[Oh! Youngsim]
He came exactly on time.
You should tell him to hurry up and come in.
Why isn't he coming up?
He's coming from the elevator, not that way.
Hello.
♫ You've done great so far ♫
♫ I'll carry the burden on your shoulders with you from now ♫
♫ The countless mountains you overcame prove you've been doing great ♫
Hello. I'm Kingvely's CEO, Mark...
Wang Kyung Tae.
♫ You have the right to do that ♫
♫ You can bury your face in your sleeves and cry all you want ♫
♫ When things don't go as you wish and when you want to fall to the ground ♫
♫ Try screaming out until you feel better ♫
♫ To yourself from yesterday, who must have gone through a lot ♫
[Episode 2: Grudges deeper than memories]
Mark is the Wang Kyung Tae I know?
No way. They must share the same name.
He's handsome like that...
and most of all, there's no way he turned out that successful.
He founded Kingvely?
The snot-faced midget did?
Is he really the Kingvely guy?
Daebak, he's handsome.
He's really handsome.
Hello.
Yes!
He's that Wang Kyung Tae, right?
Why didn't you tell me? Is this a friend special?
Does he look like Wang Kyung Tae to you, too?
He became cool enough to blow his past away...
but Wang Kyung Tae isn't a common name.
And most of all, he still has some of his old face.
Kingvely is...
Wang Kyung Tae, you say?
- Let's go up to him and ask. - No!
What if he turns out to be the real Wang Kyung Tae?
It'll become super interesting, then.
- Let's confirm it. - No, stop-
Goo Wol Suk?
- We need to mic you up. Please come. - Yes, sure.
All right? Make sure to ask him.
Ask him what?
Could you...
happen to...
be W-Wang...
I can't hear you well.
You're Wang Kyung Tae, right?
My name is indeed Wang Kyung Tae.
Do you know me, PD Oh Young Shim?
CEO Wang, please take a seat over there.
What in the world...
He's really Wang Kyung Tae, though.
I think he is Wang Kyung Tae.
Sunbae, S-Sunbae! Big trouble!
- We're in deep trouble! - Wh-Why? Why?
The second female participant, Kim Gyu Ri!
She got into a car accident and is on the way to the hospital right now.
A car accident?
Hey! I mean...
I-Is she okay?
Yes, well. She did call personally in the ambulance just now.
But I don't think she can come to the shoot.
Gosh, this is really bad.
We need to go into shoot soon, Sunbaenim.
It's not like we can cast a participant right now.
- G-Go and contact the backup list. - Y-Yes, I'll give them a call.
I knew I felt nervous about something.
Hello.
Hey.
You have time for this?
What brings you here?
I was on the way to visit Hee Jin and
stopped by to see if Kingvely really came.
Aigoo, geez.
Hey, what are the requirements for participation?
Yes. Any unmarried Korean adults in their 20s and 30s in good health.
Hey, w-wait.
Come on!
- Is show business a joke to you? - Right?
Me?
No.
Me?
No, no.
Okay!
I'll give it a go! How bad can it be?
Come on. I can do it, too!
Really? Will you be okay?
You have to be a Korean adult in good health and have a lot of charms...
Although you lack the charms, you've got the skills and cheats, right?
Of course. I'm known for my charms.
For now, I'll do my best!
Get yourself together. All right, check the situation first.
I'll go get makeup first.
- Makeup Team! - Hurry! Hurry!
Hey, Chae Dong, are we good to go?
- Wait, Sunbae. - Wh-What's up?
Why?
Gosh, I look funny, right?
- Nope. - Am I okay?
Hold onto this for now.
- We're done setting up, right? I'm going up. - Yes.
- Yes, yes! - We need to start now!
Hey, let's go if we're all ready!
Good to go.
All right. We're going into shoot now!
Ready! Cue!
"Love Lines" is easy and simple.
Kingvely's AI will create the matching orders, and
old-school retro themes for each date.
With one day as the limit...
after going on a date with each participant,
the final selections will take place.
First off, prior to introductions,
shall we check your feelings based only on first impressions of each other?
That's right. No need to get nervous from the beginning.
I give pretty good first impressions.
[First Impressions Voting Results]
Here are the results from First Impressions Voting.
[Goo Wol Suk: two votes]
[Kim Jung Jin: one vote]
[Oh Young Shim: zero votes]
[Wang Kyung Tae: one vote]
[Lee Sam Doo: one vote, Yoo Ho Jae: one vote]
Are you done checking the results?
The first date from Kingvely's match will begin.
[The first date will begin.]
[Sam Doo: personal trainer, Young Shim: PD] [Sam Doo ♥ Young Shim: Tteokbokki Date]
How long does it take to prepare for stuff like a body profile?
Would I be able to get an S-line like a model?
If you're a PD...
it means you're busy.
Just be content with how you look.
Be content?
Be content, you said?
Is being a ripped and popular personal trainer a trophy?
Excuse me!
He's got shitty manners and is so particular!
You can't! Calm down.
Do I have to bring that out?
Yes?
You've got something to say?
It's not that.
Do you...
happen to know Oh Young Shim?
Young Shim.
Young Shim?
What the heck is that? Is that a person's name?
You don't know Young Shim?
I don't.
- You never heard the Young Shim song? - Never.
There's no way you don't know the Young Shim song.
♫ One means one, not two ♫
♫ Two means two, not three ♫
- What's the matter? - ♫ Three means three ♫
- P-Please sit down. - ♫ It doesn't mean four ♫
People are looking! Please sit down.
You can sing all day, but I won't have any idea.
What?
There's no way you wouldn't know. Listen carefully.
♫ Five means five, it doesn't mean six ♫
Please. Please sit down.
- W-Wait- - Aigoo.
You're being inconsiderate.
Although I talk like this, I have lived abroad for a long time, since I was young
and didn't even watch TV.
Even people in the U.S. know Young Shim, though.
Aigoo. I don't know what it is.
Did it lose a lot of recognition?
Do we have enough screen time?
We didn't get any for the guy.
You need to keep going.
There's not enough?
Hey, when is this going to end?
[Spicy Challenge for Couples: Eat level five spicy in five minutes! All menus are free for a month if you succeed!]
Whoa! That thing!
Th-that thing over there.
Why don't we give that a try?
If we eat spicy food in five minutes, we'll be eating for free!
Let's try that out!
Why do such an idiotic thing?
Gosh, it sounds fun! Let's try.
In tteokbokki, the chili paste is carbs, and the flour is carbs.
It's got tons of sugar and calories.
Excuse me! Over here! We're going to challenge level five spicy!
You can go ahead if you wish.
How much time do we have left?
It's about time.
What? No way.
Please just eat one egg for me.
I'll eat the whites only.
The yoke has too much fat. Geez...
It's delicious, at least.
Whoa...
Over here! I finished it!
Y-You win.
You're the first person to win the event.
You can eat the entire menu for free for a month.
[Kyung Tae ♥ Jung Jin: Kingvely Tour Date]
[Kyung Tae: Startup CEO, Jung Jin: Model] CEO Wang, what's your definition of fashion?
I think fashion is a weapon that increases
you value as a person, not simply clothing.
I think so, too.
By the way, how did you happen to start Kingvely?
I got interested in neuroscience while suffering from nightmares
every night due to a certain incident when I was young.
Naturally, I ended up studying AI in college.
What's the childhood incident you mentioned?
As for that...
I can't tell you that in detail. But I wanted to use deep learning, which I majored in
to help find your style without wasting time and efficiently.
I worked day and night since the beginning of the venture to build data
that could be the Bible of fashion.
And I got a big investment in fashion AI for everyone
and started Kingvely.
I see.
Oh, you've got a catering service, too.
Is it because it's Kingvely? The employee amenities are great.
Today's menu is the nostalgic king pork cutlet, made with a black pig that was only fed
field grass and garlic, antibiotics free.
Of all things...
I want to eat a pork cutlet.
If you want to, then I want to as well.
[Mixed Pork Cutlet: 3,500 won*] (Item on sale)
The mixed pork cutlet is the only menu on sale.
One mixed pork cutlet, please.
Here's your mixed pork cutlet.
I can't eat spicy food.
I'm the same.
What kind of a man can't even eat spicy food?
What are you even good at?
I can eat it.
I can do it.
Please give it a taste.
My company boasts the nostalgic king pork cutlet made with a black pig.
Is it hard to cut?
- Yes. - In that case...
I'll cut it for you.
Aigoo.
This little guy...
Aigoo.
[Ho Jae ♥ Young Shim: Pedalboat Date]
All right, we're going to shoot now.
Sang Eun, you prepped everything properly, right?
Yes, I did.
- Safety is our top priority, so watch out for that. - Yes.
All right. Let's go.
Chae Dong, shoot from afar, so it looks nice.
Whoa...
[Ho Jae: Writer] I haven't been on a pedalboat in 20 years.
They've even got motored pedalboats now.
Me, too.
To be hanging out on a boat on a weekday in Han River...
Don't you think this is what happiness is?
Young Shim...
- Yes. - What do you think happiness is?
Sorry?
- Happiness? - Yes, happiness.
The topic I always want to question
is happiness, which is what I did in my first short story.
You've read my work, right?
Yes...
Right, they said Ho Jae is a writer, right?
I didn't get to read any of it. What do I do?
[Sunbae, reaction!]
[Hurry up!]
Young Shim?
Yes?
Right, this thing called happiness is...
Ah, well... Y-Yes.
On a day you feel down, try walking the streets*. (Lyrics from a 90s Korean pop song)
And also, try getting drunk with a bittersweet cocktail.
Go where there's a poem- I mean, a picture-
How did you know I majored in poetry in college?
Oh, yes.
By the way, Young Shim...
- Yes. - Your face is looking unwell.
My face?
Oh, I always look poopy...
because I'm always overworked.
No, no. You're too pale, as white as snow.
Is it because I'm feeling happy for the first time in a while?
I am getting a bit dizzy.
What's wrong? Are you nauseous?
D-Do you feel like you have to vomit?
No, not at all. I'm okay.
You're not uncomfortable being with me or finding my face uncomfortable, right?
N-No, not at all.
Gosh, what do we do?
I-I'll get to the dock quickly, so hang in there for a bit.
H-Hurry up.
It's not even budging.
Do you think you can wait?
Hey, what's wrong?
PD Lee! I think she has to vomit!
Wh-Whoa! Whoa...
Whoa...
- I-I'm sorry, Young Shim. - I'm okay.
What?
Wait, Sunbae!
Whoa!
I can't swim! S-Sunbae...
Sunbae-
Aigoo, seriously.
Geez! He just has to cause more trouble.
- Hey, you idiot! - Sunbae!
Sunbae!
Sunbae... Sunbae!
Hey! Hey!
You're a handful, seriously!
I just can't live!
Hey, hey.
Get yourself together!
- Sunbae... - Wake up.
Pull him up. One, two, three!
- Sunbae, are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.
Hey, wait.
No, the mic! H-Hey, is it still working?
Gosh, it's more expensive than my life.
Does the mic matter right now?
Hey, take it and dry it out.
Wait, Sunbae...
Hey!
Hey, he doesn't get a mic, right?
Whoa, shit! Over here.
Hey, hey! The in-ear, the in-ear!
Aigoo, aigoo! Hey, dry these out, too.
Am I alive?
I'm alive.
[Wol Suk: YouTuber, Kyung Tae ♥ Wol Suk: Arcade Date] You're really good.
Gosh, I'm not sure if I still got it.
So cool!
- Do you want to try? - Me?
- Right there in the center- - I got it!
I heard you went to study abroad when you were young, Mark.
But you're way better than I am.
You're bound to win a game if you're competitive and have a strategy.
Didn't you wear glasses when you were young?
And have Angyeongtae* as your nickname? (Angyeong means glasses in Korean)
Oh, I was going to mention this new product from our company.
How is it? Does it look good on me?
We'll take a pause here and swap out the memory card.
Sure.
It's you, right?
You're the Wang Kyung Tae I know- Oh, my!
This means you're really Wang Kyung Tae.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Although you've become unrecognizably cooler over time,
you still can't fool my eyes.
Why are you coming right back out?
What did you do in there?
It's nothing.
Second dates have been completed.
We'll begin the intermediate voting.
[Sam Doo, Ho Jae, Kyung Tae]
[Wol Suk, Young Shim, Jung Jin]
Do we have any participants who changed their minds after the dates?
[Intermediate Voting Results] [Jung Jin: one vote, Wol Suk: one vote, Young Shim: one vote]
[Intermediate Voting Results] [Sam Doo: zero votes, Ho Jae: one vote, Kyung Tae: two votes]
This is interesting.
The final dates for "Love Lines" begins now.
Let me teach you this exercise.
You have to pull with your chest.
Whoa, you're really good.
Oh, my!
"State of Mind."
"They say love is like a sudden car accident."
- Where is this place? - Get yourself together.
- Sunbae! - Yes.
Gosh, are you okay?
I heard what happened.
Do you think I'd be okay?
We drank so much of Han River-
We were so close to death, seriously.
It can't be helped even if you're not okay.
You know we have to finish this today, right?
Aigoo. Hey, but what's going on?
We never talked about karaoke.
I'll take care of everything.
It's better to make screen time this way than to eat tteokbokki on a date.
Do something about this.
Sunbae, there's nothing to prepare for. Just do as you always do.
This is the last thing on the list. I'll get you home quickly.
- Go dry her hair first. - Her hair? What about mine?
Sunbae, fighting!
The last date is a competition date where there's a mission.
A competition?
I got the hint from your arcade date with Goo Wol Suk earlier.
You'll choose the song for each other and
the person who scores higher on the song gets a wish in this mission.
There's no time, Sunbae.
Please choose a song for the other person.
- Perfect Score Mode is prepared, right? - Yes, it's ready.
Who should go first?
Lady's first.
Don't regret it.
This song was sung by 17 people. How can I do this alone? Wang-

Y-Yes?
I was relieving too much stress since I hadn't sung in a long time.
O-Okay. Congratulations, CEO Wang.
That was a breathtaking performance.
All right. You can say what you want from Oh Young Shim.
Oh, okay.
My wish is...
Are you done choosing?
My wish is to buy this today.
What is it?
Headphones?
Excuse me.
Me?
You got something to say?
Could I see those headphones for a second?
These?
Why?
[Oh Young Shim] What are you doing right now? Give it back.
Where did you get these?
What's it got to do with you?
Seriously.
This model has been discontinued, so it won't be sold in the future.
Well...
even so, it's better to get the new models.
These look better.
A person who doesn't cherish other people's feelings
wouldn't understand this.
What's he saying?
Is he dissing me right now?
Looks like you're reminded of something.
That's what your face looks like.
How dare he make me wait?
Just go ahead and show your face.
I'll smash you to the ground.
You're aware promises...
are included in people's feelings, right?
Wouldn't it be the same as
not cherishing other people's feelings if you break promises without a word?
All right, then.
I-I'll just buy them for you.
Hope your eardrums will get a blow.
I'm suddenly reminded of back then.
Don't you remember...
Young Shim?
What did he say just now?
Hey, it's getting recorded right now, right?
Hey, Chae Dong!
Do they know each other from before?
♫ Some feelings just can't remain ♫
- Right. CEO Wang. - Yeah?
You know the second male participant, the writer, right?
He said he can't log in to his account on the app, so he wants it checked out.
All right. I'll check.

Things like this can cause controversy. So-
Oh, right! Wh-What's it called again?
Let's put revival matches in there. Okay?
Yes, that's what we said we should do during the intermediate discussion.
- When? - The intermediate discussion.
When? I did?
You said let's make it simple and just keep going since there's no time.
When did I ever?
- Sunbaenim. - Yeah?
You did say that.
Please go up.
- I did? - Yes, you did.
Did you make your final selection?
Yes.
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
That guy, Wang Kyung Tae...
I heard he's acquainted with Oh Young Shim, one of the female participants.
I heard they're first crushes from childhood or something.
Kinvely or Goblin, it looks like we got into the wrong game of rigged poker,
which is for advertising their products.
Sam Doo and Ho Jae, please come up to the stage!
Oh, okay.
It's time for final selections in "Love Lines."
Which date did you like the most?
Where are your lines of heart pointing?
Gosh, this isn't even a big deal, but my heart's racing.
Why is it racing?
Don't you remember...
Young Shim?
No. Come to your senses, Oh Young Shim.
You can't be shaken here.
If things go wrong and you don't get any votes...
you'll forever be the pathetic and sorry girl in a song...
called Young Shim the Zero Votes.
No way.
That bastard, seriously.
But since he still talked like that publicly...
isn't there a chance he'll choose me?
Am I right?
Or am I wrong?
Please press the final selections button.
One moment! One moment, please!
Well, you see...
Wh-What do you think about saying a word or two for the last vote?
Sunbae, out of nowhere?
I-It's always...
important to say your feelings before making the selection...
don't you think?
This isn't a proposal as a participant...
I'm proposing as the PD.
What do you think? Don't you think it's nice?
Let's do that.
All right. I'm in.
Okay.
Sure, then. Since everyone agreed...
everyone will say a thing or two before the final selections.
All right, we're going again.
Ready! Cue!
Pondering is also a waste of time, isn't it?
We're all busy people, so I'll go at once.
I want to...
have a lovely relationship with someone who has a king-size company.
I thought the selection would be easy...
but I'm conflicted to the end.
There's probably no expiration date on first love, right?
That's probably true...
since people don't change easily.
First love, so suddenly?
I think memories are powerful.
I'll stay true to my innocent feelings from childhood in making my decision.
As you can see, I'm pretty and capable.
I'm truer to the present than the past, and I'm honest.
All right, now. Please make your final selections.
What the heck are they saying?
What's everyone thinking?
It's a lot more entertaining than I expected.
I was wakened at once earlier.
It's got a suspenseful quality.
Let's just see the results.
Here are the results of the final selection.
So, you didn't hear anything from Young Shim?
That guy is Wang Kyung Tae, right?
Gosh, he's not just Wang Kyung Tae now, Woo Sang.
He's Mark Wang of Kingvely.
- Mark Wang? - Yes.
By the way, who did Young Shim choose?
Gosh, I don't know. There are no spoilers.
Focus.
Hey, I'm not nervous at all, but...
what's this trembling feeling?
Gosh, be quiet, for goodness' sake.
Whoa, it's coming out now!
[Sam Doo had appealed to Wol Suk with his physique.] It was Wol Suk who enjoyed a physically fit date.
First female participant, Jung Jin, has chosen...
[Sam Doo → Wol Suk] [Jung Jin → Kyung Tae]
Kyung Tae, the Young and Rich.
♫ The countless mountains you overcame prove you've been doing great ♫
[Jung Jin was touched by a successful CEO's affectionate knife skills.]
Second male participant, Ho Jae, has chosen...
[Ho Jae → Jung Jin]
[Ho Jae's feelings deepened with the poem.] They say love is like a sudden car accident.
Jung Jin, with whom he had a romantic poetry date.
Which part did you like the most?
Second female participant, Wol Suk, has chosen...
[Wol Suk → Kyung Tae]
Kyung Tae, who showed great competitiveness.
[Wol Suk went all-in on Kyung Tae, who is full of competitiveness.] You're so cool!
So far, Kyung Tae has received two votes.

Don't you remember...
Young Shim?
[Where will Young Shim's love line point to?]
She chose Kyung Tae, whom she showed a cute love-and-hate chemistry with.
Wang Kyung Tae, who received all the votes, where will his love line point to?
The last line takes off now!
Wh-What's this? Is it really me?
He chose Goo Wol Suk, who complimented his good looks.
[Wol Suk ♥ Kyung Tae]
How embarrassing.
She couldn't even get one line!
It's just as expected.
I thought she just might, but no.
Anyway, I'm worried about Young Shim.
The aftermath will be quite the deal.
Gosh, she's so embarrassing! Oh Young Shim, that ugly duckling!
Gosh...
"Love Lines" final couple is here.
Goo Wol Suk and Wang Kyung Tae, congratulations!
Oh, my.
