FRANKLY SPEAKING
You know, I'm hurt.
I mean, I get it.
But you, Ms. On, you really hurt me.
But you know what?
I can't quite figure out why I'm hurt.
What was the potential you saw in me?
What was it that you saw in me?
My heart fluttered.
She basically confessed her feelings.
How did that make you feel?
I…
And right now…
My heart is fluttering.
When people are anxious due to a rush of adrenaline,
they often act and speak impulsively.
But those feelings
are only true for a moment.
Even if it's just for a moment, they're still real feelings.
Don't say anything.
I'm sorry, Ki-baek. I made a mistake.
You got lost in the woods,
and Yu-yeong hugged you the moment you showed up.
That's proof her feelings are genuine.
By the way,
why do you keep smiling?
EPISODE 6
Oh, Jeong-heon, look.
Hey, Woo-ju. Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Ki-baek!
You're not hurt, are you?
I was worried sick.
-On Woo-ju. -Hey.
-What happened to your leg? -I twisted my ankle.
Why did you storm off like that?
Get this on camera.
But we'll have to cut out the whole horror game.
She's confessing. It's a great scene. We should film it even if we can't use it.
What is it?
You're alive, so it's all good.
-Woo-ju! -Woo-ju!
-Woo-ju. -Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
-I'm sorry. I should've gone with you. -I'm okay.
-I'm fine. -Are you hurt?
I'm sorry I worried you guys.
I'm really okay. Let's head down.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
You must be tired.
-I'll carry you. -No, stop it. I'm good.
Oh, okay.
-Come on. -Let's go.
-Are you okay? -Yeah. Thanks.
HEAVEN HOUSE
So you tumbled down the hill.
Yes.
That was a close call.
Yes.
Woo-ju gets easily scared.
Yes.
Thanks for coming back safely.
She was like that before too.
She didn't like to be alone in the dark.
I'm going to go and get some fresh air.
Good night.
That was childish as hell.
Happy birthday.
Happy-- Happy birthday.
KIM JEONG-HEON - SONG KI-BAEK
Man, why did it have to…
KI-BAEK
No.
Of course not.
You scared me.
Well, I couldn't sleep.
Here.
So you're okay?
You seemed uncomfortable earlier.
-Try doing this with your ankle. -I'm really okay. Totally fine.
Right.
I wish I hadn't dated you back then.
If I dated you now, I'd be a cooler boyfriend.
I was a loser when I was with you, you know.
Now, I'm totally--
I'm like--
They call me the ideal son-in-law, you know.
-Did you just laugh? -Yeah, I did.
Hey, you're still up.
I wonder if we could play a game with this.
Let's see.
Is this going to be too hard?
What are you doing?
I just got an idea.
You can go ahead.
Don't stay out too late.
Breakfast in Heaven.
Make breakfast for the person on your mind right now.
All the pairs who choose each other will have a breakfast date
and get the last hint on what the guys have in common.
Can I order delivery?
What do you think?
-What? -We've got a professional chef here.
Isn't it a little unfair?
This is not a cooking show.
All that matters is that your food comes from the heart. Don't worry.
What should I make?
-What will you make? -I don't know about this.
-But I can't cook. -Can I just use a meal kit or something?
Well, this is going to be fun.
-I didn't think I'd be cooking here. -You should only use one hand.
Are you carving it?
It looks good.
Okay, good.
Don't be so nervous.
This isn't about cooking. It's about dating.
Just think about the person you're cooking for. Nothing else.
The person I'm cooking for.
What kind of food do you like, Ha-young?
What? Why would you ask what I like?
You know, there might be some food that you crave when you're tired at work.
I never have an appetite at work.
Even when you see all this food?
Eating props brings three years of bad luck.
I see. You're cranky because you're hungry.
I'm not cranky.
I'm trying to stay on my toes because Woo-ju is soft,
and she always goes so easy on people.
It looks like you.
Here.
It looks like you.
They're not props.
Thanks.
Anyway, just try your best.
Why did he put a trotter in the middle?
It's like he buried it in a grave.
I've never seen plating like it.
Would you like to have breakfast with me?
Yes, I'd love to.
Would you like to join me?
Come on.
Would you like to have breakfast with me?
Yes.
What?
I'd love to.
Ki-baek isn't exactly my type, to be honest.
Sorry?
I don't know if it's because he's honest or just insensitive,
but he's the type to embarrass people with his words, which is the worst.
Then why…
It looked like things were going well between you and Jeong-heon,
so why did you have breakfast with Ki-baek today?
Because sometimes I can see that he's being genuine.
And somehow, the things he does do it for me.
Oh, my God!
Why didn't you tell me sooner? That's mean.
It must've been caught on camera.
Here.
Those are fixed cameras, so they probably didn't catch it.
It's just some gunk.
Remove it now.
There's nothing cool about him,
but he's different from the others.
You're right.
Here.
This is amazing.
You like it?
Ki-baek?
Yes.
Aren't you going to eat?
I'm happy to just see you enjoying it.
It's delicious.
You're right.
Help yourself.
This is the hint?
What does it mean?
Oh, there's another hint they only gave to the girls yesterday.
I'll tell you.
Suzy.
Someone got the right answer.
So what's the answer?
She said someone got it but not what it is.
Are we supposed to just stand here like this?
What?
No way.
You're kidding.
-One of them mentioned her. -Right?
What's going on? Who is she?
My first love.
Cho-hui.
We first met like it was
A coincidental joke And we talked
Your words captured…
Happy birthday.
Happy-- Happy birthday.
Whoa.
Thank you.
It's so pretty.
Everyone, please welcome Ms. Min Cho-hui,
the first love of all our male contestants.
With your love stories from the past and present in the mix,
which path will your heart follow?
Couple's Paradise, the First Love. The second chapter begins now.
Hello, I'm Min Cho-hui.
Bringing their first love as the new girl seems a bit unfair.
Guys get a little sentimental when it comes to their first love, you know.
Still, it's all in the past.
Nothing is different except she's gotten old.
What's important is the present.
I said whoever guesses what the guys have in common will be given an advantage.
The advantage is to have the first date with your first love.
And the winner of the date is…
I shouldn't have told him about Suzy.
This sucks.
First love?
Someone got the right answer.
All right, let's take a short break.
After the break, Jeong-heon and Cho-hui will have their special date.
-Okay, thank you. -Help me move this!
Hey, Cho-hui.
I never saw this coming.
I never thought I'd see you here.
Right?
Do you remember that bar we used to hang out at near our school?
I went there just last week.
The scribbles we left on the wall are still there.
Wait, didn't you say you don't drink beer? You insisted on having whiskey last night.
Now I know why I wanted to make braised mussels this morning.
Cho-hui, do you remember?
You said it always helped when you caught a cold.
So did you know about this whole setup?
Yes.
I think it's really cool.
Someone as timid as me would never have the nerve to do this.
You must be really open-minded.
Oh, did she used to live abroad?
Yes, with me.
I'm going to go use the bathroom.
Right.
The bathroom is this way. I can show you the way.
No, I can find it on my own.
Cho-hui.
Hey.
Are you all right?
Yes.
To be honest, I'm a little nervous.
I'm nervous.
There are a lot of cameras and people.
And everyone seems to get along like a team, except you.
Exactly. How did you know?
It's the same for me.
Oh, I see.
I knew you had your ambitions, but this is a surprise.
Come on. I've got a date with Cho-hui.
Before the special date,
we have a special offer for Cho-hui, who has just joined us.
If you want, you can invite someone else to your date.
There can be a third person.
Ki-baek, do you want to join us?
You were right. The new girl is certainly a pot stirrer.
And your decision to let her choose…
No. It's very good.
This is going to be a game changer.
Everyone's first love has shown up.
It's going to shake things up like crazy.
Oh, Yeon.
Back there.
I'll get it.
-I'm okay. It's heavy. -I got it.
Goodness. Wow.
How are you doing?
If the work is too much, just let me know, okay?
There's a lot for me to do here.
Moving stuff, taking care of my brother,
and taking care of you.
Well…
I'm sorry.
I understand.
I guess you found Cho-hui in my notebook,
connected the dots to Jeong-heon,
and learned about the other guys through her.
And that must have given you the idea for the show.
You're not mad at me?
I gave you that notebook to read.
I can't say that I wasn't surprised,
but I'm the one who gave it to you, so of course, I understand.
I'm sorry. I'll leave you guys to talk.
Thank you.
Thank you for earlier.
You really helped me relax.
Feeling better now?
Actually,
it wasn't easy for me to decide to come on the show.
But this is just as hard as I thought.
I feel like I'm bothering you all by showing up here, complicating things.
I want to do well since I'm already here, but…
But you don't really know what to do, right?
Exactly.
But one of the reasons why I decided to do this…
was because I missed you, Ki-baek.
They say you don't forget your first love but bury it in your heart.
So you can always dig it back up again.
He and his friend like the same girl.
It's Seong-bin, right? The kid who gets stocks for New Year's?
Why are you so immature?
If Ms. Na tells my mom, she'll be upset.
Gu-won told Seong-bin his secret, but he told everyone about it.
It's not my secret!
I've never told that to anyone but you!
And it wasn't because I wanted your pity or help!
Why are you so twisted?
That's it.
What the hell do you know about me?
What are you guys doing?
Two guys liking the same girl. How's that a secret?
Oh, dear. It's okay.
Hey!
Gu-won, you know what?
Ki-baek used to write in his journal every night
about his first love or something too.
Don't you remember?
I think it was his senior year, on the birthday of the girl he liked.
That's right.
It was his senior year.
He had a huge fight with his friend, and you were totally flabbergasted.
-You remember, right? -Exactly.
He had never in his life caused trouble like that.
It's the good kids who cause big trouble, Mom.
For goodness' sake.
That's your brother you're talking about.
Go on and eat.
You're right.
It was that one time
when Ki-baek…
bared his soul.
Mr. Song.
Why do you think it's all your fault?
What are you two whispering about?
I think it's a secret.
Wow, you look beautiful.
You look gorgeous.
Enjoy your food, guys.
Gu-won, don't miss the academy bus.
-Okay. -And turn off the lights when you leave.
Yes, don't worry.
All right, see you later. She's glowing.
Perfect.
Remember these?
Schisandra flowers.
In early summer,
they grew against the wall outside your house.
In the language of flowers…
they mean, "Let's meet again."
Did you know that Cho-hui was coming here?
Does it even matter?
Hello, Jeong-heon.
My daughter's a fan. Could she get a picture with you?
-Yes, of course. -Thank you.
Jeong-heon is really popular.
Right?
I haven't been to an amusement park in ages.
Really?
Today, I wish I were in your shoes, man.
This is supposed to be a date but it seems impossible.
Ki-baek, are you going to be okay?
You got scared during the horror game and fell over.
Oh, if Ki-baek can't go on the rides, I'm fine just watching.
I tripped, okay?
Scared? Oh, please.
Who's scared? What's there to be scared of?
Song Ki-baek!
Mr. Nostrils.
Come on, let's go on a scary ride.
Isn't this a scary one?
I've got you. Don't worry. It's okay.
Worry about yourself or you'll bounce like popcorn.
Popcorn?
-Cho-hui, hold on tight. -Okay.
You've set up cameras on it, right?
Yes.
It'd look better with more people on the ride,
so the writers should go on it too.
Let's do that.
Including you.
What?
Why are you doing this to me?
Come on, you're the head writer.
You've got to teach them how to be funny on variety shows.
But…
-Guys, let's all sit over here. -Okay.
All right, today's a special day. Who's ready to kick it up a notch?
Let's make it thrilling. Let's go.
-Cho-hui, are you okay? -Yes.
For God's sake.
It's moving. It's fast.
What makes someone everyone's ideal son-in-law?
Strength. Let's see how strong they are. Pang!
Let go of the railing.
Hold on tight!
Just follow your body, follow your heart. Pang, pang!
God.
Now, we've got the show's head writer. Let's see how strong she is. Pang!
Ms. On!
What are you doing? Let go of me!
I got you.
Let go of me!
I got you. Don't worry.
Just hang on. Try to-- No, stop.
Ms. On!
We'll just have them go on the ride again.
-Ms. On! -Man…
Let's take a short break.
You can go grab some coffee if you want but don't go too far.
-Okay. Coffee? Sounds good. -Cool.
Guys, gather around.
Let's have a talk.
I-na, go with the cast members.
Okay. They have coffee over there.
-Can I put my arm around you? -What are you doing?
-Take a picture. -Nice. Give a thumbs-up.
Wow, that's great. That's it.
He was bragging about how popular he is, and he got what he asked for.
Serves you right, you jerk.
Are you guys all friends?
Wow! I've never met a celebrity. Is she your girlfriend?
She's a celebrity too.
-Oh! -Hey, she's a celebrity!
-I'll get a picture. -She's pretty.
Go get some people.
-Oh, okay. -Go with her.
Take a nice one.
Get in there. All together.
-All of you. -Let's take some pics.
Come on. One, two, three.
-Four, five. Nice. -Really?
It looks awesome with the Ferris wheel.
It looks great!
You guys have fun.
Hey, bro!
Buy us some coffee.
-You nutjob. What are you, a thug? -What?
-Ask him to send you a gift card. -Come on. You're loaded.
You should thank us for that.
-Cut it out. You're acting like a psycho! -Are these designer clothes?
You're right! They're designer…
Jeong-heon! Kim Jeong-heon!
Who's he?
Everyone's ideal son-in-law or everyone's doormat?
Hey.
Just go over there.
You see him on TV, and you think he's your friend?
But he doesn't know you.
You came here to have fun wearing nice clothes and shoes,
so just do what you came for.
Look, mister. Who are you to lecture us?
Wait, babe. He's that guy.
From that YouTube video. You know, up his nose--
-That dude whose face got-- -The one with the nostrils.
-You're right! -It's him!
That guy?
I can't believe these kids.
What? What are you going to do?
I'll teach you a lesson.
-You nutjob. -Mister.
Mind your own damn business and just keep walking.
Go straight that way. Yes.
Why?
Why "bro" for him but "mister" for me?
Why call him "bro" and me "mister" in front of all these people?
-Everyone's taking our picture. Let's go. -Do something.
Hey, why are you filming us without permission?
We have-- What's it called?
We have portrait rules, okay?
-We have portrait rules! -Stop!
It's portrait rights, guys.
It's portrait rights, not portrait rules!
I've had enough of this guy.
Who cares if it's portrait rules or portrait rights?
Who cares?
I'm sorry.
-What? -What?
In a situation like this, you say "I'm sorry" and leave.
You know you've done something wrong.
And you people. Are you just going to keep filming?
What are you going to do with the footage?
Are you going to put it on the Internet, find out who they are and punish them?
Is that the right way to educate them?
Isn't it your responsibility as adults
to give them guidance before they stray further--
-What are you doing? -Just come.
Hey.
Hey, put me down.
Put me down now!
Just stay still before I knock you out.
-Please delete the photos. -Are you okay?
-I'm sorry. No pictures, please. -Thank you.
-All right, come on. -Thank you.
Could you delete the photos?
-I'm really sorry. -I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
I got slapped in the face once
for not smiling for a picture.
This is not a big deal.
If you're having a hard time, talk to someone.
Anyone.
You can talk to me too.
It's nothing.
Where's Ki-baek?
You should've stayed out of it. Didn't you know you'd cause trouble?
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
I never meant to cause problems for the show.
You can't make a scene like that without thinking about the consequences.
Just go ahead and say it.
If you consider consequences,
how could you use someone's personal, private memories for your TV show?
Did you think about how much it would hurt and shock me?
But you said you understood.
I feel betrayed, like I can't trust anyone in the world.
It hurts. I'm hurt.
I'm sorry.
I did think you might feel betrayed.
I deserve to be called selfish, but what I saw in that notebook was--
But…
I'm trying to understand you…
because I was the one who gave you my notebook.
Besides, I know you didn't mean any harm…
given the reason why
you brought me here.
I'm doing all sorts of things that'll make people hate me,
but I'm still going to do my best
to not be the worst guy.
I'll try.
WAITING ROOM TICKETS
I guess that's the character he's going with.
He made a mess, but I'm sure our bosses will clean it up.
From today, Ki-baek is my favorite.
Maybe it's because he's an announcer. He's so logical even when he lashes out.
It felt so cathartic hearing him talk earlier.
I'm totally charmed.
-Already? -Isn't he charming?
People do like someone outspoken these days.
Like my Ki-baek.
He's cool.
-He's cool. -So charming.
He's totally my type.
By the way, don't you think Ki-baek is kind of cute?
I find him adorable when he gets all flustered.
Oh, is he not like that with you yet?
I guess things are still awkward between you two.
You're his first love, but it's been decades.
-Someone's calling you. -Sorry?
Your phone.
Oh, it's fine.
Can I drop the formalities and call you Cho-hui?
Did you say you were 37?
Was it 38?
You're the same age as Ki-baek.
So you're 33, right?
Yes.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-By the way, are you guys okay? -Heard you got into a fight at the park.
I lost my temper and made a scene.
Thank you for your concern, and I'm sorry.
Well, it's all settled, and Ki-baek did nothing wrong.
Actually, people are saying Ki-baek was super cool.
I-na did my interview earlier, and she went on and on about Ki-baek.
It's like she wanted to be in the show.
I heard it was pretty rough on you, Jeong-heon. Are you all right?
Oh, yes. I'm fine.
You guys went to the same school, right?
Ki-baek helped Jeong-heon big time today.
Thanks, Ki-baek.
Still, it must've been nice. I wanted a date at an amusement park.
Now I feel bad.
Still, I'm happy we have another girl.
I have a roommate now.
Cho-hui, this is really good. Try it.
Oh, thank you.
My ankle still hurts.
I hurt it during the horror game yesterday.
It was your right ankle.
Hey, can I see you for a second?
-Why? -Come on.
What is it?
She's funny.
I think she did it on purpose.
Talking about an incident between us that you don't know about.
It's childish but effective.
Is it?
-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday, dear Cho-hui -Happy birthday, dear Cho-hui
-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you
I just put 30 candles on the cake.
I wanted to go with three, but she stuck them all in.
Man, if we weren't out here on an island, I would've gotten--
Hey, look at the flames.
Blow them out.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Hi, Mom.
You haven't returned any of my calls all day.
I've been busy. You know I'm at work.
Did your date go well?
No, because I was worried about my daughter.
Why work so hard you can't even have seaweed soup on your birthday?
I bet you're stuck in the countryside, running around like a headless chicken,
not even having time to shower.
I'm the head writer, Mom.
All I do now is give orders.
I am celebrating my birthday here,
so you can enjoy the seaweed soup. You worked hard to raise me.
I made it with a ton of top-quality beef.
I'll save you some. Good luck with your work.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Thanks.
Chug it!
-Chug, come on. -I'll do it.
-Chug it! -Chug it!
That's enough.
-Cho-hui, are you okay? -We'll wrap it up here, guys.
-We'll do the individual interviews later. -Okay.
-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday, dear Woo-ju -Happy birthday
We got you a cake.
Happy birthday to you
Blow them out.
-Thank you. -Happy birthday.
Pretty. Blow out the candles.
Okay.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOO-JU
Happy birthday, Ms. On.
I didn't know.
Thank you.
God, I'm sorry, Woo-ju.
I feel terrible. That's supposed to be our job.
Hey, who celebrates birthdays on set?
Oh, happy birthday.
My team is good at their jobs.
Woo-ju, please kill me.
I cannot believe I forgot your birthday.
Stop it. Since when do we celebrate birthdays?
-Woo-ju, happy birthday. -Thanks.
Happy birthday, Ms. On.
Happy birthday.
A birthday party while we're busy? Can't they do it later?
We've got equipment to disassemble.
Oh, you know what?
I'm just really tired. Let's call it a night here, shall we?
-You should go rest. Good night. -Let's go.
-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.
Thanks. Go on, guys. I'll just clean up here a little.
Good night.
Min-gu.
Come on, Min-gu.
Hey, I-na.
You met your first love again today.
Did your feelings change?
You're mad, aren't you?
I may not know much about other stuff, but I can tell when you're mad.
You met your first love again today.
Did your feelings change?
Yes.
I keep liking her more and more.
A lot more than I used to.
What made you feel that way?
Because I can now do all the things I couldn't do for her before.
I've never been able to celebrate her birthday, but now I can.
I made some mistakes in the past, and I didn't express my feelings.
Maybe I can express them now.
Your mistakes. Your feelings.
When you're in a relationship, there are times
when it should be about them, not you.
I'm sure you know that,
but I'm saying this, hoping that things will go well between you and Cho-hui.
You're still up.
The others went out to play with some fireworks.
Right. I can't sleep. I've got a lot on my mind.
Earlier at the amusement park,
I was a bit surprised.
You seem to have changed a lot.
You're right.
Have I changed a lot too?
No.
To me, you're still the Min Cho-hui I knew from Minseong High School.
It's true.
Can I…
ask about your feelings?
Is there anyone that…
you like here?
There is.
Is there a chance that it's me?
No.
Sorry.
But it's not you.
Right.
I'm sure a lot of things happened before I came here.
As expected, this is hard.
Yes, a lot of things happened.
So many things happened.
Still, you can't be sure your feelings will stay the same tomorrow.
I mean, feelings can change many times even in a day, right?
Right. That's the problem.
You want to understand, but you can't.
You decide not to tell anyone, but then you want to.
You know it's better not to do anything, but it's all you want to do.
That's the problem.
Yes.
That's why I hope you and I can be honest with each other while we're here--
I should just be honest.
What?
Humans are complex beings, you know.
Thanks, Cho-hui.
I've got to go.
Get a good night's sleep. The schedule is crazy here.
Forget all the dating shows you watched for reference.
Is something the matter?
I…
will not confess my feelings.
What?
In disaster movies,
those who survive in the end always think they love each other and kiss.
I've never thought that was real love.
That's just camaraderie from surviving a crisis together.
I thought that's what you and I had.
It is. That's what we have.
No, it's not. I don't want to survive a life-or-death crisis with you.
Because I don't want you to be in danger or to see you suffer.
But I don't want you to avoid me with that look on your face.
That's why
I'm not going to confess.
The rule of this show is to date in front of the cameras,
and I won't break it.
All right.
But,
there's something I want to do instead.
What's that?
-Celebrate your birthday. -What?
You're so unpredictable, Ki-baek.
All right. Let's celebrate.
-Hold this. -What?
You remembered.
Spicy food is the best kind of food there is.
You're just being tricked.
By who?
By trotters?
Spiciness is a kind of pain sensation,
so when you eat spicy food,
the brain perceives it as pain and releases hormones like endorphins.
So, spicy food improves your mood?
No, you're being tricked.
So what if it's a trick?
You can think your brain is working hard to make you feel better.
If you're going to lecture me, put it back in here. Just don't eat it.
I wasn't refusing to eat it, just sharing what I knew.
Why tell me not to eat?
This is exactly what I wanted. How did you know?
"When life throws too much spice at you, don't back down.
You should be just as spicy."
You eat spicy food when you're stressed out.
You've looked stressed the whole time here.
I brought this too.
You brought a lot of things.
Wow.
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Woo-ju Happy birthday to you
Blow it out.
Come on, harder.
Applause.
Try it.
You've got to taste this.
It's good, right?
I can't really eat spicy food.
Wow, it's really good.
That's pretty.
Yes, pretty.
Thank you.
For not confessing your feelings.
And for celebrating my birthday.
Woo-ju.
Yes?
We've got a serious problem.
What is it?
There has been a big change since last night.
One of the contestants has left the show.
That stupid girl thought she was so clever.
Ki-baek.
What?
Woo-ju and I used to date.
Does that matter at this point?
Yes.
It will.
So we came up with an alternative for everyone.
Please welcome our new member to the group.
Hello, I'm the new contestant
On Woo-ju.
FRANKLY SPEAKING
She couldn't look more awkward, being painfully conscious of the cameras.
Min-gu, don't forget to replace the tissues. Oops.
You'll play a game to decide your partners.
It's delicious.
You know that Ki-baek is on a date with Cho-hui, right?
Why did you break up with Woo-ju?
Wait!
Can I call you when we get back to Seoul?
Please understand how I feel.
-I'm sorry about that. -I know I may have disappointed you.
I'm sorry.
Couple's Paradise, the First Love. You will now make your final decision.
