the things he did

were very honest.

But despite all that, "How will this end?"

"Is this the right choice?"

Many thoughts like that

ran through my mind.


SHE TAKES THE PILLS

THAT SHE DIDN'T TAKE LAST NIGHT

TRYING TO FALL ASLEEP AGAIN

AFTER A LONG WHILE,

MYUNG-JU FINALLY FELL ASLEEP

JUST LIKE THAT, THEIR LAST NIGHT ENDED
FINAL DECISION D-DAY
It's hot here.

-Are you sleepy?

-It's hot.


-You're hot?

-Yeah.

What time is it?
It's : a.m.
THE FIRST MORNING
Oh my.
THE SECOND MORNING

-Here you go.

-Thanks.


ON THE LAST MORNING,

THEY BRUSH THEIR TEETH TOGETHER


-Everything seems so natural.

-Yeah.

How can this be?
After just three nights?
At first, they did things separately,
but now, they are doing them together.
Gosh.
Oh, jeez.
Let's lie down for a little while.
Why are you so wide awake?
What?
You look so awake.

-Wide awake.

-Yeah.


I don't know why, but I felt kind of down.


Since this is our last day here,


I kept feeling sad.


-Why?

-You know,


-Why is he down?

-he must've really liked the hotel.

Why does he feel down?
That hotel must've been unbelievably good.
Give him some hotel vouchers!

I'm sure our show will

give him some vouchers.


-Why is he so sad?

-Why does he feel sad?

Why are you feeling so down?
You're having a great time, no?

And Myung-ju is a CEO.

She can book a night here for you.

Exactly.

-She could book a few nights!

-Exactly.

Why is he so sad?

-Jeez.

-What a weird thing to feel sad about.

No.

YOUR TIME ON "BLIND DATE IN A BED" ENDED

PLEASE PACK YOUR BELONGINGS AND CHECK OUT

It's over.

It could be my last moment with Myung-ju.


So I was nervous…


I felt anxious.

Come on.

Don't say things like

"It could be the last moment."

Because Myung-ju may not choose him?

-He may be thinking that.

-Yeah.


He was sad because he thought

Myung-ju may not choose him.


-Let's hurry.

-Ugh.


I met Myung-ju for the first time here.


It feels like I'll see her tomorrow

and have breakfast with her.


None of that feels awkward anymore.

It all feels natural.


But since we're coming to an end now…


It made me even sadder.

FINAL DECISION D-DAY

IF YOU'RE CHOOSING MYUNG-JU,

GO TO PARADISE RUBIK


IF YOU'RE NOT CHOOSING MYUNG-JU,

CHECK OUT AND LEAVE THIS PLACE


Even though I try not to think

about Myung-ju's final decision,


I keep feeling worried and nervous.

It's an emotional rollercoaster.


I think I'm scared.


I'm not scared of Chan-yang.


But I'm scared of starting a relationship.

During the three nights I spent here,
so unexpectedly…
I don't know why I'm like this.
I really hate variables.

In order to prevent anything that could

give me a hard time, make me nervous,

or cause me any pain,
I try to block out all those variables.

We may start the relationship

with good feelings for each other,


but we don't know

what emotions we'll go through.


I try not to create

situations like that and avoid them.

I think I took a long break from dating
because I didn't like those variables.

I'm sure part of me felt kind of rushed.


And I'm trying to see things objectively.


I also think a huge part of me

is scared of failing.

I think if Myung-ju dates Chan-yang,
her love for him will grow deeper.

She's hesitant because she feels

unsure about the relationship now, but--


-But she'll end up liking him more.

-Exactly.


-But that's exactly what she's scared of.

-Right.


-She knows herself well, right?

-Yes.


She may think his love could weaken

as her love for him grows.

Yeah.

RUBIK

FINAL DECISION


I choose Myung-ju.


"No" was never an option for me.


It's always been "Yes" for me.


FINAL DECISION

CHAN-YANG CHOOSES MYUNG-JU


IF YOU'RE CHOOSING CHAN-YANG,

GO TO PARADISE RUBIK


IF YOU'RE NOT CHOOSING CHAN-YANG,

PLEASE CHECK OUT AND LEAVE THIS PLACE


I've really enjoyed

spending time with Chan-yang.


But it was such a short time.


And we were in a very confined space.


But he definitely showed me

that he has feelings for me,


so I get that he likes me,


but I am still a bit anxious.


Depending on our choices,

we can end up together


or not.


No matter what our final decisions are,


I don't have any regrets.


Doors are closing.


I am not completely certain,


but I don't have any regrets.


I was so nervous.


I was more nervous

than when I'm competing.


If I were to profess my feelings,


I'd use just three words, "I like you."


It's really fascinating for me too.


The fact that I could fall in love

in just three nights and four days.

I think I've made my feelings clear.
I think if she doesn't choose me,
it will be because she felt pressured.
Their outfits.

-Their outfits match too.

-Yeah.

Come over here.

-I didn't think you were coming.

-What?

I thought you weren't coming.

-Why not?

-Seriously.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Gosh.
Man.
Happy to see you.
I'll get to see another side of you.
I can hear my own heart pounding.
My face is turning red right now.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I was worried about whether my feelings

-came across the way I wanted them to,

-Yeah.

but you showed up.
So I thought, "I want to do better
and show you an even better

-side of me."

-I was the opposite.


-I thought you might not choose me.

-What?


-Really?

-Yeah.

A MOMENT AGO

I feel like he may not be there.


Because I couldn't assure him,


I'm not so sure about it.


I may have confused him.


NERVOUS THAT SHE DIDN'T

GIVE CHAN-YANG ASSURANCE

Unlike the first day,
my feelings for him grew,
and I thought he could
keep me grounded when I waver.
I think our relationship
will grow deeper as time goes by.
We became so close

after talking to each other

and staying together for three nights.

How is that possible?
I did wonder about that.
But you only know
when you try it out.
Seriously.

This "Blind Date in a Bed"

may sound saucy,


but it wasn't like that at all.


I really hope other people


will give it a shot.


I think I'd recommend it.

I do recommend it.

It was fun.

EXPERIMENT RESULT

FALLING IN LOVE WITH A STRANGER IN A BED


-It's possible!

-It's possible!

Yes, you can.
I'm jealous. I'm so jealous of them.
I want to try it.
You should join as a participant.
Come on.
Just go to Paradise City.

I can't wait until the next season.

I need it now.

This should become a trend.
I know, right?
It works well.

They wouldn't have worked out

if they'd met outside.


-It worked because they met on a bed.

-Yeah, exactly.


If they'd met outside,

it wouldn't have worked out.


-Exactly.

-"There's nothing more to see."


-Hang on.

-What?


-What's going on? Oh my.

-Here we go.

What are you doing?
What is this?

-Oh my.

-Wow.

He was told to do that, right?

-They definitely made him do that.

-Wait.


-I'm sure of it.

-Please tell us.

This was scripted, wasn't it?
I'm sure of it.
Just keep watching.
Okay.
Oh my gosh.
Jeez.
If she chooses me,
I'll carry her in my arms and run out.

-All the way out?

-So he said he'd do it.


-Come on.

-Gosh!


-No.

-Man!


-Hold on.

-What was that?

Listen, running to Rubik's exit?

-Honestly, that's fine.

-Okay.


-But this?

-Yeah.

That's scripted.

-That was, "Since you'll run anyway,

-Yeah.


-why don't you run all the way out?"

-Right.


-"That's okay, right?"

-Exactly.


-One, two, three, four.

-One, two, three, four.


-Let's go.

-One, two, three, four.

One, two, three…
I think I'm getting used to it.
No, I'm not!
One, two.

-Look.

-In front of a chess board?


-No, look.

-In front of a chess board?

It doesn't exactly look romantic either.
At least,

-it should look romantic.

-Right.


-The weather is gloomy.

-Yeah.

It's not romantic at all.

It's gloomy,

and they're both wearing black.

It looks kind of drab!
It looks like she's sick

-and he's taking her to the hospital.

-I know.


-It looks like Myung-ju fainted.

-Jeez.

Are you okay?
Yeah.
Oh my.
Oh, your hair.
Well done.
I like you.
I like you too.
Hey! She said, "I like you" back!

Will it go from "I like you"

to "I love you"?


When it comes to a dating show,

the final decision isn't what matters.

The important thing is

-whether they're dating for real.

-Right.

Well done, for real.
AND NOW
Hold on!
How nice!
How nice! They're still together.

CHAN-YANG'S SURPRISE VISIT

TO MYUNG-JU'S OFFICE

What's this?
What's this? When did you get it?
I had no idea.

MYUNG-JU WENT TO CHEER

FOR CHAN-YANG AT A COMPETITION

FOOTAGE THAT MYUNG-JU TOOK OF CHAN-YANG
Myung-ju is sick right now,
so we came to get her an IV drip.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Since I
wanted to be by her side,
I got one as well.
He got one to be by her side?
I know. That's insane.
Just to be by her side.

TREATING HER TO A NOURISHING MEAL

AFTER THE IV DRIP

I got a shot thanks to Chan-yang.

-That's so nice.

-Gosh.

We're off to a good start.
Our show is off to a good start.

You need a couple that's currently dating

to be a successful dating show.

If you don't watch this, you'll regret it.
You must keep watching. Seriously.

-This is entertaining.

-It's so fun.

Is getting into a relationship that easy?
In only three nights and four days?
Just go to Paradise City already.

-Do I just go by myself?

-Well…

Will I just be waiting there forever?
You know, dating shows

-get more entertaining as they go on.

-Yeah.

If the first two episodes are this good,
episodes three and four…

-Will be amazing.

-will be amazing.


-So the first one was Blind Date in a Bed.

-Yes.


What other experiments

do they have planned?

Will two people be drifting
across the sea on a sailboat
or something?

-This was fun.

-What could it be?


The second Love Lab experiment is


"Isolated Romance."


-We're isolated.

-We're here.

I came here to find a girlfriend.

What if I were isolated

with someone whose ideal type is me?


My heart fluttered.


How could they change in a day?


How can we be so alike?


-Dog or rabbit?

-A nice cat.

But I'm not a cat.
It's not the vibe I'm into.
I like you.

It went as planned.


-Hold hands?

-Oh, that's her.

What do you like so much?

I guess I've gone a bit out of control.


Here, everyone's ideal type

is hopelessly tangled.


I won't know until the end.


I regretted it.


She's on my mind.


Will the isolated participants…


Your ideal type is just an ideal.


…be able to find love?


If I tell you how I feel,

would you go out with me?
