With only two days left at the 'First Love Sharehouse,' the 'Women's Choice Date' awaits the residents. The last date before the final choice! But also the beginning of a new love square? Who is the popular guy chosen by 3 women? And how will their feelings change?
MCs: Kim Shin Young, Kim Yoon Ju, Jung Hyuk, Jinyea (LABOUM)
Feelings That Cannot Be Hidden
Youngbae returns home to the Sharehouse full of excitement after his date with Ahyun. They have not seen him this happy before. Rang, who is also interested in Ahyun, cannot help but to feel anxious knowing their date must have went well. While his 'first love' Hanseul is also a bit uncomfortable to see him so excited. "He started to get annoying," she joked.
Sweet Lemon Candy
Later, Ahyun walks out with something hidden behind her back. And not so stealthily drops it off in front of Jeseok's door with a bunch of eyes watching. Too obvious! They tease her so in the end, she shyly picks it back up and gives it to him directly. Jeseok cannot stop smiling~
During lunchtime, she suddenly thought of him when she saw the lemon candies and wanted to get it for him. He tells her it is his birthday tomorrow. What a coincidence! These candies is like a birthday gift to him. His ears turned so red talking to her. About to explode! She takes a peek and touches his ear, "It's really hot!" Ooh~ The ears never lie!
A Night Where I Want to Convey My Heart
The residents gather at the dining table to have sashimi for dinner. Yeonju cutely changes to match Jimyung wearing bright blue. A matching couple look! But Youngbae gets up too to go change and match them. What?! They tease him for being slow-witted, but he does not care. He appears shamelessly wearing the same blue and looks the most excited. Too funny!
During dinner, Jimyung sweetly takes care of everything for Yeonju. These two are already in their own world. A solid couple! While Youngbae also takes care of Ahyun, who looks flushed from drinking earlier. He sweetly gives her anti-hangover medicine. Rang who is looking on is in a rush now, and pulls Ahyun aside for some alone time to talk. He wrote her a letter earlier, but wanted to show his sincerity by asking her out on a date in person. So brave!
Same Place, Different Feelings
DJ Yoon Ju returns with 'First Love, Again Radio' to share the stories of the 10 residents who met each other through the 'first love' algorithm. Let's find out where their heart lies!
Hanbyeol ↔ Heeram: Thanking her for the good time today and enthusiastically talking to his friends. And she reciprocated although she does not look too happy. She knows he is a good person but asked herself during the interview, "But is he the right person for me?" To express her gratitude and to be considerate, she chose to hide her true feelings in the story...
Hanseul → Rang: Courageously expressing wanting to spend time with him again tomorrow.
Jian → Rang: Thanking him for lending an ear and listening to her concerns today.
Jeseok → Ahyun: Taking a bold step to express his inner feelings, "Let's take our relationship to the next level."
Youngbae → Ahyun: "I'll recharge you at the end of this long day." It made him happy to see her smiling so happily today, and wanted to get to know her more.
Rang → Ahyun: "I want to go on a date with you."
Ahyun is the recipient of 3 stories! A fierce competition between 3 guys each expressing their sincere interest in her... But who did Ahyun send her story to tonight?
Ahyun → Youngbae: Expressing how sweet he is, making her laugh, and taking good care of her today. "From morning to night, Kim Young Bae!" Being chosen, Youngbae is ecstatic!
Honest Confession, Simple Sincerity
But as the idiom goes, "It's not over until it's over!" The final date awaits! This time, the ladies will choose their dates. If a guy receives more than one date request, he may only pick one...
As expected, Yeonju chooses Jimyung! He is smiling brightly reading her postcard again and again, and even takes a photo of it. During tonight's 'First Love, Again Radio,' they confirmed their feelings for each other through their stories.
While Heeram is deep in thought debating who to choose. In the end, she chooses Hanbyeol to avoid causing any confusion. Despite some doubts, she is still interested in him.
At the same time, Ahyun says, "I like them all. What do I do?" A difficult decision as each guy is charming in their own ways. But she must only choose one...
Checking their mailboxes, Youngbae and Jeseok did not receive a date request. While Rang got 3 postcards! From Jian, Hanseul, and Ahyun! Without hesitation, he chooses Ahyun who he had wanted to go on a date with. Finally, a chance!
Women's Choice Date
A new morning at the Sharehouse! With one date left, how will their feelings change?
Yeon Ju & Ji Myung: Green Light Heart-Fluttering Date
With good sense, Yeonju prepared a date at a botanical garden for Jimyung who likes green. A healing date where they can absorb the positive energy from the green plants. They cutely take a lot of selfies together to save the memory. And outside, a beautiful floral rain of cherry blossom petals. Like time had just stopped for the two of them. So romantic~
Afterwards, they sit down to eat and he sweetly cuts up the waffles for her. Both feel grateful and will remember today as the most memorable. She wonders, "Is it fate?" Although it may seem trivial, she is impressed by the little things he does for her. He is the first guy who took care of her like that. Amazed that her ideal type (behavior) in a man really exists!
Asking what he wants to do most when they leave the Sharehouse, he says he wants to ask for her phone number. Smiling widely, her heart just skipped a beat again! For the two, this is only the beginning~ So happy, falling in love~
A Hyun & Lee Rang: If You Give Me Your Heart
Ahyun prepared a one-day baking class date with Rang. They get competitive decorating the individual cakes and teasing each other. Rang enjoyed their 'tiki-taka' banter and felt her give him butterflies. While she also felt comfortable and had fun goofing around.
In the car, he asks her about her dates with the other two guys. With Jeseok, she felt anxious at first but he put her at ease. And with Youngbae, it started and ended with laughter. Rang is doing his best trying to appeal to her joking at first, but gets serious. He lets her know that his feelings do not fluctuate. A reliable person who gives stability.
Although Rang tried his best to appeal, Ahyun reveals in the interview that she did not feel as interested in him as a potential boyfriend when compared to Jeseok or Youngbae...
Hee Ram & Han Byeol: Time to Engrave Us
Just like in the drama Discovery of Love, Heeram has always wanted to make a pair of wood couple rings with someone she liked. A date is prepared at a wooden ring workshop. As they choose the type of wood and design, Hanbyeol keeps his gaze on her. And sweetly suggests a design that reminds them of each other. Hearing this meant a lot to her as it shows he does care about their time together.
In the end, they decide to go with their zodiac signs. Since it is a gift for each other, he works hard to make her ring with extra love and care. Super focused he wants to make it pretty. "It's for you, after all," he says. The finished wood couple rings are so pretty and meaningful!
Afterwards, they enjoy a drink together. He straightforwardly asks if she will choose him. She is taken aback by such a direct question, but says, "I may." Then adds, "I might feel different tomorrow than I do today." She avoids giving him a definite answer... Cautious about starting up a new relationship that may end in a breakup, she feels afraid to even begin...
Me to You, You to Me
The ones not out on a date hang out together at the Han River. A healing time to zone out by the river view. Feeling hungry, Hanseul leaves with Youngbae to go to the convenience store. And so Jian and Jeseok are left alone... awkward silence... Will she finally be able to open up and share how she feels?
On the final episode of First Love, Again, a confusing and emotional last night awaits at 'First Love Sharehouse'... What will be their final choice? 💖
