Sun-hee, it can happen!

Tara disagrees with Sun-hee and explains that a friend has just gotten engaged to a man she met in the personals.

Tara starts reading some of the ads to show Sun-hee how many great men are listed.

He’s probably a total Romeo. “Romantic,” “casual dating” — there’s no way he’s sincere.

Sun-hee, however, has a different interpretation of the ads.

Finally, Sun-hee admits to dating through the personals — and explains why she won’t try it again!

… I did answer a personal ad once.

Yeah? What happened?


1. Tara is reading the personal ads in a newspaper.

2. Sun-hee thinks the personal ads are a good way to meet

men.

3. Tara agrees with Sun-hee about how useful the ads are.
