Korean Dating App: Song Tae Seop's Choice

In the 8th episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'The Efficient Romance of Single Men and Women,' Lee Eui-yeong (played by Han Ji-min) chose Song Tae-seop (played by Park Sung-hoon), signaling a shift in the love triangle. Lee Eui-yeong confessed her feelings to Song Tae-seop, saying "I like you," and sealed their progress with a kiss. The drama had piqued viewers' curiosity about which of the two men, Song Tae-seop and Shin Ji-soo (played by Lee Ki-taek), with their contrasting charms, Lee Eui-yeong would choose, and ultimately, her heart leaned towards Song Tae-seop, portrayed by Park Sung-hoon.

With 8 out of a total of 12 episodes aired, it's too early to consider the love triangle completely resolved, as there are still four episodes remaining. In particular, there is high interest in how Shin Ji-soo, played by Lee Ki-taek, will develop emotionally. Whether he will gracefully step aside or show his process of letting go until the end are the remaining points to watch.

Following the drama's broadcast, praise for its harmless and positive atmosphere has been pouring in. Viewers are welcoming the choice of excitement and calmness over sensational plotlines, commenting, "It's nice that there are no villains or troublemakers," "It's heartwarming without stress," "It's fresh and sweet without being melodramatic," and "It's a healing drama that keeps you smiling."

The reaction to Park Sung-hoon has also been fervent. The character of Song Tae-seop, contrasting sharply with his intense villainous image in 'The Glory,' has become a '​wild card' for him. Viewers are responding positively to his new acting, saying, "Jeon Jae-joon is gone," "He finally succeeded in an image transformation," "Tae-seop seems weak but is strong; he's charming," and "He's clumsy yet cute." The reaction is even stronger because an actor who was typecast as a villain is showing unexpected cuteness in a romance drama.

Han Ji-min's lovely aura is also cited as a factor that enhances the drama's immersion. Comments like "Is Han Ji-min a hamster?" suggest that her unique, sweet, and gentle presence enriches the drama's texture. Viewer responses like "When is Saturday coming?" and "I'm so excited" show their high affection for the work.
