This simple yet significant gesture marked the exciting beginning of their journey together, setting the stage for their blossoming relationship.
Love at First Sight for the Actor
The moment he saw her in person was clearly etched in his memory, a pivotal point in their story.
After we messaged each other, I offered to pick her up from her work. I also wanted to know if she looked similar to her pictures. When I drove to where she was, I saw her with her hands in her pocket. At that moment, I felt as if everything was in slow motion.
She had a high-collar coat on, and she was stunning. Her eyes were so pretty. She looked exactly like she did in her pictures. Usually, I would have opened the door for her, but I lowered the window and stared at her for a long time. Because I was in a trance, I didn’t even know that I hadn’t unlocked the doors.

The actor continued to dote on his wife, revealing that he simply couldn’t take his eyes off her during their very first meeting – a true testament to love at first sight! This instant connection clearly sealed his fate, confirming his feelings from the get-go.
We went to a restaurant. While looking at her, I felt like my mind was in a daze. We had difficulties finding the restaurant, but the food wasn’t very good. We both took a bite and then looked at each other, and her eyes seemed to become round when she looked at me, and she was so pretty. I don’t know, maybe it was the music, but she was so pretty.

Later in the show, when the hosts naturally probed about the proposal, Lee Sang Yeob sweetly confessed that the entire experience felt like an overwhelming, beautiful blur. His deep emotions clearly took over, making the moment magical yet hard to pinpoint in exact detail, highlighting the intensity of his love.
His heartfelt recollection painted a picture of pure joy and profound commitment.
The second time we met was Christmas Eve. I had stayed in constant contact with her for three days straight. The next thing I knew, it was May. I was lost in our romance to the point that I didn’t know how time was passing. She said she wanted to get married in Spring, and I did too. So I called someone I knew to see if I could find a venue, but they were all full. Then, all of a sudden, I got a call, and I was told a couple had canceled.
Unfortunately, at the time I was driving to see my girlfriend. I told her that we could get married on March 24 and she said yes. She said, “Eung, okay.” That was how I proposed. Before I knew it I was wiring the deposit to the venue.
