Chapter 382: "Old Jin's Appointment" (Part )
The first game session is over.

Kim Jong Kook's ultimate means of transportation is a van + renovation artist Song Ji Hyo.

There's not much to say about the renovation.

I fixed my hair, sprayed some perfume, and changed from a sporty style to a gentleman style.

But it is precisely because Kim Jong Kook rarely wears formal clothes except at award ceremonies.

This caused Lee Kwang-soo and others to scream and shout when they saw the transformed Kim Jong-kook.

Faced with everyone's selfless flattery, Kim Jong Kook also took several selfies in a rare show of bragging.

The transformation is complete.

Then the dating session began.

The first step is to go to the destination to find the female guest. After picking up the female guest, they go to the restaurant together to have dinner.

On the way, Kim Jong Kook will get some clues to guess the true identity of the female guest.

The quality of the meal is determined based on the time taken and the number of correct and incorrect answers.

In the process of answering the questions, he couldn't guess correctly no matter how hard he tried.

The quality kept going down, and finally lunch became a vegetable salad...

Compared to Kim Jong Kook who was on his way to meet his blind date, Kim Ki-Hyun had already arrived at the restaurant to set up the equipment.

As for the scene of their meeting, it was Luo Yingxi who led the team to shoot.

What’s quite coincidental is that the coats the two wore when they met today were the same color.

Walking together, they look like a couple.

Seeing this scene, the "Love Advisors Group" also started to make a noise.

"Oh, this picture looks so perfect."

"Yeah, the height difference seems to be suitable."

“I feel like it can be done.”

……

At the restaurant.

After learning that Kim Jong Kook and Jessi were about to arrive, Kim Ki Hyun took the intercom and said:

"Attention all teams, filming will begin in thirty seconds."

"The cameraman should pay attention to close-ups of some characters, especially their expressions, and make sure to capture them perfectly."

"Sound recording team, carefully check the guest's sound recording equipment to ensure that the sound can be recorded clearly."

"Adjust the lighting again. Make sure the light hits their faces when they sit down."

"receive."

After each group responded, Jin Qixuan walked aside and observed the captured images through the camera's display screen.

At this time, the atmosphere among the people in the car was also very good.

As soon as Jessi appeared on the stage, she was warmly welcomed by the love army advisors.

Then they started to gossip and asked all sorts of questions, such as how many people were in the family...

In this way, the group arrived outside the restaurant while laughing and joking.

Song Ji Hyo quickly instructed Kim Jong Kook to get out of the car and go to the other side to open the door for Jessi.

Upon hearing this, Lee Kwang-soo quickly reached out to stop Jessi who wanted to get out of the car by herself.

Seeing this, Fatty Jia and Chun Pang also started to make a noise:

"Wow, this is really the first time I've seen Jong Kook open a car door for someone else."

"It seems like Jong Kook is serious this time."

Faced with this situation, Jessi was rarely shy.

After Kim Jong Kook opened the car door for Jessi, the group walked towards the restaurant in a mighty manner.

Jessi was also very polite and bowed to greet all the staff present.

After the two protagonists went on a "date".

The "Love Advisors Group" came to Jin Qixuan's room and watched their date together.

At this time, inside the restaurant.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two also started talking about getting to know each other.

Kim Jong Kook and Jessi know each other, but they are not as familiar as Kim Jong Kook and Song Ji Hyo.

"I have no experience with normal dating because I started my showbiz life very early, so please forgive me if there's anything I don't do well."

At the beginning, Kim Jong Kook treated people with sincerity.

Hearing this, Jessi smiled and said she didn't mind.

At this time, noticing a gift box and an envelope on the table, Kim Jong Kook opened them.

[The box contains a gift for Jessi]

After Kim Jong Kook opened the gift box, he found a set of YSL's Queen of Night skin care essence underneath.

"Wow, this essence is endorsed by Jin Qixuan, right? It's hard to buy."

When Jessi saw the gifts, she couldn't stop smiling.

Not only can you get an appearance fee, you can promote new songs, you can have food to eat, you can date, and you can get gifts.

This show is awesome!!!

At this time, Jin Qixuan also said to the intercom:
"Pay attention to the close-up of Jessi's expression."

Upon hearing this, the camera crew quickly moved the camera closer to take a close-up of Jessi.

After receiving the gifts, the two began to try to talk about common topics.

Although Kim Jong Kook is nagging to men, he is still relatively reserved when it comes to women.

On the other hand, Jessi has a carefree personality and says whatever she wants.

This kind of personality is very common in the United States, but it is relatively rare on the peninsula.

Therefore, Jessi has been subject to various criticisms since her debut.

They say she is pretending, acting pretentiously, and trying to attract attention.

But friends who have known Jessi for a long time know that this is just Jessi’s personality.

Very straightforward, but also very sincere.

Just say whatever you want to say. I will never say bad things about you behind your back.

However, when the members of the Love Advisors Group saw that Jessi had taken the initiative in the conversation, they all shook their heads and sighed.

Because everyone knows.

Compared to passionate and unrestrained women, Kim Jong Kook prefers gentle, charming, petite and cute women.

For example, Yoon Eun Hye and Moon Geun Young.

Especially when the two talked about food, everyone knew that this blind date was in trouble just by looking at Kim Jong Kook's expression.

Kim Jong Kook's eating habits are so clean that they are outrageous.

On the other hand, Jessi, in addition to the necessary body management during work, accepts all kinds of calorie bombs during rest time.

After hearing her description of her eating habits, Kim Jong Kook thought about it and tried to adapt to her dietary preferences.

“I also love to eat meat (but not oily).”

"Really? I don't really like vegetables."

"what……"

Instantly, Kim Jong Kook failed to control his facial expression and began to talk about health science:

"I had a bad stomach when I was a kid, but after I ate more vegetables, my stomach got better..."

"Oh? So what kind of food does Jong Kook-oppa like to eat?"

Jessi asked back with a smile.

"I'm…I'm not a very picky eater."

Kim Jong Kook said one thing and meant another.

When the military advisors in the viewing room heard this, they exploded instantly.

"Isn't this a lie?!"

"He's a super picky eater! He won't eat anything delicious!"

"Wow, someone who even has to wash kimchi actually said something like that!"

“Every restaurant he eats at will close down!”

"..."

At this time, the first dish in the restaurant also came up.

Vegetable salad...

Looking at the vegetables in front of her, Jessi was stunned.

Wasn’t it agreed that it would be Western food?

Why is it vegetable salad?

Then, when the waiter brought the bread.

Kim Jong Kook finally explained the reason.

Hearing this, Jessi nodded, poked the bread with a fork, and asked:

"Isn't this bread buttered?"

"Ah... spreading butter would be unhealthy."

“What about olive oil?”

"That will also turn into fat and accumulate in the body."

"..."

At this moment, Jessi looked at the vegetable salad and dry bread in front of her, and remembered that she had deliberately not eaten much before, and suddenly felt very wronged.

Of course, a date with nothing but a salad and dry bread would be too much.

As for the quality of the second main course, it is decided by the members of the Love Advisors Group by avoiding the paper cup mines game.

In the empty area outside the restaurant, the prop team placed paper cups, and Lee Kwang-soo, Song Ji-hyo, Chunpang and Jiapang were blindfolded to challenge. Each person could only take five steps, and the four of them would be considered successful if they stepped on no more than five paper cups in total.

If you succeed, everyone will eat top-quality steak; if you fail, it will become fried pork chops.

Fried pork cutlet is an absolute red light food for Kim Jong Kook.

In order to let Kim Jong Kook and his friend eat top-quality steak, Song Ji Hyo carefully tried various trial steps and finally passed without stepping on a paper cup.

Then, Chunpang's performance also impressed everyone. With his excellent memory and flexible steps, he avoided the paper cup minefields one after another without stepping on any of them.

After Chun Pang passed, it was Lee Kwang Soo's turn.

However, compared to the cautiousness of the first two, his style suddenly changed and he rushed forward completely based on his feelings.

He kicked a paper cup with one foot each, which stunned everyone.

At this moment, Kim Jong Kook, who was watching from the side, was cursing very dirty.

Fortunately, Lee Kwang-soo has long legs and he crossed the minefield in just three steps.

Finally, the pressure fell on Fat Jia.

At this time, Song Ji Hyo, the only woman in the military advisory group, was also teaching Jia Pang the secret.

"You'll be fine if you follow Chun Pang's pace just now."

Hearing this, Fat Jia also observed the arrangement of the paper cups and then took the first step.

However, he overestimated his own strength and stepped on the paper cup.

The scene instantly became chaotic.

Fortunately, Fatty A felt the pressure of Kim Jong Kook's aura and adjusted himself in time, and he took the next few steps steadily.

Although he stepped on one paper cup, the total number did not exceed five, so the challenge was successful.

Seeing that he could eat steak, Kim Jong Kook smiled.

But when the steak came, he couldn't laugh anymore.

The steak served by the waiter had signs of being grilled, but the middle was pink.

Three mature...

Seeing this, Jessi tried to ask:

"Do you want the chef to fry it again?"

"Um... no, I like this kind of food."

After that, Kim Jong Kook forked up a piece of beef with blood on it, with a look of ready death on his face, and then...

"vomit!"

“Well, it’s a bit…”

Looking at Jessi's concerned expression, Kim Jong Kook waved his hand and explained:
"It's a bit too cold."

"?"

Jessi looked confused.

Too cold?
Isn’t this steak freshly fried?
Why is it cold?

Seeing Kim Jong Kook gritting his teeth to eat the medium-rare steak, the military advisors in the viewing room also laughed like crazy.

"Is the reason for the coldness the blood? Hahaha!"

“When he was eating, he felt like he was going through a lot of things, hahaha!”

"..."

However, although everyone was laughing, they found that Kim Jong Kook and Jessi's conversation was not getting to the point at all.

On the contrary, it was more like a simple meal and chat between friends.

This made Lee Kwang-soo very anxious.

He didn't even eat, but went downstairs and made strange noises to try to attract Kim Jong Kook's attention, and then used the traditional prompter to tell him to go upstairs.

However, Kim Jong Kook saw it, but pretended not to see it and ignored Lee Kwang Soo.

This made Lee Kwang-soo so anxious that he stomped his feet wildly.

If he hadn't been so confused, he would have competed with Kim Jong Kook in height.

Fortunately, Kim Jong Kook couldn't stand Lee Kwang Soo's endless interference, and finally apologized to Jessi and followed Lee Kwang Soo upstairs.

As soon as he went upstairs, Kim Jong Kook was criticized from all sides by everyone.

"Jong Kook, why do you only talk about yourself during blind dates?"

"Why are you talking so much about health? She's here for a blind date, not to see a doctor!"

"Yeah, there's absolutely no need to talk about filial piety when traveling with family!!!"

Compared to their complaints, Lee Kwang-soo was more tactful and said:
"Jong Kook, your blind date conversation is a bit off topic... I think we should talk about some deeper topics, like when was your last relationship, what type of boys you like, etc."

"Yeah brother, stop chatting like friends."

Upon hearing this, Jiazhen also echoed it repeatedly.

Listening to everyone's complaints, Kim Jong Kook defended himself:
"No, shouldn't I first make it clear what kind of person I am?"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan could no longer bear it and said:

"No, uncle, if you are in this state, then our show may take three days and two nights to shoot."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

After a while, the emergency meeting ended.

Kim Jong Kook returned to the restaurant to continue chatting.

He lived up to everyone's expectations and finally asked Jessi what her ideal type was.

"For me, my ideal type changes frequently as I age, so I don't have a fixed type."

Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook laughed and agreed:
"Yes, the ideal type of the female friends I know also changes very quickly. They usually change it to the male lead of the popular TV series at that time."

However, just when everyone in the viewing room thought that the atmosphere was gradually escalating and moving towards the main topic.

Jessi suddenly asked a fatal question:
"I remember you said Yoon Eun Hye was your ideal type in a program. What program was that?"

"I uh, well...well, if you ask me who among celebrities is closer to my ideal type, I always say Yoon Eun Hye."

"If we really get along, it might not be like that. I've met people I like before. For example, after getting along with you, Jessi, you will become my favorite person."

"Even if I meet other beautiful female artists, I still think you are the most beautiful. This is what they call beauty in the eyes of the beholder."

Kim Jong Kook, who was originally stuttering, spoke more and more fluently, and finally made a direct and affectionate confession.

When everyone in the viewing room heard Kim Jong Kook's confession, they all exclaimed, "Wow!"

They were just complaining about Kim Jong Kook's slow progress, but now they want Kim Jong Kook to slow down.

The progress is too fast, they can’t keep up!

"This paragraph just now seems to be a line from a drama, right?"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan defended Jin Zhongguo:
"No, Lao Jin won't spend money to watch paid programs. He won't even buy tickets to watch the movies I star in. He will only watch it if the movie is free or someone gives him a ticket."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

However, after laughing, they discovered a problem.

Jessi doesn’t seem to be interested in Kim Jong Kook’s confession...?
Even the shy expression seemed to be acted.

However, no one said it out loud.

After all, it's a show.

Time passed quietly amid everyone's jokes.

In a blink of an eye, it's night.

This blind date is about to end.

After a day of spending time together, Kim Jong Kook and Jessi became much closer.

At least, that's what it looks like in the eyes of the public.

The last task is to play the claw machine.

The four members of the Love Advisors Group + Kim Jong Kook each have one chance, and the challenge is considered a success as long as they catch one doll.

If you succeed, you can take a luxury cruise, watch the night view of the Han River, and have a candlelight dinner.

If they fail, the man and woman will ride on a yellow duck scooter to swim in the Han River...

At the beginning, Lee Kwang-soo volunteered to go first.

After all, in "My First Brother", the character he played, Dongjiu, was super good at catching dolls.

Seeing this, everyone cheered him on.

As expected, he didn't even aim at the doll.

However, he gritted his teeth and insisted that there was something wrong with the claw machine.

Afterwards, Song Ji Hyo, Chun Pang, and Jia Zhen came on stage one after another.

However, without exception, all failed.

Seeing this, Kim Jong Kook, who realized that happiness was in his own hands, took a deep breath, stepped forward to insert the coin, moved the grappling hook, and pressed the button.

Under Kim Jong Kook's manipulation, the grappling hook grabbed the doll, then moved smoothly to the exit and fell.

"wow~"

Seeing this, everyone cheered happily.

The combination of candlelight dinner, yacht and night view of Han River is bound to be romantic.

“I didn’t expect the night view of Yeouido to be so beautiful.”

On the yacht, Jessi sighed.

Seeing this, Kim Jong Kook struck while the iron was hot and sang a love song - "The Last Love".

However, just as he opened his mouth, a subway passed over the bridge.

The rumbling sound undoubtedly interrupted Kim Jong Kook's affectionate expression.

However, on the bright side, such coincidences are rare.

At this point, the recording of the first episode of "Golden Axe's Love Story" was successfully completed.

Finally, we also had to film a segment showing Jessi's opinion of Kim Jong Kook after a day of spending time together, and whether she was willing to get to know him better.
