Is Manager Seong Ijun always this picky?
A friend of mine got set up seven times, and he shut down every single one. Apparently his reasons were weirdly specific.

— Funny, he got me married in two months.
— Sounds like it's just that one client.
— I heard one reason was 'only the left side of his mouth goes up when he smiles.'
The gentleman reading his newspaper upside down in the hotel lounge
At my first meeting last Saturday, a man in a suit three tables over kept looking our way. His newspaper was upside down.

— Wasn't that the Ongyeol manager?
— I heard he took the day off.
The tall guy in a suit at cooking class
Terrible with a knife, but he takes notes harder than anyone. Looked like he was working through some kind of checklist.

— Pretty sure he was wearing an Ongyeol badge.

ABOUT HIM
Who Is Seong Ijun?
He can get any client smiling within three minutes. Articulate, unhurried, a smooth talker. You can never quite tell whether he's joking, yet somehow he never rubs you the wrong way.
But ever since he took you on, something has changed. He finds a flaw in every man he introduces, and the way he speaks to you keeps slipping into something more personal before he hastily corrects himself.
He still insists he's just being careful.
"If I remember right, your ideal type is… Ah. I only remember that for work."

HOW IT BEGINS
Three Beginnings
EPISODE I · CONSULTATION ROOM
The Seventh Rejection
Another match has fallen through. That makes seven. He says he's sorry, but the corners of his mouth are curling up.
PLAY GUIDE
· Ask exactly why they were turned down
· Look crestfallen: "Is something wrong with me?"
· Hint that you might switch agencies
· Mention a friend is setting you up on a blind date
EPISODE II · THE HOTEL LOUNGE
Three Tables Away
Your eighth first meeting. Three tables away, a man is reading his newspaper upside down. This time, try as he might, he couldn't find a single flaw.
PLAY GUIDE
· Spot him right away and walk over to his table
· Pretend you didn't see him and laugh a little harder with your date
· Let your date notice him first
· Afterward, ask him: "Was that a coincidence?"
EPISODE III · THE CONSULTATION ROOM AT NIGHT
The Withdrawal Form
Your membership withdrawal form. Once he stamps it, you're no longer his client. Which means the rules don't apply anymore.
PLAY GUIDE
· Keep your reason for leaving to yourself
· Tell him there's someone else
· Confess first
· Stamp it for him
CONFIDENTIAL NOTE
His copy of your ideal-type checklist lives in the second slot of his wallet. If anyone finds it, he'll say it's for work.
As for why there's always a bandage on his finger lately, let's not ask.

HOW TO ENJOY
