(The flower buds are ready to burst) (Under the warm sun) (Under the warm sun)
(The green sprouts are coming up) (and the flowers are gorgeously colorful) (Long winter has passed and springtime is finally here) (But winter will not vanish so easily) (without first showering us with some spring rain) (9 people have come here to find their soulmates) What's up with this weather? (The one and only soulmate) (I'm here to find the one) (Welcome to Soulmate House) (The first person in search for her soulmate is here) (Carefully stepping in) I want to find someone (The first person is looking for someone to help each other)
who can join me in my work and my life. And I wanted to come here because I wanted to be with other people,
which I haven't done in a while. (Free seating which can give a glimpse of what everyone has in their minds) (Choose one of 9 alphabets)
What are these alphabets? (Everyone will be called by an alphabet they choose until the names are revealed)
Don't people usually sit in the middle when they're the first to arrive? (First participant takes the letter G) (Nervous) (The second participant arrives) (Curious) I want to find (The second participant is looking for someone to ease her loneliness)
a soulmate. (The second participant is looking for someone to ease her loneliness)
I'm here because I'm lonely. I'll show myself just as I am. (Awkward) Where can I sit...? Wherever you'd like... (The second participant takes the letter E) I'll sit here. (The two exchange greetings rather shyly) - Hi.
- Hello. (Awkward) Your outfit is really pretty. Really? - Sure.
- Thank you. (The conversation seemed to be going smoothly)
(But then it stopped shortly) (Silence other than the sound of clearing throats) (E works up her courage to strike up a conversation)
- Did you eat?
- No. - I was too nervous to eat.
- Same here. - You didn't eat?
- I had two pieces of gimbab (rice roll). Two rolls of gimbab? No. (E and G are running into a wall already)s - Oh, two pieces?
- That's right. Wow, you must've been really nervous. (Nod)
Yeah. (Silence takes over again) (The 3rd participant walks in breaking silence) - Someone's here.
- Yeah. (Excited) Is it here? (Staring) She's very small. Cute outfit. I got really lonely (The 3rd participant is looking for someone to spend the rest of her life with)
after living alone for 20 years. So I'm here to find my soulmate. - Hi.
- Hi. It's been so long since I've met someone. Take whichever seat you'd like. (Everyone's eyes are on her) My blood type is B, so... (The 3rd participant takes alphabet B) Didi you eat? No, I haven't eaten anything. Did you? - I had 2 pieces of gimbab.
- 2 pieces. (G answers for E who is too nervous)
She was too nervous to eat. You look pretty. (B's compliment makes E feel good) (What about me?) (No answer) (The 4th participant walks in cheerfully) Isn't she a celebrity? (She looks very familiar) (Who was she..?) Can a celebrity participate in this show? (Looks very happy) (Why is she here?)
I decided to come on this show because... (The 4th participant is here for promotion rather than to find her soulmate)
this show is really popular. (The 4th participant is here for promotion rather than to find her soulmate)
I can promote myself here. (The 4th participant is here for promotion rather than to find her soulmate)
Yeah, that's why I'm here. Where did I see her? (The 4th participant lights up the mood)
Hi. - Hello.
- Hi. What's going on? - You can take any seat you want.
- You can pick your own seat. What's your blood type? It's O. (The chairs are from alphabet A to I) (The 4th participant takes alphabet C)
- Wow, C!
- I'll take C. . Oh, next to me? (Is she interested in B?) (I need some attention)) What's everyone's MBTI? - Are you asking me?
- Yeah. (E is asking a lot of questions to C) Mine starts with I. I.. Just I? What's the rest? We can get to know each other slowly. (G strikes up a conversation with C)
- You look very familiar.
- Totally. I mean, can I ask this kind of question? (Everyone seems to be familiar with C. Who is she?) I'm very curious. I'll tell you later. (Curiosity over C's identity is mounting) (5th participant walks in) (Even the way she walks shows how cheerful she is) (The 5th participant is looking for a true soulmate) I just really want to find my soulmate. (But it'd be great to promote myself..)
I've been working really hard lately to promote myself... (Curiosity over C's identity is mounting)
and it'd be great if more people got to know me. Oh, hi! (Chirpy) (Her enthusiasm lights up the room in an instant) Hi. (Intrigued)
What? What's this? Where do I sit? You can pick. (The 5th participant takes D between people)
I'll take D. (How come no one sits next to me?) OMG, did I see you on TV? (Everyone seems to be intrigued by D) Really? So great to meet you! You are very chirpy. (Thank you for the compliment )
Thank you. It is a compliment, right? (Conversations revolve around D)
Right. (Feeling left out)
Thank you. (E is interested in D) (What's running through C's mind right now?) (Silence has vanished and the mood is much lighter) (The 6th participant walks in cautiously) Someone else is here. (Full of anticipation) (Interesting style and she's carrying something) The hair color is... She's so dressed up. - Hi.
- Hello. Nice to meet you. Hi. (She suggests sanitizing hands)
Do you want? Oh, I'm okay. Really? It's not really okay with me. (C is put off by her)
She just seems odd. (C is put off by her)
I just had a feeling that we wouldn't get along. The sanitizer smells like bananas. (I'm as sweet as bananas) - Bananas.
- Right. Just sit wherever you'd like. (The 6th participant takes the last seat, I)
I'll sit here. (Not pleased) (Unlike D, I is all about distancing herself from others)
I mean, it's a lot of people. (The 6th participant is very cautious)
I'd like to be friendly with them, but it's not easy for me. (Will the 7th participant light up the mood again?) She's so pretty! (Everyone's eyes are on her) (Her special aura grabs everyone's attention) Did you see her pointed foot when she stepped down? (I did!) (Such graceful steps) (No one's interested in I anymore) (Her beauty and calmness is visible even from a distance) I'm an influencer on social media. (The 7th participant is looking for a connection)
But that sort of popularity doesn't mean much. I want to find a friend that I can connect to. That's why I'm here. She is very pretty. Hi. The floor is pretty cold. (She has a dancer's step)
- Are you a ballet dancer?
- Do you have cold hand and feet syndrome? (The 7th participant takes alphabet A)
- The floor's cold.
- That's A. That's A. I like being at the end. Is your blood type A? RIght. It is. (B fell in love with A)
I've never seen anyone like her. So... I'm very loyal. I think I'm gonna stick with her. (B's trying to get friendly)
- Mine is B.
- Oh, really? (Will they connect?)
That's why you sat here! (Is everyone happy) (except for me...?) (The 8th participant might fill the void) (She is oddly luxurious) That's an overkill. (G speaks out loud what everyone only thought in their heads) I mean, the outfit. (The 8th participant will give an opportunity to experience a different world)
I'll let you experience my world. You must love pearls. Wow. (The 8th participant takes the letter F in the center)
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you. Did you stop by at the coffee shop? Yeah, it's owned by my dad's friend. (Whatever) (Is F a socialite?)
That bag! Isn't that expensive? (Her bag is designer's brand) This? It is. (F is head to toe designers' brands) (Not really pleased with her) (Who is this person??) (Who is she?) (F shocked everyone with her special appearance) I think we have one more. The last person! (The 9th and the last participant)
There must be 9 of us? What's going on? (Curious)
What is she doing? (The last participant has a guitar) There's no age limit here? I love music. That's why I always have a guitar with me. (The 9th participant is looking for her muse)
I want to find a soulmate who can also be my muse. If she's not here, then I'll go somewhere else. No big deal. Is that gray hair?? (Everyone stands because she looks older)
Should we stand up? Hi. Hi, a lot of young people here. (The last participant changes the mood completely)
She looks like a kkondae (a condescending older person). This seat is empty. (What changes will H bring here?) (Intrigued) (The last participant takes the letter H) (Nice to meet you everyone, who are searching for your soulmates) (The 9 mates are all here) - Nice to meet you all.
- Pleased to meet you. Did you enjoy your trip here? Did you come from far? Yeah. From where? From where there is a lot of greenery. It's my first time being in such a crowded place. (B seems very odd the more she talks) (Introduction time)
Shall we introduce ourselves? Let's start with A. Hi, I'm A. I'm here to find someone I can connect to. What do you do for a living if you don't mind asking? (An influencer?)
You might know who I am. - You must be famous.
- Wow. Because of my job, I meet a lot of people on a daily basis. But I don't get to meet people personally.
So I'm excited. I don't know who I'm interested in, but I know I'm curious about someone. (B's introduction continues)
I'm B. She looks like she's blood type B. (Only E and G know B's blood type)
Yeah! I was pretty lonely. (Unable to communicate) (Is she blood type B?)
I'm pretty lonely. I'm here to find someone who can quench my thirst. I haven't been around people in so long, so this is all new to me. I like that everyone seems really unique. I feel like I'll meet the one that I'm looking for here. (B is certain that she'll find her soulmate)
I'm sure I will. Hi, I'm C. (C has a very solid voice) (C seems very confident.) (Intrigued) Is that it? - Nice to meet you!
- Yeah. - Your hair color is very unique.
- Are you an idol? She seems like it. (Is C an idol?)
The one with the blue hair (C caught A's attention)
stood out. She is certainly eye grabbing. We all have different styles so it'll be fun. I don't know who I like yet, but I know with whom I have to compete. (Who's C's competition?)
I'm just going to enjoy the ride today. (D's introduction) Hi, everyone. I'm D. I hope I can have a great time with you today and it'll be even better if I can find my soulmate here. Nice to meet you all! (Humans are awesome)
I'm once more reminded that there are all kinds of people in this world. And I'd like to feel all of your heartbeats. (D is very eloquent) (The names, age, and jobs are still unknown) (but the 9 mates are getting to know each other) (Who's next?) Hi, everyone! I'm E. Tzu-E..? (Broken) Tzu-E..? (That was nice) (Very funny Some of you are my age, and some of you are older. I think it will be fun. (F's introduction)
Hi, I'm F. I love shopping. But there is a hole in my heart that can't be filled with shopping. So that's why I'm here. (Hmm)
- Something money can't buy...
- Exactly. (F reveals her vulnerability)
Nice to meet you. What can I say? These people are different from the people I'm used to. (I'm curious about everyone)
So I'm curious about everyone. (G's introduction)
Hi, (Staring)
I'm G. I... GGGG (What is up with this person..?) (I don't think I'll get along with her)
She likes dad jokes. I'm not pleased. (Surprised!)
Not pleased? (Avoiding eye contact)
Sorry. I'm here to find - my other half.
- Other half. (Let's not encourage her) (No, thank you) (G is very clear cut)
I wasn't pleased. (I don't think I'll get along with G)
The young person next to me... (You don't know what you're missing) I think I am pretty good with people. So I'll try to get to know the person that I'm interested in. You're very charming. (Stop that)
It's not the time yet. (D is very strong) (Got it) (What's going on) (H's turn)
- Your turn.
- Hi, I'm H. (H seems like she has something to say) (Focused) Do you know what life is about? Not really. Life alone is A-okay. But you need the other half. (Kkondae is lecturing everyone already) What do young people do for fun these days? I'm here to feel the young energy. (Just being here makes me feel young)
I love the energy. I don't think I can be a soulmate for someone who's older than me. I just can't see myself with H. (H reveals her age)
My age starts with 5. You know you can smell someone, right? H smelled like... some of my dad's friends. H smelled familiar. It's not that I'm interested in her. I have a bit of gray here, but everyone's fine with it, right? It looks like you dye your hair on purpose. (I's dyed hair and your naturally gray hair is the same)
It's very similar to the one next to you. Does your age start with 5 as well? Sorry, can you get your hands off of me? (I's response shocks H) (I admits her OCD)
I have a serious case of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) So... (I get it)
I'll stay away. Thank you. Hi, I'm I. I haven't met with anyone in a long time because of my OCD. (What made I to come on this show?)
- What made you come here...?
- Why did you decide to come here? So because of my OCD, I don't have any friends. I'm here to make friends. (But your feet don't look like you have OCD)
But look at your feet. (Hiding) I seems familiar. But she changed her hairstyle and took off her glasses. So... I'm wondering who she really is. I'm inclined to think that her OCD is made up. (9 mates introduced themselves) (Popularity vote)
Let's do a popularity vote. (Already?) (Anxious)
- What?
- Already? (The 9 mates don't know each other's names, age, and jobs) (One should cast the vote based solely on the first impression) (Vote for the person you're interested in) (I hope I meet my soulmate only with the first impression) (9 people cast their first votes) It goes in here? Here? Let's go! (Will any of them pair up?) (Done with the first round of vote to find soulmates) What if no one picked me? We're all on the same boat. This is too cruel. I'm so nervous. (One person remains calm) (Wide eyed) (Wide eyed)
Don't do that. H, you're giving us a lot of pressure. (What did I do?)
Really? First impressions are nothing more than just first impressions. Right. (Popularity vote result)
We'll disclose the result. The one who got the most votes will be rewarded with the fancy brunch. - Wow!
- The one who got the most votes? Just one person? And her choice of two people. (Please) What about the rest? The remaining six will be given a simple brunch. That might actually be better. - Right!
- I feel like I'll be left out. (Who's the one person who will get to eat with someone she likes?)
- But it's important to eat with someone you like.
- True. So this is the result. (F is called first)
F. (And surprisingly H)
- H.
- H? (The first meeting was strange, yet intriguing) (Based on the first impression) (who did they eat brunch with..?) (Who got the most votes..?)
