On TV CHOSUN's variety show "Joseon's Lover," 53-year-old lifelong bachelor Shim Kwon-ho receives dating coaching from Shim Hyun-seop. In the episode airing on the 29th, Shim Hyun-seop, who successfully escaped bachelorhood, has an honest conversation with Shim Kwon-ho. Shim Hyun-seop was once known as the "man who went on 100 blind dates" and has experience marrying through a movie-like romance with his wife.
On the show, Shim Hyun-seop emphasizes the importance of positively accepting what women say, saying, "The reason I was able to marry Young-rim was because of 'Ah, I see~'." He provides detailed coaching to Shim Kwon-ho through various examples. During a dating simulation with Shim Hyun-seop, Shim Kwon-ho throws out a sudden topic, saying, "I like taekwondo more than wrestling." Shim Hyun-seop responds with, "You don't like wrestling?" and the conversation continues.
Shim Hyun-seop, flustered by Shim Kwon-ho's reaction, exclaims, "Ah, I see, that's possible, you should respond like this!" Shim Kwon-ho waves his hand in refusal at Shim Hyun-seop's reaction, rejecting the summoning of 'Aunt Shim.' Afterwards, Shim Kwon-ho repeats Shim Hyun-seop's answers exactly as he continues the coaching. Shim Hyun-seop breaks down, saying, "More than me!" and Shim Kwon-ho expresses sympathy, saying, "Ah, it makes me tear up..."
Shim Kwon-ho confessed that he was afraid to start dating due to low self-esteem. On the show, he participates in a workshop designed for someone like him who is unfamiliar with conversations with the opposite sex. At a pre-meeting where he meets women he had phone calls with, Shim Kwon-ho hesitates for a while at the front door, saying, "I'm scared..." The production team introduces these women as those who played the role of sisters-in-law at Shim Hyun-seop's wedding.
When one of the women, Lee Ji-young, says, "Shim Kwon-ho, you should get married this year too," Shim Kwon-ho responds with a surprised smile, saying, "This year?" During the process of sorting out titles, Kim Yoon-kyung asks, "Since I'm younger than Shim Kwon-ho, can I call you oppa?" Shim Kwon-ho replies, "It's been a long time since I've heard 'oppa,'" and confesses, "I haven't heard that title for years."
When Shim Hyun-seop asks, "Did you not go to gatherings?" Shim Kwon-ho admits, "Even when I went to gatherings, it was all men," and confesses, "I've never been on a blind date or meeting." When told, "Now you have to meet women one-on-one," he firmly answers, "One-on-one is really hard." Shim Kwon-ho says, "I was afraid of being rejected when confessing from the past," and adds, "I was short and thought I was unattractive," creating a poignant atmosphere in the studio.
When Kim Yoon-kyung asks, "If we help, can you do your best for dating or marriage?" Shim Kwon-ho answers, "Of course. I have to try," receiving applause. When asked, "If told what to do, can you follow?" he shows determination, saying, "I can confidently talk about wrestling, but I don't know much about other things, so I have to learn," and adds, "I like learning things I don't know."
This episode will air at 10 PM on the 29th. Viewers are focused on whether Shim Kwon-ho can be reborn as a true lover through Shim Hyun-seop's coaching.
