I Am Solo (Naneun Solo / 나는 SOLO)

Welcome to Solo Land, everyone.

Have you been well for the last week?

Last week, it seemed that all the attention was...

- going to be given to Ok Soon. - That's right.

The eyes of the male participants seemed to be almost those of a Catholic.

- Really? - They seemed to have...

completely fallen for Ok Soon,

which was really surprising.

Above all, we were almost teased...

by the 2-to-1 date of Young Chul, Young Sook, and Young Ho.

It started off with a great vibe, for sure.

Before they went out, and also in the car on the way.

The vibe was fairly different from previous dates of the same kind,

so we look forward to how they will lead...

- the conversation... - Yes, I'm curious.

with Young Sook.

Now, let's check out the rest of their date.

(The 2-to-1 date of Young Ho, Young Sook, and Young Chul starts...)

Young Chul, should we be in Episode Four by now?

We should be... Wait a minute. Let's see.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't think we'll be in Episode Three.

The thing is,

- They'll feature one-on-one dates first. - two-to-one dates are intriguing,

so I think ours will be included in the later episode.

Also, our conversations at night will be included...

throughout Episodes 3 and 4.

- How can he be that accurate? - Now, let's meet the analyst.

He's the prophet.

How surprising!

Will we be asked out for a chat starting tonight, then?

That's a possibility.

- How scary! - No way!

(The only 2-to-1 date of this episode will take place...)

Please take a seat, Young Sook.

Okay, I'll sit over here.

- Okay, shall I sit here? - Yes, please.

- We should sit over here. - I'll sit in the middle.

- Nice to meet you. - You too.

- I'll have to even the playing field. - Yes.

The venue seems great.

Sir.

I think there's a buzzer here.

(He goes off to ask for the server, not having seen the buzzer.)

Please take a seat.

Okay, I will set the table.

(He sets the table while waiting for the server.)

He sets the table.

Thank you so much for this.

It's better than do something than nothing.

It's better to be proactive.

We haven't placed an order yet.

It seems to take some time.

They'll come, won't they?

Let's wait.

Is there a reason or something?

- He tries his best. - Yes.

- He seems too impatient, though. - He is impatient.

We can order now, can't we?

- Yes. - Okay.

We'd like three portions of Special Assortment...

- Okay. - for now, please.

Okay.

It's quite strange to see you two sitting like this.

It must be something uncommon for us to experience outside of this program.

- That's true. - Exactly. What's going on?

That's true.

Our first date happens to be many-to-one.

They must be having meat.

How great!

(They have the grilled Korean beef as if to celebrate their first date.)

Is it ready now?

- I think it is. Beef is cooked easily. - Okay.

Shall we start? Please help yourselves too.

Let's get on with it,

recharge ourselves, and have a chat afterward.

(They have a bite of the beef, having arrived at the venue in the rain.)

How delicious!

- They should start talking while eating. - They should get to know one another.

They're focused on the food, including the meat.

Someone has to lead the conversation here.

(Somehow, the three of them have run out of conversation materials.)

It's going to be difficult...

because both of them seem introverted.

They should ask her some questions, though.

How come they're just eating like that?

Have they been hypnotized by the fire?

Do you all live alone?

Do you all live alone?

- I do. - I do too.

Okay.

So do I.

- Okay. - Okay.

They shouldn't shorten their responses like that.

Please reciprocate the question.

- This is not going to work. - "Is everything okay?"

"How are things going nowadays?"

It must be really uncomfortable.

(The conversation doesn't continue, and all one can hear is them chewing.)

How did you normally spend time...

with your girlfriend?

They want the other to answer it first.

They must have been starved.

Was that such a difficult question?

It's a normal kind, where you go to nice places and so on.

No one leads the conversation, though.

Both of them are older than me.

Also, I'd like to be led by a man.

I felt pressured to fill the silence,

being with them.

- Did you? - Yes.

It's understanding why she felt disinterested in both of them.

They felt just awkward.

- The thing is... - I understand, but...

she is the one that they sort of have in mind,

but she happens to be way too perfect.

That makes the conversation less fluid, you know.

They are not sure how to start the conversation.

- Shall we raise our glasses? - Okay.

It's about time that we left.

It's about time that the restaurant closed anyhow.

I think we should get going now.

Yes, I think we should get going.

- You had a 2-to-1 chat just now. - Yes.

Do you need to have a 1-to-1 chat respectively?

- I think so. - Wouldn't we need one?

- I think it'd be nice. - I think it'd be nice.

The production crew asked them.

- They didn't say, "Please go ahead." - It's better that they have one.

It's Young Chul.

(Young Chul has a chat with Young Sook in private.)

This is the real deal.

We get to have a private chat at last.

Yes.

In a sense, I've been looking forward to this moment.

- Okay. - In a way,

I feel regretful as well.

Is it because we had a 2-to-1 date just now?

Yes, in a way.

Okay.

Yet, we did have a 1-to-1 chat yesterday,

- albeit briefly. - That's true.

- This is our second chat. - Yes.

It is, in a way.

"It is, in a way."

(Young Chul had a short talk with Young Sook for choosing her.)

- You should know that you're beautiful. - Don't say that!

Even an elementary school student wouldn't believe you.

How do you feel?

What shall I say? I have thought that you were a smart woman.

You also have the looks of it too.

It is the vibe that I've been looking for.

Seeing you introduce yourself today,

I felt somehow, "What a coincidence."

- Is it because of the university? - Yes, let's say so.

- What is, "Let's say so?" - What is, "Let's say so?"

He should have said, "Yes, it is."

It felt like, "Yes, let's say so."

Yes, let's say so.

Also,

- even though I don't know you well, - Okay.

if we should meet on a blind date,

I would say, "I'd like to see her again."

You'd see me again.

I would say, "I'd like to see her again."

You'd see me again.

Yes, let's say so.

What is, "Let's say so?"

- Why does he keep saying, "Let's say so?" - Is that his catchphrase?

"Let's say so."

It's vague.

It's somewhat embarrassing.

"Let's say so."

Okay.

It's going to become a catchphrase.

I do think that it feels different...

to have a 1-to-1 date for sure.

As I understand, you are funny...

when you're in a group.

As I mentioned before,

however many times I think...

As I mentioned before...

- The rain must be coming in. - What's going on?

My goodness.

I don't think I'm putting on an act.

(To make matters worse, thunder starts to roar, followed by lightning.)

- My goodness! - My goodness!

- The weather doesn't help them. - What a quirk of fate.

Their conversation isn't fluid.

- The weather doesn't help either. - Right.

- What's going on? - It can't be helped. My goodness.

- No way! - They should close the windows.

Shall we move the chair to this side?

Okay, shall we?

- Okay, please go ahead. - That's why...

- As a person, I'm thoughtful. - Your drinks are ready.

Let me go get them.

Excuse me. Is it okay to close the windows here?

It's not going well.

- I feel bad for them. - They're not being helped from above.

This is not right. What's going on?
