THE LOVE LAB

-Ji-young.
-Oh, it's me?

Hyun-jin.

"Go to…"

"The space you want."

"Except for the starting point."

HAVE A NICE, COLD DRINK

You understand
the rules of the game, right?

Hyun-jin.

Did you just want a drink?

I'm the only one who didn't drink.

Do you understand that you get a benefit
if you complete two laps first?

Yeah.

SI-HYUN

"Pick someone you like
and ask them two questions."

I pick Hyun-jin.

I want to know the percentage
of how much you're into me

and

whether you've made your final decision.
I want to ask these two.

It's 70%.

As for the final decision,

I haven't made up my mind yet.

JI-YOUNG

"Ask one question to the person you want."

I pick Si-hyun.

Have you made up your mind
on who you'll choose

for your final decision?

At this moment…

Yes.

I think I have.

I'm up, right?

Go ahead.

JUN-SEUNG

PICK SOMEONE YOU LIKE
AND ASK THEM TWO QUESTIONS

Two questions?

Was the curry good?

-What?
-Was the curry good?

Yes.

Do you want it again sometime?

Yes.

HYUN-JIN

ASK ONE QUESTION TO THE PERSON YOU WANT

"The Room of Truth."

I pick Si-hyun.

Were you happy

to find out that I'm older than you?

Yes.

I was happy.

I thought you'd be much younger than me.

So I was happy.

ASK ONE QUESTION TO THE PERSON YOU WANT
THE SELECTED PERSON CANNOT REJECT IT

I pick Hyun-jin.

If your feelings for me are at 70%,
what's the meaning of the remaining 30%?

The 30%?

The remaining 30% is…

because I thought you'd be older than me.

I think I have a lot on my mind

regarding that.

CHARLESENTER
YOUTUBER WITH 1.04 MILLION FOLLOWERS

JUNBBANG JOGYO

She really wanted someone older.

She doesn't mean that, does she?

I think she means it.
She's brought it up a few times already.

No, I don't think so.

She doesn't want to get hurt,

so she's saving that 30%. But since she
doesn't have a good excuse for that…

Is it an excuse she came up with
in case it doesn't work out?

But if she keeps bringing it up,
it'll keep bothering him too.

JI-YOUNG

"Ask them two questions."

Well, Si-hyun.

You said you'd made up your mind
about who you'll choose

for the final decision.

What is your reason
for choosing that person?

She was very direct
about her feelings for me.

One more?

If you met me

not in here,

but out there…

If we met as man and woman,

do you think you'd date me?

If I got to know you better, maybe?

I'm up.

JUN-SEUNG

The Room of Truth.

ASK ONE QUESTION TO THE PERSON YOU WANT

This one's for Ji-young.

Did you like the convenience store
or the beach?

I liked the beach a bit more.

I felt that something definitely happened
between the two of them.

I didn't regret asking her

since I could find out how she's feeling.

HYUN-JIN

"Whisper 'I like you' to the person
you gave the Heart Chips to yesterday."

What if I gave them to two people?

-Pick one.
-Pick one?

I like you.

SI-HYUN

ASK THE WOMAN YOU LIKE
TO FEED YOU A SNACK

Feed me…

the coffee-coated peanut.

I took it as his expression
of interest in me,

so I looked for the coffee-coated peanut,

but I didn't know what it was.

What is that?

This one.

Not this?

-This one?
-Just give me what you want.

That's corn.

So I just gave him whatever.

I'll tell you later
what I actually asked for.

JI-YOUNG

"Feed a snack
to someone you're interested in."

Which one is the coffee-coated peanut?

Isn't it this one?

Is it this?

That's the right one.

There was only one hidden,

and Ji-young found it and gave it to me.

Do you know
what makes this so entertaining?

He asked for coffee-coated peanuts,

but one gave him anything
as she didn't know

while the other went out of her way
to find it for him.

JUN-SEUNG

"Go to the space you want."

I'm going to

have a nice, cold drink.

HYUN-JIN

One, two, three.

"Ask the person you like
to feed you a snack."

Which one is the coffee-coated peanut?

-What?
-What is the coffee-coated peanut?

There aren't any.

Really? Then, give me anything.

SI-HYUN

"Ask the person to your right,

'If I asked you right now,
would you be my girlfriend?'"

If I asked you right now,
would you be my girlfriend?

Yes.

There was nothing to think about.

Rather than hesitating,

I thought answering him right away
would let him know how I felt.

I was a bit surprised.

She was very direct and honest
about how she felt about me.

Seeing her speak so confidently
without caring what others thought

made me see her
in a completely different light.

"Go to the space you want."

"Say three things you liked
about the other person."

Si-hyun.

When we went on our date,

I liked how it made us feel
like a real couple.

I also liked that
we were able to talk about

things that we were curious about
and couldn't talk about before.

We were alike in many ways

and we had many similarities.
I liked that.

While we were playing this game,

I thought,
"Was Ji-young always that sure?"

Then, I saw Jun-seung
and felt bad for him.

He just kept staring at the floor.

I felt very bad about it

because all the questions
were directed at one person.

I thought, "Why isn't anyone
talking to Jun-seung?"

He can be talkative too.

I felt bad for him

because I could see he was deflated.

JUN-SEUNG

THE ROOM OF TRUTH
ASK ONE QUESTION TO THE PERSON YOU WANT

-I pick Ji-young.
-Okay.

You said the date with Si-hyun
felt like a real couple's date.

If I showed you that side of me too,

would you be willing to
get to know me more?

I think

I'd have to get to know you better
and see how it goes for a long while.

It felt like Jun-seung
didn't have his guard up at all.

But he's tough even without it.

It was also amazing that he could
keep asking Ji-young questions.

I think I paid more attention
to Ji-young's answers

not because of Si-hyun,
but because of Jun-seung.

"Please,

don't hurt him."

HYUN-JIN

Oh, it should be here.

SI-HYUN

"Pick the person you like
and hold hands for five minutes."

Doesn't that seal the deal?

-Yeah, those two.
-Game over.

It was so hard.

We were exchanging questions about
how certain we were about our feelings.

And I had to see it with my own eyes
and hear it with my ears.

That whole situation

was very hard on me.

JI-YOUNG

"Ask one question to the person you want."

I pick Si-hyun.

Compare me and Hyun-jin,

and tell me one thing
that you like more about me.

-Is that a fair question?
-Right?

That's a bit too much of a comparison.

She's definitely feeling
threatened by Hyun-jin.

She seemed wary of her
during their date too.

I bet this is why.

Let's say they had a similar vibe.
If they were both cat-like,

Ji-young could think
she has a good chance.

-But Hyun-jin's the complete opposite.
-Right.

She has no idea if she even has a chance.

That's why she wants to know
if anything sets her apart.

Compare me and Hyun-jin,

and tell me one thing
that you like more about me.

I took it as an opportunity.

Hyun-jin played the game
more passively than I expected.

I thought while she's
playing a bit passively,

I should be more forward.

That way, it'd appeal to him more.

When I'm talking with Hyun-jin,

I have to think twice

before I speak with her.

But when I'm talking to you, Ji-young,

I'm

more at ease.

JUN-SEUNG

"Ask the person to your right,

'If I asked you right now,
would you be my girlfriend?'"

Say yes to this.

Say yes, Hyun-jin.

Why not? It's Seo In-guk.
Why couldn't she date him?

His voice is like Seo In-guk's,
and he looks like him too.

Hyun-jin, if I asked you out right now,
would you be my girlfriend?

I can't say yes…

but it may change the way I look at you.

It wasn't just us

that had a good time
during those six hours?

I didn't expect Hyun-jin
to give such an answer.

I thought she'd make it clear
by saying no,

but seeing that,

I thought she was starting to waver.

That made me more determined
to stay committed and push through.

It may not be my place to say this,

but I was also hoping

that Ji-young would notice
Jun-seung a bit more.

He's an attractive person,

but it seems like she can't see his charm.

I do feel sorry for Jun-seung.

-But he is admirable.
-He is.

Hyun-jin found
Jun-seung's looks attractive enough

-to choose him as her ideal type, right?
-Right.

If Jun-seung hadn't
totally shut off Hyun-jin--

She probably still feels something.

Yeah, Hyun-jin gave
Jun-seung a Heart Chip.

You're right.

Also, this is how women are.

She may just think of him as a friend,

but she wouldn't say something
she doesn't mean.

She said she'd think about it, right?

She could really mean that.

You're right.

HYUN-JIN

"Pick someone you like
and ask them two questions."

-Si-hyun.
-Yeah?

How would you have felt
if I were younger than you?

I'd still have wanted
to get to know you.

We got to know each other in this place

without any background information, right?

Without knowing anything
about your background,

I got curious about you
and I developed feelings for you,

so even if you were younger than me,
I would've felt the same.

SI-HYUN

Three. One, two, three.

"The Room of Truth."

I pick Hyun-jin.

What's the main reason

that's keeping you
from making the final decision?

For me,

I realized my ideal type
was more about their personality

than the appearance.

But there was another factor

that mattered just as much.

Stop talking about the age. Stop.

What is that factor?

Don't say it.

It's…

the age.

Isn't age just an excuse?

If Si-hyun doesn't choose her,

she can say that age
was an issue for her too.

-That's right.
-Does she really want that? For real?

This is unbelievable.
This streams on Netflix, right?

Non-Korean viewers won't get her.

They really won't get it.

I'm serious.

I think they should explain
that this is part of Korean culture.

It's Korean culture!

Non-Korean viewers might think
that they are like ten years apart.

JI-YOUNG

THE ROOM OF TRUTH
ASK ONE QUESTION TO THE PERSON YOU WANT

I pick Hyun-jin.

Okay.

Even if you like everything about a guy,

would you really not date him

if there's an age issue?

It felt like she's really conflicted
about this age issue.

So I asked her that question on purpose
to bring out the subject about the age.

It was directed at Si-hyun.

Well,

I was thinking a lot about that
since early this morning.

It won't be easy.

-What?
-What?

She said it would be hard
if the guy's younger than her.

She made that point clear,
so I felt relieved.

Her answer was exactly
the kind of answer I was fishing for.

It won't be easy.

If she had said that
while she was with me alone,

I would have been aware of it,
but I had no clue

and I heard about her thoughts on the age
for the first time there.

So I thought, "I see."

"She may not choose me in the end."

She said she couldn't date a younger guy,

but then, she showed her interest in me.

I couldn't tell what she was thinking.

They didn't reveal their ages now.
They did it yesterday, right?

-Right.
-But she still liked him.

Yeah, she gave him 88 Heart Chips
and took him to the Attic House.

HYUN-JIN

THE ROOM OF TRUTH
ASK ONE QUESTION TO THE PERSON YOU WANT

I pick Si-hyun.

If we were given one extra day,

who would you like to take on a date?

I'd pick you.

It's over.

Come on.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Love Marble has ended.

They want us to check the mailbox.

"The Fireplace House has opened."

"You can enjoy a private date here
with the person of your choice."

"The winner of Love Marble should
choose someone and head there now."

I'll go with Ji-young.

Does this even make sense?

He may have done that

because Hyun-jin said it'd be hard
for her to get over the age issue.

But then he said
he'd take her out on a date.

I'll go with Ji-young.

I thought he'd choose me.

But he chose Ji-young,

so I figured things went to pot.

It's a shame.

I'll go with Ji-young.

When he chose me,

I wasn't all that happy.

I thought it meant he made up his mind
and was going to tell me his decision.

It's cold.

-Let's go back inside.
-Okay.

-Let's get going, Hyun-jin.
-Let's go.

A lot on your mind, huh?

-Did you have a lot on your mind?
-Yeah.

No, I mean you.

-What?
-Did you expect that?

About what?

Did you expect Si-hyun to choose Ji-young?

-Shall we talk when we get inside?
-Okay.

SI-HYUN AND JI-YOUNG
HEAD TO THE FIREPLACE HOUSE

Oh, it's over there.

ISOLATED HOUSE
ATTIC HOUSE

FIREPLACE HOUSE

TONIGHT, THIS PLACE HAS OPENED
FOR THE TWO OF THEM TO TALK

Wow.

Wow, what's this?

This place is so fun.

It's really fun.

-Shall we sit by the fire? It's cold.
-Yeah.

How was it?

What kind of mindset did you play

-Love Marble with?
-My mindset?

-Yeah.
-What about you?

Me?

Get me some soju, please!

You're craving alcohol, aren't you?

It must've been tough.

I felt so bad
the whole time I was watching you.

Likewise.

-You have a lot on your mind, don't you?
-On my mind?

I wonder if contemplating
is even worthwhile.

I don't know.

-I just…
-Do you regret it?

Regretting… I did regret it.

Yeah?

But I wondered if I should even regret it.

I was so surprised.

-Why?
-The Ji-young that I saw on our date

was a totally different person
from the person I saw

playing Love Marble.

After playing Love Marble,

my perception of Ji-young
has changed a lot.

I came to understand
what kind of thoughts she has about me

and how big her feelings for me are.

I don't know if you remember,
but I said I like someone

-who has a backbone.
-Yeah, I remember.

I don't think one person should
always be compromising

-in a relationship.
-Yeah.

But you said you can do that.

You said you can give everything up.

That was an issue for me.

That's how it was
in my previous relationships,

but I realized that
I shouldn't be like that anymore.

Because I liked them more,
I was the one who always compromised.

Because I liked the guy,

everything was okay.

Even if they did something wrong,
it was all forgiven. That's how it was.

But after I got to talk
about relationships with them here,

and after hearing that Si-hyun

likes someone who has a backbone,

I realized that I shouldn't be like
how I was in my previous relationships.

You seemed so different
when we were playing the game,

and I liked that side of you.

I just didn't want to regret anything.

When we went on our date,

we really talked a lot, didn't we?

It felt so natural,
like we were a real couple,

so I started wondering

what it would be like
if we actually became a real couple.

I've always wanted to get closer to you,

but I was wary of the others.

-That's how it was.
-Yeah.

You wrote that you liked women
who are refined and affectionate.

I don't think that's me.
It's probably Hyun-jin.

Really?

I was worried that
he wouldn't be attracted to me.

I always had that concern,

so I kept thinking, "I hope he likes me,"

rather than approaching him first.

This is how I've always felt.

I wanted to go out with you
and hoped things would develop.

That's how I felt.

But I've been suppressing my feelings
and keeping them to myself.

But I think you helped me muster up…

courage.

You helped me build that courage.

If we don't chat here,
we can't have a birthday party together.

I'm not good at things like that.

You couldn't do it out there,
but you can do it here.

I put everything out there

one last time.

I have no regrets.

I'm glad I did it.

-It was a good date then.
-Yeah.

Si-hyun and I kept talking about this.

The final decision isn't

about how we feel right now,

but it's about what we'll do out there.

Let's say we chose each other in the end.

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…

We may face

-real-life issues.
-Yeah.

So why bother choosing then?

If you're not sure…

So I thought about that a lot
and the age issue kept bothering me.

I wondered if this would work.

I kept thinking about it
this morning after I woke up.

I just kept thinking, "What do I do?"

I've never dated someone younger than me

and never liked one either.

Even my friends are mostly
not younger than me.

I'm comfortable around older people.
I like being with them,

and I like being
the youngest one in the group.

I think I have
a certain fantasy of men older than me.

When you guys went there,

I had so much fun.

-With Si-hyun?
-I had so much fun chatting with Si-hyun.

I don't want to succeed,

but I'm trying to enjoy working hard.

Wow.

You'd have to do what you love
to enjoy working hard.

I am doing that.

I'm the kind of person

who gives it all to the life he chose,

and I am doing exactly that.

That's awesome.

This is fun.

I'm glad.

Because you're here.

I didn't expect it from him,

but we could actually
carry on a good conversation like this.

I'm younger.

I really am younger.

-Is that what you want?
-I really am younger.

I kept wondering if he was older than me
while we were talking.

I was very curious about him.

The age must matter a lot to you.

It makes me feel a certain way about them.

-"Right, he's younger."
-Yeah.

But apart from that,

I think my feelings

were stronger than my doubts.

If I end up choosing Si-hyun,

it wouldn't be
because I'm "okay" with younger men,

but it would be because it's him.

So when he comes back…

You're going to tell him?

Wouldn't we have some time?

I could explain him where I stand.

The reason why

I put so many Heart Chips yesterday
despite knowing his age

and what I am concerned about now.

I wanted to share that with him.

When you said you'd be
my girlfriend if I asked you,

what thoughts were behind that answer?

-What thoughts?
-Yeah.

I was just thinking
about how I felt about you.

That was it.

Let's say we started dating.
What if you don't like me?

I might be different
from how I've been here.

You're being genuine on this show,

so I don't think
you'd be hugely different.

I don't think you'll be different.

You're just you.

-Yeah, but here, I am…
-You're you.

This is such a fascinating place.

It was tough.

Around the time
we were wrapping up our date,

I asked you to tell me
when your mind is made up,

no matter what the decision is.

-Yeah.
-So

the reason why you brought me here…

Am I right? Is that why?

Why did you bring me here?

After our date
and before we played Love Marble,

I kept thinking about Hyun-jin.

When

-we came back,
-Yeah.

I was happy to see her.

Right.

-You're here.
-Hi.

The curry smell is super strong.

-So nice and smooth, right?
-Yeah.

I was happy to see her,
but when I tried to make a move,

it kept getting awkward.

I kept walking on eggshells around her.

Even after the game,

I think you are…

still leaning more toward Hyun-jin.

Is that right?

It's 70%.

Yeah, Hyun-jin was 70%.

But she said the age was a barrier.

She had never told me that the age
was an issue before.

But it happened all of a sudden
after you and I got back.

-This is what I think.
-Yeah?

During the game, we said

that we were so happy and we had
so much fun on our date.

I think that's why she said that.

But I wouldn't know for sure.

When she said her feelings
for me were at 70%,

I was going to choose Hyun-jin.

That is what I thought.

After that, the mood changed completely
during that one hour.

It became so hard for me.

I won't know until the end.

Okay.

But anyway…

While I was watching
how the game was going,

it looked like things might
work out for those two,

so I felt like I should
hurry up and make up my mind.

At the hoe restaurant,

when Si-hyun and I

fed each other hoe lettuce wraps.

I felt like if I gave a vague answer,

I could ruin everything.

I was thinking a lot about that
since early this morning.

So I said that I gave it some thought
and it wouldn't be easy for me,

but I kind of

regret saying that.

-You wish you didn't sound so sure?
-Yeah.

That would have been better.

Yeah.

I still think highly of Hyun-jin
because she knows what she did.

-Yeah, and she owned up to it.
-Yeah.

She knows it was her pride.

You know,

when I heard those two talking,

I realized that they had a very good time.

And

I could see that on your face too.

You had that "Oh, no" look.

You're right.

That's how it was.

-Let's clink our glasses.
-Feeling down, right? I'll drink too.

You look like you're about to cry.

I learned so many things
while we were playing the game,

so Si-hyun felt different to me.

Me too. Ji-young and Si-hyun
both felt different to me.

I thought, "What is this feeling?"

"I don't think it's jealousy."

So are your feelings for Hyun-jin

still at 70%?

My feelings for you have grown…

but I didn't get a chance
to chat with her after the game.

I want to know
what made her think that way.

-You mean, Hyun-jin?
-Yeah.

I have to know.

I do think that Si-hyun has
some feelings for me.

But I think he'll go with Hyun-jin
in the end anyway.

It can't possibly be me.

Even though Si-hyun went
on a six-hour date with me,

I feel like…

it was too short.

If he was leaning towards me,

I think he would've made it clear to me.

I actually felt like the Si-hyun
I was with at the Fireplace House

didn't know his own mind.

I clearly expressed
how I felt during the game,

but all Si-hyun said to me
was that he was surprised

and that he liked that side of me,

so I really don't know where he stands.

You know,

I feel like a wavering reed
in a field of reeds.

-You're really conflicted.
-Yeah.

I'm going to follow my heart.

How is he able to
acknowledge his own flaw like that?

Usually, people would hide
the fact that they're wavering.

He's very confident.

"I like women who know their own minds,
but I'm a wavering reed." What?

How should I put this?

I wonder if it's okay
for me to even feel disappointed.

As for me…

I know that I like Si-hyun,

but I wonder whether we can
actually be in a relationship.

But for Si-hyun,

he hasn't even decided
between me and her.

Well, I'd like to talk to him
one more time.

I'm wondering if I should
even make my final decision.

You should.

-Hey.
-Yeah?

I can clearly see how she feels.

What about how you feel?

Yeah, I still have feelings.

I just feel a bit stumped.

"You should go for it.
That would be cool."

After I said that, I thought,

"Yeah,

how I feel is the most important."

Yes, that's what matters.

I suppose I will make a final decision.

-You got something.
-Is it me?

Come on. What's this?

WHO WILL YOU EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS TO?
THE LAST HEART CHIP VOTE STARTS NOW

WHO WILL YOU EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS TO?
THE LAST HEART CHIP VOTE STARTS NOW

YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR ONE PERSON TODAY

IF YOU USE UP ALL 200 OF YOUR HEART CHIPS,
YOU MUST TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL TOMORROW

I'm sorry.

-About what?
-I can't give you any.

-I can't vote for you.
-I should've given you

-Come on!
-at least one.

-I should've given you one.
-You should have.

The Heart Chip voting area
has opened for the last night.

We hope you're able to bring

all the sincere and honest
conversations you've had here

to a good close.

I haven't heard a clear answer
as to whether he'll choose me or not.

So I really don't know where he stands.

I keep going back and forth.

I am a bit torn.

-See you.
-Okay.

Don't you vote for me.

I won't.

I just did what I could,

and I have no regrets.

But I wondered if she'd date me
even after getting to know me for a while.

WEE JUN-SEUNG
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA



It felt wrong to me
to just stop showing interest

all of a sudden.

It would be weird.

It'd be kind of embarrassing too,
wouldn't it?

WEE JUN-SEUNG COMPLETED VOTING


"Let's go on a date when we leave here."

That's all I wrote.

GO ON A ROMANTIC DATE WITH ME TOO!
LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES OVER TIME!

This is what makes Jun-seung so cool.

People who are direct like that

aren't typically considerate
of the other person.

But he's considerate while being direct.
That's so admirable of him.

He's not putting too much pressure
on the other person.

Kudos to you, Jun-seung.

-He's very thoughtful.
-Yeah.

I went all in.

Good job.

I really had to think hard
about what to write.

-Guess what I wrote.
-I don't know.

-You got a message.
-Is it mine?

-I'll be back.
-Okay.

HYUN-JIN, GO TO THE VOTING AREA

-Let's talk when you get back.
-Okay.

LAH HYUN-JIN
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA



If I used up all of my 200 Heart Chips

it would mean

that I'd have to make up my mind
about the final decision.

SHE MUST MAKE UP HER MIND

That's why I was very torn.

SHE WRITES THE MESSAGE FIRST

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU

She always has a hidden ace.

All she needs is one sentence.

"I was waiting for you." So cool.

"During

my time here,

I liked you

and I waited for you all day today too."

I just wanted

to tell him that.

LAH HYUN-JIN COMPLETED VOTING
HOW MANY HEART CHIPS TO SI-HYUN?

JI-YOUNG, GO TO THE VOTING AREA

-It's cold.
-Take the blanket.

Okay.

I could tell that
he had a lot on his mind.

He seemed to be having a hard time,
and he looked troubled too.

BYEON JI-YOUNG
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA



Gosh.

The thing is, even though

we went on a really fun date

What should I do?

It felt like his mind was already made up.

That thought weighed on me.

She keeps telling herself this
because she doesn't want to

-be disappointed at the end.
-Right.

It breaks my heart to watch her.

Today was their first date, right?

She was just curious about him until then.

Her feelings grew so much in just one day?

Ji-young has liked Si-hyun all along.

He's her once-in-a-millennium ideal type.

Wait.

"Let's escape

this isolation together."

BYEON JI-YOUNG COMPLETED VOTING


He told me that he's interested in me.

I went all in after hearing that.

Because that much seemed clear.

I will be disappointed,
but I have no regrets.

I believe

I did my best.

-I feel like it's over now.
-Are you relieved?

I don't know.

SI-HYUN, GO TO THE VOTING AREA NOW

Bye.

There wasn't enough time for me
to organize my thoughts

and fully settle on one person.

AHN SI-HYUN
ENTERS THE VOTING AREA



Should I put the last one in
to show how I feel?

Should I do it

or not?

AHN SI-HYUN COMPLETED VOTING
HOW MANY HEART CHIPS TO WHOM?

THE LAST HEART CHIP VOTE HAS ENDED

I really was isolated here.

What do you mean?

I never got to go on a date.

Right. Come to think of it, you didn't.

Can you become friends?

With her?

No.

Of course not.

I was so straightforward with her.

Oh.

-Are you disappointed?
-So you'll leave with one female friend.

Not two?

You shouldn't have said that.

-What?
-You know,

I asked, "If I asked you right now,
would you be my girlfriend?"

Yeah.

You should've just said no.

-It was just your honest answer?
-Yeah.

It made me feel good, though.

-What?
-It made me feel good.

I see.

Okay.

How would it have been
if I hadn't gone for Ji-young?

-He's saying this now?
-This is getting interesting.

This is like in TV shows
with two friends of the opposite sex

where the guy secretly has had
a crush on the girl the whole time.

This is like the Reply series.

This is nice. They're not "just friends."
They're pretending to be.

How would it have been
if I hadn't gone for Ji-young?

-If you hadn't gone for her?
-Yeah.

-What?
-What if I'd hidden my feelings?

Well,

I would have thought,
"Did he come here to cook?"

You don't have
any feelings for me, do you?

No, I like you so much.

Fine, like me then.

I was just curious.

THE FIREPLACE DATE HAS ENDED
RETURN TO THE ISOLATED HOUSE

Our date ended.

You will not check your box today,

and the Attic House will not open today.

THE FOUR WILL SLEEP
IN THE SAME HOUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Are there any bugs?

-May I come in and check?
-Sure.

There aren't any, right?

No, the room is bug-free.

Right?

Have a good night.

Bye. Good night.

Bye.

Man, I'm tired.

Good night.

It's nice having two layers down.

I didn't realize that
when it was only one.

This is definitely juicy.

Man, this is fun.

Check that angle out too.

It's shot from the side,
so it looks like they filmed it secretly.

You're flushed.

I got sunburned.

I guess so.

I guess so.

Good night.

Bye.

-Good night.
-Good night.

What the heck?
I thought they were going to talk.

No one mustered up the courage.

If they end it without talking,
wouldn't they regret it even more?

They have to talk.

FINAL CONFESSION D-DAY

I'll get it.

A LETTER HAS ARRIVED

I'm getting nervous.

I'm so nervous I'm parched.

Should I read it for you?

-Okay.
-Okay.

"It's the final confession day."

From the first day to yesterday,

only the person who used up
all 200 Heart Chips

may confess their feelings.

Read the letter you wrote
to the person you want to confess to

and convey how you feel about them.

If they accept your confession,

the two of you will become a couple
and descend the mountain together.

Those who have not become a couple
must descend the mountain alone.

The final decision will begin now.

Let's predict the final decisions.

Ji-young will choose Si-hyun.

And Jun-seung will choose Ji-young.

Hyun-jin will probably choose Si-hyun.

She may not choose him
for her final decision,

but let's say she will.

The only person we want to know
is who Si-hyun will choose.

Right. It's Si-hyun.

I bet he left one Heart Chip out.

I just don't know.

-It's cold.
-They have seats over there.

Those are the seats.

SUBJECT 1: LAH HYUN-JIN

SUBJECT 2: AHN SI-HYUN

SUBJECT 3: WEE JUN-SEUNG

SUBJECT 4: BYEON JI-YOUNG

THE PERSON WHO SPENT ALL 200 HEART CHIPS,

WEE JUN-SEUNG, COME UP
AND CALL THE PERSON YOU'RE CONFESSING TO

As for me,

it's Ji-young.

JUN-SEUNG MAKES HIS FINAL CONFESSION
TO JI-YOUNG

I have to read a letter. I'm a bit shy.

"It's been so fun
the last three nights, right?"

"It was a pleasant surprise to discover
so many similarities during our chats."

"It felt like we clicked."

"So I started wanting to
get to know you better."

"The choice is up to you,
so don't feel too pressured."

"Come eat hoe with me too."

WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT
DURING THE THREE NIGHTS AND FOUR DAYS?

It's definitely the moment

I saw the person from Instagram
walk toward me.

My ideal type was walking toward me.

It was so fascinating.

I suppose that is
the most memorable moment for me.

JI-YOUNG, YOU MAY ACCEPT HIS CONFESSION
OR TURN HIM DOWN WITH BRIEF LAST WORDS

I thought you and I

have a lot in common,

and I enjoyed our conversations too.

I was able to laugh a lot
during these four days thanks to you.

I’m really glad I got to meet you here

and had a chance
to become friends with you.

When this is over,

let's all meet up together.

Okay.

"All together"? Man.

Gosh. "All together."

When this is over,

let's all meet up together.

Okay.

JI-YOUNG TURNED DOWN
JUN-SEUNG'S CONFESSION

JUN-SEUNG, GRAB YOUR BAG
AND DESCEND THE MOUNTAIN

I think I'll feel a bit empty for a while.

EXPERIMENT HAS ENDED FOR WEE JUN-SEUNG

JUN-SEUNG'S HEART CHIPS


A TOTAL OF 11

YOU MAY OPEN THE BOX THAT CONTAINS
ALL THE HEART CHIPS AND NOTES YOU RECEIVED

Is it okay if I don't open it?

I'm leaving with a light heart.

I've seen it and heard it
with my own eyes and ears.

I found out how she felt.

I like that they're showing us
what happens afterwards.

He's just babbling on.

It's like the show Screening Humanity.

I feel close to the participants.

Spending 24 hours with your ideal type?

It was so surreal.

I enjoyed my time here.

Actually, I don't think
the final decision is the end.

I think three nights and four days
is too short to get to know someone.

I would like to get to know her

after the final decision,
with enough time.

JUN-SEUNG LEFT WITH HOPES
OF MEETING HER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE

JI-YOUNG STANDS AT THE CONFESSION SPOT

The person I'd like to confess to

is Si-hyun.

When I end up dating someone
that I like more,

I always end up getting hurt.

But I see the qualities
of my ideal type in Si-hyun.

It isn't easy to meet someone

who has the edge-of-tofu face
in real life.

So I'm just happy that I met him.

"Si-hyun, the time we had together
was too short,

but in that short time,

I've found my true self."

"I wish moments like yesterday,

where we just laughed and talked
without noticing the time pass

would keep coming."

"Let's leave together. You have to enjoy
the 'Ji-young view' again."

It's weird.

I don't like younger guys.

Despite that,

I like him.

LAST NIGHT, DURING THE HEART CHIP VOTE

When I was putting them in,
I threw them to the side.

I was aiming for the edges.

SHE THREW THE HEART CHIPS
SO THEY COLLECTED AROUND THE EDGES

I don't know what color Ji-young's is,
but I put my yellow ones in.

Then, Ji-young would
put a lot of hers in later.

He wouldn't be able to see
the yellow ones that well.

I want him to notice yellow
when he opens it.

HYUN-JIN USED UP
ALL OF HER HEART CHIPS LAST NIGHT

SHE GAVE SI-HYUN 199 HEART CHIPS
OVER 3 DAYS

HYUN-JIN MOVES TO THE CONFESSION SPOT

"Hi."

"I had a great time thanks to you."

"I didn't need the escape,
a mobile phone, or the city."

"We clicked right from the beginning,
and I found you really relatable."

"Thanks for everything,

and I'll always be rooting for you
in your journey ahead."

"There's a good burger place
near Sookmyung Women's University."

"It's on me.
The older one should pay."

"I'm hungry."

She said, "The older one should pay."

She's admitting that she's older.

The most memorable thing for me
was Si-hyun.

I don't know how he spent those six hours,

but I kept checking the time.

SI-HYUN, CALL THE PERSON
YOU'RE CONFESSING TO

I chose Ji-young.

Hyun-jin.

Thank you for having breakfast
with me every morning.

I had a good time whenever we talked.

Thank you.

HYUN-JIN, GRAB YOUR BAG
AND DESCEND THE MOUNTAIN

It was fun.

EXPERIMENT HAS ENDED FOR LAH HYUN-JIN

I was the only one
who was truly isolated.

Everyone else

shouldn't say they were isolated.

I got to think about myself a whole lot

and I experienced
how far I would go as well.

I made a new friend too.

Wee Jun-seung.

Even though I have an ideal type,

I met someone who made all those
preferences and preconceptions

seem unimportant.

That person is…

the one who was furthest
from my ideal type,

Ahn Si-hyun.

HYUN-JIN'S HEART CHIPS


SHE PUT HER LAST CONFESSION LETTER
IN SI-HYUN'S BOX

I feel bittersweet.

When I leave this place,

I'm going to get a hamburger.

Si-hyun has a pretty smile.

Tofu-of-edge face?

Even though he's the opposite
of my ideal type,

he was such a good person

that I became attracted to him.

I'm going to ask
where Jun-seung got his ring.

Even though someone is your ideal type,

you can become friends with them.

Or maybe not.

I really didn't see this coming.

You didn't?

I had no clue.

How could I know?

You didn't tell me, so how would I know?

SI-HYUN, READ YOUR LETTER
AND CONFESS YOUR FEELINGS

"From the moment I went down
to pick you up from the Isolated House

to before our date yesterday,

you were someone who I was curious about
and made my heart flutter."

"After our date yesterday,

my feelings for you grew."

Out there, it had to be

"love at first sight" for me
to get into a relationship with someone.

But because she showed
how much she likes me,

my feelings for her grew as well.

When I was taking pictures of her,

she looked pretty through the viewfinder.

Because we got along so well,

even though she wasn't
completely my type looks-wise,

I was able to develop feelings for her.

"Thank you for showing
how much you like me,

and I was thrilled and happy too."

"I couldn't show you
how much I liked you here,

and I made you worry a lot,

but let's get out of here
and be happy together."

CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING THE FINAL MATCH
HOLD HANDS AND DESCEND THE MOUNTAIN

What was that?

What?

SI-HYUN WAS HESITANT
WITH ONE HEART CHIP IN HAND LAST NIGHT

BUT HE USED UP HIS HEART CHIPS IN THE END

AND GAVE A TOTAL OF 180 HEART CHIPS
TO JI-YOUNG OVER 3 DAYS

FOR 3 NIGHTS AND 4 DAYS, 4 SUBJECTS WERE
ISOLATED WITH THEIR IDEAL TYPES

I'm more drawn to cat-like features.

My ideal type was walking toward me.

"Don't feel too pressured."

"Come eat hoe with me too."

I also like the edge-of-tofu face.

Me? I'm the edge-of-tofu.

JI-YOUNG, WHO WANTED TO MEET
AN EDGE-OF-TOFU FACE, CHOSE SI-HYUN

Once-in-a-millennium ideal type.

"Let's leave together. You have to enjoy
the 'Ji-young view' again."

Hyun-jin was closer
to my ideal type in terms of looks.

You'll find out when you get there.

SI-HYUN, WHOSE IDEAL TYPE IS HYUN-JIN,
CHOSE JI-YOUNG

Because we got along so well,

even though she wasn't
completely my type looks-wise,

I was able to develop feelings for her.

What I'm sure about is
that an edge-of-tofu face is not my type.

I like you.

HYUN-JIN CHOSE SI-HYUN,
WHO WAS IN LAST PLACE OF HER IDEAL TYPES

I realized the looks I thought I wanted

didn't really matter.

I think it'd be okay because it's him.

JUN-SEUNG AND JI-YOUNG CHOSE
THEIR IDEAL TYPE

SI-HYUN AND HYUN-JIN CHOSE
SOMEONE WHO ISN'T THEIR IDEAL TYPE

IF YOU'RE ISOLATED WITH YOUR IDEAL TYPE,
WOULD YOU FALL FOR THEM?

EXPERIMENT RESULT
THERE'S A 50% CHANCE YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE

What do you want to eat the most?

I want to eat some meat.

I want pork cutlet too.

This feels so unreal.
We went up together on the first day.

I know.

Now we're going down together.

We're escaping.

-Yeah, we're really escaping.
-Yeah.

The mailbox.

I haven't seen it in four days.

-My number is…
-Okay.

-What did you save me as?
-Ji-young View.

So are you the icon
of edge-of-tofu face now?

I suppose so.

AFTER THE sh**t

JI-YOUNG AND SI-HYUN'S DATE

THEY WENT TO SEE
THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS TOGETHER

It's Si-hyun.

JI-YOUNG FOUND HER IDEAL TYPE

The edge of tofu.

JUN-SEUNG WENT ON A LONG-AWAITED DATE
WITH JI-YOUNG IN SEOUL TOO

-No way.
-What?

-What?
-What's happening?

They didn't end up dating.

I told you it isn't over until it's over.

She wouldn't go on a date with him
if she's official with Si-hyun.

-Wait.
-They're not together.

-What's going on?
-She said, "Edge of tofu."

She said, "Edge of tofu."

Look.

That was all in one day.

Things almost worked out between them,

but something went wrong,
and it didn't work out.

Then, Jun-seung found an in
and asked to meet up with her.

So they met up. This is insane.

Let's watch a bit more.

Wait.

Are they in Seongsu?

-Isn't it Anguk?
-Is it Anguk?

Didn't you wear something like this?

This color?

It'd look nice
if you wore something underneath.

PICKING OUT CLOTHES FOR EACH OTHER

This is on a different day!

He's picking out clothes for her,
so maybe she changed shirts.

Look at their jewelry.

Wait.

He wasn't wearing a bracelet!

But he's wearing a bracelet here.

Those are two different days.

EATING A SWEET DESSERT AT A CAFE

It looks so sweet.

This one is awesome. Try it.

I'll try this one first.

GOING ON A DATE BY HANGANG RIVER
INSTEAD OF THE BEACH IN GANGNEUNG

HYUN-JIN AND SI-HYUN'S HIKE

Of the four of us,
who will start dating first?

Honestly, I think it's Hyun-jin.

-Me.
-Me too.

I think it's me too.

I think Hyun-jin will start dating first.

I think it'll be me.

That's going to make me sad.

Come on. Stop messing around.

Who is it?

Unbelievable.

Hey, turn off the camera.

-Why?
-Let's not date since we're all busy.

I’m not going to date anyone
before Si-hyun does.

Si-hyun? I think Si-hyun will…

If Si-hyun starts dating someone…

THEIR OWN LOVE LAB EXPERIMENT CONTINUES

What the heck? Why would they
ask a question like that?

People these days are amazing.

They're sh**ting a dating show
even without a camera rolling.

How is that possible?

I'm being serious.

This was the most
entertaining thing I saw today.

Their self-cam.

Man, that was awesome.

Look, it isn't over until it's over!

This should be implemented
on other dating shows too.

Participants filming themselves
even after the sh**t.

This was so fun. This is insane!

This is what I like.

Everyone’s interested,
but they’re all acting indifferent.

-They're acting like friends.
-This is so fun.

They're just like me.

"Who's going to date first?"
But she's thinking, "I want to date you."

''I think it's definitely Si-hyun."

-Nothing that they say is truthful.
-Right?

If Jun-seung didn't give up
and kept hitting on her,

she might change her mind.

What about Jun-seung and Hyun-jin?

I want them to end up together.

That would be juicier.
From friends to lovers.

The real-life Sung Si-won
and Yoon Yoon-je.

Friend? Whatever.
The title should be "Friend? Whatever."

I'm so curious about the next experiment.

The third Love Lab experiment is

Drunk Blind Date.

Shall we clink glasses?

Melting away the looks, backgrounds,
and circumstances in alcohol,

the man and woman must face each other
only in their drunk state.

Women who are cold but pretty…

I'm nervous.

Am I his ideal type?

Do you believe in fated love?

I don't know if I'm drawn to him
because of the alcohol…

For my next relationship,
I want to meet someone established.

That's me.

Does alcohol really help with dating?

In this place…

-Or will it be an obstacle instead?
-It was fun.

I think it's fate

that I met you.



THE LOVE LAb
