On SBS's 'Child release project - sleepover blind dates,' the qualifications of the blind date men are being revealed in full.
SBS entertainment program 'Sleepover blind dates' is a surreal reality dating show in which 10 single men and women who want to get married and 10 mothers who want their children to marry live together in the same space for five nights and six days, watching their child's romance unfold right before their eyes. Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Yo-won and Kim Yo-han appear as MCs, adding laughter with overinvested reactions. In particular, 'Sleepover blind dates' not only got off to a successful start with an average first broadcast rating of 2.7% and a peak per-minute rating of 4.0% (Nielsen Korea, Seoul metropolitan area, households), but also charted at No. 6 in the 'Korea Netflix top 10 series' category upon release, drawing attention as a dark horse in the dating show field.
In the second episode of 'Sleepover blind dates,' airing today (the 8th), a 'self-introduction time' that both the blind date participants and the mothers pay attention to will unfold. On the day, as the mothers of the blind date men promote their sons, flashy qualifications ranging from the professional title of 'lawyer' to 'owning a home in Seoul' and 'graduate of S University' startle the blind date women and their mothers. When the lawyer blind date man appears, the mothers light up with bright eyes and launch nonstop questions, from 'dating experience' to 'ideal age difference' and 'the woman's desired financial status,' and Lee Yo-won says, "See? I knew mothers would like professions that start with the character 'sa' (scholarly professions)," causing the MCs to burst into laughter, according to reports.
Immediately after the dramatic self-introduction time of the blind date men, a 'date request time' that could not be seen in existing dating shows arrives. An unprecedented 'mom pick date selection' unfolds, in which the mothers of the blind date women match their daughters with dating partners. Without consulting the daughters involved, the dating partners are decided solely by the mothers' choices. Faced with mothers' one-picks that change 180 degrees before and after the self-introductions, the MCs cry out "Oh my god" in shock, and the blind date women cannot hide their bewilderment at the mothers' sudden choices. When an unexpected unanimous favorite man emerges, Seo Jang-hoon exclaims, "This is amazing," and Kim Yo-han rakes his hair and shouts, "Mothers, why are you doing this~" provoking laughter, according to reports.
Meanwhile, the candid and fiery conversations of the blind date men and women draw attention in the episode. In particular, when Jo Eun-na-rae tells Seo Han-gyeol, "I definitely want to have children," revealing her plans for pregnancy and childbirth, Seo Jang-hoon wonders aloud, "Is that something people who have known each other for less than a day should be talking about?" and is taken aback by the blind date men and women's conversation that seems like a runaway marriage-bound train.
With the turmoil foreshadowed by the differing one-picks of the blind date men, women and their mothers, curiosity rises for the main broadcast of 'Sleepover blind dates.'
