A 24-hour final date to date freely with whoever and wherever. Countdown begins until the final choice! Who will muster up the courage...?
24-Hour Final Date
For the final date, a cell phone is provided to each cast member. A date can be requested via text message or in person. The clock starts ticking!
Soowon skips the texting and goes straight to Haneul without hesitation. A date request to go out right now and she agrees. While the other guys are still looking at their phones...
A notification alert is heard over in the woman's room... Dana quietly checks her phone when Yeomin walks away. A text 'Wanna go see the stars?' from Wonjae. But her expression looks a bit complicated, Inseong notices. Aware of Yeomin's feelings, she whispers. Haneul comes in to loudly ask who got a text. Ouch, she really cannot read the room... Yeomin so sad...
Jimin is now on the move... heads outside to text 'Dana-ya, where are you?' Feeling anxious, Wonjae did not get a reply. Urgently gives Dana a call and gets an okay!
Meanwhile, Jaehyung is finding this hard and needs time to figure it out. Doyeon jokes how it is already the 7th episode. Anyway, he decides to choose after the others are done.
Soowon and Haneul Night Date
Date Location: Jamsu Bridge (잠수교)
After getting takoyaki from a food truck, Soowon and Haneul sit down to enjoy the pretty river view with their late-night snack. Pays attention and sweetly takes care of her.
He asks, "Have you never been in a long distance relationship?" and she nods. A distance of 370km, she lives in Seoul while he is in Changwon. He is surprised to hear she meets almost every day. Wondering how that is possible for an office worker. She has never dated one...
She asks him how he solves a fight over long distance. No choice but to do it over the phone and then go up on the weekend. "Wow, really... must be hard," she says. It seems she is a bit burdened by the long distance.
Already planning ahead, he asks if she is closer to Seoul Station or Suseo Station. She does not know though. When he gets off work on Fridays and takes the train up, he usually arrives at Seoul Station by 9pm. She almost chokes on water laughing. A long distance is worth a try he urges. But she reminds him to just think about doing well here. "Too far ahead? Sorry," he says. "Yes," she chuckles. A sweet chat about a possible future.
She asks if he has any regrets coming on the show. No, rather than regrets, he is amazed by the feelings that have arisen. After coming out for fresh air, Haneul is feeling better now. "The takoyaki was delicious," she says. "Today was such a great day."
Back in the car, Haneul holds the phones wondering if they look alike (the photos). "Who and who?" he asks. "Us," she says. Panel agrees, they do resemble each other!
Yeomin in Tears
Over at the 'Love Mansion.' Inseong asks Yeomin if she is 100% certain about not contacting Wonjae. Not knowing when his date will end. Not a good feeling. Everyone has 24 hours, but there is nothing they can do...
After heading into the kitchen, Yeomin is unable to hold it in any longer. Bursting into tears, "I can't do it because it hurts my pride." With what happened between the people here now that it is like this, she feels she is such a bad person. "No no no, absolutely not!" as Inseong hugs and consoles her. So sad... Why is she blaming herself...
Yeomin tears up in the interview, realizing Wonjae is not even considering her. That his heart is now certain. Rather than being sad over his sudden change of heart, it is more because of this situation keeps repeating itself. "I was a bit... sorry about myself. I was very upset."
Wonjae & Dana Rooftop Date
This couple is on a date to view the stars. "Feels like escaping at dawn," Dana says. Arriving at the hotel rooftop, snacks are prepared as they look at the moon and stars. A clear evening sky after the rain. A lot of stars, so pretty. Dana feels immersed in the bright sky and enjoying the breeze. Stealing glances of her, honey drips from his eyes.
Wonjae feels a week is really a short time to get to know someone and to start a relationship. But in this short time, they spent a lot of time together. Dancing and then a date the very next day, so he wishes to spend more time with her... Only gets a simple "thanks" in response.
At this time, Yeomin sets her pride aside and musters up the courage to text him. 'Wonjae-ya :) I'm sad that this is the last time, can you talk to me at lunch tomorrow?' And sent! He hears the alert, but does not check it despite Dana telling him to. Yeomin stares at the phone, waits and waits, but no response... Ottoke...
The way Wonjae described his first impression of Dana. The things he said then was actually his ideal type. "Noona is really pretty," he says. Embarrassed, she lowers her head...
Being given 24 hours for the last mission. For his own personal greed, he wants to spend the remaining 21 hours with noona. She tells him about the text from Jimin too. He tells her to go meet him quickly so he can go out on another date with her. After some thought, "okay!"
Jimin's Sleepless Night
Time remaining until the final choice is 20:45. Jimin is in bed but has not fallen asleep waiting for a response from Dana. At 4:15am, 'Don't reply since you are on a date. Let's go on a date at 12 tomorrow. :)' he texts.
He gets up right away after Wonjae returns. And gives Dana a call to ask if she can come out to talk. Back for 5 minutes and going out again. Wonjae gets ready for bed, and sees Jimin is missing... Then finally replies to Yeomin, who already fell asleep from waiting.
Jimin wants to go on a date, but does not know how to prepare since she did not reply. Could not sleep feeling uneasy. It has been a long time since he felt this way and he does not know what to do now. Wants to spend time and have a deeper conversation, but did not get a reply so a lot of thoughts. She did not reply since it is late, and has a lot of thoughts too...
Despite a good guess about who she is interested in, he wants to know if he can ask who. In response, she says, "Wonjae and oppa?" Hmm... A relief... or unfortunate...?
In the interview, Jimin reveals feeling nervous and not being able to sleep because she is out on a date with another guy. Unsure about who she likes, he keeps thinking it is not him lately. "Still, I want to take one last chance..." he says.
He asks if she already has a date tomorrow... "Want to meet at 12?" she asks. Afraid it might be too early, they agree to text after waking up. The sun is already rising... Let her sleep!
The Final Day
14 hours left, the last morning at the 'Love Mansion.' The men get up all at once to get ready for the final dates. Yeomin is also up and checks her phone. The response text from Wonjae: 'I have another date with Dana noona tomorrow... I'm not sure how time and the itinerary will proceed. If it's okay, shall we talk while taking a walk?' Left with no choice, 'Yes then.'
"While upset... This situation makes me feel miserable," she says in the interview.
Back at the guys room, Jaehyung is also preparing for a date today. "Actually I worried a lot. I barely had a chance to talk. I need to talk a little more with this opportunity."
Last night, Jaehyung made a sudden dash toward Inseong. Wanting to talk today since there has not been a chance to yet. Money?? So the two went outside for a private talk.
Inseong wonders if the guys had a thing where they could not approach if there is an obvious love line (with Jungwoo). Yes, he says, there must have been. As Inseong says that was how the timing went and missed on each other. "But somehow, [Jungwoo] was eliminated, so now there is an empty spot," says Jaehyung. "The vacancy could also be timing." Haha... He asks if she wants to go to the sea tomorrow and she says yes.
Ready to go! The 3 couples Jaehyung & Inseong, Soowon & Haneul, and Jimin & Dana head out for the final dates. And then those who could not go out on a date...
Wonjae & Yeomin Talk
The weather is so nice today. It would be really nice to go out on a date, but they stay behind at the 'Love Mansion' for a chat. This is the last chance for Yeomin...
Unable to go on a proper date with him, Yeomin feels sorry. So Wonjae does want to use this chance to talk with her. "Come [on a date] with me today," she says. It is the last time, can he not go out together? A pity... Our girl setting aside pride being so courageous. But he is full of excuses saying he already made plans before she contacted him. Ugh...
"Am I late again this time?" she asks. "I shouldn't hesitate." Too hard... It did take a long time for her to text him because of too many thoughts. What to say... and would be rude to send a text while he was out with Dana unnie. He seems shocked to hear she knew he went out. "Is it possible to not know?" she says. As soon as he got the phone, he contacted Dana...
Because in all situations, he feels everything happens in an instant. So he did not know it will be like this. First time he has ever felt his heart suddenly change. Yeomin thinks the situation is unavoidable here. "So you have to get the timing right." she says. "It is me who didn't get it right, not you." Blaming herself... So sad, please do not blame yourself!
At this time, Jimin and Dana passes by on their way out for their date...Dana does not look at Wonjae, hilarious! 12:10 left until the final choice. How upsetting is this for Yeomin...
Soowon & Haneul Flower Arrangement Date
For the final date course, flower arrangement! It is something he has never done before, and thinks it will be meaningful to make it himself and give it to someone. But another reason why he chose this is for the flower meanings! "Apology! Repentance, enlightenment..." he says. "I have to put these flowers in." Aww... He is being so cute! But she jokes, "[Or] farewell?" No... he says, need to put something like 'reunion' and will ask the teacher.
Date Location: 'Trend By Me' Flower Class & Cafe (트렌드바이미)
Today's class is to make a floral centerpiece. For the special couple class, flowers with 'love' meanings is prepared. The teacher goes over the meaning of each flower. The pasta gerbera means mysterious, riddle. The mango tulip means confession of love, eternal affection. Then a variety of roses, pure love. And finally the waxflower which means fickle. She tells oppa he must put one in. Haha...
A way to create a message for each other. Time to start! Haneul boldly chooses flowers while Soowon carefully selects one by one based on meaning. A gift for her, he is so focused. Fully jam-packed with flowers. "This size represents my heart," he says. Cannot hide it!
Looking at Haneul he thinks one of the flowers is like the one on her blouse. "What about the flowers on the clothes... already have it on your face," he says. Haha... Both drops their head in embarrassment. Suddenly feeling hot... Looking so sweet today~
The florist can tell how different their personalities are based on the piece. Her centerpiece is petite while his is abundant. "You're wild and greedy, right?" Haneul chuckles~ A lot of greed! He wanted to make it even higher since this is his heart, but controlled. Both did such a good job though, the centerpieces are so pretty!
Like a boyfriend, he takes photos of her with the flowers outside. And a selfie, so sweet!
Jaehyung & Inseong Sea Date
Exciting, Jaehyung drives the Lamborghini. But in the car, silence... Like after a couple had a fight where the girl is looking out the window and the guy is only driving. Aigoo...
In the interview, Jaehyung reveals he is suspicious of Inseong as a money catcher. "Let's go on a date first and check it out a bit more," he says.
As for Inseong, she also questions. Everything was so sudden. "Is [Jaehyung] really sincere? Or what my heart is... I'm confused."
Back in the car, Inseong is curious if he asked her out on a date because things did not work out with Dana. But he says it is just a difference in order since she was dating someone else. Again, it is the timing... He feels good about the date today, "No matter what the results are, I don't think I'll regret anything." He just wants to believe her, but she sighs, "aigoo~" Everyone must be thinking this way, "Want to believe..."
Date Location: Eurwang-ri Beach (을왕리 해수욕장)
Arriving at the sea by Incheon, the atmosphere is really good. They walk along the beach to enjoy the view and feel the fresh air. "I think it's nice that I came here with you," he says all of a sudden. A chuckle after the straight ball...
The two move around separately to look for pretty clamshells. Jaehyung writes something on the sand... Inseong walks over... "Suddenly??" Taken aback... "Inseong ♡" Even the panel is cringing hard, what on earth... He is seriously just here to troll now!
The sea date ends with some selfies to save as memories. Cute~
In the interview, Inseong was really confused after the date. She does not know exactly what her feelings are, and is also reminded of things that has happened. "I don't know my feelings or Jaehyung oppa's feelings."
Jimin & Dana Temple Date
About 11 hours until the final choice. On the way to Bongeunsa Temple, a place where Dana can put her mind at ease. She asks if he has a religion, but he does not. Relieved since they are going to a temple, but he says he will go anyway. She likes to go there especially at night and just space out. Jimin repeatedly says, "I like it!" Neomu, neomu~
He talks about liking the scent of incense and lights it at home. Though the scent is nice, she thinks incense is so pretty when it is burning. Another connection as he excitedly agrees with her. The vibe here is so different than with Wonjae. Like Loco says, "It's over!"
At the same time, Wonjae is staring at his phone waiting at the 'Love Mansion'... sighs...
Date Location: Bongeunsa Temple (봉은사)
A first time for Jimin to visit this temple. Dana tells him there is another space that she loves here. Walking around, minds are at ease. Enjoying the gentle breeze~
"My mind feels so calm right now," says Jimin. "Oh, really? I'm glad~" she says. Dana shows him her favorite spot at the temple. The square in front of the Maitreya Buddha. When she is not feeling so happy, she would come here often. In the evenings, the floor looks transparent when the wind blows. Very pretty at night.
They take a seat on the floor to enjoy the calmness and the sound of the birds. The last time she came was a month ago to walk around with her dog. He asks if she comes alone or with friends, but she says usually alone. More comfortable that way. "It's not the first time to come with a guy, is it? She says, "...It's the first." Ooh, very meaningful then...
7:20 left on the clock. Wonjae lying down, impatiently waiting. She promised to finish quickly, but still no response. He writes, 'Can you call me later when alone or going to the bathroom?' After a brief pause, sent! The alert sounds at the quiet temple. After checking, she puts down the phone. Does not reply... Like Jimin who waited until sunrise, and Yeomin who waited with no response... Wonjae is now waiting and tosses his phone out of frustration...
Wonjae says in the interview, "It feels really strange now. It's not that I'm mad or angry, it's so frustrating... bad thoughts come to mind right now."
Back to the date, they grab something to drink since it is hot out. Talking about alcohol, Jimin says he drinks once a week. For Dana, 4 days a week! Haha, whoa... "We..." he says. "Shall we go have a drink when the sun goes down?" Daebak~ A 2nd date request! But Dana looks perplexed... a promise with Wonjae... a time has not been set yet so she needs to reply... But Jimin does not give up! "If it's okay, can I ask for 1 or 2 more hours...?"
Jimin says in the interview, "I was so nervous. Because it depends on who the priority is [for Dana] to decide on who to go out with. I thought, 'If she rejects this, I'm done!'"
On the final episode of Love Catcher in Seoul, Dana sheds tears in the interview... What will be her decision? And the final choice... Who is money? Who will become a couple?
