Love is a game of survival.
You sure you can win?
You're kidding me?
I will give it my all.
I've gotta take this chance.
If I do, will you?
Hey, we're talking. This is rude. Come back in five minutes.
Wanna just go?
That was so freaking annoying.
Love is a stimulating surge of dopamine.
Wait, hold on. Aren't you moving too fast?
Want me to bite you?
I imagined it.
Just you wait.
I can't think straight.
I couldn't stop thinking about that massage today.
Sorry, we forgot to bring our
wedding invitations.
Do I fall for people too fast?
I don't want you to feel pressured, but I do want you to think about me.
I'm a pretty piece of trash.
Love is all about perfect timing.
Things could've been different if we had talked sooner.
Things never go my way.
Look, there's a gate-crasher here.
The tables might be turning.
You must've had fun in Paradise yesterday.
I was desperate to see you.
You can stay, if you're curious.
- I'm curious. - Then stay.
It's the place to explore your feelings.
My feelings have grown and it's confusing.
I feel like I've caused a misunderstanding and toyed with someone else's feelings.
You were completely shutting me out earlier.
She pushes me away.
In ten days, for real?
I just never would've imagined it,
to be honest.
This is the hottest inferno in the world.
Single's Inferno.
We're back.
My heart is racing.
I know I feel this way every time we do this, but it still makes my heart race.
- Same. - I know, right?
Something about this…
Single's Inferno became the most talked about show last year.
It did!
So I was wondering, "What will be the hot topic this season?"
Apparently, this season,
the nights in Paradise
were the hottest ever.
I'm a bit bothered by that bedroom scene.
- Weren't they lying in the same bed? - That's right.
- They were. - But it's about time
- Korea advanced a little. - Right?
- To some extent. - That's true.
- It's about time we took one step further. - Wait, so- is that-
that's your idea of progress?
Do we really wanna be pioneers in that way?
Well, you know, if possible…
So, we had a little peek of what's to come,
but it seems like they're all very honest and expressive with their emotions.
They're not trying to hide anything,
and since they're so expressive with their emotions,
I'm looking forward to seeing how this will factor into their interactions with
each other.
INFERNO RULE NO DISCLOSURE OF JOB OR AGE
Why are we leaning forward?
Wait.
- We need to observe… - It's instinctive!
To watch.
- I can't help it! - We need to look closely.
She's so…
- She's so gorgeous. - She's beautiful.
Hello, my name is Lee Si-an.
I admit that I've constantly been in relationships. Currently,
I don't have a boyfriend which is a very rare occasion,
so I applied hoping to experience a passionate kind of romance.
I want a whirlwind relationship that'll sweep me off my feet.
I think my best features are my sharp cat-like eyes, my kissable lips,
and of course…
my figure.
I was a competitive swimmer until the sixth grade.
And it's still my hobby even to this day. I do think I'm naturally athletic.
I tend to go for anyone that catches my eye.
I've never had trouble developing connections
into relationships before.
The kind of person I'd like to meet here,
is someone who is tough and has a strong mentality.
Because he'll need to sweep me off my feet in order to really get me to like him.
My name is Chung You-jin. I would say I get hit on quite often.
I even received six blind date offers after
attending a friend's wedding one time, I swear I'm not kidding.
For my whole life, I've been told that I'm lovable,
that I'm cute, and that I'm a little bubbly…
Someone even told me that I looked like I had heart emojis
that were just floating around me all the time.
My main hobby is free diving.
When I swim freely in the quiet waters,
I feel like I'm the Little Mermaid and I just absolutely love it.
When I'm around someone I'm interested in,
I ten run my hand through my hair
unconsciously
like this.
I speak in a cute way too.
Like "Have you eaten yet?"
Hello.
- Do I just sit anywhere? - Yeah. You can sit anywhere.
- You can see them sizing each other up. - It's true.
You can't help but notice.
They're both beautiful, but in different ways.
- They're totally different. - She's got a lovable demeanor.
My name is Kim Min-seol.
I kind of have a puppy face, so I tend to get really affectionate like,
"Ruff-ruff" when I become friends with someone.
I often hear that I'm sorta like a Maltese puppy because I'm cute and lovable.
I'm going to win the games for sure. I'm really competitive.
I might get all fired up during the games if that's what it takes to seize the
man I'm interested in.
I'll definitely be daring and direct.
Ruff-ruff.
- How pretty. - We're sitting apart.
Ah, you're right.
- Where are the men gonna sit? - This has definitely
- been the highlight today. - Yeah.
- It's a woman. - Yeah…
- Wait. - It's a woman.
- What? - It's a female member.
A female again?
My name is Bae Ji-yeon.
I usually work out on a daily basis, so I'm confident I have
that hotness factor.
My main hobby is horseback riding.
It's such a refreshing feeling when I'm racing
against the wind. I really love it.
My type of guy is someone with a muscular build,
especially guys with broad shoulders.
I don't like to date guys who are constantly overthinking things.
I wonder why the men aren't coming.
Right, it's odd.
- There are only two seats left. - What's going on?
Yeah, exactly.
Someone's coming.
No way.
- Look at her face. - Her face.
I love that.
My name's Kim Hye-jin.
Guys hit on me pretty frequently.
I have this many unread messages that have piled up.
I've been told that I can be very quirky sometimes. Like,
I will dance in the streets when I get too excited about something.
So people around me have often said that I'm a little "unpredictable".
When I know I'm into someone, I tend to stare at them
without even meaning to. They all fall for me when I do that.
Still no male contestants.
Oh, you're right.
My name… is Kim A-rin.
I decided to join Single's Inferno, because I was hoping to
meet likeminded people… who are attractive on the inside
and also on the outside.
I think I'm charming because I'm full of surprises.
I often hear that I can come across to people as cold and even snobbish,
but once you get to know me, I'm really easygoing.
Since I was little, I've often been told that I was pretty,
and some men would occasionally tell me that I'm the prettiest woman they've
ever seen in their lives.
Gosh, this younger generation is really all about being candid, huh?
That's what this show's about.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
The seat in the corner's all that's left.
Hello.
I'm feeling bad vibes now. Just look at them.
These contestants are the prettiest yet.
That's true. Personally, I think all of these women are flawless when it comes to
- their appearances. - I agree.
How did production find people like them?
I feel like ninety percent of the male contestants… are going to fall for Si-An
- at first sight. - I agree.
Si-an is certainly very eye-catching. But if you take a closer look,
there's a cute wholesomeness underneath.
I think she's very charming, but she did say she likes relationships on the wilder
- side. - Yeah. That's true.
Now that already scares me.
I think she'll go back and forth a lot with her decisions.
- I think so too. - Right.
Uh-huh.
- Yeah? - Uh-huh.
Because as for Min-seol, she has such a pretty smile that even I found it very
memorable. Besides, she's got a lovable attitude.
Remember, "Ruff ruff"?
Yes, but her cutesy demeanor makes her very likable.
As for You-jin. She's so bubbly and has a cheerful personality… and that's what
- people find attractive. - She looks kind.
True.
Are we only meeting the female contestants today? What's going on?
- Maybe. - That may be the case.
- It's hard to predict. - Tell me about it.
Are they competing to go to Paradise?
I think this is it.
This is all of us.
- It seems like it's just the women today. - Right.
What's going on?
I wonder what this means.
I feel like we're…
- just left here stranded on this island. - Like…
Wait.
What?
- Someone's coming. - What?
A guy is coming!
Look at those veins.
- Her expression's so different now. - It's like she came alive.
But there are no empty seats. There are no seats for him.
You're right.
What's going on?
- Do we say hello? - Hello.
Hello.
That scared me.
That startled me.
Hello, singles.
Ladies, please stand up from your seats.
Starting now, we will match the couples who will go on a date in Paradise.
Right now?
We will match the couples who will go on a date in Paradise.
Right now?
Already?
Right away?
That's crazy.
Isn't this too soon? The guys aren't even here yet.
They haven't seen the rest of the guys yet.
We're doing it now?
No way.
At that moment, I swear I got goosebumps.
Already? We only saw him for, like, ten seconds.
First-place male contestant,
you may now choose the woman you'd like to take to Paradise.
Oh gosh.
…May now choose the woman you'd like to take to Paradise.
- "First place?" - Oh gosh.
What?
- First? - First place?
- I guess they've already competed. - I guess so.
That's why his muscles are all pumped? 'Cause he just fought.
- His arms. - You're right.
Yes!
- He placed first in what? What did he win? - Is he back from playing a game?
This is crazy.
WOMEN'S INFERNO
- They're showing us what happened. - Oh, an hour ago.
They came an hour ago?
- There's a Men's Inferno? - There are separate infernos.
They came without…
- This place is looking gloomy already. - You're right. It's so…
My name is Kim Te-hwan.
I'm full of self-love and I live with conviction.
I've been aware of my good looks ever since I was born.
People never stay angry at me because they ease up when they see my face.
C'mon.
- Please. He's not that hot… - Really
Oh, please…
- He's not that handsome. - Who's he kidding?
Sometimes when I look in the mirror,
I feel like I could get sucked into my own eyes.
I've given up on countless career paths and prioritized romance over work.
I doubt someone here takes relationships more seriously than I do.
So he's been neglecting work?
He's saying he's been neglecting work to focus on dating.
What in the…
- Yeah, exactly. - That's right.
My name is Kook Dong-ho.
If I had to choose my strongest features, they would be my height and my big eyes.
People say that I can give off a cold first impression,
but my personality is rather sweet and tender.
I'm sweet and expressive - Oh, okay. After two seconds… My personality's
- expressive and sweet. - Say that after two seconds.
Oh!
Was I being too casual?
- Aw, he's cute. - There's always someone like him.
- There is. - He's pleasant though.
- Mm. - Yeah, he is.
- Right? - Dong-ho's left a strong
- impression on us for now. - Yeah.
He has.
I'm determined to approach the woman I like and make her my own.
My name is Jang Theo. If I'm to describe my personality
in one word, a lot of people say I'm like a
"bulldozer."
I'm daring, straightforward and I don't care
about what others think of me. I'm not a calculating person
and I never play hard to get.
My looks get pretty polarizing opinions.
I'm popular with those who prefer guys who look like bad boys.
But I'm pretty much neglected by the women who prefer their men to look innocent
or have a pretty face.
Yo.
- Yo? - "Yo"?
- A man who introduces himself with "Yo"? - It's the worst introduction ever.
Even hip-hop musicians don't say that anymore.
Really?
- "Yo." - Yeah.
It's basically illegal to start a conversation with "Yo".
Is that so?
I didn't expect to hear that.
Yo.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
I'm Jang Theo.
- Jang Theo? - Jang…
Jang Theo.
Jang Theo?
- Right. - I'm Kim Te-hwan.
Kim Te-hwan.
I'm Kook Dong-ho.
Dong-ho, nice to meet you.
You're quite manly.
I went in giving a macho first impression cause I expected other muscular guys,
so I said "Yo,
sup?" but as I said, "Yo",
they were all so gentle with their hellos that it caught me off guard,
so I just said "Oh, hello" as soon as I saw them.
I guess the next three will be the ladies?
Yeah.
My name is Kim Jeong-su.
I think my best feature is my deep voice which I'm told makes me seem trustworthy.
It's not something you can earn; it's something you just have.
So I think it's my strongest feature.
I tend to be loyal and friendly only to those
I like. I'm docile like a retriever. My kinds of relationships
are the lovey-dovey ones.
What if two more guys come?
I expected to see at least one woman. I'm a little disappointed.
Someone's here.
I just saw someone pass by.
What?
- Looks like it's a woman. - Ah.
What?
Wait.
This guy's looking pretty manly.
Wait. What?
Isn't that Yuk?
It's Yuk!
- Isn't he famous? - That's right. He is.
I'm Yuk Jun-seo.
I decided to participate because I wanted to experience something different from
my daily life.
I'm curious to see what kinds of bonds I can make with new people here.
I constantly work out and I'm a former UDT soldier,
so I'm confident with my physicality.
People say I look like I'd be popular, but actually, I'm not popular.
I'm really not at all.
Unlike my stoic outer appearance,
some people have said that…
I'm rather adorable.
I've heard from other people that I'm cute,
and that my personality isn't as disciplined
as they would expect since they know I was a soldier. Honestly,
I think that I'm like any other ordinary guy my age. And I'm even…
how should I say this, I'm actually a bit sloppy.
Those who like that side of me are the ones who're calling me adorable.
Right.
He's a former UDT soldier. Do you know him, Jin-young?
Not personally, we were in different operating forces,
but he did serve his time while I was enlisted.
He already created quite the buzz through another reality show.
- Yeah. - "The Iron Squad."
Hello, singles.
You are currently isolated here… in Men's Inferno.
We were right.
The female contestants are isolated in Women's Inferno.
How disappointing.
- I know. - I was starting to get my hopes up.
You are not allowed to reveal your job or age in Inferno.
Once you become a couple, you get to escape and spend
a night in Paradise.
Now… the men will be competing in a game for a date in Paradise.
- Jumping right in. - Already?
Please gather by the swimming pool.
Darn it.
I was feeling a little bit disappointed… because
I expected the first date in Paradise to be based on first impressions.
I was confident that I could get the first date in Paradise.
Te-hwan seems to keep having unjustified views of himself.
Wait, I'm so curious. Did any of the men capture your attention?
If you ask my opinion, I'll be keeping an eye on Dong-ho, Theo, and Jeong-su.
I see.
Well, Dong-ho and Theo seem to have opposite appeals.
True.
- He looks tough. - Mm. And of course, you
know, Jeong-su is my type.
- So I think… - Which one do you think has the best look?
I just feel like we'd click in so many ways, and he has a nice voice.
He does have a nice voice. He really does.
I think if Te-hwan manages to keep his mouth shut,
- if he doesn't speak… he might get chosen - We can't expect him not to speak.
His looks are captivating enough, but if he talks just a little too much, then
- he'll probably lose his charm. - You're right.
Te-hwan does have the best physique out of all of them.
I agree with you.
Theo seemed pompous at first, but the way he puffed up his chest and strutted
around showing off his physique…might come off as adorable to some female
- contestants. - He seems a little mischievous.
Uh-huh.
Jun-seo might be good at one-on-one dates.
He's not the type of person who puts himself out there.
True.
He's like those characters from romance comic books.
- He has the long hair. - Or like those princes who are always ill.
Ill?
Ill how?
- Those princes who are unwell but then… - But when he takes off his shirt…
- It's a pleasant surprise - A real twist.
BACK TO AFTER 1 HOUR
WOMEN'S INFERNO
Wait.
What is it?
- It's Jun-seo. - He made it.
He has such a long reach.
Oh, gosh.
It's about reach versus power.
Dang it.
- He's like a dark horse, isn't he? - Yeah, a dark horse.
- A dark horse. I could see that. - A wild one.
Wild.
Look at his body.
- Martial arts. - That was intense.
Exceptional.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
What?
He's just standing there.
I'm a little scared.
I am too.
He's scary.
He needs to smile a little.
It's like he's choosing a battle opponent.
First-place male contestant,
please select the woman you'd like to go to Paradise with.
This is fun.
I wonder who he'll choose.
Sorry.
Let me see.
Smiling like that will draw his attention.
It'll be captivating for sure.
You-jin's smiling on purpose.
The sunlight…
Ah sure.
Wait.
She said she runs her hand through her hair, and she just did it.
You-jin said it was a habit of hers.
There it is.
He's fallen for it. She's caught his attention. Yeah, for sure.
Has he?
The one on the left.
I choose her.
- On the left? - Who?
The left?
- Who? - Who's on the left?
- Is it Si-an? - The lady on the left.
The lady on the left.
I choose her.
Thank you.
- You-jin. - It's You-jin.
Right.
- Those eyes… - It can't be helped.
- I guess you have to smile a lot. - I guess so.
- It's true. It creates a connection. - She keeps smiling.
First-place male contestant,
please take the hand of the woman you chose and head to Paradise.
Shall we?
- They want us to hold hands. - Sure, go ahead.
- They're going to Paradise right away. - Amazing.
So, sunlight was shining from my direction?
I guess so.
Sorry.
- The sun was right behind me, so… - Yeah.
I saw a halo behind you.
- He's acting awkward. - I know. He's adorable.
I get why they call him adorable.
All I remember was his gaze when he was just standing there looking at all of us
for ages. His scary gaze truly struck me, but after he smiled once,
I sensed that he definitely had a softer side.
I have a question. You-jin smiled as soon as he arrived, right? Is that some
- sort of flirting skill? - That's right.
- A skill? - There was nothing to smile about. What's
so funny about that situation? It's not funny.
She kept-
She kept on smiling. I see that as a skill.
So it was a skill.
- He fell for it though. - People like her have a nasty
temper with their moms at home.
Wait.
- It's a skill. - You don't know that.
Right, there's no proof. I'm the one who gets temperamental with my mom. Sorry,
- Mom. - You're talking about yourself.
Wow.
Maybe the runner-up will come too.
How many do you think will be here?
- Up to third. - Yeah.
- Third place? - Yeah, up to third place.
Someone's here.
- Wait. Huh? - He's tall.
- Is it Dong-ho? - Wait.
- Is it Jeong-su? - Isn't that Jeong-su?
Jeong-su? Isn't it Te-hwan?
Hello.
- Jeong-su. - It's Jeong-su.
His physique sets him apart.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
Second place male contestant, choose the woman you would
like to take to Paradise.
- They're really starting to flirt. - Gosh, look at Ji-yeon.
They've gotta take charge.
- Look, they're all desperate now. - Yeah.
Right.
Hye-jin's sending lots of signals. Look.
- What? - Si-an is too.
It'll either be Hye-jin or Si-an. Si-an's sending him signals now too. Who will it
- be? - Wow, Si-an. They've really stepped it up
I'd like to go with…
the second lady here.
…The second lady here.
The second place male contestant may now take the woman he chose to Paradise.
Shall we?
Yes, lets.
Gosh.
Oh wow.
Did you guys… play a game before we arrived?
Yeah. We went to a swimming pool.
You had to swim?
Yeah.
But I think it's really cool that you came in second place.
It felt pretty bad, to be honest. I'll win first-place next time.
Oh yeah?
It was just odd.
I just kept smiling.
I smiled as much as I could… because I really wanted to go with him.
His face was exactly my type. To be honest,
I kind of sent him signals like, "Let's go together." And when he actually
chose me, I was so glad that it worked.
The matching for today's Paradise couples is over.

SINGLE'S INFERNO
We're starting with the men and women placed in separate infernos.
How do you think the contestants feel about this?
Well, I don't think it was a very pleasant start for them.
- I agree. - Same.
And they had to choose someone in such a short time.
- Only based on looks. - Just based on looks.
It's not necessarily a bad thing. If people were close, they'd feel sorry about
making Paradise decisions in front of each other. Right now they're strangers, so I
- don't think they'll feel sorry at all. - Yeah, that's right.
You're right.
Do you need help?
Thank you.
- Wow. - Gosh.
My goodness.
Wow, thank you so much.
Thank you.
- The seats are so far back. - I know, right?
Bet you're tired. Feel free to lie down.
Is your seat belt on?
Yeah.
- Just gotta start the car. - Okay.
How do I do it?
Off we go.
I sort of feel like I'm dreaming or something, you know?
Yeah? Same here.
It doesn't feel real.
I know.
It feels surreal being here right now to be honest.
Right.
It's not a bad drive. It's kinda nice. Don't you think so?
Vroom, let's go.
- "Vroom." - Right.
- She does. - A lot.
"Vroom."
"Vroom, let's go."
I'm not feeling it.
Well, you can use it too!
- Go on, give it a go. - Vroom.
- Wow, this view is no joke. - The view's amazing. We can see
the Namsan Seoul Tower from here.
You're right.
Wow,
I love it.
Whoa, look at all these rose petals.
This is crazy.
Wow, I love this view.
- It sure is Paradise. - It sure is.
- It's all so fancy. - It really is.
Wow.
Here too.
Gosh…it's so nice.
We can finally sleep in a comfortable place tonight, thank goodness.
Finally.
All that effort was worth it.
- Thank you. - Yeah!
- Thank you for choosing me. - Pleasure's all mine.
Wow.
It looks so good!
- We're finally eating together. - Yeah…
- Thanks to you, let's enjoy the food. - Oh no, it's thanks to you.
- Help yourself. - Okay.
Is this duck?
Wait,
- Isn't it just tenderloin? - maybe steak?
I rarely come across dishes like this.
Can't believe I called this duck.
Oh gosh.
It's just…your personality… it's really different from my first impression of you.
Huh? What? Yeah.
- Well, I was frowning because of the sun… - Right sure.
Yeah.
And honestly, I felt a little awkward standing there alone.
Oh yeah. You came alone.
It was a mixture of the heat, the sun, and feeling a little bit confused.
But then…
- we kept making eye contact. - Yeah, you're right. We did.
Right? Yeah, so I chose you.
You flashed a smile every time our eyes met, and that really made an impression on
- me. - Oh, really?
Yeah.
- I think I chose well. - You think so?
Yeah.
Thank you.
So, how old are you?
- Me? - Yeah.
I'm twenty-eight.
- I see, hm you're twenty-eight. - Yeah.
Well…
- What about me? How old do you think I am? - You're probably younger.
But what would your guess be?
Twenty-five?
Well, I'm actually twenty-eight too.
I was sure I was older.
Yeah, I thought I'd be younger than you too.
So it sounds like…we're gonna be on a first-name basis.
Yeah.
I even imagined myself saying, "I can drop the honorifics with you, right?"
Me too.
But you're so calm and collected. You seem very mature.
- Yeah. - That's true.
That's the reason I thought you must be older than me.
Ah ok.
So now that we know we're the same age, wouldn't it be better to talk casually?
Shall we speak casually?
Sure.
Good.
- Thanks. - That'll probably
- change our whole dynamic. - Mm.
What do you do?
Do for…?
Well you know… I mean for work. Like, what is your job?
What do I do? Gosh.
Well…
I draw for a living.
I am an artist.
I have my own studio, and there,
I usually work on my pieces alone.
I am always thinking about how to exhibit my artwork in unique ways.
There are many types of art
such as three-dimensional art, installation art, plastic art,
but I mostly focus on two dimensional drawings.
I didn't study the arts. I've just been drawing for a long time.
I draw what I want.
YUK JUN-SEO 28 YEARS OLD, ARTIST
I can see that…I can picture you drawing.
- I work very hard. - I'm sure.
- Mr. Yuk Jun-seo the artist. - Yeah, I am.
- May I ask what you do for a living? - Me? Take a guess.
- I… - Why do you make me guess every time?
I'm curious… I want to hear your guess based on your first impression, because
- you don't know anything about me yet. - Right.
Well to be honest…I think you're an actress.
- If you can't tell, just… - An actress?
Yeah.
You should be an actress with those looks.
Really? That's such a nice compliment. Thanks.
For sure. That's a compliment.
Actually I…
dance.
- You dance? - Yeah.
Wow.
I graduated from the dance department at Ewha Womans University,
and I'm currently studying for a master's degree.
My major at the university is Korean traditional dance.
The course is divided into traditional and contemporary styles,
and I do both of them. I have also joined a dance company
and I teach dance as well.
I teach students ranging from children to adults.
I love teaching all kinds of dance to a wide variety of age groups.
CHUNG YOU-JIN 28 YEARS OLD, DANCER
I never would've imagined.
- It's surprising…really? - Yeah.
- Well, we're both in the arts… - I know. I'm so glad we met.
Mm.
I never have anything to say to business owners.
I mean, I do respect them so much, but I have nothing in common with them.
Nothing in common…
You know…
When I first saw you, you seemed like such a quiet person. I thought you'd be
- all, like, "Ah, ok." - Oh, really?
I expected you to be reserved like, "Well, yes. Right."
But you're so witty… and even pretty adorable, if I'm being honest.
- Oh my gosh. Stop. - That's not true.
Your personality just took me by surprise. And you look so pure when you
- smile. - Well, let's say that I am.
I mean it.
What're your hobbies?
- My hobbies? - Mm.
Looking at my niece's art.
- Aw, really? - That's one of the things I enjoy
most. But it's totally a one-sided kind of affection.
- One-sided? She doesn't appreciate it? - Yeah, she just kinda
pushes me away a bit.
- Oh, she does? - Why do women play games like that? How
am I even supposed to play along? What do you think I should do?
I just don't know.
Oh… so you never play games with women?
I don't understand that sort of thing.
No, not at all?
- Gosh, you're so funny. - Where can I get some tips?
Could I ask what type…
You're clearly straightforward. That's the sense I get.
Oh, really?
I meant to ask your type.
Mine?
I prefer… the straightforward type.
You do?
Then I'll keep being me.
He's cute.
Jun-seo has a tender side to him that's very unlike his appearance. I think it's
- really charming. - Yeah.
- He's certainly full of surprises. - It's true.
- He certainly is. - Yeah.
Even after asking her a question, he's too embarrassed to
look her in the eye.
He's too shy to come off as eloquent. I expected him to be a man of few words, but
he's actually conversing with her really well. Although, it might be because they
already have great rapport with each other because they have things in common.
Mm.
He's good at keeping the conversation going. She brings up the right
- conversation topics. But it feels like - Yeah, you're right.
Feels like what?
He takes the lead and she keeps the vibes going.
Let's go.
- I'm hungry. - Let's hurry up and eat.
- It looks so good. - Delicious.
Should we dig in?
- We should. - Right?
To start,
- you want some pasta? - Mm!
Or the salad…
Should we have that first?
- Let's start with the pasta. - Yeah, good idea.
Let me get you some more.
No, I'm…
- Want more? - Yes, please.
Okay.
You're keeping me busy.
- Bon appetit. - Enjoy.
Here you go.
- We're tired, huh? - We are.
So how old are you?
- Me? - Yeah.
- I'm thirty-three. - Oh, really?
And…
how old are you?
You look younger.
You look young.
Not true.
Me?
How old do I look?
You present yourself with a mature demeanor,
but I feel like you're actually really young.
I like that.
Maybe…
25?
You're a good guesser.
Thanks.
You can speak casually by the way.
Shall we talk casually?
- Or not? - Okay.
What do you do?
Guess that too.
Maybe…
a news anchor or something?
Am I wrong?
A news anchor? No, I'm not.
A model?
Correct.
- You're a model? - Mhmm.
I am a model.
I'm currently a commercial model for an athleisure brand.
I do various types of modeling like beauty brands, lookbook shoots and commercials.
It suits you.
And you, oppa?
Suddenly using honorifics?
I…
I run a food and beverage business.
Like coffee shops and bakeries.
I run coffee shops.
I am currently running five shops including
those in Seongsu and Hannam.
We roast our own coffee beans here and we are very passionate when it comes
to coffee.
I also do hands-on work like staff and facility
management and menu development.
KIM JEONG-SU, 33 YEARS OLD BAKERY CAFÉ OWNER
So, you're a business owner?
You are, that's cool!
- Very cool. - It's nothing.
How did you…
feel when I chose you?
I was so excited.
- You were? - Yeah.
When I saw you approaching… Well, my type is kind of like…
someone who has a kind face, kind of like a puppy.
Oh, yeah?
Well, it looked like you were… smiling,
and that made a really good first impression.
- I thought I was expressionless. - Not at all. You looked
like you'd be so nice.
- Really? - You made a great first impression.
You must've seen the other girls who were standing there too.
They didn't…
spark your interest?
I just saw this woman in a white dress.
She had the prettiest smile.
- She smiled, - Really?
And…
I only looked for a couple seconds,
Oh yeah?
Honestly.
I just trusted my instinct and went for it.
I'm blushing.
The conversation is flowing so naturally between these two.
They're not even trying to force it.
Right, it doesn't sound forced at all.
By the way, I couldn't see his face before because of his bangs, but after
having a closer look, I must say he's quite handsome.
Yeah.
- But you were fond of him from the start. - Oh, really?
- He was someone you mentioned. - You had him on your list.
Well, I think I was just more attracted to his voice back then.
You were drawn to his voice?
- You think he's got the looks too? - Yeah,
you can't get bored of a face like that.
Jeong-su has started to show…
his true self and his strengths.
So the women might really enjoy the time they get to spend with him.
Mm.
I personally could tell that Si-an was very into him.
- Yeah. - Well…
- That's right. - When she asked "What did you think
about the other women?" that question really struck me.
Yeah.
- It made me think she was into him. - She's fallen for him.
And Jeong-su seems rather collected. He's pretty calm.
He is.
PARADISE YUK JUN-SEO & CHUNG YOU-JIN
Wow.
- It's a private swimming pool. - Right, it feels private.
Wait.
- It's warm! - I know!
This feels so great.
It's really nice.
I'm surprised…it's warmer than I expected.
What the-?
You're dunking already?
You're putting your head in?
Well I was competing with the other men earlier today, and I was already fully
- submerged at one point. - I see.
Oh, okay.
I couldn't see anything. Nothing at all. Gosh.
Wow, that's hilarious.
- You did that? Seriously? - Yeah.
You're just like Aquaman.
You're so similar.
Are you gonna swim?
Yeah, come on.
Let's swim.
He's like this stylish, handsome-looking servant.
I just don't get why we former soldiers are so rough. Why are we so
- unsophisticated? - "Former soldiers"
Gosh, this feels so good.
What's happening tomorrow?
I have no idea…
It doesn't seem to be on your mind.
Tomorrow…
We might go back to Inferno to play a game.
Then someone else might get to come to Paradise.
Maybe.
I wonder what the game's gonna be?
I guess I'll have to fight this time.
I think the women will be competing tomorrow.
Makes sense.
The women…
I hope you do well so you can bring me here again.
- Okay sure. - Hey, I'll hold you to that.
Stop. You're too funny.
I'm counting on you.
- Oh you are. - Just playing.
This is fun.
Oh, that's where the leaves were falling from?
I've been wondering this whole time.
I had no idea they were falling from right above us. It's kinda romantic.
How that leaf fell just now.
It's like I'm swimming in sugar water.
- Sugar water? - It feels so sweet right now.
- So sweet. - Sweet?
- Is it? - Yeah.
It's so sweet.
- It feels good though. - You're hilarious.
Let's come here again.
Okay?
Next time.
Champagne?
Sure.
Let's enjoy.
Why don't we pop this first?
Sounds good.
I'll try to keep it quiet.
I'm a little scared.
Will it make a sound?
- Huh? - Will it be loud?
No.
He might be good at this.
It's successful if it makes a fizzy sound.
Oh, really?
- How about that? - Just like that?
- I did well, huh? - Wow.
You're good.
- He succeeded. - He did it so smoothly. He
must've done this before.
- So he's done it a lot. - Geez, how many bottles has he opened?
- It's not an easy task. - He's experienced.
Cheers.
- To what? - I don't know.
What should we toast to?
To the first night in Paradise…
Wait, did you drink?
No, not yet.
To the first night in Paradise.
Cheers.
That's good.
You like it?
It's delicious.
Don't you think we're a lot more comfortable now than earlier?
- We are. - Right?
- We finally built some sort of connection, - Yeah, I know, exactly.
Then we have to leave after one night.
And you are?
- We'll be strangers again, like, "Hello." - But I think it will…
It'll feel a little weird in a good way,
when I get to see you again with all the others.
Yeah.
I feel like I'll root for you to come in first place and be the best at everything
- because we built this connection. - You're hoping I'm the best?
That's a lot of weight on my shoulders…
I'm already tired from carrying that bag earlier.
Gosh.
That's just how I feel.
I'll try my best.
I have to say… you looked really cool when you
made that first appearance.
You looked pretty too.
Gosh, I'm choking.
Some fries will help.
This is fun.
Face masks?
Sure.
- You brought some with you? - Yeah.
Can you help?
You want me to?
Sure. Give it to me.
It's too early.
Face me.
It fits perfectly.
Good job.
I don't think I'm good at this.
You don't?
Oh, geez.
- Are you doing this on purpose? - No.
To tease me.
Done.
All good?
Hold on.
Good night.
Perfect.
Isn't it cold?
Hm?
- I'll turn the heat up. - Okay.
My legs are hanging off a bit, but it's okay.
Just sleep on the bed.
No.
- You'll sleep better though. - I like it here.
Isn't it uncomfortable? What if you fall in your sleep?
What?
It's perfect here.
I mean…
there's so much space on the bed.
Look, your feet are hanging off.
- You asleep? - No.
It's our first night.
My first night in Paradise. All thanks to you.
I mean it.
The tone of his voice, the way he's breathing, everything's…
- He's so calm. - He seems so at ease.
Yeah, he does.
I'm sure he's feeling awkward, but he doesn't seem flustered at all.
Si-an seems to have completely fallen for Jeong-su.
Yeah.
She's already wrapped around his finger without her even realizing it.
- Yeah, I agree. - Yeah.
But she probably feels like she has to be careful being with someone that smooth.
- No, that's not it. - He's too experienced?
Oh.
He doesn't even make you feel that he's experienced. We can grasp that from here,
but he's giving off a very genuine vibe to the person he's actually with in
that moment.
I've become a bit curious about Jeong-su. His conversations with Si-an
have a natural flow to them and have been going very smoothly.
Right.
But I didn't sense any butterflies between them, or anything like that.
True.
I could see it in Si-an.
But I wonder if Jeong-su would act noticeably
different in front of someone he really likes.
He might even get awkward and clumsy around someone he's more interested in.
- That would be a pleasant surprise. - He might act differently.
Yeah.
But so far,
his emotional state hasn't really changed at all during their first night
in Paradise.
So, I can't be sure yet if he has feelings for her or not.
- Yeah. - This is what men in
their thirties are like now.
Huh?
They're all just like him.
- What are they like? - Aside from their good looks, they
don't fall for people right away.
You never see them go,
"I like you so much," or "I'm really into you." They want to get to know
their personality no matter how pretty they are.
Maybe he's calm at first and eventually becomes passionate.
I'm thinking that might be the case.
MEN'S INFERNO
Anyone could tell this was cooked by a man.
This dinner is so basic.
There's just guys there?
You're right.
This is nothing like what I imagined.
I guess it's a guy's night.
- What? - Oh?
- A woman is here. - Isn't that a woman?
Who's that?
- Who is it? - Who could it be?
- She's raiding them at night? - Is that Min-seol?
