Chapter 22: The Timing of Love: Episode 0 Unleashed

As filming officially commenced on the first day of their residency, the cast members gathered to watch Episode 0 of ‘Timing of Love.’

The aim was to prompt further reflection on the interactions seen in the video by having them text someone they had a good first impression of immediately after viewing.

Even with some cast members having anticipated this, the plan proceeded without a hitch.

Consequently, the episode aired on the JSJ channel at 9 PM on Saturday, simultaneously becoming available on the OTT platform, Utopia.

Since it was originally produced for pre-release, Episode 0 of ‘Timing of Love’ was also uploaded in full to YouTube for promotional purposes.

And the result?

[NEW! #1 Timing of Love]

[Real-time Trending Video #1]

It was precisely this.

Episode 0 and the trailer, meticulously crafted, made PD Jang Jae-wook’s phone buzz incessantly. ‘Haha, even replying to all these messages will be a task,’ he mused.

He had, in fact, spent many sleepless nights worrying that failure would spell the end of his career, especially after receiving an unexpectedly massive production budget.

Perhaps that was why, among all the programs he had produced, this was the first time spending money felt so gratifying.

“Please, let it continue like this.”

PD Jang Jae-wook clasped his hands together.

He earnestly wished for the program to follow the signs of success, becoming a massive hit—no, an absolutely colossal one.

I’d been seeing countless ads for cast recruitment for a while, and it’s finally out. I’d completely forgotten about it, but then it popped up on YouTube. What kind of trailer is an hour and a half long??

That’s when time started to disappear for me….

Thrilling, electrifying, exhilarating! Give me more, more, more, more!

Can meeting someone without knowing anything about them really be this exciting?? Doing the first meeting as a hidden camera segment in a dating show was genuinely fresh.

Everyone who hasn’t seen it, you absolutely must^^ I can’t be the only one waiting!

: Dating shows’ typical trait: cast members’ scandals erupting. Lol.

– Those kids appearing there are legends in a different sense.

– Check this out (link)

– Aren’t those all just rumors? Nothing official has been announced yet.

: Are Alphas also more handsome and beautiful?

– Nah, nothing like that. It’s probably just pheromones and physical traits.

– Hahaha, maybe they’re exceptional in other ways, too, lol.

– That’s sexual harassment, you know.

– ??

[Did you know our Director is on a dating show?]

My colleagues all seemed excited without me, and I thought they were ostracizing me. Turns out, it’s because our Director is on a dating show, lolololol.

I was eating lunch when someone suddenly asked if I’d seen ‘Timing of Love,’ and it startled me;; What even is that…?

[Comments 10]

: Don’t be so late to the party.

– The company community exploded that day; didn’t you see it?

– But aren’t you actually being ostracized? Looks like you didn’t get a single messenger notification.

– When the secretaries gather, it’s seriously prime gossip material.

[Best] [Confirmed Cast Information for ‘Timing of Love’]

Ma Won-ho, 27 / Alpha

Occupation: Film Director, Film Title: , Audience: 7 million.

(link) He looks exactly the same in the production presentation video.

Only son of the renowned film director Ma Seong-woon, who won an O***ar award.

+) Since Ma Seong-woon is a dominant Alpha, Ma Won-ho might also be a dominant.

Kang Hae-il, 27 / Alpha

Occupation: Managing Director of Kumgang Group. In other words, just a third-generation chaebol.

Rumors are rampant, even within employee-verified communities and the Kumgang Group itself, lol.

+) Most of the Kumgang Group are dominants, so he’s highly likely to be a dominant Alpha, too.

Chaeyeon-woo, 25 / Omega

Occupation: Social media influencer with 1.1 million followers.

+) There’s talk of him being a dominant Omega, but it’s not confirmed. He might have come on the show to prove it.

Only half of them are confirmed like this; the stories for the other three are all different, so I didn’t include them. Even I could verify with graduation photos now, lol.

Personally, I’m curious about who ends up with whom, plus whether they’re dominants or not.

For now, my pick is Hae-il ♡ Chaeyeon-woo.

[Comments 4890]

: Director, why are you behind the camera!!!!

– The article back then was hilarious, lol. A director more handsome than the actors….

– Is this what genetics are? Is this what genetics are?

– Please, I hope he has ten more children.

: Honestly, I thought it was a drama, right?

– If they cast like that, they’d probably get flak.

– Nah, their faces are the plot, so I’d watch even if the content was trash.

: But is being a dominant really that important?

– They’re already in their own world, but this feels like another level beyond that.

– I’ve seen programs with one dominant Alpha, which is rare, but I’ve genuinely never seen a dominant Omega.

: Those shipping Hae-il and Dohwa, quietly rise.

– Clatter-thump-thump…

– No, how can you ship Chaeyeon-woo?? When Lee Dohwa and Kang Hae-il sit together, their visuals are seriously incredible…!! I’m betting my life on this.

: Lol, now I’m showing this to all my friends. There’s bound to be at least one person here who’s your type.

– Honestly, I fell in love with Lee Dohwa at first sight.

[Am I the only one over-invested in this?]

Hae-il and Dohwa constantly running into each other at the cafe. So cute, so cute.

Won-ho catching Yeon-woo at the restaurant. So cute, so cute.

I know there are a lot of people screaming ‘fake,’ but honestly, with this cast, there’s no need for manipulation.

If you disagree, you’re wrong.

[Comments 345]

: Cut! Good job, everyone~

– Better than most actors.

– Don’t stir up trouble.

– But seriously, lately, am I the only one seeing an unusually high number of Omega or Alpha actors??? They’re all the same people, but they appear in so many shows.

: All of this is a coincidence??? Don’t lie.

– Seriously, it’s the kind of detail that drives you crazy.

– I’m already a believer ㅜ I think I even have a favorite now.

[But why is the Kumgang chaebol]

Why is he appearing on a dating show? Is he a loafer? Or is it for amusement?

[Comments 30]

: They say his secretary is a triple threat: principled, perfectionist, and elite.

– If my boss looked like that, lol, I’d probably be trembling…

– ??: ‘Why is this done so shoddily?’

– He just overwhelms you with his gaze. His face screams cold-blooded.

: Looking at other posts, it seems he might have appeared for amusement? He lacks nothing.

– His personality still needs to be assessed.

– Since it’s the JSJ channel, Kumgang will probably handle all the editing.

: They say he finished all his work before going.

– Then that’s king-level respect.

[Chaeyeon-woo’s smile is so beautiful]

He probably doesn’t even know the cameras are there, but he smiles so beautifully every time he’s on screen. He’d look good next to any Alpha.

[Comments 12]

: I felt it when I saw his Starstagram, but he has idol vibes.

– Why isn’t he debuting? Why isn’t he debuting?

– Lol, he probably earns good money from ads even now.

[I like gentle handsome guys ㅜ]

Their visuals are truly healing. I don’t know the details, but both Chaeyeon-woo and Jae-hyun seem to have good personalities, so I’ll root for them.

[Comments 34]

: Wow, my taste is seriously identical to yours. Let’s add Woo Sori here, too.

– I didn’t include him because I was only picking one by one, but he’s great too.

– A ‘sunshine character’ is truly everyone’s protagonist, lol.

This is seriously hilarious, lolololol. Ma Won-ho, Kang Hae-il, and Lee Dohwa are all from Seoun University, so Everytime is going crazy. The comments there are legendary too; you should check them out later.

[Comments 6789]

: I’m not a Seoun University student… How can I see it…?

– It’s not too late even now!

– Lol.

– Just look at the screenshots floating around.

: Seoun University’s prestigious reputation is still alive and well.

– Isn’t the interview weight 80%? Haha, they probably just admit based on looks.

– If Lee Dohwa returns, we’ll be able to see him. Lucky them.

: Everytime has never been this hyped up before, lololol.

– Seriously, it’s more active than during the festival.

: With those faces, how could they not be school promotional models? If it were me, I’d hang their faces on the school gate, haha.

– That’s why you can’t do it.

[HOT] [Hey Dohwa, it’s your TA]

You haven’t changed at all.

Only your hair got a little longer.

You didn’t eat well back then either, and

You still haven’t gained any weight.

Eat something!!!

I keep telling you, you need to gain some weight.

That’s why you’re not growing taller.

This is your third and final year of leave, so

You know you have to return next year, right??

Also, did you change your phone number?

The professor called, and it said the number didn’t exist;;

If you see this, please contact the department office.

: The reason he didn’t eat well???

– Because their intentions were impure, lolololol.

– True, I’d probably be super tired too. Couldn’t tell if the food was going into my mouth or my nose.

: Wow, that’s my junior.

– Wow, that’s my senior.

– From now on, this Literary Creation Department is mine. Only I can see it.

– Why were you the only ones who knew, you bastards.

: There’s a book by Lee Dohwa in the school library. It’s awesome.

– You can never borrow it. So I already bought it.

– He’s the professor’s favorite student, so everyone in the Literary Creation Department has seen it.

: Lolol, if the person himself sees this post, it’ll be amazing.

– But why did they write it like a poem? So funny.

– Nah, at that level, it’s an ex-lover.

: It must be super stressful to come to school.

– Ah!~ I should go to school often next year~!

– Literary Creation Department, prepare yourselves.

[HOT] [My cheat code has been revealed to the world]

Male god, treasure, birth myth, baby cat, elegant Dohwa, legendary PoXemon.

He has no less than 1291 other nicknames.

He was already a celebrity and a ‘cheat code’ within the department. Due to the nature of the department, they didn’t interact much with other majors, so things were kept quiet during the semester, and there was no chance of him appearing on Everytime.

Honestly, there were a few sighting reports, lol, but they just got buried.

Anyway, if Lee Dohwa was coming, the professors were OK, the undergraduates were OK, and the TAs were OK.

The Literary Creation Department had an unprecedented ALL-attendance end-of-semester party, lololol. They really begged and persuaded him to come once, but he never came again after that.

I miss you.

But now I’m not the student council president, so it doesn’t matter, hehe.

[Likes 9872 Comments 5630]

: Seriously, no conscience, no conscience, no conscience, no conscience…

– They say he’s even prettier in person ㅠㅠ I want to see him.

– There are so many reviews, I’m genuinely curious.

: Some kid posted that he has a personality problem??

– The guy who hit on him by offering to buy him food and got rejected?

– The guy who got arrogant trying to buy him drinks and got rejected?

– The guy who kept asking him to hang out after every class?

– Wow, that neatly summarizes the controversy.

: Some classmates supposedly had a surefire strategy for Lee Dohwa, lol.

– What is it??

– Not telling, lol.

– I’ll kill you.

– ;; Why did it suddenly get so brutal?

[I’m subscribing to Utopia for 1 month on Friday]

I probably won’t be able to watch the live broadcast, so I’ll catch the replay, lol.

[Comments 20]

: So many people have subscribed just to watch ‘Timing of Love.’

– I’m surviving this summer with this.

– Please, let Episode 1 be fun too.

: By the way, what’s the broadcast schedule? Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 9 PM to 11 PM.

– There’s nothing to watch on JSJ these days.

– It’s a huge meal.

– Give me more food.
