8 Days Until Final Selection

After a tumultuous night of conflicts between couples, the new 'change date' begins...

Taewan & Jiyu Change Date

Taewan and Jiyu step out in a matching couple look though it was not planned. Showing off a friendly vibe, they comfortably exchange playful 'tiki-taka' banter in the car.

The first date spot is a drawing class where they will draw portraits of each other. When they try to keep their eyes fixed on each other, they cannot hold back the giggles. The next sketch is taken a bit more seriously. They stare at each other for 2 minutes. "I tried to look at you but I couldn't," he says. Teasingly, she asks, "Are you falling for me?" Heart flutters~

About locking eyes, Taewan said, "I felt something I had never felt before. So I avoided it... It felt really strange. Jiyu seemed different. At that moment, she seemed very attractive." While Jiyu said, "Looking into his eyes, I felt like we understood each other, even though we did not talk. It was new. It made my heart flutter." A mysterious feeling felt by both.

Afterwards, they head to a fancy one-table restaurant for a course lunch. They confide in one another about this trip so far. He is becoming more mature learning new things, and can now understand the views of others. But is still searching for the reason why he is edgy now when he used to be soft and easygoing. While she shares frustration about not being able to speak logically when upset. She just ends up crying, which she feels can be tiring for Dohyeong.

Wrapping up the date, Taewan sweetly surprises Jiyu with an unexpected present. A bottle of the wine she really loved during lunch! Very thoughtful of him, she is touched and thankful~

Dohyeong & Yunseul Change Date

Hyogi and Yunseul chats with Dohyeong ahead of her date but a tense confrontation unfolds. Things get awkward when Hyogi starts airing out all of his issues with Yunseul via Dohyeong. Not understanding why he is doing this in front of someone else, she is quite upset...

At the vinyl bar, Dohyeong and Yunseul share their concerns over a drink. Though she badly wanted to go home on the first day, she has come to accept it by giving up all hope. While he is upset about Jiyu never telling him how she truly feels. He still loves her and wants to know so that he can find a way to fix their issues. Not understanding their partners, the two confide in one another and offer advice.

When asked what are the odds she would choose Hyogi after two weeks, she says about 60 to 40. As for Dohyeong, 80 to 20. "I think I still love her a lot," he says. For her, it was initially 80-20 too but it reduced after seeing him show his true character here. She wants to know at what odds Hyogi can change. "About 70%" of not changing as two weeks is short but he may be able to learn a lesson. Not exactly what she hopes to hear, he tells her the honest truth. "I just hope you make the best choice," he advises. "You guys can still be happy."

Jeonghun & Hyeyeon Change Date

Jeonghun planned a film camera date for Hyeyeon, which is something they both have never done before. A fun date visiting scenic spots on Jeju Island taking photos by the ocean. Later they return to the film camera studio and learn how to develop a few photos themselves.

Afterwards, they visit a wine bar and enjoy delicious tteokbokki. Jeonghun, who is concerned about whether or not to continue his relationship before enlisting in the military, wants to hear more about Hyeyeon's own experience. When she was a college student, her boyfriend then had to enlist. Despite being confident she could wait, it was too hard and eventually broke up after 6 months. If she could choose again, she would have just broken up from the start.

What he fears is a breakup after all the waiting. "That's why I can't ask her to wait for me," he says. Since he is not sure of himself, Huihyeon is also not sure if she could wait. Rather than break up when he is serving in the military, it may be better to do so before he leaves. "I think you should figure out if you could bring about a result that would be worth her wait," Hyeyeon advises. An honest truth which is much more helpful than to give him false hope.

KaKaoTalk Notifications...

At this time, a new message alert! 'You received the photos of your partner's date. Would you like to see them? Yes or No.'

Hyogi chooses 'NO,' not wanting any misunderstandings. "The curiosity will only hurt me."

Hyeyeon also chooses 'NO' right away as seeing the photos yesterday only stressed her out.

Taewan chooses 'YES' for the first time. Since Hyeyeon used the photos against him in their fight yesterday, he wants ammo today in case he is questioned again.

Huihyeon chooses 'YES,' wanting to know if Jeonghun is having a drink at the wine bar when he always wants to just rest at home rather than go out with her.

Jiyu chooses 'YES' since Dohyeong already said he will definitely look at her date photos.

For those who said 'YES,' another new message alert! Oh my gosh! 'If you could go to where your partner is right now, would you go?' This is crazy...

Despite being curious, Jiyu chooses 'NO.' There is no benefit in ruining their date, as it would only make her look bad. Huihyeon wants to go but chooses 'NO' in the end saying, "I thought I'd be digging my own grave if I did." Taewan thinks for a while and types 'NO,' but... He ends up deleting it and sends 'YES'... Everyone is shocked, he is really going!!

Taewan and Hyeyeon already fought before going on the change dates, so crashing her date will only cause more conflict right... What effect will this choice bring?

On the next episode of Change Days 2, the original couples will finally go on a date! Yunseul bluntly asks Hyogi, "Do you even want to continue this relationship?" While Taewan also gets real with Hyeyeon, "I"m not talking to you to make things better between us." 8 days until the final selection, more fights and more tears... 😢
