[MediMement News Kim Soo-hyun, reporter] The love line of 'Solonara Lot 32,' drawing attention day after day through a 'divorced couple special' format, is suddenly shifting course right from the first date.
In ENA and SBS Plus’ variety program 'I AM SOLO (I Am Solo),' airing on the 24th, viewers will see the Season 32 divorced men and women face an unpredictable romantic upheaval as they mark the second night after entering Solonara.
Young-cheol’s change of heart drives 'Jodok Jeongsik'—Young-jae’s tears… an all-out talk late at night
The focus of the episode is Young-jae’s tears. Young-cheol, who went straight for Young-jae during the first impression choice, delivered a surprise reversal by choosing Young-sook instead during the first-date selection. Left alone to eat 'Jodok Jeongsik' jajangmyeon, Young-jae was hit hard by the unexpected turn of events, and her eyes finally welled up, sparking pity.
After the date, Young-cheol returned to the lodging and, feeling sorry, called Young-jae outside to hand her vitamins and a hangover remedy. Young-jae also chose to move straight ahead after deep thought. Young-jae said, "I was also feeling some liking, so this choice hurts," and after laying out her honest feelings, she also sharply probed whether that means Young-cheol had already solidified his mind for someone else among the other cast, heightening the tension.
Young-ho’s 'gumiho flirting' that mesmerizes Jung-sook… a thrilling shift in romantic atmosphere
On the other side, meanwhile, a pink, fluttering mood erupted. Young-ho, who went on the first date with Jung-sook, someone he had liked for a while, revealed his reverse charm in a shy manner—so nervous that he couldn’t even properly meet her eyes.
When Jung-sook asked, "Do you usually have trouble making eye contact?" Young-ho answered, "When I look at Jung-sook, it feels like my whole body is melting." He then threw out an audacious line of flirting: "It seems like I’ll end up being swept away by you, just like a gumiho that steals hearts between people." Even after Jung-sook’s surprised follow-up, he drove in the point again by saying, "Your visuals and charm match up to the level of a gumiho," leaving viewers watching closely on how the two people’s love line will develop.
The highly realistic dating reality show 'I Am Solo,' where divorced men and women search for true love, has drawn syndrome-level popularity with divorced-couple specials such as Seasons 10 and 16. Season 32 is also continuing the box-office-like hit by recording a nationwide average viewership rating of 4.4% for the immediately preceding episode. The intense romantic war of Season 32 airs every Wednesday at 10:30 p.m.
