I Am Solo (Naneun Solo / 나는 SOLO)

Hello, everyone.

- What should I do? - What's wrong?

- It's the advent of winter, - That's right.

when some animals dig in the ground and get ready to hibernate.

All the singletons in the country,

please don't give up, thinking that you won't make it this year.

- Please get back up. You should apply. - They should get out again.

The winter has begun, but Season 17 is very...

heated. It's hot in here.

- Yes. - It really is...

- It's so hot. - because of the second-best date,

isn't it, Hae Na?

"Second best? Am I his second best?" It must feel odd for those in question,

but those who weren't chosen must be happy, thinking, "I must be..."

- "his first because I wasn't chosen." - That's right.

What we look forward to the most is...

how things will change between Young Sik and Sun Ja.

Let's go take a look...

at these exciting second-best dates now.

Today, you'll go on a date...

with your second best.

- They were shocked. - It stirred them up.

- It really did. - It stirred them up indeed.

That means I'm someone's second best if I'm selected?

Is it something I should be happy about or not?

Now this gets me thinking again!

(Will the second-best dates bring about opportunities or crises?)

This is a joke of destiny.

I'm also interested in you.

You are my second best.

Hyun Sook, I'm also interested in you.

Seriously, I was really shocked to hear that.

I'm also interested in you.

Thank you.

"Okay. You had your second best in mind."

Ok Soon, I'm also interested in you.

Ok Soon is someone that will remain in the corner of my heart.

This doesn't mean she's at the bottom.

It's just that she's no one's second best.

They chose their second best,

which helped me to tidy it all up.

I thought, "Young Soo has had me..."

"in his mind all along."

That's what I mean! This is not right.

This was bound to happen.

The weather's perfect for a date today.

- How come I'm so exhausted? - It's time for us to have a chat now.

I'm drained.

Shall I keep it closed briefly?

What's going on, seriously? My goodness.

I'm sorry...

- There are some who feel complicated. - that you looked so unhappy out there,

- Me? - Young Sook. Yes.

- Do you mean when Young Soo came to me? - Yes.

Really? Didn't I look composed?

That means that his first is Young Ja by anyone's standards.

"I already had a 1-on-1 date with Young Ja,"

"but things may change if I had one with her," he must have thought.

I also thought, "My feelings..."

"for Young Soo may change,"

- but then I was chosen by more than one. - I know, yet again.

As far as I can see,

it is certain that you are...

Sang Chul's first, Hyun Sook,

so the rest of them seem almost meaningless.

While I was being interviewed,

I said, "Anyhow, I have only one in mind."

"Now, I have made up my mind."

That's what I said.

Being in a romantic relationship, things don't go as planned.

- Right? - Yes.

- Now, this happened. - Things don't go as planned in Solo Land.

I also said that I had Young Soo in mind only.

I wonder what the men's feelings are.

One will never know how anyone feels.

No.

I want to get some air.

I feel frustrated.

This doesn't feel right all of a sudden.

It feels somewhat strange. I feel really anxious now.

I've considered Young Ho all along.

"Young Ho may keep trying to talk to her."

When we were in the car on the way here,

I said this so he could hear me too.

- What I said was... Yes. - "She's my first choice."

In the beginning, when we were asked to choose our second best,

I said that I wanted to go on a date with her,

so this is a great chance for me.

- Really? - Yes, I wanted to go on a date with her.

Who is it?

- Hyun Sook? - Yes.

"I want to go on a date with Hyun Sook."

He keeps saying, "It's okay," but it's not.

It's not okay.

(He heard Young Ho's declaration of war in the car on the way back.)

I think that Young Ho and Hyun Sook may...

have good chemistry.

He thinks so.

She's older than him, though.

She's older than him, but look.

Young Ho said, "It has to be younger than me,"

but he didn't exclude Hyun Sook after the self-introduction session.

He doesn't give up, knowing that she is older than him.

Are you more anxious about how she may lean toward him?

That means you practically don't have your second best onward.

Does that mean I don't really? I'm actually anxious now.

Sang Chul has never seemed like this.

(Sang Chul is crestfallen with his anxiety.)

What are you going to eat, Young Ho?

That's right. I should have asked her when we were standing there.

It's okay. I was thinking whether I should go ahead and book one.

Shall I recommend a few restaurants? I'm going through some at the moment.

- I knew it. - I think they'll all be open now.

- A few with partitions? - Yes, please.

That's great.

This is amazing.

You've organized them in this manner?

Where else would there be partitioned restaurants?

Otherwise, this one doesn't have partitions, but...

I'll go to the toilet. Take a look at them in the meantime.

- Okay. - I won't need my phone anyhow.

Young Sik's so nice, really.

He's kind to everyone. He takes a photo of them.

- He takes a photo of all of them. - He takes a photo of all the restaurants?

It's somehow not so easy to go visit the women's house.

Let's go. Come with me.

Okay.

(He heads off with Young Soo, the proactive guy.)

I kept having a chat with others in the morning.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Can we come inside for a while?

Where do you mean? The living room?

- Please come to the living room. - We can be in the living room.

- We should choose the restaurant. - That's true.

He came to choose one with Hyun Sook too.

Restaurant?

I've been looking at some restaurants.

There are duck restaurants, beef restaurants...

He says, "I've been looking at some restaurants."

That's true.

It was Young Sik who told him about them.

He's not lying, though. "I've been looking at some restaurants, found by Young Sik."

- Young Soo. - Yes!

I knew you'd be here. Can I come in?

Please come here, Sang Chul.

(Hyun Sook and Sang Chul face each other for the first time...)

How awkward!

Enjoy your meal.

Why did you bring your laptop with you?

I've looked at all the restaurants.

- Sorry? - No, it's not mine.

- It was here. Yes. - Was it here?

She's trying to read his face. She doesn't know what to do.

Hyun Sook's eyes are saying,

"It's you that I'm interested in for now."

- Yes. - That's how it feels.

He kept coming and going,

but he never looked me in the eye.

"Why?"

"Does he feel..."

"bad?"

What was that? I can't recall this one.

Wrong!

Hyun Sook must be watching them going on a 2-on-1 date soon,

feeling quite strange.

- Foot. - Foot?

I'm hungry.

Young Sik and Sun Ja.

What was brought here has to be used anyhow.

(Young Sik and Sun Ja walk into the communal kitchen together.)

Shouldn't we grill all of this?

- What shall we do with this? - What about stir-fried spicy pork?

Yes, or we can cook pasta with this.

Are you going to cook aglio e olio for us this evening?

- Aglio e olio? - Yes.

That's going to be for you only.

Let's go for a walk briefly in that direction.

Anytime I have some time left for me,

I just want to have a chat with you, Sun Ja.

I'm not sure about others, but I can tell you this for sure.

I felt that you were very kind to me,

- and you made it obvious. - Yes.

But Jung Sook said,

(Jung Sook told Sun Ja this morning to be wary of Young Sik.)

- "You may not be his first." - Okay.

"It may not be that he's going for you only, Sun Ja."

- Okay. - "You never know,"

so I thought, "I should try..."

"to know about others too."

"That's what I should do."

"I've been only talking with Young Sik." That's what I thought.

She's beating around the bush,

- That's right. - but she means,

"I'd like to have a chat with others too."

She's using Jung Sook's comment as an excuse.

- It's an excuse. - Absolutely.

- Jung Sook created an optimal scene... - Yes.

- for an excuse. - That's right.

Did you say that you haven't talked...
