In this paper, we analyze a K-drama aired by the Korean TV network SBS in 2016, , as a case study of the application of the Tie-Up Theory to a romantic narrative as a form of simulation of human mating processes with social cognition valence. We find that this case provides us with an example of a mating process where the choice of the male partner by the female lead character does not privilege the one that should be preferable on the basis of the standard prediction of the experimental research on human mating. This discrepancy is a signal of a basic limitation of experimental research, that highlights the subjects' preferences for abstract potential partners but is not able to fully account for the mechanisms that lead to the choice of a specific partner in a specific mating interaction. We argue that the narrative simulation viewpoint provides insights that are complementary to those of experimental research, and that a more comprehensive theoretical approach, such as the one offered by the Tie-Up Theory, may be helpful to account for both perspectives.
在本文中，我们分析了韩国SBS电视网于2016年播出的一部韩剧，作为将捆绑理论应用于浪漫叙事的案例研究，这种浪漫叙事是对具有社会认知价值的人类交配过程的一种模拟。我们发现，这个案例为我们提供了一个交配过程的例子，其中女主角对男性伴侣的选择并没有优先考虑根据人类交配实验研究的标准预测应该更可取的那个。这种差异是实验研究基本局限性的一个信号，实验研究突出了受试者对抽象潜在伴侣的偏好，但无法充分解释在特定交配互动中导致选择特定伴侣的机制。我们认为，叙事模拟观点提供了与实验研究互补的见解，并且一种更全面的理论方法，比如捆绑理论所提供的方法，可能有助于兼顾这两种观点。
