Singer Lee Hyo-ri offered advice to her boyfriend's girlfriend, who was experiencing severe mood swings ahead of his departure for a working holiday.
The third episode of JTBC's dating reality show "Love War" (directed by Kwon Hae-bom and Park Eun-young), which aired on the 7th, featured a couple preparing to depart in 18 days as special guests alongside all-around entertainer Lee Jun, who served as a special diplomat.
In a VCR capturing the girlfriend's perspective, she was shown dating her older brother's friend. The two had been in love for five years before finally starting their relationship three years ago, but they faced challenges due to their vastly different personalities.
Unlike the girlfriend, who is an extreme F (feeling type), the boyfriend is an extreme T (thinking type). His blunt responses left her feeling hurt. In particular, his harsh words toward her, such as "idiot" and "act like a human being," silenced the negotiation diplomats. When the boyfriend claimed these were expressions of affection, Lee Hyo-ri sharply retorted, "Your boyfriend is as dumb as a dog."
Beyond this, there was another major issue: the boyfriend was soon to depart for Australia on a working holiday. While the girlfriend hoped they would get married after he returned from his trip, the boyfriend stated, "I have no immediate plans to get married," causing her distress. In response, Lee Jun expressed empathy, saying it felt like "his heart was being squeezed," and shared his own dating experiences.

Meanwhile, even the negotiation diplomats—Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Hee-chul, and Lee Jun—were left speechless by the girlfriend's obsession with video calls, which totaled 13 per day and 51 over a week. Her excessive expressions of affection also sparked heated debates among the diplomats. When she mentioned kissing her boyfriend about 50 times a day, Kim Hee-chul exclaimed in shock, "Even a woodpecker can't kiss 50 times a day." Additionally, the girlfriend's unpredictable mood swings became a catalyst for conflict. Her sudden shift from affectionate conversation to sulking, along with tears that could erupt at any moment, left her boyfriend exhausted.
Lee Hyo-ri empathized with the girlfriend, saying, "I've experienced wild mood swings myself, and I know the hardest part is being the one involved." She added, "It seems like she wants to be considerate and act maturely by encouraging him to go on a working holiday, but it's difficult for her."
Lee Hyo-ri further advised, "It seems like the girlfriend has illusions about love. There is no relationship where you receive as much as you give. She shouldn't feel hurt over such things. The more you beg for love, the further away it gets—that's human nature. It would be better if he could make her so anxious to be apart from him that she can only focus on him for a year." Her queen-like mindset brought smiles to everyone.
Adding to this, Seo Jang-hoon offered frank advice as an elder: "Do the exact opposite of everything we've seen so far! You need to change your way of thinking if you want to be happy yourself."
Although the "working holiday couple" succeeded in negotiating the frequency of contact after the boyfriend's departure, they failed to reach a consensus on the timing of marriage. Despite the breakdown in negotiations, the two decided to continue their relationship. After much deliberation until the end, the boyfriend resolved to pursue a long-distance relationship, stating, "He is someone I will spend my future with; shouldn't we only see the good sides?" The couple then performed the Catch-Catch Challenge alongside Lee Jun, bringing laughter to everyone.
