The sweet dating preferences of the participants in 'Pursuing Old Encounters' Season 2 made viewers' hearts race.
On the broadcast on the 30th of last month, KBS Joy, KBS2, and GTV revealed the results of the first affection selection, and conducted 1:1 dates among people with common interests. In particular, the dating preferences of Lee Hyung-cheol and Wax, as well as Park Kwang-jae and Kang Se-jung, who lit the 'mutual candle,' brought unexpected excitement.
Wax, who chose a yacht date, got to meet Lee Hyung-cheol as expected. The two naturally formed a rapport, sharing the reality that it's not easy to meet new connections on the way to Cheongpyeong Lake and discussing their personalities. Lee Hyung-cheol expressed his affection for Wax, saying, "While we were chatting in the car, they listened really well," adding, "I liked how we communicated like friends."
Upon arriving at Cheongpyeong Lake, the two enjoyed a yacht date while feeling the refreshing breeze. Lee Hyung-cheol, who holds a yacht license, showcased his charm as he took the wheel. Wax couldn't take her eyes off him, repeatedly complimenting him with "You're so cool," and the two savored their freedom, shouting loudly together.
Through the yacht date, Lee Hyung-cheol shared, "It felt warm. I sensed an unexplainable charm that made me feel they would take good care of me." Wax conveyed her excitement, feeling that Lee Hyung-cheol seemed "like a pure boy" while he was driving the yacht. There is interest in whether the two, who have grown closer through their dating preferences, will again light the flame of their connection.
Another 'mutual candle' couple, Park Kwang-jae and Kang Se-jung, chose a bicycle date. Upon Park Kwang-jae's arrival, Kang Se-jung smiled brightly and said, "I felt the anticipation for the date." Park Kwang-jae also revealed that he was "too nervous thinking, 'Isn't this fate?'" about having Kang Se-jung as his date.
However, their nervousness was short-lived. Park Kwang-jae and Kang Se-jung shared a friendly atmosphere based on their common profession as actors and their different dating styles.
While enjoying their date, a directive for 'holding hands for three minutes while walking' arrived. Checking the mission details, Park Kwang-jae expressed his surprise, saying, "My heart is racing too fast!" He then took Kang Se-jung's hand and placed it on his chest to show his heartbeat, causing excitement among viewers.
The sight of the two starting to walk hand in hand resembled a scene from a romantic drama. Park Kwang-jae confessed, "It feels like we're filming a melodrama, and I really like it." Kang Se-jung shared in a candid interview, "I was very nervous. I could feel that this person was also nervous." Park Kwang-jae also expressed his honest feelings, saying, "It's been a long time since I felt such emotions. I was so nervous that I wondered if something was wrong with my heart."
Park Eun-hye and Lee Gi-chan, who chose a camping date, warmly rekindled their connection after 20 years. Lee Gi-chan admired how Park Eun-hye, a 'camping expert,' easily set up the tent, saying, "It was surprising and cool." Park Eun-hye commented, "It's comfortable when there's a man around," to which Lee Gi-chan responded, "From now on, come with me," showing a powerful side of himself.
Shin Bong-sun and Lee Sang-jun, who chose a tennis date, displayed a cute 'chemistry' amidst their clumsiness. Despite Lee Sang-jun's awkward tennis skills, Shin Bong-sun continued the compliment parade, noting that Lee Sang-jun's efforts to learn tennis were endearing.
Next week, the first dinner at the 'Pursuing Old Encounters House' after finishing their dating preferences will unfold. In the teaser released after the broadcast, a strange tension flowed between Lee Hyung-cheol, who told Wax, "Have a little to drink," and Lee Sang-jun, who urged, "Don't eat too much because I'm worried," capturing viewers' attention. As time passes and they grow closer, expectations rise regarding how the intricate feelings of the 'Pursuing Old Encounters' members will develop in the future.
Meanwhile, 'Pursuing Old Encounters' Season 2 airs every Monday at 9:50 p.m. on KBS Joy, KBS2, and GTV.
