Kim Ryun-gi Opens Up About Guilt in Dating on 'Love Against Time'

Kim Ryun-gi shared his honest concerns.

On the August 17 broadcast of SBS's "Love Against Time", the second round of dates took place.

That day, Kim Ryun-gi, who stayed behind alone at the house, had his first one-on-one conversation with Kim Na-young.

He confessed, "I feel like I'm still not fully matured. Meeting someone when you haven't fully healed is tough, and I feel a sense of guilt. I kept thinking, 'If the person I'm meeting were dating someone healthy, they could have a much more fun and happy relationship. Why would they bother with someone like me?'"

He continued honestly, "You can't ignore basic things like meals that couples usually have. Of course, you wouldn't go out and drink yourself to death with a partner, but coming in with that kind of lifestyle already part of the equation, it's a concern I keep facing. Those worries don't go away; they actually keep getting brought up, so I think I've been overthinking it. Especially after going out once yesterday, those feelings became really overwhelming."

In response, Kim Na-young shared her own experience, saying, "If anything, we worry way more than other people do. Turns out the other person wasn't even thinking that way at all."

She continued, "I was letting my imagination run wild all by myself, oh goodness. You're already physically exhausted as it is. Hearing things like that made me realize that I was really getting too far ahead of myself and torturing myself," offering comforting words to Kim Ryun-gi based on her own experience and drawing attention.
