"There's no time to play together because of taking photos"... 3-hour wait and 200,000 won desserts, a date with an SNS-addicted girlfriend

A scene has been captured that poses a fundamental question about whether the purpose of a date is time spent together or moments captured for records. In a highlight video from JTBC's 'Love War', the image of a woman who endures long waiting times and excessive spending for SNS authentication shots is portrayed alongside a man who feels fatigue during the process.

A 3-hour wait and 200,000 won desserts

The place visited by the cast was a location that required a wait of nearly 3 hours. It was a highly popular place with about 60 waiting teams, and the situation continued where they had to wait for nearly 180 minutes in the sweltering weather. The woman continued the visit with expectations for the taste of the place, but the man expressed difficulty due to the long wait continuing in the heatwave.

The schedule after the meal was also not smooth. This was because the cost of purchasing desserts for the purpose of taking photos reached the 200,000 won range. The woman repeatedly tried to purchase desserts, citing differences in taste, but the man expressed reluctance regarding the spending and the schedule, saying they had already visited many places. Beyond simple consumption, this became a spark for conflict in that the flow of the date was aligned with one person's desires.

"It's not playing together, it's just taking photos"

The pattern of the date was skewed toward 'time for recording' rather than 'time spent together.' Instead of staying in a specific place, the woman prioritized movement to take photos. She repeatedly allocated time for the results of the photos, such as wearing sunglasses or changing clothes.

In this process, the man remained in the role of unilaterally helping with the photo shooting. In the conversation in the video, the question was raised as to whether "it's not the two of them playing together, but just unilaterally continuing to take photos," as the individual act of shooting occupied the main flow of the date rather than the interaction between the two. The fatigue and bewilderment felt by the man can be read as a passage showing how SNS-centered dating methods affect the emotional connection between lovers.
