I Am Solo (Naneun Solo / 나는 SOLO)

Welcome to the Solo Land!

We've sent away our beloved participants...

- of Season 17. - Yes.

In the meantime, Season 18 has come to us.

- Yes! - Yes!

Here we go again!

The beach was blissfully beautiful

Season 18 is going to be filmed...

in my personal favorite...

- Where is it? - with the blue sea.

- It's Yeongdeok, - My goodness!

- well-known for splendid landscapes... - Snow crab!

and snow crabs!

What I'm more excited about this season as compared to the previous season is,

considering it's going to be held in Yeongdeok,

that there are going to be different aspects this time around.

Participants for Season 18 have mustered up the courage as well.

- That's right. - We'd appreciate your passionate support.

Let's head off to the blue sea of Yeongdeok now!

Let's go to the East Sea!

It's great to drive along the coastal road.

(The pine trees are planted along the coast.)

Yeongdeok is great.

How lush!

There's a Metasequoia forest as well.

(The first chapter will be written with Metasequoia in Beoryeong-ri.)

I'd like to ride a bike there.

- It's great. - Phytoncides.

- The first male participant is Young Soo! - It starts...

right away.

I'm looking forward to this.

He seems to be young.

He's listening to a song by Charlie Puth.

- It's a Mustang. - It's the young vibe.

- Cowboy. - It's a sports car.

(as if in matching colors with that of the car.)

Okay.

Could he be the youngest Young Soo?

(He's armed with black, an easy color to match.)

He's cute.

(His tall height of 184cm and nice appearance are noteworthy.)

- He looks capable. - Yes, he looks young.

He looks capable and confident, you can tell. He looks like a bear too.

Yes, he does.

It'd be nice to walk in that forest.

(He sets foot in the Solo Land for the first time.)

(Who is he destined to meet at the end of this road?)

He's the first one to enter. How nerve-wracking must it be?

Welcome.

Young Soo.

He's getting his name for the first time.

(What kind of person is Young Soo, looking clean and crisp?)

He looks like a nice guy.

Yes, he really does!

- He looks to be in his mid-30s. - I know, right?

Yes, he looks young.

- He may be popular among women. - Yes.

His eyebrows are nicely trimmed too.

He has the typical clean-cut look.

You look like a really nice guy.

- Me? Thank you. - Yes.

You have a nice smile.

- Yes. - Yes,

he has the looks that parents-in-law would like.

Where is your workplace at the moment?

It's a game company called NCSoft.

I'm a server programmer.

- A server programmer? - Yes.

- He works at a game company? - Programmer?

How cool!

I log in to the server that we created,

save our workload in our database,

and implement logic functions. I'm involved in the creation process.

I verify logic functions...

and calculate them...

- on this kind of server. - It requires delicacy.

- That's right. - Do you have any siblings?

- I'm an only child. - You must have been loved a lot.

- He's an only child. - Really?

I don't think I lacked a lot while growing up.

You bought this house?

- I bought it in installments. - You did? Is it a new apartment?

I thought I could make do with its location in Anyang.

- He owns an apartment too? - My goodness! He's capable!

I'm not a shy person,

so I can be entertaining.

In fact, until last year,

I thought of match-making companies...

- as undermining my pride a little. - You did?

I'm not the kind of guy...

that would be intimidated by others.

He's a confident guy.

- "You are good enough." - "You are good."

My acquaintances tell me.

(Young Soo's confident remarks, "I should receive one vote at least.")

I can see someone if I want to.

He's confident.

I'm not seeing anyone because I don't want to.

That's what I thought to myself.

"Even if you try to get to know him,"

"you'll see that I'm better than him."

That's what I think.

Confidence-wise, he reminds me...

- of Young Soo from Season 17. - Yes.

My confidence may be ungrounded,

but once I set my mind on someone, I will just go for her only.

Yes, I like his attitude.

That's what I believe about myself.

I hate to play games.

I think I'm a frank guy.

Yes.

I'm going back and forth.

- Why? - He is on day five?

You're fluctuating so much.

I really am.

Some may say that these are champagne problems, but...

- He's must be in a triangle relationship. - this is harder...

- than what I thought. - He's in for it.

He is.

Welcome.

This confident guy is going to keep wavering.

He's the main character of a triangle relationship.

Fluctuation of love.

(This guy is going to fill up the silent Solo Land...)

- It's Young Ho now. - Young Ho.

He must be quite old.

- The song's about filial piety. - Filial piety.

The song is about fathers.

He came in a really nice car.

(With sunglasses on, he turned up with a rose.)

- How come he looks so young? - What's going on?

- This time, they look so young. - What's with that flower?

That's such a nice car.

- My goodness. - Young Ho.

I have a good feeling about him too.

(He's the first guy to turn up with a flower in the Solo Land.)

He brought a flower with him.

He wants to give the rose to someone he's interested in.

Young Hos tend to turn up with sunglasses on.

By the way, he's 183cm tall?

- He's 183cm tall? - Yes, he's tall.

(His height of 183cm was briefly forgotten by the rose.)

(Young Ho, with a plot twist and a blessing in disguise)

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Let me put my suitcase away.

- Yes, please put it here. - Okay.

- What's that flower? - Sorry?

What's that flower?

That one? I brought one for someone I'd be interested in.

- You brought one? - He's going to bring it...

for when he helps out someone with her suitcase later on.

That's when I started thinking about it.

My friends talked about this show.

- So many people watch this show. - I know.

Isn't this great, by the way?

- It really is. - It smells great here.

It smelled of grass on the way here, making me feel great.

I couldn't help but grin to myself.

- He's a really sociable person. - I thought I was going to be nervous,

but I'm not as nervous as I expected,

but I feel excited instead.

- He's excited. - It looks like it.

The fragrance from the trees makes me feel great.

It's so relieving.

- He's a positive person. - Now,

- I feel great. - He has a great mindset.

Since this morning, I've been thinking...

whether I should wear glasses or contact lenses.

It was quite sunny where I came from, unlike here,

so I thought that I might frown,

which got me worried,

but then, if the refractive index of the glasses is...

combined with that of the camera,

my eyes may look as tiny as this, which got me worried again.

He overthinks.

Rather than overthinking, he overtalks.

- Would you take off your sunglasses? - Sure.

He's good!

Let me introduce myself again. Hello.

Definitely,

it's to meet someone that I can marry. That's my priority.

My second-best scenario should be...

to have a good time in a friendly manner.

That should be my aim.

He looks like a nice person.

- Yes. - He's unexpected.

- Did your father use to be a teacher? - Yes.

He used to be a professor of maritime management.

Professor of maritime management?

- He used to be a professor. - Yes.

Is he still one?

- Yes, he still is. - He's a professor at the moment.

In fact, I'm a greedy person,

so I studied hard at university.

- When I started working, - It's A-plus, 100 percent.

I tried hard to settle down.

I've been working here for about 12 years now.

- He's a diligent person. - He is.

My life is strictly routinized.

I study for about three hours after work.
