Kim Jung-young Delivers Cool Yet Insightful Dating Advice in 'Efficient Meeting of Singles'

Kim Jung-young offers cool yet insightful dating advice.

In episodes 7 of JTBC's weekend drama 'Efficient Meeting of Singles', aired on the 21st and 22nd, Kim Jung-young naturally portrayed the role of Park Jung-im, a mother who delivers a sharp yet warm-hearted dating advice to her daughter Lee Yi-young, played by Han Ji-min.

After returning home from a date with Song Tae-seop, played by Park Sung-hoon, Yi-young cautiously asked her mother, "Mom, just out of curiosity, what kind of guy do you think I should date?" Instead of describing an ideal boyfriend for her daughter, Jung-im firmly replied, "Am I the one dating him? If you're not sure enough to choose by yourself, don't date him."

Yi-young, taken aback by her mother's blunt response, muttered, "I asked the wrong person. You never help me," but soon collected herself, saying, "Right, it's my love life. My choice, my responsibility." It was a moment when Yi-young began to find her own answers, guided by her mother's straightforward advice.

In episode 8 of 'Efficient Meeting of Singles', Jung-im's attentive motherly side continued to shine. Yi-young found herself in an unexpected love triangle when she received a confession from Shin Ji-soo, played by Lee Ki-taek, and ran into Song Tae-seop. Flustered, she returned home and told Jung-im she had met a friend. Observing her daughter's expression, Jung-im asked, "Seung-jun (played by Joo Yeon-woo)? Did you get exhausted from working out together?"

In another scene, when Yi-young felt unwell after eating spicy rice cakes and searched for medicine, Jung-im, despite her usual cool demeanor, showed concern, saying, "If it's not there, it's not there. Does your stomach hurt a lot?" She never missed a beat in understanding her daughter's condition just by looking at her face.

'Efficient Meeting of Singles' airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
