WHO ARE YOU REALLY?
KEY TRAITS » Sociable, sensitive, independent, determined, communicative, emotional, gregarious
PERSONALITY » Sookchae is the kind of person who knows how to switch off and have fun, simply experiencing life and everything it has to offer. Her wild bursts of enthusiastic energy is never a surprise to those who know her, especially her closest friends. She has good people skills and instantly knows how to present her ideas in a convincing way, at least in her own opinion. She can handle both small talk and deep, meaningful conversations, although her definition of small talk may be somewhat unusual – she might want to steer the conversation towards ideas rather than weather, gossip etc. Altruistic and cooperative, she does her best to be empathic and friendly in every situation. She can get along with nearly everyone and has a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She is very imaginative and open-minded. She enjoys trying out new things and does not hesitate to go outside her own comfort zone if necessary.
Sookchae is very sensitive and cares deeply about other people’s feelings – this can cause her a lot of stress sometimes as people sometimes look towards her for guidance and encouragement, and she just cannot always say “yes”. She has a tendency to lose interest quickly if her project shifts towards routine, administrative matters – she may not be able to stop her own mind from wandering off, which has gotten her into trouble more than once. She can't stand being micromanaged or restrained by rules and guidelines. She wants to be seen as highly independent individuals, master of her own fate and future. She has a habit of looking for hidden motives and tends to overthink even the simplest things, constantly asking herself why someone did what they did and what that might mean.
With a favoritism for harmony, she does her best to avoid conflict wherever possible. She is a natural team player, trying to get along with everyone. She is a social and friendly individual who has no difficulties with small talk or following other social rituals. She also tends to have a strong need to belong, e.g. by playing an active role in the local community. She has often shown a strong dislike towards conflicts and criticism – she gets very defensive and hurt if someone (especially a person close to her) criticizes her habits, ideas or favorite traditions. Sometimes, she needs to know that she is liked and her efforts are valued. Consequently, she may try fishing for compliments or try to attract other people’s attention

SHE WILL BE LOVED
LOVE INTEREST » Do Kyungsoo
BACK-UP » Kim Junmyeon, Lu Han
PERSONALITY » Do Kyungsoo isn't exactly the kind of person you'll have the easiest time explaining the persona of. He acts a bit like your stereotypical mother; clean, organized, considerate, cautious and stern. It sounds so easy, yet there is more to him than a feminine figure trapped in a male body. He is energetic and can be seen as childish, but he is also quiet and a bit of a background kind of guy. He is frank and straight to the point, not someone to hesitate in order to "save some time." Though he may look calm and collected, he is the jealous type who will feel a sense of possessiveness if someone "threatens" his loved ones or his property. He has a hidden anger deep down and can be triggered, but is mostly a sweet and gentle guy.
HOW YOU TWO MET » Sookchae met Kyungsoo in the shopping area of Sunny Vale. Kyungsoo was heading down there to get a few ingedients for his mother when he sees her and some of the other "city kids" hanging around the place. He had seen her around before, but didn't know anything about her other than that she wasn't from around here. Yuni, who was with Sookchae there, decided to introduce them to one another as a result of encountering him there. When they shook hands, Sookchae couldn't take her eyes off of his; she really liked his eyes. He noticed her staring, and she was quick to apologize for her behavior. He thought she was cute and found her a little ditzy at first sight. She thought he was adorable. Yes, adorable.
RELATIONSHIP » It didn't long for the two of them to discover the things they had in common. They were both more fond of peace than chaos and had a thing for cooking. Sookchae likes to show off her skills in the kitchen and often invites him to have him try some of her dishes and original recepies. Kyungsoo appreciates her and is glad when he finds that she is more than what his first impression told him. He finds her a good person to talk to and likes to listen to her when she speaks and vice versa. They have a good relationship. Perhaps not the level of friends, but they have mutual interests and are both some of the calmer members of their respective communities.
OUTCOME » Kyungsoo and Sookchae become one of those couples that need a lot of development in order to get anywhere. As they are both careful when it comes to relationships, they take a while to progress over from semi-friends to lovers. They share a connection and find comfort in the other's presence, but in the end, they find that they are better off as friends. Despite that, they do keep on going on dates and spending time together, just for the sake of it.
THE INTERVIEW SEGMENT
"WHAT WAS YOUR REASON FOR AGREEING TO GO ON THIS TRIP?"
» I... have no idea. Baekhyun is a good friend of mine, and I've found him to be a good person. So when he told us about his hometown and the wonderful things about it, I had to see it with my own eyes!
"WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF SUNNY VALE?"
» It was kind of mundane, to be honest. I had expected this beautiful location with a grand forest surrounding it, but I can't say I was disappointed. I was a bit more... taken aback by the lack of anything extraordinary.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF AN ADVENTURE TO YOU?"
» An adventure, to me, is an opportunity to discover a new side of yourself and be able to explore your own limits.
