SBS 'Monggeul Counseling Center' Lee Hyori goes so far as to spend her own money to provide special support for O Ji-hyun, the "human vitamin," to succeed on her second blind date.
SBS Special "My heart is monggeulmonggeul—Monggeul Counseling Center" (hereafter "Monggeul Counseling Center," directed by Go Hye-rin), which is creating a healing sensation in a flood of dopamine, is about creating the first romances of young people with developmental disabilities. As a new challenge by Go Hye-rin, who won the Baeksang Arts Awards grand prize for "Hakjeon and then Back Thing Kim Min-ki," entertainment industry couple Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon join as the "counseling center director" who fully supports the dating of young people with developmental disabilities (hereafter 'Monggeul') dreaming of love, drawing strong interest even before the first broadcast. Along with this, the first episode, released on the 8th (Sun), received rave reviews and rose to No. 7 on Netflix's "Today in Korea TOP 10 series" ranking (as of 3/12), increasing word of mouth day by day.
On today's (15th) broadcast of "Monggeul Counseling Center" episode 2, three 'Monggeul'—O Ji-hyun, Yoo Ji-hoon and Jeong Ji-won—who had their first fluttering and clumsy blind dates last week, will go on a second date with upgraded dating skills, raising expectations. O Ji-hyun and Jeong Ji-won meet new blind date partners, and Yoo Ji-hoon is scheduled to have an after date with Jeon So-yeon, whose earlier date ended disappointingly because of poor condition.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon leave the counseling center to carry out expedition mentoring to fully support O Ji-hyun and Jeong Ji-won, who are taking meaningful challenges by meeting new partners. Lee Hyori helps O Ji-hyun, who has never shopped alone in her life, with "blind date look shopping," and Lee Sang Soon helps plan a trip for Jeong Ji-won, who is heading out on her first trip without family, for a "Nami Island date."
Above all, interest grows as Lee Hyori reportedly conveyed her special affection to O Ji-hyun by giving her personal items and gifts she bought with her own money. Earlier, news that Lee Hyori had given her winter coat to O Ji-hyun caused a big sensation. On the day, Lee Hyori not only gave the coat but also gifted a necklace, saying, "If you wear a pink necklace, love will come true," cheering on O Ji-hyun's second blind date. As Lee Hyori put the necklace around O Ji-hyun's neck and prayed, "Please let our Ji-hyun have a beautiful love. Please let her meet a good man," O Ji-hyun responded with a sunlit smile, saying, "It's a lucky necklace," according to reports.
On the same day, Lee Hyori also taught O Ji-hyun special flirting skills. While telling O Ji-hyun layering styling tips, Lee Hyori advised, "If you like the person, roll up the sleeve slightly so the inner T-shirt color shows," sharing a sense-filled know-how. Having received Lee Hyori's support and tips in full, curiosity soars whether O Ji-hyun can successfully carry out her second blind date on episode 2 of "Monggeul Counseling Center."
Meanwhile, SBS Special "My heart is monggeulmonggeul—Monggeul Counseling Center," which is gaining attention as a real love-growth story of young people with developmental disabilities that is more thrilling and warm than "Extraordinary You," will air episode 2 on the 15th (Sun) at 11:05 p.m.
