The Practical Guide to Love (미혼남녀의 효율적 만남)

Are you here for a blind date?

No, I'm not.

Sorry.

Ui-yeong!

- Hey! - Over here!

It's been a minute.

- Seriously! - You look stunning.

- Me? - Yeah.

- Beautiful. - You're glowing!

Thanks.

- How's everyone doing? - Well.

- It's been so long. - Yeah.

- Everyone's busy. - We only meet

- when someone's getting married. - I know.

- Seriously. - Life gets busy.

How have you been?

- Thank you. - My, my.

- Please come. - Will do!

- My gosh. - Is it okay?

- Yeah. - Of course!

It's so pretty and neat.

- Beautiful. - It was a lot of work.

I can't believe you're getting married.

It feels like just yesterday when you booked the venue. Time flies.

- I know. - Congrats.

You must be so busy.

Yeah, it's crazy.

I have to invite people

plan the wedding, and move.

I'm even getting a wedding check-up next week.

A wedding check-up?

It's just what they call it.

They visit a gynecologist and a urologist

to make sure they're fertile.

Is that common these days?

Yeah.

But there are some fun things to do along the way.

Like what?

Ta-da!

- No way! - That's beautiful!

It's so pretty and sparkly!

That's crazy, isn't it?

Look at Ui-yeong getting excited after seeing that.

I know!

That's a big rock. I've never seen one that big.

Isn't it heavy to wear?

- It's too heavy. - Right?

- Put it down. - My gosh.

You're so funny.

When are you getting married?

- Me? - Yeah.

You're the only single one left once I get married.

Oh, you're right.

Is your current boyfriend not really husband material?

No, he's great.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

I just don't want to get married yet.

By the way

was there a moment when you realized you knew he was the one?

Yeah, I was just eating with him one day

and realized we'd probably eat together for the rest of our lives.

What about you?

When I got pregnant.

Seeing him step up and tell our parents about our pregnancy

I knew I could trust him.

Is it really necessary to be so dramatic?

Aren't you bound to marry whomever you're dating around this age?

Bring your boyfriend to the wedding. We'll see what he's like.

Yeah, we're curious.

Okay, I'll ask him if he's free.

Oh, right!

- Ui-yeong! - Yeah?

Could you give the wedding toast?

- Me? No way. - Yeah.

Why not? You were always good at public speaking.

- Yeah. - Come on.

I did that for good grades.

I'm not even married. What do I even say?

I'd hate to get nervous and even tear up

before the person even begins their speech.

I can't stand that.

Come on, I can't do it.

Just take it easy and keep it simple.

- Yeah. - Just say nice things.

- Help her. - Yeah, help her out.

- Yeah. - She's begging you.

Fine.

- Really? - Yeah.

Yes! I got my wedding toast!

Keep it simple, okay?

Simple. Not too emotional.

Don't cry, okay?

- You too! - Yeah, you!

How would you like to renovate your workshop?

A lot of customers want to visit to buy my products

so I'd like to have a showroom with it, even if it's small.

But the space is already tiny.

Could I take some photos?

Of course.

We'll have space to work with once we add cabinets

- along the ceiling. - I see.

Is there a specific design you want?

Well, actually...

I chose you as my designer after seeing your work at the exhibition.

- I see. - I want a design

that's timelessly beautiful instead of just trendy.

Okay, then.

Thank you.

Did you make this yourself, too?

Yeah.

Wow, that's stunning.

I bet couples who wear these rings will never run out of love.

You think so? Maybe that's why.

Every couple with those rings got married.

- Really? - Yeah.

But I'm not going to make more of them because I don't want to break the record.

I'm only going to make custom rings from now on.

I see.

Would you like to see the inside?

Sure.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO HO-JIN AND EUN-MI'S WEDDING

Hey, Ui-yeong.

Hey.

Aren't you hungry?

I wanted to eat with you, so I barely ate.

I barely had any!

Good job.

- Let's go. - I'm so hungry.

It's going to be so good!

It looks amazing.

- Here. Have this. - Thanks.

This looks amazing.

Try it.

The sauce is so good.

- Right? - Yeah.

Your restaurant recommendations never disappoint.

I knew you'd love it.

This simple flavor could make anyone's day.

Oh, did you have fun with your friends?

Yeah, we talked so much.

Oh, and they're dying to meet you.

They want you at the wedding.

I can go. I'll make time.

- Really? - Yeah.

I get invited to a wedding or have a wedding to attend every week.

There's no time to go on dates

because I'm too busy celebrating other people's love.

Your friends

also always talk about getting married, right?

Yeah, I guess so.

Before that, it was about our careers

and how much we were making.

That was what everyone cared about

but now, it's about getting married and buying a new house.

I guess it's natural for everyone to become that way.

It can be natural for some, but unnatural for others.

Everyone has a different pace in life.

That's true.

Oh, are you free tomorrow?

I want to bring you the chair.

Oh, really? It's finally coming!

I'm so excited. I can't wait to sit in it.

- I'll bring it tomorrow. - Perfect.

- No, wait! - What?

Not this one.

This is my trophy.

Trophy, my ass. It's whiskey.

No!

It's from my supervisor after I exceeded

the sales goal by 100%.

No!

Come on.

Let's just leave it as a token of my past glory.

Didn't you hear the doctor?

It's on you for leaving it unopened all this time.

Why don't we start drinking tea instead of alcohol now?

The world of tea seems just as serious

from what I saw during my tea field visit.

Drink white tea instead of white wine

and black tea instead of red, okay?

What are you talking about?

Great, right?

Even today?

Of course! You're ridiculous.

It's so comfortable!

- Is it? - Yeah, even the back!

How did you build this? I love it.

I'm glad.

And doesn't it fit right in at my house?

- Yeah, it does. - Thank you!

Have some tea if you're done.

- Okay. - Yes, ma'am.

Come.

It smells so nice.

Is it okay?

I love it.

So, you build and sell furniture like the chair?

Yeah, I build furniture

and also get clients from architectural firms and brands

to design spaces.
