A Date With My First Love
The first love dates continue from the previous episode...
Hee Ram & Ji Myung Intertwined Strings of Fate
A makgeolli date is a memorable place for Heeram because it was when they first said 'I love you' to each other. But for Jimyung, it has already become a faint memory. The vibe between them is quite awkward. Neither looks comfortable... Thanks to the timely makgeolli explosion, they finally ease up a bit and start talking. He asks why she summoned him. She says, "After we broke up, I had a lot of regrets." And the two return to silence...
The breakup reason is revealed during the interview. While not on good terms, Heeram went out for a meal with another guy. And when confronted about it, she feared a breakup and lied about it to Jimyung. Though they dated again after she apologized profusely, the relationship eventually fell apart because trust was already broken.
In the interview, Heeram said, "I thought we still had a chance to restore the relationship. But once I faced him in person, I could see that he had already moved on." And Jimyung said, "It would be better for us to remain friends rather than restart the relationship."
She has regrets and could not move on from the past, but he has already moved on...
Young Bae & Han Seul Meeting and Parting
For the second date spot, Youngbae and Hanseul return to the wine bar where they first met. They talk about their first impressions of each other. She knew they were not compatible, but she was intrigued by him because they were so different.
They look back on their past relationship and breakup. When he brings up how disappointed she was in him, she nods without a word. "If there was a rulebook for relationships, you were like following it rule by rule," he says. "But I didn't even have a dictionary to look up." For him, she became the definition of love. For her, she put her all into it without regrets.
It was a long-distance relationship and their phone calls became more and more silent. To try to salvage it, she asked him to go see her in Germany. But he turned her down citing how he needed to stay on a diet for his body profile photoshoot. When reflecting back on the incident he realized how stupid he was. Because he was all words and no actions, she became really disappointed in him. "You begged and promised me you'd change but didn't," she says. "That is when I realized this relationship had an expiry date."
In the interview, Youngbae said, "Even though our timing might've been bad... If we're meant to be, we'll end up together." While Hanseul said, "But even if we were meant to meet again, it doesn't have to be a romantic relationship. We could be friends."
Another former couple who are no longer on the same page...
Han Byeol & Yeon Ju Return to the Coast
After lunch, Hanbyeol and Yeonju take a walk along the coastal trail at Igidae Cliff, which is a place they often went to while dating. This is where they would usually end their days talking and admiring the night view. Both are excited and happy as if they were dating again. To her, it feels different and is like a new start this time.
He never imagined they would meet again since they never talked after breaking up. Teasing him, she reminds him that he blocked her. A chuckle~ Both are fascinated by how easily they got comfortable with each other again. No awkwardness at all. "I guess it's fate," she says.
When talking about how they will eventually go on dates with others, she cutely shows aegyo and reminds him of how jealous she gets. She says, "Feel free to come to me whenever you want to be comfortable, okay?" Charming words that makes his heart flutter~
In the interview, Hanbyeol said with a smile, "It was so cute~ Yeonju loves comfort more than anything." And while curious about others, she finds him the most comfortable. "I just want to hang out with him only," she said.
