After those grounded dates, a heartbroken and disappointment Ui Yeong gets drunk and starts texting. If she had simply messaged an ex to confess lingering feelings, nan business mightiness person stayed manageable. Instead, she texts everyone successful her contacts and asks them to group her up connected a unsighted date.
Unsurprisingly, galore of her contacts cognize personification who mightiness beryllium interested, and soon her number is circulating everywhere. Although nan thought came to her while drunk, Ui Yeong decides to perpetrate to nan opportunity and goes connected aggregate unsighted dates successful a row.
Even though she does not find nan emotion of her life by nan extremity of nan experiment, nan acquisition reveals 2 important truths. First, nary 2 group are precisely nan same.

What is worse than going connected a day pinch personification who keeps asking astir your parents’ status scheme and your marital expectations? Having nan day interrupted by a man you antecedently went retired with, particularly nan aforesaid man who erstwhile made you consciousness for illustration an afterthought.
That is precisely what happens erstwhile Ji Su abruptly appears.
After Ui Yeong rejects each lucifer owed to a deficiency of connection, she assumes nan business is over. However, 1 of nan men asks her retired again, and she reluctantly agrees. The 2nd day originates normally, speech from nan man’s overly intrusive questions astir her family.
Things quickly spiral erstwhile Ji Su, who is moving arsenic a waiter astatine nan restaurant, overhears nan man criticizing Ui Yeong during a telephone call. Believing he is doing nan correct thing, Ji Su confronts him and causes a segment that yet ruins nan date.

From nan audience’s perspective, Ji Su’s actions are somewhat understandable since he wanted to take sides Ui Yeong.

Most group do not meet nan emotion of their life connected their first unsighted date. However, sometimes everything aligns perfectly and you extremity up gathering personification who mightiness really beryllium correct for you, only to recognize it excessively late.
This seems to beryllium precisely what is happening pinch Ui Yeong and Tae Seop.
In nan caller episodes, nan 2 tally into each different again aft weeks of nary contact. During their conversation, Tae Seop yet clarifies his intentions. One logic Ui Yeong dismissed their first day truthful quickly was his abrupt question: “Can you day pinch matrimony successful mind?” It was an unexpectedly superior mobility for a first meeting.
Tae Seop explains that he was simply trying to definitive his genuine liking successful getting to cognize her better, but nan mobility came retired awkwardly and astatine nan incorrect time.
It is simply a bittersweet realization. If Tae Seop had phrased things differently, nan 2 mightiness already beryllium dating. At nan aforesaid time, their short first gathering gave Ui Yeong nan chance to meet different group and amended understand what she wants successful a partner.

Tae Seop, however, openly confesses that he wants to prosecute a narration pinch her. After proceeding Ui Yeong reciprocate those feelings, nan 2 moreover stock a kiss.
But Tae Seop undermines nan full infinitesimal by referring to Ui Yeong arsenic an acquaintance.
Not a friend. Not a imaginable partner. Simply an acquaintance. It is simply a frustrating measurement backward that highlights really severely Tae Seop needs to activity connected expressing himself clearly.
With section 3 mostly focused connected Ui Yeong’s whirlwind unsighted making love acquisition and section 4 exploring her rekindled relationship pinch Tae Seop, nan communicative seems to beryllium mounting up nan adjacent shape of nan emotion triangle. Since Ji Su whitethorn soon use for a occupation astatine Ui Yeong’s workplace, upcoming episodes could displacement nan attraction toward their move and time off viewers debating who genuinely is nan amended lucifer for Ui Yeong.
