‘Heart Pairing’ once again shook the viewers ‘emotions.At the center of it all were Sang-yoon and Je-yeon.The two, who went shopping together, shared snacks at a rest stop, and shared music and a fire at a snow-covered campsite, showed the epitome of a’ ripened romance ‘with their rare chemistry throughout this second contract relationship.

Je-yeon actively showed off her skinship by handing snacks to Sang-yoon while he was driving, and Sang-yoon captivated Je-yeon’s taste buds by making a stew with homemade soybean paste that he prepared himself.The two, who have similar playlists and tastes in life dramas, soon fell into a strange state of synchronicity, and the studio watching them was abuzz with reactions like, “Are they really dating?”

But is it the paradox of love that the more emotions ripen, the more cautious one becomes? At the Chinese restaurant, the last date location, when Sangyoon asked, “Have you ever really felt like you wanted to date?” Jeyeon answered “yes” without hesitation, but Sangyoon’s response was strangely loose.Following the ambiguous words, “It would be a lie if I said no,” his explanation, “Rather than a specific moment, I felt that you were a good listener in general,” did not reach the response Jeyeon had expected.

The atmosphere of the conversation they were having at the cafe suddenly became heavy, and thus the two people’s second contract love ended with only a subtle aftertaste.The romantic ending of the exciting camping trip ended up being an ‘uneasy ending’.

The stories of other couples were also colorful.Chae-eun went shopping in the morning before work and prepared a hearty lunch, impressing Chan-hyung.Chan-hyung expressed his feelings directly, saying, “You’re my ideal type,” and earnestly expressing his feelings by saying, “My mother would like it too.”

During a date with the newlywed Soo-ah, Chang-hwan showed deep emotions such as showing chemistry like a married couple and shedding tears while recalling his dreams with his father.Soo-ah showed her interest in Chang-hwan by saying, “I’ll go on a domestic trip at least,” and the two completed the ‘right before marriage registration’ atmosphere by going on a horseback riding date on the last day.

Jimin had a deep conversation with his contract partner, Jiwon, over soju and tripe, but his heart was still with Jeyeon.He couldn’t hide his wavering emotions as he continued to confess, “I really like Jeyeon,” and Jiwon, who watched from the side, cheered him on with ‘brother-brother chemistry.’ On the other hand, Ha-neul honestly said, “I want to spend more time with Jimin,” foreshadowing a new choice during her date with Woojae.

The emotional lines of the 10 entangled residents were unpredictable until the end.With the temperature difference and speed of their relationships, they all returned to the ‘pairing house’ and their emotions entered a new phase.The next episode is expected to feature ‘postcard pairing’ in Italy.Where will each person’s heart end up? Channel A’s ‘Heart Pairing’ will once again pull out the card of fate on the 30th at 10:50 PM.
