Love Sparks Fly on 'DolsingNmosol': Lookalikes Find Connection Amidst Dating Drama

On the latest episode of MBC Every1 and E Channel's 'DolsingNmosol,' aired on the 21st, viewers witnessed the first dates of the contestants at the Love Boarding School, along with the initial impressions of the divorced women.

The episode featured a date between Dujonku, a divorced woman resembling actress Go Yoon-jung, and two inexperienced bachelors, Maengggongi and Rookie. The date highlighted the awkwardness of the bachelors, with Dujonku grilling meat and placing orders alone, while Maengggongi focused solely on eating. Rookie, on the other hand, repeatedly muttered to himself, "What should I say?" Observing this, Kim Poong chuckled, "This is a tough situation," while Chae Jung-an sighed, "It's endlessly cute but frustrating."

In contrast, the date between divorced woman Camellia and bachelor Sugumjihwa was a different story. Sugumjihwa displayed fine dining manners by checking if Camellia was right-handed and selecting easy-to-eat dishes for her. Camellia questioned, "You're not a bachelor, right?" Watching their chemistry, Nucksal remarked, "Now it feels like a dating show." However, after the date, Sugumjihwa shocked everyone by revealing his interest in Camellia was "zero," leaving the MCs in disbelief. Kim Poong commented, "None of the couples are going as expected."

Back at the dormitory's common room, the contestants engaged in conversations to get to know each other better. Sugumjihwa received compliments for resembling actor Cha Tae-hyun, while a shy Rookie was speculated to be the youngest.

Meanwhile, bachelor George shocked the MCs by stating his criteria for an ideal partner: "I look at specs, family background, and stamina. I want smart children," planning for marriage and children even before starting a relationship. The conversation soon turned into a history lecture by George, who later claimed in an interview, "I actually held back more than usual," causing another stir in the studio.

The highlight of the episode was the first impression choices by the six divorced women. Sugumjihwa was chosen by Dujonku and Seoul Mouse, while Nakhuayusu received attention from Pingpong and Sunmu, elevating him to the status of a popular bachelor. Sugumjihwa couldn't hide his excitement when chosen by his ideal type, Dujonku, signaling a mutual romance. The interest from Pingpong and Sunmu towards Nakhuayusu hinted at a potential love triangle, adding tension to the show.

Camellia chose Maengggongi, and Firefly picked Rookie. Meanwhile, Hyunmu, who tried to impress with his egg dish, and George, who dominated with his history lecture, faced the humiliation of receiving no votes. Hyunmu expressed his disappointment, saying, "I feel like a defeated soldier. I want to go home." Ironically, it was Seoul Mouse, whom Hyunmu had initially dismissed, who first comforted him. This unexpected gesture of warmth amidst crossed signals could be the seed for another romantic storyline, drawing attention from viewers.
