Love of youths in their 20s is one which they can't see what lies ahead.
KBS 2TV situation drama 'Hope for Dating' which aired on the 12th concluded with a reunion between Ju Yeon Ae and Cha Gi Dae after parting with their respective partners.
On the second day of broadcast, Ju Yeon Ae-Jung Jin Guk couple and Cha Gi Dae-Choi Sae Rom couple both spent a holiday night in the same pension. They dreamt of a romantic night but it couldn't materialise into reality.
Ju Yeon Ae abandoned Jung Jin Guk who fell asleep after getting drunk on wine and immediately went towards the lighthouse. Because she previously said to meet with Cha Gi Dae at the lighthouse. At the same time, after buying some time Cha Gi Dae went to wait for Ju Yeon Ae at the lighthouse but Choi Sae Rom appeared. Choi Sae Rom expressed her disappointment towards Cha Gi Dae.
She said "It hurts a girl's pride to bring up the topic of marriage first. Give me assurance.". Just like how the romance was oriented towards Choi Sae Rom's preference, she thought that she would receive a proposal during the holiday trip from Cha Gi Dae, whom she liked because of his qualities such as his grades and appearance etc.
Ju Yeon Ae arrived at the lighthouse after Cha Gi Dae had left. She slept at the lighthouse until daybreak. Once again Cha Gi Dae and Ju Yeon Ae missed each other. Then, a sudden reversal appeared. There were 2 lighthouses. Both of them were waiting at a different lighthouse.
Just as Ju Yeon Ae and Cha Gi Dae's meeting began through SNS, there was some gap with the real world. Unlike Ju Yeon Ae who was sick of trivial questions from guys, Cha Gi Dae was having difficulties with Choi Sae Rom who demanded him to act as he deemed fit.
Through both characters, it is evident that men and women had different emphases. Both Ju Yeon Ae and Cha Gi Dae couple had a date in Namsan. Jung Jin Guk requested for other peoples' help to prepare a romantic event. While Cha Gi Dae and Ju Yeon Ae had their first meeting without knowing about each others' identity.
At Namsan, the couples eventually spilled all that they had been accumulating. Ju Yeon Ae revealed to Jung Jin Guk about her frustrations. Jung Jin Guk also confessed everything that he was tolerating all these while. He expressed sadness at how Ju Yeon Ae was always looking at her handphone even when she was with him.
Cha Gi Dae said "I'm going to be married soon. But I'm unsure.". Both of them began to realise that their hearts were shaken. In order to regain their sense of reality, they decided to grow apart. Although they were separated for a while, they couldn't forget each other. Ju Yeon Ae who dreamt of an ordinary romance parted with Jung Jin Guk, while Cha Gi Dae who got tired of reality broke off his marriage with Choi Sae Rom.
Ju Yeon Ae turned her back on Jung Jin Guk who sincerely loved her, she showed apologetic while looking at Jung Jin Guk who was screaming madly, just like how she was in the past. And she grew up even more. She mumbled to herself "My trampled ego was more important than anything in the past".
Ju Yeon Ae and Cha Gi Dae had the intention to confess their hearts when they meet again, but Jung Jin Guk came between them. Just like how Ju Yeon Ae was in the past. At that time Ju Yeon Ae had Jung Jin Guk, and Cha Gi Dae left for their sake.
As time changed to 4 years later, Cha Gi Dae could be seen in a restaurant. There, he reunited with Ju Yeon Ae. Both of them looked at each other with a subtle expression, and the production ended. The conclusion brought to mind a happy ending.

'Hope for Dating', not the END it leaves with an AND…'BoA's rediscovery'
[enews24 reporter Jeon Su Mi]
KBS2 situation drama 'Hope for Dating' has concluded.
'Hope for Dating' drew interest with a topic which will interest anyone regardless young or old, 'romance'. Through incorporating fresh ideas of SNS (social network sites), UCC (user created content) etc reflecting the current trend, it depicts an honest view of romance held by people these days.
Also, sensual visuals and unique dramatics further strengthens the fun of watching. Furthermore, actor Choi Daniel (as Cha Gi Dae) who boasts a perfect synchonisation rate with each of his character, BoA (as Ju Yeon Ae), Im Si Wan (as Jung Jin Guk), Kim Ji Won (as Choi Sae Rom) etc, firmly together as one, the actors presented a perfect triangular relationship showing off their synergy, which also added to the final quality of the production.
In part one of 'Hope for Dating', a variety of episodes unfolded when Ju Yeon Ae (acted by BoA) who longed for love received romance coaching from Cha Gi Dae (acted by Choi Daniel).
Part 2 depicted Gi Dae who felt skeptical when loud and calculative Sae Rom (acted by Kim Ji Won) treated marriage as a complete transaction, and Yeon Ae who got tired of Jin Guk (acted by Im Si Wan) who always acts out of line every time, get attracted to each other and finally meet up in reality after breaking up with their respective partners. Although not in reality, only to be even more attracted to each other, the drama superficially draws out the topic of the psychology of both sexes.
And 4 years later, Gi Dae and Yeon Ae met without knowing of each others' existence; and with the unfolding of that new development the drama concluded. But, unclear if both of them are able to find happiness in the real world, it left viewers lingering with a new question.
Especially, 'Hope for Dating' received extremely positive feedback as it presented a realistic portrayal of the psychology of both sexes through situations that commonly occur in romantic relationships. Some lines made young males and females nod their head in agreement, "What can you gain from winning the person you love?", "Guys don't look behind, in front, or to their sides, undoubtedly they should look towards fulfilling their goals and run towards it", "Dating is pretty expensive", "If you love me, why don't you know?", "You think only girls get hurt while dating?", "A game where the side who loves more loses" etc.
'Hope for Dating' is not just a drama special competing with many big productions in a long-lasting race; instead in the genre of situation drama, it will continue in the direction of a home theatre.
It will progress in the format of a situation drama with fixed characters and a different story each episode. 'Hope for Dating' is a drama with a refreshing form which has been rare to see all these while, concluding in the midst of viewers' extremely good comments, this is not the end but the start.

'Hope for Dating' towards full-length? "Completed script for episode 11..Weekly drama"
"BoA. Choi Daniel lead casts, contemplating broadcasting 1 episode every week..Story of the main characters as working adults"
There is increased possibility of KBS 2TV situation drama 'Hope for Dating', which broadcasted as 2 part pilot and ended with praises, to go on as a regular weekly drama serial.
KBS drama maker director Lee Kang Hyeon revealed to Star News on the 13th "Praises for the acting in 'Hope for Dating', execution of the drama etc received positive evaluations internally" and "currently we are in the midst of discussions regarding a regular serial".
Singer BoA's first local drama starring 'Hope for Dating' aired on the 11~12th, their acting harmony was perfect with BoA as 'Ju Yeon Ae' and Choi Daniel as 'Cha Gi Dae'. An honest depiction of romance story of people in their 20s by BoA, Choi Daniel, Im Si Wan, and Kim Ji Won drew praises from the viewers.
Director Lee also said "But the fact is that viewership is too low to air it in the Wed-Thu mini series timeslot (Episode 1 3.0%, Episode 2 3.2%)" and "We will air it again in another timeslot as a test, more deliberation is needed regarding the viewership rates".
A situation where it is possible to immediately go into full production, director Lee said 'Not counting the 2 pilot episodes which aired, the script for episode 10~11 is already complete" and "As we prepared it with the idea of airing 1 episode a week, the possibility of it becoming a weekly serial like 'Love And War' is high. In this way, we can adopt the format of having new actors every episode, with BoA and Choi Daniel as the leads."
Director Lee said "You can see the university life etc private stories of the main leads from the 2-part pilot." and "In the regular broadcast, over time you can see the romance stories and experiences of the main leads in their working life etc."
In the case that 'Hope for Dating' becomes a weekly drama, it might be aired as a Mon~Thu mini series although there are obvious benefits of being aired on Fri, there is also a possibility of it being in another timeslot.
Regarding that "Although there is no ultimate confirmation yet, decisions regarding 'Hope for Dating' will be made soon".

Hot topic BoA's <Hope for Dating> makeup
On the 13th, Able C&C which operates brand shop Missha revealed that female lead of KBS2 2-part drama <Hope for Dating> and exclusive model of Missha BoA's makeup is becoming a hot topic after the broadcast. In the drama, BoA acted as 'Ju Yeon Ae', a female undergraduate who is highly popular swinging single but bad in the romance department. BoA presented a different side of her as a lovely female undergraduate via a natural makeup look. Missha representatives explained that although the look was not flashy, it created a healthy and bright image enhancing 'Ju Yeon Ae''s sassy and cheery character. BoA makeup-in-charge director Jung Saemmool revealed that the key point of <Hope for Dating> makeup is none other than 'natural' and 'distinct'. After creating a smooth and glow makeup base with 'Missha M prism fitting glow foundation', apply 'Signature dramatic cell luminous pact' with a puff in order to control oil, and the clean skin tone look is complete. Next, apply a coral colour blusher in the centre of the cheeks to look lively, then apply peach colour blusher on the outside of the cheeks to create a bright shadow. Key point of the eye makeup is the curling of the eyelashes. The focus is to create a perfect C curling of the eyelashes using fix mascara and curler. Blend the red gold colour and peach colour from 'Missha signature velvet art shadow (No. 17 Cranberry combination)' and apply it following the line of the double eyelids in order to create a mysterious yet bright look. In order to create a natural eyebrow, skip heavy eyeliner. Instead, apply a thick purple eyeshadow to the front and ends of the eye in order to create a distinct look. Apply long lash mascara to only the roots of the eyelashes so that the lashes will be separated and look natural. Lastly, apply 'Missha signature glam art rouge (SRD 704)' burgundy colour on the inside of the lips as though you are stamping it on, then create a gradation and you're done. BoA usually presents a charismatic and sexy image on stage via a variety of makeup looks. Drawing attention especially in the latest Missha photoshoot 'F/W Belle Epoch limited collection' for a strong image expressed by smoky eye and burgundy lip colour. Different from the image BoA presented previously, she digested the minimalist natural makeup look very well in this drama, and is receiving attention again as a beauty icon.
