'Love War' couple who eventually made different choices.
'Love War' episode 2, broadcast on the night of June 30, focused on the conflict between a shaman girlfriend in her second year and her boyfriend who stayed by her side. Special diplomat actress Ji Ye-eun appeared, honestly sharing her real-life love episode with her boyfriend, dancer Bata, adding to the resonance. Episode 2's paid household viewership recorded 1.9% nationwide and 2.0% in the Seoul metropolitan area, showing an upward trend. In particular, the peak viewership per minute in the Seoul metropolitan area reached 1.4% among men and women aged 20-49, and 2.9% among paid households, proving intense interest (based on Nielsen Korea).
'On this broadcast, an unusual atmosphere prevailed even before the official request began. After leaving a strong impression with just a short highlight video, Kim Hee-cheol remarked, "Episode 1 was mild," and sighed. Ji Ye-eun, as the original "unjustly treated one," chose to side with her boyfriend alongside Lee Hyo-ri. On the other hand, the male MCs took the girlfriend's side, foreshadowing a tense clash of opinions from the start.
'First, the boyfriend's side was revealed, showing a life spent entirely under his girlfriend's permission. From having his trip to a karaoke room discovered immediately after doing it secretly, to the story of an unidentifiable lump appearing on his head after a fight, the studio was stirred. In particular, the boyfriend revealed, "I tried to run away about three times, but I was caught every time," and "They said, 'You can't escape now,'" evoking sympathy.
'Next, in the car heading to the prayer place, a trivial argument escalated into an emotional battle. Between the two who could not narrow their differences, the girlfriend eventually shouted, "Please just accommodate me," and even showed symptoms of hyperventilation. Watching this, Seo Jang-hoon looked perplexed, asking, "How can I take sides on this?" while Ji Ye-eun also expressed frustration, saying, "It's right to break up," and "If I thought of him as my younger brother, I'd be so angry."
'However, once the woman's side was revealed, the atmosphere completely turned. During a meal, the boyfriend, provoked by the girlfriend's single remark, "Come to work, you too," relentlessly pressured her for a full three hours. As harsh words like "You're caught," and "Are you being difficult properly today?" continued, Lee Hyo-ri could not hide her shock, saying, "Your eyes have changed," and "I feel betrayed."
'The two's nerve-wracking battle continued in the studio. As the boyfriend kept explaining while watching the video, the girlfriend could not control her emotions, saying, "Why are you so aggrieved?" and "Stop talking and just watch," eventually shedding tears. In response, Seo Jang-hoon struck a blow, saying, "This is a truly pointless 'Love War.'"
'After a long back-and-forth, the time for the final choice arrived. After pondering for a while, the boyfriend expressed his desire to continue the relationship, saying, "I want to try harder and get back together."
'However, the girlfriend chose to break up, unable to bridge the gap between her life as a shaman and the two of them. She shed tears, saying, "I'm sorry for taking a few months from your life, and I hope you do well." The MCs, watching the conflicting choices, could not easily find words, and 'Love War' episode 2 concluded.
'Love War' episode 3 is scheduled to convey the intense love negotiation between an extreme T boyfriend and an extreme F girlfriend, along with special diplomat Lee Jun. It will be broadcast at 8:50 p.m. on the 7th.
