The unpredictable love line shifts in 'I'm SOLO' Season 29, located at Solo Nation No. 29, have captured the attention of viewers. The episode aired on the 10th recorded a peak viewership rating of 3.65% according to Nielsen Korea, and particularly maintained the top spot in the 2049 viewership ratings with 1.78%, proving its hot popularity.
The first change in the love line in this 29th season was detected among Young-ho, Ok-soon, Young-sook, and Hyun-sook. Young-ho claimed, "Ok-soon has now disappeared from my heart," citing the impossibility of long-distance relationships and his ideal type being 'tofu face' as reasons. Nevertheless, he continued to recall the past where he was swayed by Ok-soon's smile and eye contact, showing a contradictory side as he continued his 'Ok-soon chant'. In a conversation with Young-sook, he expressed his fondness by saying, "Thank you for choosing me twice," but Hyun-sook remained silent, increasing the tension.
The 1:1 date between Young-ho and Hyun-sook also proceeded under tension. Hyun-sook named Young-ho as her first choice but also showed interest in other men, confusing Young-ho, who ambiguously stated, "I hope you won't be sad even if I choose Young-sook," making Hyun-sook uncomfortable. Later, Young-sook revealed her complicated feelings, saying, "I felt good, but I was uncomfortable hearing about Ok-soon continuously."
Meanwhile, the date between Kwang-soo and Ok-soon began with a 'dog lover's empathy'. Kwang-soo expressed pride in his profession as a traditional Korean medicine doctor, referring to himself as 'Pyeongchang Lim Young-woong', but Ok-soon suggested talking to Young-sook first, creating subtle tension. Not fully grasping the situation, Kwang-soo returned to the accommodation saying, "I think I'm already in," while drinking 'kimchi soup', bringing laughter.
Young-sik, who had a first impression of being 'zero votes man', revealed his impressive background of being from H High School and K University Business Administration to Young-ja, providing a twist. Young-sik shed tears while sharing a story about his maternal grandmother but still showed a 'son-like' fondness towards Young-ja.
Currently, the triangular relationship involving Kwang-soo, Sang-cheol, and Young-soo around Ok-soon is intensifying, foreshadowing a heated 'Ok-soon War'. The production team has maximized viewers' curiosity by revealing photos of the parents of the prospective marriage couples from Season 29.
The fiery and exciting romance of the Season 29 singles will continue on the 17th (Wednesday) at 10:30 PM on SBS Plus and ENA.
