Love Lines Tangle on 'I am Solo' 28: Second-Choice Dates Spark Major Twists
The dating reality show 'I am Solo' (나는 솔로) on ENA and SBS Plus witnessed a dramatic upheaval in its 28th season following the 'second-choice dates' by the solo women.
During the episode aired on the 8th, Jung-hee, who chose Young-ho for a 1:1 date, confessed, "This place is so strange. I'm starting to like two people at once?" This sentiment was mirrored by Young-ho, who admitted his growing interest in Jung-hee, adding complexity to his feelings for Ok-soon.
Meanwhile, Young-sook, on a date with Kwang-soo, shared a difficult past involving an illness diagnosis. A sudden health scare led her to the emergency room, where Kwang-soo's care impressed her. However, Kwang-soo revealed a surprising detachment, stating, "My rational feelings have disappeared."
Elsewhere, Young-cheol and Soon-ja engaged in a heartfelt conversation about long-distance relationships. Jung-sook reaffirmed her primary interest in Young-soo, despite a reunion with Kyung-soo.
Young-soo found himself swayed by Hyun-sook's flirtatious advances during a group date, but struggled to set clear boundaries with Ok-soon and Young-ja. His seemingly indifferent reaction to Young-sook's emergency hospitalization left her visibly disappointed.
Hyun-sook ended her interactions with Sang-cheol due to concerns about his readiness for children and later initiated a breakup with Young-soo, surprising many.
The solo men's second-choice selections also generated intrigue. Young-soo chose Young-sook, Young-ho chose Jung-sook, Young-sik chose Young-ja, Young-cheol chose Soon-ja, Kwang-soo chose Young-sook, Sang-cheol chose Soon-ja, and Kyung-soo chose Ok-soon. The preview teased further drama, including conflict between Young-sook and Jung-hee, and Hyun-sook making advances towards Young-cheol, Young-sik, and Kwang-soo, heightening anticipation for the next episode.
Korean netizens reacted with a mix of concern and amusement. Comments like 'Young-soo, what's wrong with you?' and 'Poor Hyun-sook, giving up first' were common. Many expressed disappointment with Young-soo's behavior and curiosity about Hyun-sook's next moves.
