Channel A's 'Heart Pairing' concluded the 'secondary contract relationship' of 10 residents, as deeper feelings exchanged and delicately portrayed the romance scene traversing 'sweet and salty,' eliciting explosive reactions from viewers.
On the 23rd broadcast of Channel A's dating program 'Heart Pairing' episode 11, the residents of the 'Seoul Pairing House'—Sang-yoon, Woo-jae, Je-yeon, Ji-min, Ji-won, Chan-hyung, Chang-hwan, Chae-eun, Han-ul—met with 'the last catfish lady' Sua, forming a 'full set of 10' while depicting the final story of their 'secondary contract relationship,' heightening the excitement.
On the first night of the 'secondary contract relationship' start, at the 'Pairing House', a social gathering for those who failed to match, Ji-min and Ji-won, Woo-jae and Han-ul was set up. During this gathering, Han-ul couldn't hide her complicated feelings towards Ji-min. Ji-min, in turn, experienced a sudden drop in tension immediately after witnessing the scene of Sang-yoon and Je-yeon entering the 'Pairing House' as a contracted couple. After that, Ji-min kept a reasonable distance from Je-yeon, who was sitting closely with Sang-yoon, exhibiting a deflated demeanor. Lastly, Chang-hwan arrived with Sua, his 'contract relationship' partner and the last resident of the 'Pairing House.' After greeting the nine existing residents, Sua naturally led the atmosphere by guessing each person's occupation and couldn't hide the 'interest' in Ji-min, creating a peculiar vibe.
The next day, the residents kicked off the official date on the second day of the 'contract relationship,' Saturday. Chang-hwan and Sua delved into deep conversations about each other's 'pairing book' at a charming cafe. While discussing mature topics about love and marriage, Chang-hwan shared his memories of his father appearing healthy in a yellow background in his dream days before his passing and showed tears, sharing profound feelings with Sua. Later, they continued the 'market date' while trying out 'taste pairing,' as Sua ordered food and Chang-hwan naturally accepted the bag, sharing snacks, revealing a couple-like chemistry.
Chae-eun went grocery shopping early in the morning for Chan-hyung, who had to work early on Saturday. When Chan-hyung returned during lunch, she said, 'Take a break for a moment' and set the table with a neat meal of spicy braised chicken, omelet, and wild chive soybean stew, showcasing the charm of a 'good wife.' Moved by Chae-eun's thoughtfulness, Chan-hyung expressed, 'You were truly amazing, my ideal type,' and added, '(Chae-eun's strong sisterhood) feels very similar to the way my brother and I grew up. I think our mother would really like you,' openly showing his affection. The five MCs noted, 'The two have entered a deeper stage through this contract relationship,' and 'There are signs of impending marriage,' smiling with satisfaction.
Sang-yoon and Je-yeon headed off for a winter 'camping date.' While shopping together and traveling to the campsite, they stopped by a rest area, saying, 'We're so hungry,' and bought snacks. Je-yeon actively showcased her 'reversal' by feeding Sang-yoon snacks while he was driving. Once they arrived at the snow-covered campsite, they briefly enjoyed 'fire-gazing' side by side, then played their favorite playlist, indulging in a romantic date. It was revealed that the two shared similar tastes in 'K-pop playlists' and 'drama' preferences, resulting in an unexpected 'media pairing.' Sang-yoon cooked soybean paste stew with the 'home-made soybean paste' he brought, impressing Je-yeon's taste buds and increasing his appeal once again. After their camping date, Je-yeon became conscious of Sang-yoon's closeness, displaying a 'heart flutter,' which triggered an explosive reaction in the studio of 'This is bad.' Meanwhile, Ji-min and Ji-won from 'S Electronics' enjoyed a date with 'grilled intestines and soju,' sharing their true feelings. After a few drinks, Ji-min revealed, 'I really like Je-yeon,' showcasing his pure affection, while the two exhibited a supportive 'older brother-younger sister' chemistry.
On the night of the second day of the 'secondary contract relationship,' the male residents returned to the 'Pairing House' for a talk time. During this gathering, Chan-hyung declared, 'I've been discovering new charms in Chae-eun every time, so I've somewhat decided the direction of my heart,' announcing a commitment to solidifying the love line. Meanwhile, Chang-hwan confessed, 'Sua has shaken me a lot over these two days; it was such a huge shock that I considered 'marriage'.' On the last day of the 'contract relationship,' he had a 'horseback riding date' with Sua, feeling a dreamlike excitement. As the end time approached after three days of dates, Chang-hwan stated, 'I will try not to let go of the thread of fate,' expressing his determination, and Sua responded, 'I will go for 'domestic travel' with another person from now on.' Chan-hyung and Chae-eun enjoyed their last date by putting together ‘blocks,’ expressing, 'This really felt like a contract relationship that resembles me,' looking at each other with warm gazes. Han-ul shared her honest feelings during the last date with Woo-jae, saying, 'I want to spend time with Ji-min. I want to see if the good feelings I felt during our Italy date continue.'
Sang-yoon and Je-yeon had their final date at an analog-feeling Chinese restaurant, enjoying lunch together. The two expressed, 'It’s sad the weekend is passing by so quickly,' in unison, then moved to a cafe to continue their unfinished discussions. At this time, when Sang-yoon asked the direct question, 'Did you actually feel that you wanted to date?' Je-yeon answered, 'Yeah,' revealing an increasing interest. However, when Je-yeon asked, 'What about you?' Sang-yoon gave an ambiguous answer saying, 'If I said I don't want to date, that would be a lie,' and added, 'Rather than a specific moment, I always felt that you listen well.' Yoo Jong-sin commented, 'It doesn’t seem like the answer Je-yeon was expecting,' while Park Ji-sun noted, 'There is a lack of specificity in the response.' With an awkward atmosphere suddenly rising between them, they concluded their 'contract relationship' in a somewhat subdued mood, facing a 'sticky ending.'
As focus shifts to the love lines reorganized by 'secondary contract relationships,' the chaotic night of the 10 residents who returned to the 'Pairing House' after ending all 'contract relationships' and the 'postcard pairing' scene continuing in Italy can be seen in episode 12 of Channel A's 'Heart Pairing' at 10:50 p.m. on the 30th.
