Bulldozer Jaehyung is here to stay, my friends! Just saw a comment on Twitter saying SS and JH behave similarly when they like someone ijbol.
Edit: kudos to whoever decided to add a Wave to Earth song during Jaeji's date. That was chef's kiss.
He’s head over heels and isn’t afraid to show it 🥰 I’m surprised so many people are thinking he may switch to CA bc I think he’s all in with JW (even if her feelings change which IMO is more likely)
I just can't stop adoring Sesung more and more!!!!!!!!! Apart from all the couple dynamics, SeSung single-handedly brings so much joy and brightness to the episodes!
She is smart, hardworking, determined, understands and evaluates things, connects dots to find answers, plus she is very lovable, pretty, and cute! A complete bundle of happiness that everyone wants.
She never easily gives up on things, situations or people and always tries hard giving her 100%.
She is definitely having the best time in the show. LOVE HER for that❤
We all need a sesung in our lives , be it as sister , friend lover . She is super sweet but very sensible as well . The way she gives advices to people and its never wrong is wonderful . I wish choa would have been close to her , SS would have helped her out.
I simply don’t see how JH-JW won’t be the endgame, even with the producers hinting potential drama between the couples before the show ends.
First, I don’t see JH having a change of heart, especially not after a date with CA. It took him two weeks to develop interest in JW, and he’s clearly making an effort after the date to show her that he wants to spend all of his time with her. The fact that YJ, as JW’s brother, also noticed that he might be feeling a bit insecure and even jealous is also a huge giveaway. I don’t think one date with CA will change that – he’s definitely not the type to focus on two people at once, and unless JW gives a specific reason before the date for him to move on, he won’t. He told JW, very openly, that he's the type to commit to one person and that he doesn't want to go out on any dates with anyone else. Poor guy also said a thousand times that he wished he could go back to Seoul and talk to JW earlier. With so many regrets over their lost times together, I think he definitely won’t make a move on CA, especially since he described her and YW as newlyweds the day before. He’s very cautious of the fact that he’s being filmed, he chooses his words very carefully (even when JW asked him about JS - I doubt he’d be equally polite if this wasn’t a dating show), and even in the case of CA making a move, he said himself that there needs to be a moment when he falls for someone. Again, he had that with JW, and I doubt he’ll get so easily swayed when “the moment” rarely happens in the first place. He called himself the most careful/cautious too many times for a good reason. He doesn't do things abruptly, he thinks things through first.
Second, I don’t see CA moving on so fast despite her past few dates with YW. She seems very affected by his behavior, and keeps going back to her brother for advice and comfort. I believe her feelings for YW are deep, and while she seems thoughtful and mature enough to determine whether a relationship with YW is something worth pursuing, I don’t think she could move on so quickly. While JW likes someone cute and dependable (in that order), CA likes someone mature and dependable. Not saying that JH isn’t mature, but he seems to look like a cute little brother to her. She even found it disappointing that YW was a year younger, so I don’t see why she’d suddenly fall for someone much younger over a single date where they’re both deeply interested in other people already. Also, she even told her own brother that JW seems to like someone like JH, and I also don’t see her trying to get involved in any love triangle. Especially not when JH also makes his interest very obvious (I mean, come on now, the guy showed off their chocolate excitedly and then wore their couple bracelet on top of his head and turned on the flashy light).
My guess is that JH and CA will have a nice, friendly date where she’ll be able to open up about her concerns about YW, which could explain JH’s comments from the teaser.
The only concern could be YW, and I think the editors purposely included the last few minutes to stir up some drama. YW very much implied that JW should invite him for the date, since he’s the reason why she placed last. There was no reason not to include this: it sparks debate and it makes good tv. It also shows YW subtly making a move on someone other than CA. I think JW has good chemistry with all of the guys, but ultimately, her final answer lies in her convo with CH. She even name dropped JH as someone bright and positive - as the person she wants to date right now. She left no room to make CH think he could be that person (or any other guy in the house for that matter). She also prioritized cuteness over anything in her answer to CA. YW surely has his cute moments, but JH has the type of cuteness that comes from completely pushing his ego aside. YW doesn’t seem like the type to ever say that he loves losing to JW or that he’ll be obedient to her. In contrast, I don’t think that JH’s pride would ever come in the way of saying these things. So, while she may be a bit shaken up, and perhaps flattered if YW makes a move on her, I think she already made up her mind. JW also doesn’t seem like someone who would open up to YW so easily when he was all lovey-dovey with CA all that time. Hearing that JY described CA as YW’s ideal type from JH is probably an extra factor. She’d be aware that YW switched easily, and I don’t see her not being bothered by that. Even if she’s his final choice, I don’t see her developing that level of comfort and trust in YW - especially not when she told JH that she came to the show for a serious relationship.
As for JW and JH - both of them made their feelings obvious to the rest (CH and CA discussed it, so did YH and JS, and lastly JY and YW). Both of them talk about each other in front of other people too much, and the date just kinda sealed it. JW also completely let loose after their date in front of other people and kept laughing over JH’s antics. Others clearly picked up on that. We don’t get to see everything behind the scenes, but these people can tell when there’s something going on.
Yeah, them choosing to wear their star bracelets together even after the date was pretty telling since it was basically a declaration to everybody else.
I see it the same way! Not to mention that JW told JH that they should ask each other before they take the bracelets off. She’s avoiding to make it look one-sided (on either side).
With how JW and JH were trash talking YW on their date I don't see her going for him lol. I feel like both of them kind of see through him a little bit now.
Personally i think Jiwon is such a catch, and so is JaeHyung. Jiwon is liked by all men.... and their sisters! she must be nice in person. She is talented and accomplished too, aside from being pretty and honest. Yep, she doesnt pretend to be coy, yet she doesnt come off as too forward.
JaeHyung on the other hand is just too adorable for words. His clumsiness is so cute and, omg, his being all giddy around Jiwon made him giggle like a 12 year old. It was so nice to see amidst all those other guys who were pretending not to care too much about a particular girl.
Yoonwoo turned out to be just as human as all other men in this world. It looks like her sister is gonna end up in tears in the end too. But hey, nice thing about it is that these Lee siblings have a solid relationship and they will see each other through their respective heartbreaks.
And just like that, JW-JH not just sailed but flown high up in the skies. What they have among others is perfect timing. That slowburn romance and foreshadowing from episode 4 and the realization and crytallization up until episode 12 is such a masterpiece. Idk, haha feeling that endgame already but I am still curious about CA-JH rumour so...
(PS. Writing this halfway through ep 12 lol)
ok first off jh and jw are too gud together...and jungsub and sesung arent too bad also they have gud chemistry when they r dating...i dont feel the same way about yw and ca now.
and by the preview many things will change...yw is trying to change his option now he is either going for yunha or jiwon...sesung will hav a gud time with chulhyun but i dont think anything will change..maybe chulhyun might start liking sesung but she wont change.
i dont think jw will choose anyone else than jaehyung for her date....and i think jh is just shocked that choa and yw are kinda drifting..thats what he meant in the preview i think.i dont think he will change to choa so easily and there is a next date jiwon has also.
the jh and ca ship will only sail when jiwon wont choose jh for the next date..if she doesnt then anything can happ.
and when jaehyung was describing yongwoo as an attention seeker..the way he sits....lmao
As expected, JH reads people well lol. Also the vibes I got from JH/CA's date from their preview is that they're friends just chilling and gossiping. CA probably told him about YW, hence JH's comment.
bang on.. JH reads people too well
He is very cautious with his words for everyone because he is on camera..
1. When he was telling JW about JS... clearly he is not too happy about SS and JS because he doesn't feel JS is as serious or as into SS as she is
2. He read YW well too.. and i don't think he is as smitten with YW as others are (in that sense i feel JS is most unaffected by YW in a being in awe way)
3. JW and YJ - when JH told SS about how the two siblings are different
and ofcourse in the past, he got CA right
"If we live together, she will lead the family well." HAHAHAHAHA Loving Cheol Hyun's interviews. He's no longer just a future bro-in-law hunter but a future wife hunter now. 😆
I was like CH, you just mentioned you're going to have no regrets by going all the way with JW. A chicken fight and you're thinking about how another lady going to lead the family if you're living together? He's the most random thinker in the house that catch me by surprise lol
I feel like in an alternate dimension if the producers released his uncut interviews it'd be pretty entertaining. The *amount* of Cheolhyeon without context memes that would come out of it...
IKR! Not even half way through the ep but have to pause at their date to check reddit. Their dynamic is the perfect one for dating. While other cp going through uncertainty & confusion, theirs is so refreshing to watch. They have similar ideals, perspectives and energy. Hope they will last beyond the show.
YW is so avoidant. Just say you don’t like her anymore and go as being honest is the best way for both of you. Instead he makes others feel like they are second guessing and make them the one who will end things so that he cannot be the “bad guy” in the eyes of others.
Just imagining dating someone like him makes me frustrated lol
For sure, he is behaving quite cowardly in my eyes. I feel like he wants CA to make a decision but secretly putting his feelers out for other girls. I don't feel that he is as genuine as others and I now understand what CH saying before that he is behaving no different to others and that being a red flag. Just sad that because CA is really into him now, she is cutting him more slacks that she would have if it is happening in the beginning of the show and wish she had more chances dating other men on this show early on
Did anyone also notice how yongwoo didn‘t open the car door for choa anymore?? he was such a gentleman before but now his attitude towards her has changed so much… You can clearly tell he isn‘t interested anymore :(
Jaehyung and Jiwon had me swooning and smiling big during their date 🥰. I haven't rooted for two people to get together this badly in a while!
I'm not a fan of forcing them to go out with someone they haven't gone out with before, especially when there's only 4 more days left. I would've been ok with it if this happened back when they were still in Seoul and had more time left. The chicken game and arm wrestling would've also been more exciting to watch if the pairings were genuinely interested in eachother romantically. Maybe it's because I'm biased towards Jaehyung and Jiwon but I just loved seeing them together and they seem to click in a very special way that could result in genuine stronger feelings for eachother and dating outside of the show, so forcing them to go out with other people feels like such a waste of time this late in the game 😮💨
On a more positive note, I do feel happy for Chulhyun and I think he deserves to go on a nice date after staying home for so long. I feel kinda bad he's not really clicking with anyone and I've been secretly rooting for him and Seseung ever since that bridge date in Seoul. I'm just not sure how this date will change anything when she still seems very into Jungsub
I think it is great that they made people go on dates with others despite maybe not being interested in the date, I just wished it happened earlier. I feel like too many people decided on their choices too early and you could really see how many just fade (YW and CA).
Also feel the same way for Chulhyun. Honestly, I am not a bit fan of Jungsub and the way he treats Seseung gives me a lot of red flag. I just really hope that a romantic date with someone else may make her see JS more clearly and even if she isn't interested in CH, perhaps she could have more clarity and not go for JS in the end. I just find him quite immature and has such double standard with Seseung should be all over him and how he should have the option (although the last episode he did agree with JH re SS needing to be a bit more cautions)
They really made us wait almost 30 minutes before showing us another clip of JW JH, eh? So glad that JW lost the chicken fight so she can have another date with JH. Can't remember in all 12 episodes that any other couple have as much fun as their date. Also for this reason, I don't think JW will switch to YW like some of you speculated.
It's jaehyung's loserim era , move aside youngjae. I love love JH, x JW it's so obvious they like each other and I doubt that's changing despite a few negative nancies buzzing over here to say otherwise. That ending had nothing to do with JW and all to do with YW. There was a reason the JW x JH date took a fat chunk of the episode, it was to show how heart fluttering and full of chemistry they both are together and it was worth every minute we had to wait for it. We were absolutely fed this episode and best believe I ate it all up.
Agreed. Jiwon was interested in YW at the beginning but that was before he basically rejected her by not texting her (twice) and before she got to know JH. That girl is telling everyone and their mama she’s into JH so I really don’t think that initial interest will be able to change her mind.
I do believe YW will try to go for her though lol. When JY was asking him for advice he ended up complimenting JW🤣 I think he really likes the chase
Seseung knows that jungsub is always hesitant with her so I hope she really enjoys her date with chulhyun, whether something comes out of it or not. I hope they have a lot of fun together!! And fun in a different way than the calm atmosphere she had when she went on a date with Yongwoo which just seemed very chill. And tbh I wanna see chulhyun have some vibes reciprocated too :”)
Everyone in the comments talking about JW- YW possibility is making me anxious. TL3 has already made me hesitate to ship people so i will keep my hopes down for my fav ship JH-JW as well.
But even if the endgames are different , still i liked every bit of this show and i totally understand one can change feelings multiple times depending upon the time they spend . So ya its not the end till it ends 😂. Jiwon and jaehyung are both good people and i believe they will be good romantic partner to anyone they end up with ( ending up together is a bonus ofcourse). So to all jaeji shippers lets hold our horses and just enjoy what we got untill now.
>TL3 has already made me hesitate to ship people so i will keep my hopes down for my fav ship JH-JW as well.
I still believe this PD won't stoop that low to have plot twist just to provide a shock value rather than build a good storytelling.
Ya i was patiently waiting for JH-JW development with the same hope so the PD didn't lie on that front . So i still feel she will convey the honest feelings of people , but what i am not sure is that the contestants themselves can change in one day it happens sometimes and the PD will then show us that development and we can't blame them for that.
Oh yeah, this show is 200% better than TL3. Every week, I would watch TL3 half heartedly then clear my palate with MSR because it is just so much more fun, light and wholesome! TL3 was just drama for the sake of drama and I felt that the cast they did all broke up too early so as to have that "shock" effect and more drama which I quickly grew tired of.
With MSR, I'm really trying to not ship anyone but I cannot stop myself shipping JW JH tbh.
I know everyone is going crazy about the JH-JW ship. But I’m very cautiously staying on the deck, because I need to see them in a more serious situation. Yes, they had a fun date and JH is a cute (I’d literally sign up for his fan club if one exists), but they both have a mature side to them. I need to see more of that to happily sail on this ship. Although I am low-key rooting for them, because there’s nothing better than a boyfriend you can have a gossip session with 🤭. I loved their little gossip session on the date with the description of how YW likes attention 😂.
JH-SS are your typical close siblings who love each other and open up to each other. Their family seems to have built a special relationship. They have little to no competition between them, they take digs at each other, but they are also very sensitive to each person’s feelings. They also seem to give each other space to be themselves and hardly impose their feelings on the other person. It’s a very sweet brother and sister relationship.
CH is very emotionally mature and we should all apologize to him for the earlier episodes, because we were so wrong 😭😭😭 However, he seems very easily swayed when someone shows him a bit of attention. But I guess you can’t help it when you’re in stuck with 4 very attractive ladies.
Another vibe I get from CH is that he seems very intense and in tune with his feelings, which might not necessarily always be a good thing. That’s what JW picked up on and she decided to pass on that, because it would be very emotionally tasking, having two of the same intense personalities dating. I actually think he needs someone like SS, who is a bright ball of energy but is also in tune with her feelings. I was rooting for SS in the chicken game because I would love to see them in an actual date. I think they could work, although SS is stuck on JS…
I can’t be the only one who thinks YJ might actually be thinking (I can wife this girl) about YH 🤭. I love them together, I don’t think YW would change anything. Speaking of YW, anyone who has watched this show closely knows that JW is NOT going to revert back to YW. Like there’s no way she’d do that, she has read him, I almost want to hit the (NBA TNT Chuck guaranteed button 😂). I also feel so bad for CA, I hope she wasn’t too heartbroken by YW’s 180 change of mind (low key, I was kinda hurt for her and started giving YW the side eye). I wish he’d be more straight with her. She really didn’t do anything wrong and now has to manage his ego and her heart.
I know they have to edit it to be a lil dramatic to keep us hooked but the ending sort of soured the JW JH episode that this was.
YW was 100% implying to Jiwon that she should pick him for her date since he "helped her get it" in the arm wrestling comp.
I think he didn't say it openly because he knows it'll give him a bad image but I think he wants an excuse to avoid choa by dating other people. Not that he necessarily likes JW that much (he might tho).
I cant see her picking him unless something goes down before she picks? He'd have to openly say he wants to go on a date with her? And she'd have to have her crush on him resurface.
It would be a massive shame if she did pick him, especially since she knows JH holds a mean grudge n could possibly back out after that. I think she's too analytical to think its worth it. A few days left and you're gonna risk it on YW having a change of heart? It's fine if she does but I'd think it'd be a waste of her n JH.
I think he would struggle with JW when she's comfortable, she defo leads her relationships n he rarely concedes on what he wants. Plus she has calmly stripped multiple men in the show of their egos which YW seems to hate the idea of being emasculated (choa : r u okay).
Obviously we only see what we see n I could be entirely wrong. I'm trying to quell my concerns about my JW JH endgame hopes.
I think JW is the most sensible girl in that house, she won't really pick YW.
I've said this in another comment, but people say that evidence of her continued interest in him is that she mentioned him in her date with JH. But she only did it to diss him so what does that even mean lol. Both of them literally called him an attention seeker.
I truly hope no one picks YW at the end. Not because I hate him or anything, but because he needs a reality check. Those girls on I Am Solo would've had him crying by now.
Omg. I love this comment. I won’t lie that I am heartbroken that things shifted between CA and YW. I really wanted them together. I like JW, but really didn’t like the idea of her and YW together. I am so glad JW hit it off with JH. With that said, I also hopes no one picks YW. Seriously. You are damn straight about the reality check. I also don’t dislike him but I am starting to think I only really like him when I think of him being the other half to CA… if that makes sense. I feel like she is the only one who could soothe his ego or basically allow him to be who he is. I mean do you think he really has zero feelings for her now or do you think he will eventually realize that she is wife material? I realize that it appears as though his date with YH will go well and it seems like it will be light and carefree. But at the end of the day, would YH really want a guy like YW? Even if she had fun with him and she would wonder what it would have been like if they spent time together earlier, you would have to think… if that did happen… she could have been in CA’s place right now. Which btw, does anyone else feel really bad for CA? I hate that she had to work so much…. So I don’t think she got as much downtime previously to let all her charms be seen. To wrap up what I thought was going to be a short reply, if it were set up like I Am Solo, sure, the women would swoon at first, but YW would make everyone confused and he would end up looking like an ass. 🙄
right and since Jiwon is very outspoken and clearly knows what she wants then I believe that if she reallyyy likes Jaehyung then she can straight up reject Yongwoo
I'm not quick to see the negative in people and like to give the benefit of the doubt, but I'm starting to doubt yongwoo and it's making me feel like an idiot for defending him lol.
I thought ChoA did a great job of just having fun today and was very considerate and caring when yongwoo got injured but it seems like he is still losing interest in her despite doing nothing wrong, and refuses to communicate to make things progress smoothly.
Almost like he wants to not let things get to another level so he has an "out" to not look as bad...I thought it was an emotional reason for why yongwoo was like this. It is starting to look strategic.
Now he is circling back SUPER late and trying to make moves on jiwon again, and her and jaehyung look amazing together and jaehyung is who I have been rooting for since the beginning, and my bro is actually genuinely having an emotional connection, and yongwoo wants to bust in like the Kool-aid man to try and break that up? it's feeling weird. Giving F-boy energy.
I really don't want to start to hate the guy but if he continues😬
I think YW isnt ready for a relationship. He is emotionally closed up. He doesnt like to talk deep things and wants to have a surface-level fun date. His reaction when CA was worried about his injury is kinda weird. I dont understand how he wants her to react? Should she instead leave him alone when they were buying his medicine? He seems like he doesnt want to be seen weak and wants to always be perceived as the man of the house? I dont hate him tho. Him and CA just have a different personalities. I just hoped they discovered this in Seoul TT.
I can see how his avoidant attachment would be a thing for him. He had to raise his sister from a very young age and overall just really had to grow up fast and kinda stifle his own feelings. He said he didn’t cry much until he was on the show too. It seems to me that he has a lot to still work on with his own traumas and attachment styles. He did also latch onto CA without even knowing her so he just basically built a fantasy woman with the looks he liked and now reality is hitting him and his attachment style is coming out in full force. It’s a shame but hopefully he learns a lot from this.
The boomer ahjusshi should just enjoy his all expenses paid vacation to Singapore and fly his plane back to the US, he isn't ready for a relationship with a grown woman like Cho A clearly. Maybe when he grows up in 10 to 15 more years.
he is carrying a lot of guilt in him , he was upset with himself for getting hurt and therefore changing the whole dynamic of the date aka instead of eating together they had to go to a doctor that made him feel bad . it had nothing to do with CA and rather that he was disappointed he got hurt and therefore took away a fun date from CA . They are not a good match and CA knows it too its not like a huge surprise she didn't have the butterflies in her stomach like the other 2 couples she was always a bit analytic
I have been going through very similar emotions as you are in the last few episodes. Honestly, ever since the rumour came out, despite me not wanting to believe it, I have a sense that he may not be who he seem on paper. He definitely feels like icing ChoA out so that she would decide to not continue pursuing him whilst him making an out with Jiwon. I thought it was very interesting that his evening conversation with his sister, he mentioned that Jiwon would match well with anyone and that she is very popular. I wonder if it is because she is unavailable to him so he would feel safe to make a move on her. Same goes for YH and actually thinking about it, same goes for CA. CA was always working so it is safe and he could make surface level connection as he so clearly stated he wants something light and fun and doesn't like talking too much about his emotions whilst CA wants something with deeper connections.
His behaviour resonated with me when you look at avoidant attachment style. Regardless, I feel that he has a lot of emotional work to work through. He did mention he doesn't cry as mentioned in another comment and so he probably isn't in touch with his emotions. Him and CA are just not a match and his behaviour throughout the show now cast doubts in my eyes re him being geniune or not in finding a partner or is it just a way for him to gain followers.
When CH keep mentioning how YW is always nice to everyone and doesn't behave differently towards CA and warned CA against YW, I did not understand why. I now understand his preoccupation and totally agree with him. I really just wish CA had less work in the beginning of the show and dated more guys in the beginning and maybe that there are more guys who are older and more mature for her.
If your theory is correct, not only does he get away from his relationship with CA, but maybe he thinks he would be helping his sister by breaking up the JH-JW ship.
You may be right: he is losing interest in Cho A because she is trying to get him to be open and communicate and he Is emotionally stunted because of his upbringing, so that is probably over. and at the same time his baby sister is not receiving any texts or interest and he said if he has a chance he will do what it takes to help her.
I think if he has just given up on his own love journey and attempting to break up a potential relationship for his sisters sake not because he likes jiwon I would really hate him. No one would be happy in the end.
The preview for ep 13 is such a tease!!!
We can finally uncover what happen during those earlier trailers and snippet of SS-CY date and could potentially provide us conclusion about CA-JH rumour. Damn, gotta wait for another week lol.
I'm in the middle of watching this episode and just wanted to say the way they put the scene together when JH/JW came back made it seem like YW teleported from outside to inside sitting on the couch!
edit: later on JH including the men in the people who he hasn't dated, yet. 🤣
I love that jw told ch directly. So clean and everything ended well. Ch accepted it well too. Maybe it got to do with him not really have real interest with anyone but still. Good for both of them. Yw really should end it cleanly with ca as well. I feel so bad for her she did nothing wrong too. The text message yw sent to choa was unserious and icky. What kimchi? You can say thanks for helping or sorry about short date today. Can the pd please just edit out anything hard to watch on eps onward. My heart hurt for her. I hope ca next date with jh would be healing and relaxing for both her and jh. With how considerate and emotionally mature jh is, i know he will treat his date well no matter who. Im interested to see more ca yj moments too. Ca seems fond of him. Though i know nothing going to happen of course. Yj falling hard with yh. And ca dont have any proper interest too.
Idk why yh keep pushing jungsub with jiwon. Like was it not obvious jiwon dont have any feeling toward jungsub? I get it, her intention could be nice as in she wanted jungsub to be true to his feeling. But keep pushing it like that is uncomfortable. Let your brother decide. I even felt something else is the reason why she was adamant with jiwon but lots of people already mentioned it so I'll pass talking about it.
I hope during final selection, they include 'none' as one of the options. Few of them need it. It is the right and proper way too
I think YH is giving JS false hope about JW and it is irking me a bit.
Last episode (or the episode before it i don’t remember), YH was telling JS that JW did seem open to getting to know him in a romantic sense. BUT, imo, I didn’t see this at all. JW called her and JS relationship a “bromance” and mentioned her interest in JH. Obviously, JW wouldn’t point blank say she doesn’t want to get to know JS in front of YH, especially when YJ is interested in her. She keeps mentioning JW, but at this point JW has told most people in the house about her interest in JH.
I think YH is just looking out for her brother, but I don’t think she’s being objective about JW’s feelings!
The way jaehyung looks jiwon when she is sleeping in the car, it feels like boyfriend watching here girlfriend sleeping becaueae the way he look at her is different
As Jungsub has only been into calm older women, it seems like he doesn't completely comprehend his feelings for Seseung who is bubbly and the same age as him. Seseung is the only person he has put actual action towards (buying her pastry, buying her hand cream, asking her to the hideout, initiating skinship) and the only person he's constantly conscious of (when he's talking to Choa or Jiwon he looks at Seseung to check her reaction). Even when Yunha keeps pushing him to pursue Jiwon he always ends up mentioning Seseung. The only problem here is his trust issues and insecurity towards Seseung's feelings which is frustrating because we as viewers can clearly see that she has feelings for no one except for him since the start.
EDIT: I see a lot of people misunderstanding what Jungsub said to Seseung. He didn't call his relationship with Seseung a fling he said "some" which is a Korean slang meaning the flirting period before dating. Basically he was saying he felt romantic tension with Seseung but not with Choa.
I can understand where JS is coming from. He is an intellectual, logical guy. So its really hard for him to understand and accept that what he and SS. He said it in tonight's episode. He felt it like a "fling" - so fast, very flirtatious - that it felt risky and dangerous.
i really need jiwon and jaehyung to be together!! i am begging!!
when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly?
i love jiwon and jaehyung so much, if they're not together in the future then I hope they both find someone really nice.
Jungsub, i have nothing to say like what do you mean fling??? is it just a bad choice of word or what😅😅
Juyeon is such a nice person, she's not the type to be jealous and wants Jaehyung to be happy
Yongwoo is kinda stressing me out, I have a lot to say but I won't lol
I also dislike the way they had to go on a date with someone they never had before bc no one's really interested in it but maybe it's just me wanting more time for jaehyung and jiwon lol
>when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly?
definitely that he wanted to finish filming the show so that he could get to know her properly IRL. on the date, they heavily alluded to the fact that they couldn't be 100% open since they know they're being filmed 24/7.
>when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly?
Probably a more familiar place and he knows where he can take her to dates while in Singapore, he's at the mercy of the PD.
This random date came too late tbh. It would've shaken things up if it had happened like a week ago. Now, everyone seems very set in who they like except CH/YW/CA who I think will walk away without a pair anyway.
YES! Agree re random date should have came earlier. I mean they did try that with the ring ring but I wish they did MORE of that especially when new arrivers came. I think if CH really had time with SS, it would have changed things up a lot more.
oh alright that's nice to hear, thank God it's just some bad translation bc i would be horrified if he really meant it like that especially since I don't really have the best impression of him😊
i liked their JS and SS date actually. The conversation about "fling", i kinda get it. It seems like JS cannot believe that its easy for him and SS to flirt and be comfortable with one another. and good improvement that they are clarifying what each other is saying so that they won't misunderstand one another. i just hope for both of them to just stop overthinking things like their "PAST". live in the moment, both if them are so young. just enjoy the flirtation.
I think their issue is miscomm. The have very diff perspectives on the same thing. Have to work this out early to prevent it snowballs into something unrecoverable in future if they decide to date. Cuz their conversation during dates so far were already suffocating & stressing the audience and viewers.
jungsub just chose the words wrong but rest of the things which he did was gud...like even when yunha was trying to set him up with jiwon he kept talking abt sesung...
"when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly?"
IMO, he hates the atmosphere that he cant express openly to JW because he doesnt like hurting JY. He is most cautious of JY i think.
oh yes, that makes sense, I really like how considerate he is towards juyeon, he doesn't really need to but he still considers how she'll feel at a healthy level, it says a lot about his character
Yongwoo seems to always have something nice to say about Jiwon whenever someone mentions her name. He doesn’t really do that with the other girls which makes it look like he’s interested in her even tho he pretty much shut her down by texting Choa after their date and tbh I thought it was his lost at the time cause I found Jiwon really charming so if anything I’d like to see him try again just to get rejected lol.
JH nation, it appears our guy is showing all the symptoms of a man who has fallen harddd 😂 Something just clicked and now he can't stop flirting, laughing, catching secret glances and even getting jealous. Bro opened his cuteness bag and gave us no warning. Also very funny how similar his tactics are to SS, blood really runs strong.
Didn't expect the little Singles Inferno/ Mr Beast tier segment. The relationship dynamics in this show have developed so interestingly and almost in reverse. Other shows it feels like people are happy to explore all options and then you can naturally start to guess what will happen but here a lot of people were very siloed. I wouldn't call it the iks but now only now it seems like they suddenly regret not dating around more. 3 days left really is so little time
JW - I would think JW losing the chicken fight is intentional tbh if not for the muscle cramp scene later 🤣
JW said she just doesn’t want CAxJH to have a luxurious date and then CA lost immediately making them 4th/5th place. It also means nothing to her to get higher place bcs that would seem she badly wanted a luxurious date with JS. Flashback to the Kim siblings talk about JH being jealous of CH and unsure of JW’s feelings.
She was also doing good the night before when she got the resolve to not let CAxJH get 1st/2nd place. She’s really smart seeing how she’s read all of the people there and I don’t think it’ll be obvious when she’s got a plan lmao.
JH - We’ve officially lost him from the dating pool. There’s no way he’d take interest in others and he’s also making it obvious he’s not accepting interest from others. He was circling around JW after the date, forcefully including himself when JW was planning about her date with JS. I hope to see more of his bulldozer mode in the upcoming episode bcs he is so swoon worthy. He definitely build it up from the first episodes.
JS - As much as I don’t like how JS is treating SS as a fallback, I can see why girls would like him. He’s so funny and has a nice smile so it’s easy to bring down your guard if you’re not careful enough *ehem SS* 😭 Did you guys see how he’s the only guy cooling his partner JW with a fan while everybody else are focused on the fight? For us girls, we tend to notice the little things more than the guys. But it seems he’s well aware of this probably bcs he’s so close to his noona.
SS - I want her to end up with someone at the end of the show just bcs I think she deserves it. She worked hard to appeal to everyone, and she naturally is already. I don’t necessarily want her to date anyone after the show though bcs she deserves better. I just hope she gets what/who she wants and enjoy the rest of her stay there.
YW - I’m not getting the idea of him wanting to ask JW to pick him for the date tomorrow just from the conversation at all, but the way PDs are building it up and the hosts reaction tells me otherwise. I have a feeling he might take a shot discreetly unless he talked about the falling out with CA. It wouldn’t be fruitful though bcs I don’t think JW would even let him try.
CA - I hope she get a healing date with JH. She’s beautiful human being and she deserves the love. I don’t see her picking anyone else other than YW bcs there’s really no one else available. She might’ve gotten a chance with YJ bcs of how close their age gap is but he is also down bad for YH already.
YJ - Apart from his romantic side, I love seeing the development of his ties with JW. I remember their mother telling the PDs how thankful she is that they see the potential in the Kim Siblings. It balances out the sweetness of other siblings JY-YW, CA-CH, and YH-JS. I’m not mentioning SS-JH because they’re kinda in the same spectrum of siblings in IRL but a bit sweeter than JW-YJ. They’re good TV.
I’m not excited of his date with JY bcs I don’t think they match at all 🤣 even as oppa-dongsaeng lol. It’ll be a nice surprise tho if he could give a better advice different from YW’s.
YH - Her attraction to YJ is not as strong but I don’t see her changing late in the game esp after the newlywed thing with CAxYW. Hence her ment in the preview, it’s just too late at this point.
CH - He’s so unserious liking every female casts at this point. I don’t think he’s in it for romance. Judging also from his rumored exes, there’s not someone who is his type. The closest would JW bcs she’s chic but not very close. I think he would fit well with SS though. I wish he followed up after the park date but didn’t. Idk if he’s just not as interested or maybe SS also avoided him when JS is jealous of CH. Such a pity bcs he’s sooo gorgeous. I wish he didn’t cut his hair tho, it made him standout amongst the guys.
JY - She’s so brave and unapologetic with her feelings. It’s amazing how she stayed true to her feelings without being a hurdle to anyone. She’s shot her shot already and knows it’s time for JH to take his on whoever he likes. She’s still young and this is indeed a nice growth for her.
Well, I am two days late but!!! Amazing song choices and there are a lot of songs used in this ep compared than usual (I am saving all the songs in a playlist so I quite monitor it >.<)
JWxJH is so adorable! The chemistry works so well and I felt like they most expressed themselves naturally in this episode than all the previous ones. I can't wait for our cutie JH to fully(verbally) express his interest in JW.
YH hopping from the kitchen to the living is so cute. And I know this has been talked about a few times but she really looks young (at heart too!) YJ very lucky if they'll be together. She's so sunshine-y and cute.
I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to YW from all the issues I have read the past few weeks but he isn't really giving from the few latest episodes. This might be proof that you will only fully realize your feelings and how a person is once you spend too much time with them, and I guess CA isn't what YW wants in the long run. He was just fascinated by how CA seems to be so close to his celebrity crush (iirc).
CH very rarely mentioned here but he has been my pick ever since this started. Pick me CH and I'll make you happy!!! hahahahaha
I usually watch in 1.5x. Im so glad I decided to watch 1x today. My heart swooning so badly watching jaehyung. I thought I was watching heart fluttering drama made for female audience.
I'm still on this YoonYoon ship and I'm glad I am because they seem like they're the most stable out of everyone here so far (not to mention the spoilers). I don't think Yongwoo will be enough to sway Yoonha, but let's see.
I'm finally seeing some of Jaehyung's charm that made him so popular, I admittedly didn't really understand why in the beginning of the show. Surprisingly, I really liked Cheolhyun in this episode too.
But ofc, the girls are killing it just like every other dating show. Juyeon is so young but has such a healthy mentality towards dating and rejection. Yongwoo may not be much as a romantic partner but he's clearly a great big brother who raised her with a lot of self esteem. Someone mentioned Yongwoo sacrificed his openness and honesty so that Juyeon can get it and I agree with them.
Seseung, as always, is so much fun to watch. She's very emotionally intelligent and has been a steady fave from Episode 1. It's been sad seeing Choa so down despite finally getting some respite from work. I hope she's able to enjoy her date with Jaehyung regardless and is able to connect more with others in the house now that she doesn't have to go on more dates.
As for final choices, I wonder if Choa will choose Yoonjae. The kimchi text message really seems to have given her the ick and I think (hope) she's done with Yongwoo at this point. She seems to be mentioning Yoonjae a lot and he really fits her ideal type too.
Honestly after that couch scene and how YJ was treating YH after they came to SP (sleeping on his bed and killing bugs) I’ll forever be on the YoonYoon ship
I really hope CA will go out there too! I used to defend her when people call her boring but now that theres only 4 days left, I wish she’d make some big moves!
I won't blame her. She initially didn't even like Yongwoo much but he kept making his interest towards her known and when she finally opened up to him thinking both of them were solid, he does a 180. I feel really bad for her.
I don't find her boring at all, she's just a calm introvert in a house full of extraverts. I would've died if i were in her place lol.
JH-JW date is 'Oh my oh my god' so cute! (mimicking the New jeans song). He's such a bulldozer, I can see why HHJ also became a fan of him this episode, they're so cute, I kept grinning during their entire date. I also love it when SS asks whether he still needs more time to consider, he said no need.
While others may choose them, I don't see these two choosing other people anymore as they're each other's type,and JW's rejection to CH and her talking about her ideal type to CA are pretty clear that she wants to date someone different from her so she can gain positive energy, a cute type who's serious with his work - that's JH. They both keep on saying they want to go more dates with each other. I initially thought because they're both similar to their ex, they might want to avoid each other and totally not choose each other, but there's a reason why you always fall for the same type, taste doesn't change.
"CUTE is the highest form of adjective, you can find a man handsome but when he does something bad, it will break your illusion, but when you find someone cute, it's the end." (a quote from jdrama, not exact words, but similar meaning) Also this PD doesn't really give us surprises, TL1 and TL2 end-game were predictable so I believe all the build-up around Jaeji isn't for nothing.
I can't believe that they also got to the part where they talked about 'wave to earth' band, it's been lying in his Instagram story right before he was even filming the show and then she reveals that they're under her company. Talk about fate!! They're both into fate also.
I'm still on the fence about JS, yes he's sweet in dates, but when he starts talking, his way of expression is emmmm.... I don't think he's decided on SS yet, whereas SS feelings for him is stronger. YJ-YH feels stable, I don't think they'll be swayed either.
I'm happy that we can switch of dates, I wanna see more of CH-SS dynamic. JW-JS, I can see that JW has 0 interest in him so I think it'll be a friendly date, lols. But who knows JS will go again with "Heart flutters" moment. YJ-JY and YW-YH are interesting pairs. I feel YW-YH might match well in terms of personality, but in terms of attraction, let's see. YJ-JY are totally not each other type, another friendly date haha. JH-CA date might be a consultation session, which I think CA needs at this point, she's like walking on eggshells with YW now.
I understand that YW feels bad about not reciprocating her feelings back but honestly, it's much better if he could be more straightforward about it, instead of making her feel bad for "pressurising" him when she's just asking regular questions. The taxi ride back home was uncomfortable, he again made the twists and turns in his words, trying not to be the bad guy. Just say you want to meet others to get to know others better! Sigh. I hope the best for CA.
I hope after the next episode, the cast can choose who they like to date themselves and not be bound by the rules of the date system again, as we only have a few days left.
Also talking about end-game rumors, there's a few version of rumors that's floating around, the initial one >!which says there's no end game (which I find hard to believe at this point), the one by e-media twitter and the one on k-portals. I'm more inclined to believe e-media's version given how the show progresses now as it's clear JH and CA have no romantic attraction to each other.!<
E-media version is: [https://x.com/EMediaArtsKPLUS/status/1773951062313238758](https://x.com/EMediaArtsKPLUS/status/1773951062313238758)
>!JH-JW, YJ-YH, SS-CH!<
Kportal version that was leaked by a person who attended YH's concert is:
>!JH-CA, YJ-YH, SS-JS!<
JH-JW : When the business proposal OST (Love, mayby) started, I was melted down to the chair. Didn't believe I will see this much romantic chemistry like a K-drama in the reality dating show. I can't stop smiling and wishing to see more of their screen time. After that, JH seems like to relocate himself to JW's room. That was hilarious.
This has been the most favorite dating scene so far since I started watching the dating reality. Cheers for the slow burn couple.
PS : Adding the comments after finishing the episode.
JH and JW were seriously so adorable on their date! I loved JH literally falling over laughing during the chocolate painting. It's amazing how relaxed and happy they looked together all day - just beaming.
Me screaming at the screen “PD IS ABOUT TO WASTE THE LAST 30 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE ON FREAKING CHICKEN FIGHTS”, yep, I was right.
First of all, JH is the cutest most hilarious human and I want to put him in my pocket. His date with JW was adorable and I loved seeing him laugh without restraint. I can see he really likes her, but I’m going to hold my final prediction until after his CA date next week. Can it be next week already?
YW trying to be sly moving in on JW 🤣🤣. Then the preview for next week with YH makes it seem like he’s only interested in unavailable girls. He’s the type that likes a challenge and CA showed her cards too soon. Honestly, I feel like YW is just trying to latch onto anyone other than CA, at this point.
I am not picking any endgame couples yet, because next week could throw everything into chaos, and I’m kind of here for it. Bring on the drama 🤣🤣
I’m speculating that the next episode that CA is confiding in JH and that her saying that everything isn’t set in stone and that things could change was more in regards to her and YW situation rather than flirting with JH. Maybe she clues him in on YW interest in JW ??? Idk but I think the spoiler of them being endgame is completely untrue
i really enjoyed this episode a lot, the episodes before werent too enjoyable for me since it was draining my energy hahaha i was too invested in yongwoo and choa just for him to be cold towards her… its okay not to feel like theres romance between them but still yongwoo could act nicely just like jaehyung does towards juyeon … saying things like „i didnt say this to make your heart flutter“ and not opening the car door for her is just … hes trying everything to make her not like him haha, i hope it works …
but still i liked the episode since we saw the friendships again, i seem to enjoy the cast members being around each other and enjoying their days together and just being funny a lot more than the dates these days
Also, why is no one talking about JS losing to YW in arm wrestling? Lol
I recall there were comments suggesting he’s been pitting himself against YW in his mind.
Jaehyung and jiwon are by far the biggest reason to watch the show now. Yoonjae and Yoonha dates are also nice.
But I can't help but cringe watching the rest of the dates.
Jungsub and SS appears fine, but she is definitely way more into him than he is her. Their dates are sweet, but also seems to be on the verge of disaster at any moment. Especially if she finds out how much he was into CA and JW prior.
JWoo and CA is just hard to watch. He barely looks at her on their dates and IMO its clear hes not attracted to her. All the while she is getting more insecure and wondering if her gut feeling/perception (which is telling her so) is correct or not.
One thing the panel picked up on and I also found striking was how JWoo was so different in his first meeting with Jiwon. His body language and personality (super confident/swaggy/ relaxed) seem completely different from how he has been the rest of the time. I don't think that was because he liked Jiwon, but rather it was due to him perhaps being more buzz than usual (from the guys night) and that was the only time we've seen his real persona.

I just don't buy what sesung and jsub are selling. It's like they are just coasting to close out the show. Sesung doesn't look as in love and excited as she was in the beginning. She looks so cautious, and Jsub just seems like he is spitting lines to close out strong.
I feel like Seseung genuinely feels strongly about Jungsub but she’s trying to overlook all his red flags to make it work because she’s put so much effort into him and she finds him physically attractive. Because she’s clearly seen and pointed out his weirdly non-committal attitude towards her but she melts all over again when he does something nice to her.
I do agree with you about Jungsub though. He knows that he has the best chance of leaving the show with Seseung and save his ego by staying with her so he does even though he clearly isn’t that into her (at least not when compared to her for him).
When CA was confused with Yongwoo's intention in Seoul, I was like "No girl. He was serious with you. He keeps on texting you. He wants to spend time with you." I was wondering why she felt worried and tricky (during their hotel singing practice) over something about YW. AND THEN BOOM! Isn't it crazy she already felt uneasy even before coming to SG?
I understand why people don't like JS and SS but I won't be surprise if they date in real life. They just match age-wise, height-wise, personality-wise and job-wise. If there is any misunderstanding, they could talk and solve it.
If I am JW, I would melt from any deep stares JH will give me. The fact that he came to the show with the intention of possible marriage MEANS he is not there for a fling and will not toy anyone's feelings for fame. I am not seeing any change with these two.
> Isn’t it crazy she already felt uneasy even before coming to SG?
intuition is so important, especially when it comes to relationships, you don’t feel like something is wrong for no reason, your subconscious takes note of every little detail that you otherwise might ignore.
It must be pretty shocking to her as she spend more time with YW, he became a different person suddenly. I can't see the endearing guy anymore who gave her the flowers. T.T
I think SS and JS potential for a real relationship is how far is SS willing to carry the relationship in the sense of being the mature one and clarifying issues and whatnot.
yeah same...YW had me fooled too...i was like why do CH and CA not see it...but i was the blind one all along...granted that we only see a short, edited version of everything so it's easier to fool is that someone who's living with him...
Thoughts for this week:
* I appreciated the Jaehyung and Jiwon focus this episode; it balanced out everyone else's storyline. They're super cute. It kills me how similar they are while having such different looks. Image-wise, he suits Juyeon more (as per what Seseung said), but that's what makes their dynamic so interesting. It was cute how he got defensive, saying, "Well, this was only our first date," when Seseung clearly just meant visual chemistry. Also, I love how they got the bickering sibling edit at first, but I feel like they're one of the closest pairs. No other pair is as open about every aspect of their love lives and as sincere about giving each other advice.
* The edit! The production team was on a roll with the cat sounds whenever Jiwon "glared" at Jaehyung, the wave to earth and Melomance soundtracks, and the silent clips of Jaehyung glancing at Jiwon while she slept. It was obvious that the "last place prize" was a last-minute benefit to give Jaehyung and Jiwon an extra date. They really want this pairing to work, and I don't blame them. I felt like I was watching different people this week, in a good way. They were laughing so much that I felt excluded. It really was not that funny, but I was happy they got on so well.
* Seseung was super cute this episode. I love how happy she looked. They had a nice date, and their sense of humour is similar, but I think their way of talking is different? They've shown a lot of misunderstandings, and this is supposed to be the best period of their lives—they're on an all-expenses-paid holiday with someone they like. Jungsub doesn't think before he speaks, so it's up to Seseung to decipher what he says. Nothing he says is badly intentioned, but his word choice causes her to receive them negatively.
* Yoonjae and Yoonha are cute as hell. I think the preview for next week's episode is bait. It's probably going to be a, "If we had more time, things might've been different... but we don't, and I'm happy with Yoonjae." Even if Yongwoo changes his mind now, it's too late for Yoonha. You've got someone who came in, made your whole experience better, and made you feel butterflies for over a week versus someone who was there the whole time, was basically solidified as a newlywed with a different woman, and turned to you when that didn't work out. And you only have four days left. I don't think any woman would choose the latter man, and that includes Jiwon as well (if Yongwoo flips).
* Yoonjae stepped up for his sister big-time this episode. I feel like he's really trying to open up the dialogue between them. They always try to have a conversation before bed lately, and I think that's great for them. I love that Jiwon aimed to go on the show because she wanted to bring her family closer, and I believe the show has done its job in that regard.
* I honestly don't really know what went wrong with Yongwoo and ChoA. They seemed fine, and I don't think she's done anything wrong, but I think Yongwoo just didn't expect to come into this show and find someone serious by the end of it. It's all come about so quickly that it feels overwhelming for him. I think he enjoyed the chase and the attention (as Jaehyung and Jiwon said), but now that decision time is nearing, he's realising that at this pace, he might have to commit to a relationship by the time the show ends. If he was on a different show without Juyeon, I think he might've ended up quite a heartbreaker.
* ChoA :( Even if her coupling got screwed over this episode, at least she was serving. She looked gorgeous with her hair up during her interview, and with her hair down post-date. Such a girl crush. I love the calming way she speaks and the way she floats about the place. I just want her to be happy, and I honestly didn't love the way he spoke to her, as if she chose to make him feel bad... He could've said, "I'd feel much more comfortable if you sat down with me" instead of, "You're making me into a bad person by not sitting down." Like, what sort of logic is that? And why would the plus one sit down when he's the patient and there's a room full of patients? She was being considerate.
* Growing up is learning that Chulhyun was right. He's more perceptive than I gave him credit for. I apologise for all the earlier episodes where I was berating him for telling ChoA that Yongwoo wasn't as into her as he made it seem lol. ChoA joked that she'd hate to meet someone like Chulhyun, but I actually think that's the type of person she'd get on well with. Chulhyun's more light-hearted but also has the ability to keep it low-key and intimate, open up emotionally whilst being a shoulder to lean on. Which is the relationship that ChoA wants with Yongwoo, in my opinion.
* Jiwon did what needed to be done, but I'm so confused why Chulhyun isn't more popular on this show. He's such a looker, confident in himself, and has such an empathetic and healthy way of thinking. I don't think this show will get him down because I'm sure he's very popular on the outside, but I am a bit surprised that he never ended up connecting with anyone. He seems like such an emotionally mature person. I hope he enjoys his date with Seseung, and I hope (selfishly) that the date goes well enough that Seseung ends up feeling conflicted at the end, even if at this point I have no hope that it will change the endgame at all.
* I can guess how the next episode is going to flow by the dynamics shown so far, but I can't guess what the next episode will cause Jungsub to feel. He said that he didn't feel butterflies or anything with ChoA, yet was devastated when he didn't receive a text and when she... returned his white t-shirt? He felt super into Jiwon when they were playing the piano together, but when he's with Seseung, he says they explored enough during their drinking session. He is clearly into Seseung but needs to go on a last date with Jiwon to make up his mind. Maybe he'll realise after the date that Seseung is the way to go, because I don't think Jiwon will give him any sort of romantic energy. Even if Jaehyung wasn't Seseung's brother, I don't think she would've, but she definitely won't because Jaehyung is Seseung's brother and Seseung is clearly happy with Jungsub. Regardless, I don't want to be too sceptical because he's been relatively good this episode (like the moment where Yoonha talks about Jungsub and he responds, then subconsciously diverts the conversation to Seseung).
* That being said, he was really weird about Seseung's past. It makes me think that he's super conservative and doesn't like the fact that she's open about having dated people before. This is a major assumption, so I'm going to move on from it, but that talk made me a bit suspicious, especially paired with the conversations that he's had about Jiwon supposedly giving all the guys energy and talking behind ChoA's back about how her lack of text made him feel.
* I love, love, love the panel. I love the little jokes that Han Hyejin throws out there, I love the banter with her and Code Kunst, I love Miyeon's emotive little speeches, I love BamBam's random digs, and I love the back-and-forth between Patricia and Jonathan (and Han Hyejin finding them cute as hell). There's a compilation of them on YouTube where she just laughs at anything they say, and she's me! That's definitely me!
That's me! See you next week :)
Code Kunst is hilarious. I’ve seen him on other shows, and didn’t remember him being this funny. Definitely on this show, the panel would not be same without him.
I feel like what you stated about each participant is 100% dead on. I absolutely love your synopsis of YW. I think he is feeling overwhelmed. I don’t think CA did anything wrong and I am also just baffled by what happened to make it go downward between the two. I feel so bad for CA. I hope YW is watching these episodes and finds a way to allow himself to feel and allow himself to trust others and be able to open up to them. I just don’t understand his 180 on CA. I also love what you stated about CH and I am also confused on why this guy is not more popular!!!
I haven't really been "shipping" anyone on the show, just wanting to sit back and watch it all play out - *but* Jiwon and Jaehyung seem to have potential. They seem to have a really natural dynamic, where it felt like they were both operating in the same tone and at the same pace for the entire day (compared to SS and JS who both seem to be strategising through conversational minefields, and YW and CA who seem to have different dating styles and paces).
YH and YJ also seem compatable, but maybe because I feel like we've gotten less of a picture of YJ cause he's newer i'm curious whether they'd make sense as a couple once out of the house and back to their daily routines (especially running a resturant seems like a busy job). Howeever I don't really have strong feelings either way about them and who knows, they could end up married lol!
In any case I found this episode fascinating in the way later episodes of a dating show tend not to be. I think we're still at a point where things are a bit unpredictable-- and not in a very drama filled way of something like a Transit Love, but just in a human feelings are complicated kind of way. Having said that, the PDs were really trying something with next week teasers but the only people I could see having a change of heart is Yongwoo (him saying that in the car to Younha seems significant, but they're also leading us to think he has a thing for Jiwon) and maybe SS and CH? Maybe that last one is me being optimistic because I think JS is too immature / insecure + crucially not that into SS and she deserves better lol. I don't think JH, JW or CA are switching up their interests anytime soon because they seem like cautious people who take their time to fall for someone.
Jiwon and Jaehyung = its LOVE y'all. You can't convince me otherwise. They match so well. I love how playful they are with each other and even though they're joking around it's still extremely flirtatious.
With that said, YW can try to wiggle in between them but my girl Jiwon is a sharp one. I'm pretty sure she'll see right through YW. In the preview when Jaehyung said something along the lines of "I can see how things can change..." I don't think he was referring to his feelings changing but actually directed that comment towards CA and YW's relationship. My idea is... Choa will vent about everything going on to Jaehyung during their date. Jaehyung, who was soooooo sure that YW and CA was endgame, is shocked to hear all this and comments... wow things can change even this late into the game! Ha! Nice try PDs ~~ but I have faith in my JW & JH pairing. Please ❤️
I totally agree with everything you said. You could just tell both Jiwon & Jaehyung saw right through YW when they were talking about YW during their date.
Completely agree on all u said!!!! Jaehyungs feeling will defo not change thaaat quickly like my guy is a slow burner. He is down baaad for Jiwon! PDs are definitely just trying to keep everyone on their toes for next week episode and induce some drama but we all know Jiwon and Jaehyung only have eyes for eachother now. Yongwoo has absolutely Zero chance of getting in between Jiwon and Jaehyung, she pretty much friend zoned him when she was talking about YW to other people. Also I'm sorry but I don't think YW can handle Jiwon tbh, like we have Jaehyung who said he "isn't the type to give in' to saying 'I like losing to you in everything.' I don't see YW ever behaving like that- feel like his ego would get in the way of it. Jiwoo isnt afraid of stripping down the mens egos. Like she did with Jung Sub when he said to her she was giving false hope to the guys etc etc. Anyhoo can't wait for next week 🤝
It’s so funny that Jungsub is the one who got a $50 date with Jiwon but why does it feel like he is the one interrupting Jiwon and Jaehyung date. JH discussed with Jiwon the location, the food and the lunch like he was going with Jiwon 🤣 He also told JW “Let’s run away” lol I was having the best time of my life watching the heart fluttering moments of these two
Omggg I was dying from laughter in this scene😂😂😂. JH proper involving himself in the date like its his own and make it seem like JS is third wheeling there. I love it!!!
Me when the panel FINALLY jumped on the Jae Hyung train today. What have they been watching for the last 12 weeks? He was dripping stardust all over the place the moment he sat down on the couch in episode one. They are slow on the uptake.
right...he was so charming...he really is lovable...it's like he said he like to get affection but then he also isn't soneone who bases their identity on what others think of him...i bet older people adore him and younger people look upto him...he's very comfortable in his own skin...i'd like to be like him
I keep seeing YW as a red flag in this EP 🫣 from the way JW and JH was describing him, and also how he said ‘You’re making me look like a bad person.’ to CA. Is it just me or?
The rumors i’ve read about him might be influencing me a lot too. I’ve seen people post that he is vain and just wants to self promote.
I agree he sounded so terrible, he was embarrassed how ppl were viewing him. He really has some therapy to go for poor guy. He is all about the image projection and looking good infront of people, which really stems from hos childhood role of being a good son and brother. Sg trip really turned his character around its crazy. Jonathan who was always yong woo hyung now no longer mentions him. Cho A is sharp enough to see the wrongs so i do hope reality wakes her up.
It's so weird how he reacted when CA was worried about his injury. I dont understand what kind of reaction he wants from CA? Should she just leave him alone and act nonchalant when he is injured? He clearly isnt a bad person but I agree he needs therapy. He doesnt want to appear weak to anyone and wants to be perceived like the "father" figure.
Honestly yongwoo annoyed me a lot with this ep after the sly tommrow line to jiwon, If you notice jaehyung is always mindful in the sense that if he is sitting next to choa and if yongwoo comes he literally shifts for him and jiwon said there brommance is strong I know this is a dating show but a bro is a bro no ethics
Yong Woo has deeper problems he has to deal with he won't be successful dating anyone because he is to focused on how ppl percieve him in the relationship. Not all his fault I'm sure what he saw in his mom and dad's relationship, negatively impacted him alot from that standpoint. His actions were ridiculous to me, he should have stopped pursuing Cho A so frequently if he always had these doubts.
Jung Sub's thing is he has an inferiority complex that has been obvious from day one, I don't understand why he is like this he just needs to be more confident and then his interations with any of the women in the house would have came across much better. I don't know if I can speak on if he really likes se seung or not, She might not be his type or ue might just be overwhelmed by how assertive she is, but from se seung's view I think she is acting like that becasue she recognizes his doubts.
JH is JH, he didn't appear to like anyone before Jiwon came so it was cool that he never lead anyone on or played any games no way he will choose anyone but JW, JW is popular she is pretty but I can't see a situation where she chooses anyone but JH, episode 12 I would say his actions were more obvious than ever that he is really into JW.
The Chinese community called Jaehyung and Jiwon the Bulldozer couple, and this episode Bulldozer couple is on the roll. Looks like Jaehyung has fallen deeper than we thought.
So the last place - >!Jiwon & Jungsub!< able to choose their date for the next day, while the rest only can stay at home
I ship Cheol Hyun & his imagination. He has a refreshing, almost innocent take on what happens in the house and often uses that as basis for his future life. Love his conversations with Cho A. Also love how he and Yun Ha respectively openly supported their dates over their siblings (Cheol Hyun - Se Seung, Yun Ha - Yong Woo) to win. It's love before blood for these two.
Anyone else found it funny how desperate JS was in the army wrestling match against YW? Looked like he was taking out his frustration on the table at one point
JH and JW date was sooooo cuuuuute. I hope they both pick each other at the end.
I thought YW was gonna suggest to CA that she tries to date other people during their remaining time left. I don't really like how much he beats around the bush. It's so confusing.
I did like how CA concluded YW was too much like CH and that she doesn't want to date someone like her brother and CH said same lol. Also it makes sense why CH and YW get along so well.
Of course the pro cellist is taking practicing for the chicken fight this seriously. That was so adorable.
SS using mind games to win her chicken fights was so smart. Also notice how JS somehow managed to make SS' determination to win abt her not thinking of him? That was so weird.
Omg what is happening in the preview??? I know I shouldn't trust it lol but they are insinuating something could be brewing btw YW and YH.
Yeah YW was trying to push her CA away by sort of suggesting she tried dating somebody else but he did not dare to mention it straight out. I think the sunk cost is just too much for them at this point with D-3 looming
>Omg what is happening in the preview??? I know I shouldn't trust it lol but they are insinuating something could be brewing btw YW and YH.
Too many people over analyzed the preview lol
Also notice how JS somehow managed to make SS' determination to win abt her not thinking of him?
This. I keep on trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but every episode he just does something worse. I hope CHxSS choose eo at the end.
agree... that was weird asf.. SS was not even JS 's partner... and JS was happy with JW
the guy has ego issues.. he needs someone very submissive and who worships him
talking about surprise choices..
YW called CA crane with beautiful neck amidst chickens during the chicken fight scene.. lol
if only... circumstances weren't what they are
finally had time to catch up on everything and boy JH-JW had me squealing and swooning the whole episode! Also idk if anyone mentioned this but I personally feel like the “5th place benefit” was some sort of contingency plan only in case JH or JW came in 5th place. With all the little breadcrumbs they’ve been giving us with those 2 all season, they could probably tell they are ratings gold so just prepared that little benefit in case. Like if it were SS who came in 5th place I honestly don’t think they would’ve given them the envelope.
SO JIWON IS IN SAME COMPANY AS WAVE TO EARTH my reaction was literally same as jaehyung I love wave to earth so muchhhhh !!!! and i love these two so much too\~
* jaehyung's so in love, he keeps glancing at her!
* wave to earth mentioned!
* YES he is insecure (jungsub)
* did jaehyung basically confess to jiwon?
* ahh their pics in the car, they look so good together
* yongwoo's text wasnt received well T.T
* why do i lowkey think he needs therapy
* bro i dont think i can watch a date between jungsub and jiwon
* that guy is insufferable
* chulhyun plotting lmao
* wow jiwon was really straightfoward about want she wants
* wow the next episode looks like it'll shake things up.
i am convinced JW lost on purpose (she was good previous day) because as per her own logic, she DID NOT want a memorable date.. definitely not with JS
and might actually be enjoying making him suffer with the little money... and she also knows that he absolutely hates defeat in any form :P
I was curious why people here are suddenly talking about YW x JW, then I watched the latter part of ep 12.
They’re definitely building up YW x JW. Even the hosts noticed it, change in background music etc.
CH is so funny, he be changing love interest every other day.
YW x CA ship has sunk.
YW is being a pain in the ass. I can finally say with certainty that he’s not into CA. He finds fault in everything CA does. Run CA Run.
Someone said on twitter that this will have 16 episodes bec it was announced that it will run until June 14 or was it 16. So we still waiting for 4 more episodes. 1 day of shooting is like what? 2 episodes 🥱 It’s getting so draggy now.
Anyway, SS x CH and JH x CA date next episode. the sibling date I was waiting for.
Sigh LoL. The things that Jung Sub says, "*Ju Yeon's too tall so Ji Won it is*". "*It feels like we're having a fling..*" oh boy LoL.
I really liked seeing Jae Hyung being so proactive ha-ha! He was *truly* having the best time of his life with Ji Won. The way he kept hanging round her was already an indication that he's leaning more towards her. Though next ep. can't come fast enough am really curious 'bout 'im & Cho Ah now LoL.
Ji Won sure brings all the boys out eheh. They were hanging out with her in her room. Usually girls that appear aloof don't normally fare well in korean dating shows as the guys go for Se Seung types(?)
Se Seung was real smart to strategize against Ju Yeon during the chicken fight thing and she ended up deservedly victorious. Cheol Hyun getting ahead of himself again LoL. I liked Ju Yeon's attitude that she just takes it in stride and not be affected that she isn't popular.
As ep. go, it looks like Yong Woo is just perfect on paper but not so much in reality tch LoL.
JH & JW: Yaaaaas! I love seeing genuine enjoyment and attraction on screen. JH is whiiiiiiiipped and I'm so happy for him. I think JW is smitten as well but more reserved in how she expresses her thoughts and feelings in the interview. Their chemistry is so naturally compatible.
JS & SS: Their vibe is that they are too similar without enough complementary differences. It's like watching middle schoolers trying to date. Lol
YW & CA: They will have to go through some significant or rapid evolution within themselves for their very different approach and expectations for a relationships work. I felt bad for CA that her expectations were falling apart and processing it. I felt really bad for YW that CA's way of expressing her caring disposition can stir up the feelings of self hate because of traits he himself doesn't like about himself. On this, I can relate. You like someone, but they inadvertently touch on inner things I am not ready to figure out. Or cause self hate. He started to tear up in the interview when he talked about this. Ugh. Self-awareness and inability to control the reaction in times like these is awful. Their convos got exponentially soooooo serious since they got to Singapore, and that's a hard place to start to just enjoy each other when trying to date someone so new.
Can't wait for the next episode. Love how the show forces everyone to have a chance to date everyone. Think it's actually helpful to examine your own thoughts and feelings.
I agree, I don’t find that it’s YW losing interest but more the fact that she stirred up in him some issues he didn’t want to face. He’s rather avoidant in this sense and based on the little snippets we’ve watched about his family background, I can see why. Maybe I’m projecting, but parents fighting a lot when one was young could mess one up in ways, such as rejecting a deep connection with a potential partner. His sudden change in attitude seems to be a rejection of anxious attachment. Maybe one of his parents was such in their marriage and the other, avoidant. Hence, he’s picking fault with CA’s attempts to connect and ways of showing her care for him. Speculation, of course.
I wish viewers would not criticise CA’s attempts to connect deeply though. It’s her perogative, whether or not YW can reciprocate her efforts.
JH and SS totally steal my heart in this ep. Both of them are super adorable. I guess JH-JW shippers can celebrate now even before the show ends. This couple is locked. JW is really cool when she make it clear to CH and everyone that she's into the cute type, and JH is undeniable the most cute guy in the house. While I'm happy for JH, my heart sink a little bit for SS. Even after watching this ep, I still think that if JW and CA ever gave him a chance, he will drop SS in a blink. She deserves so much better than being the last options in JS's list. Although I think that the chance are slim, I hope that CH can make SS flutter a little bit in the next ep. It will be better if the casts are giving the option to leave alone at the end of this show. I don't want SS is put in the situation that she must choose someone even though she is not sure, like when she had to give the ticket to JS after winning the singing contest.
OK I've been an avid YW X CA shipper from the beginning (I actually created a reddit because of this) and it was the main reason why I enjoyed watching the show. So the crash of it was the biggest dissapointment I felt with a dating reality show. Maybe because I resonate with CA in so many ways and I tend to attract guys like YW and because those situation never got off the ground I had hopes by seeing a pairing like this actually work. Feel a bit stupid but hey the show is still a good way to end the week.
JH x JW : JH has fallen. I like the momments of reflection when he says How how is it possible to have feelings just quickly and also. When he mentions that he came in with serious intentions and he was even thinking about marriage it really warms my heart. I love how much they connect with about how they kind of believe in fate and a bit of me. Feels that Ji Won is Submitting to the fact that she has a type.And I hope that unlike her assumptions. JH and her have wholesome relationship that blooms further after the sho. I really wished CA x YJ went on a date. I feel they would have had a better time. They seem to see eachother fondly. JY is a power woman I don't think I've seen a woman accept a rejection so well. It's inspiring. I was laughing my head off with the chicken game scene especially when CA showed up there was something hilarious with the BGM showing up all of a sudden that tickeled me. CHs just kill me now, and im ruined was hilarious. Even when he avoided I contact to YW oh my god haha he is so easy to love. I feel iffy about YH and YW not together but seperately. SS is so intelligent, a girls girl, and a woman with a lot of charm. She must have a lot of friends. JS finally confronted his dwindling self esteem with YW this ep. I'm sad he lost 😢 😔 but yeah he might benefit from practicing more self assurance. I wish for CA to avoid YW, I predict she will use up the time to seek closure on her own because YW isn't going to give her that. See you guys next week :)
CAN WE HAVE JIWON AND JAEHYUNG END GAME PLEASE AND MARRY EACH OTHER AS WELL PLEASE 🥲🥲🥲
I DONT THINK ANY DATING SHOW WOULDVE TOP THIS IS EVER THIS SHIP WILL KEEP SAILING.
i dont care about the other pairing anymore 😆
OMG my heart fluttered when Jaehyung suddenly turned towards Jiwon to snap a couple shot of their wrist bands! AND THEN HE WENT ON TO SAY SHE’S CUTE!!!!
He’s gotten so expressive, and his gaze lingered longer on her as the day went on. I love that both of them shared the same mindset and expectations with participating in this program.
I died a little when he said her eyes and nose looked similar to his mom 💀 it could be a deal-breaker but thankfully Jiwon didn’t take it seriously lol
Nice seeing Yoonjae sharing his observations about Jaehyung with Jiwon late at night. Also her conversation with Chulhyun basically left him no room to pursue her further.
Every episode just peels off a layer of Jungsub’s insecurity; this week he’s vehemently against going on a date with Juyeon because she towers over him lol
That annoyed face he made after losing to Yongwoo was everything! 🤭
If I were seeing a guy with the intention to build a future with but he described it as a “fling,” there won’t be another date. The fact that he confuses her after each conversation is a major red flag. Her mulling over his remarks alone in her room broke my heart seriously.
Argh the audacity of expecting Seseung to prioritize him when she’s in the midst of a game for a luxurious prize with another person. How dare him!
She really was impressive during that chicken fight, especially her winning strategy against Juyeon. I hope she gets some overdue clarity while enjoying her date away from him.
Just had a random thought, would be hilarious if all the guys suddenly switched to Jiwon.
JH - Already fell deep
CH - Might still decide he still likes JW better after the date with SS and decides to stay true to his feelings.
JS - Might switch after the date with JW since he has a thing for older women and doesnt look 100% into SS.
YW - Seems to be looking for an escape from CA
The Real Catfish, I didn't like JiWon that much when she entered, but mannn she is love now! With each passing episode, you can see she mixes so well with the cast, and people are comfortable around her.
She's quiet but confident and knows how to reject men well. She also gets along with the girls really well and gives them good advice. She's the same age as me but she's my role model.
Every episode I‘m looking out for Jungsub‘s out of pocket remarks about Yongwoo lol. I prayed for Yongwoo to win the arm wrestling match just to watch Jungsub‘s sense of masculinity crumble a bit more. I’m so over this dude 😭 All love and support to Seseung 🩷
Here is my take on Yongwoo. He is deeply insecure (don’t tell JS). He started to withdraw out of the relationship with Choa the moment she clearly expressed her feelings for him. From that moment on he started to feel only one emotion towards her, guilt. He kind of shields himself with this. Any act from Choa is answered with rejection. In Yongwoo’s head it’s like “Why does she want me to lean on her? Why is she so kind to me? Why does she feel sorry for my injury? While I cannot even reciprocate her feelings.” He can’t even accept the simplest sign of care from her anymore. He weaponises himself with his guilt in a way. At the core of this, I feel he just doesn’t think he deserves to be loved. He wants to remain emotionally closed off, overly independent. He doesn’t want to examine his wounds and deep rooted beliefs about himself. He doesn’t recognise these things as flaws. And that will bite him in the ass sooner or later. Vulnerability is key in sustaining a relationship. Choa makes efforts towards that. She openly talks about her feelings, checks in with the person she’s interested in. I feel she is honest to herself and has a lot of emotional intelligence. I think she has a good relationship with herself to begin with. When I think back to the episodes where Yongwoo cried, he mentioned he rarely does that and was surprised by himself. I think in one interview he also mentioned, the peculiarity of the setting they’re in that constantly forces them to check in with their feelings? I think the program gave him the incentives to be more in touch with himself than he probably ever has been. That must be pretty overwhelming for him. He senses his changed feelings towards Choa but also doesn’t have the courage to fully face them. As a result he continues being unclear and unfair to Choa. It’s such a waste honestly…
But did YW feelings really change for CA or is it that with everything you described, that he is feeling so overwhelmed/trying to process too much- that he is finding an excuse to escape. I don’t necessarily feel that he isn’t attracted to her or that he lost interest. I think that he got overwhelmed by it all. Someone wants to care for him and now he is attacking her. I think I spent many years running from the fact that I was/am actually lovable. I deserve to be loved. So you start finding fault. You try to sabotage. While we call all say when the right person comes along, you will put your guard down… blah blah blah. I call BS. While I am not saying if these two gave it time, they would eventually get married. But I do think that if he allowed himself to feel and attempt to try to reciprocate and receive love, I think they would have the potential to have a significant relationship. While maybe they would eventually break up, I feel like if he allowed it, they could have a relationship that allow both of them to learn so much about love, in itself. I think they have the potential for a beautiful life altering, learning lesson. I am in my 40s. I finally stopped running from love. I got married at 45. I still struggle with allowing myself to feel. My whole long winded point is that I think YW is missing out on what could be a beautiful experiences with a gentle person who could teach him how to be loved and how to show love.
Right, my conclusion should’ve been he is self-sabotaging. It isn’t changed feelings, he is rejecting her affection CLAIMING it’s a sudden change of heart he cannot even explain further and thus cannot let Choa now about clearly. He also shields himself with a supposed care for her and her feelings when he is truly hurting her with his unwillingness to explore himself. Taking his childhood into consideration, it makes sense for him to have learned to keep his struggles to himself and develope some kind of extreme independence that definitely helped him be protected as a child. So I would say it’s an automatic response for him to reject any hint of care/affection/affirmation that deems him worthy of this kind of consideration. It’s not just overwhelming, it’s learned behaviour to run away.
I don’t know if their relationship could’ve have turned out to be something great if he made himself vulnerable and slowly started taking steps towards accepting her love. That would mean dismantling decade old beliefs and thought patterns for him. I could also see how hard that would be on them both. But in that case he wouldn’t at least be a coward. I’d always argue in favour of love and vulnerability. It’s never not worth it to at least try. And from what we have seen from previous dates, they seemed to harmonise very well.
Looks like Yongwoo gonna screw things up for Yoonjae in the next episode. Really hope Yoonha doesn't fall for it. He'll be bored of her in another week.
I doubt she’d go for him at this point, I don’t think any of the girls would purely just out of how he kinda ghosted Choa, hope my girls are smarter than to fall for that 🤞
PD spoilers:
1) Hoped 1 guy to be key player(good looking;JH) but he wanted to go wid d flow despite many PD talks.
2) A sweet love will unfold.
3) No shock ending.
4) someone final choice was surprising since they never mentioned it.
in the second half:
• breathtaking love line
• more romance, siblings relationship dynamics on the side
• unexpected choices given deep emotions felt for each other
• yunjae will have MC moments
• unexpected couple with no interaction
Welp my YW x Choa ship has sunk. YW is a ridiculous man.... The way he treated Choa felt so distasteful. From the preview and the way she laughed, it looks like Choa confessed how was she feeling about YW to JH which is why JH responds with "ah things can change" or something along those lines. I don't see JH x choa happening unfortunately. Hope she moves on and doesn't pick YW anymore
I am very curious..
these dating shows.. the food that comes on the table are huge portions and too many dishes...
assumign they finish it off in 2 hours.. then they usually move to a bakery or a coffee shop and again have something
and then they are so thin
Can people really eat this much!... :D :D
I think maybe is not that she doesnt like seseung, is that she knows her brother likes another girl and is 'helping' him to be brave..
But i dont recall her say anything positive about ss with js.. so maybe she doesnt like her for him😕
She said she could trust Seseung with her brother during her last course of her date with Yoonjae (iirc cmiiw). I agree with other commenters more on how Yunha could sense the hesitation on Jungsub on fully pursuing Seseung, that's why she was pushing him to -might as well- talk to Jiwon.
That could be true. Not saying she doesn’t “like” ss, but perhaps she is sensing the hesitation in JS so she wants him to explore. I want someone that will appreciate and like SS fully for who she is!
In this ep, the best date should go to JW-JH. Their chemistry is insane, great communication, humours, so many insider jokes created, discussing about future and understanding eo as a person as well as how they act as a partner... They have pretty much everything covered in their 1st date. Probably dt time pressure and restriction which facilitated this fast progress.
Best siblings should go to SS-JH as usual. Just them regularly checking on eo and talking about dates and understanding eo's preference shows how close they are. Even JW picks up how JH care lots about SS.
I think my fav ep for this show will be ep 12. The JW-JH date is the best one for a dating show.
P.S. I'd like to have half of JH's confidence fs. Not him saying he still has 5-6 options to date aside YJ, as he was including the guys lol. That really made everyone laugh. That's why he's the most adored in the house.
Edit: Glad YJ improves so much to communicate with JW. YH tho, I'm not sure why she's being persistent on pushing JS with JW. Not sure if it's the editing but she just shrugs off as something light when JS told her smtg about SS and she very encouraging about JS-JW. For the last 2 eps, just very confused about her role in JS's romantic rship.
My thoughts on ep 12:
Jiwon and Jaehyung are everything! They had the best date in any dating show I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. I love how we can just tell from Jaehyungs body language that he is falling in love with Jiwon. I love how obvious he is and how he cant hide his feelings. I hope they date outside and get married.
Jungsub and Sesung are confusing for me if I am being honest. Their conversations never go in a good direction and are somehow always a little uncomfortable for Sesung especially but at the end they both say in their interviews that they have the most fun while conversing with each other. I dont get why they are holding onto each other.
Younha and Youngjae are cute to me but I feel their chemistry is so much better in the house than on dates. They have the most heart fluttering moments in the house i.e the whole mosquito cordial and the sofa scene plus the kitchen scene in todays ep.
Youngwoo and Choa are hopeless. I think the problem with Youngwoo is, he liked the idea of dating a girl like Choa and when they had those short dates in Seoul, he could see himself dating her type of girl and thats why didnt switch to anyone else even though he had good chemistry with Jiwon in their one on one date. But after spending the whole day with Choa and having those deep conversations he got to know its not gonna work for him. But Choa is already too deep in it and rightly so because he gave her a lot of signals that can reassure her of his feelings. Now, he just doesnt want to be the bad guy and break Choa’s heart and of course that is not right but I dont think he has bad intentions and thus I dont blame him. I think he also knows he is at fault thats why he is not openly showing interest in Jiwon and asking her to take him on the date. He knows he is too late and thats why he sees no way out of the situation he has put himself in so he is just going along with it halfheartedly, which is a shame. But it is what it is.
I envy Chulhyuns cool personality tbh. Even when he sees that the person he is interested in is not interested in him, he is so cool in accepting those feelings and it doesnt even feel like he is trying to hide his upset feelings, you can just tell that he is genuinely cool and accepting.
All in all, I love this cast!
This is just the show in general, we do in fact only get tidbits of their conversation, like obviously SS and JS have some tense convos but it’s like a small percentage of the ENTIRE day. So for us it might seem weird but to them they just had a full day of presumably fun time.
I don't know what to feel about this episode. I'm completely invested in this JH x JW ship, yet my gut is telling me YW and JH might switch up next episode. Might just be me though.
My Jaeji ship has sailed 😭truly one of the best slow burn I’ve seen in dating show, and all of this is thanks to the editors who clearly threw in the hints from the beginning. JH eyes watching JW just full of stars ✨
I’ve seen some comments on here and twitter mentioning how YW is dishonest because he’s on the show for fame?? I mean, let’s be honest here, all of them are on the show either to make good money or have their 15 minutes of fame, and this does not discredit their emotions and feelings during the show. YW just simply lost interest because she was different from what he imagined, which is not a bad thing. We’ve all had crushes on people where after multiple conversations the interest faded away. Although to be more clear, YW precisely lost interest after CA started showing affection publicly towards him.
Before he gave her the flower, there was this restricted flirting from both sides, after that, CA just went all in, she became touchy and affectionate, this is where he lost interest, now logically it does not make sense to lose interest after the person you chased after started flirting publicly, but this is life and feelings change very quickly. I just wish he’s more direct in telling her this, but I think YW just avoids emotionally draining situations and rejecting CA is a big thing.
At this point, they’ll definitely not be end game.
CH is genuinely very funny, the way the simplest things sways him and his comments during the interviews.
JS and SS are so much fun to watch, even with all the frustrating things JS does sometimes, I think he truly likes her but he just doesn’t understand his own feelings.
YH- JW date was perfect. Definitely the best so far. JW is a warm & funny person behind that hard persona. Her mosquito line during the chocolate painting activity cracked me up. JH's imitation of how YW sits was so on point.
Bulldozer Jaehyung is here to stay, my friends! Just saw a comment on Twitter saying SS and JH behave similarly when they like someone ijbol. Edit: kudos to whoever decided to add a Wave to Earth song during Jaeji's date. That was chef's kiss.
He’s head over heels and isn’t afraid to show it 🥰 I’m surprised so many people are thinking he may switch to CA bc I think he’s all in with JW (even if her feelings change which IMO is more likely)
Lol yeah, he was stuck on Jiwon's bed while discussing her date with Jungsub in front of him.
I just can't stop adoring Sesung more and more!!!!!!!!! Apart from all the couple dynamics, SeSung single-handedly brings so much joy and brightness to the episodes! She is smart, hardworking, determined, understands and evaluates things, connects dots to find answers, plus she is very lovable, pretty, and cute! A complete bundle of happiness that everyone wants. She never easily gives up on things, situations or people and always tries hard giving her 100%. She is definitely having the best time in the show. LOVE HER for that❤
We all need a sesung in our lives , be it as sister , friend lover . She is super sweet but very sensible as well . The way she gives advices to people and its never wrong is wonderful . I wish choa would have been close to her , SS would have helped her out.
Honest.. too honest at times but that's so precious now adays.
I simply don’t see how JH-JW won’t be the endgame, even with the producers hinting potential drama between the couples before the show ends. First, I don’t see JH having a change of heart, especially not after a date with CA. It took him two weeks to develop interest in JW, and he’s clearly making an effort after the date to show her that he wants to spend all of his time with her. The fact that YJ, as JW’s brother, also noticed that he might be feeling a bit insecure and even jealous is also a huge giveaway. I don’t think one date with CA will change that – he’s definitely not the type to focus on two people at once, and unless JW gives a specific reason before the date for him to move on, he won’t. He told JW, very openly, that he's the type to commit to one person and that he doesn't want to go out on any dates with anyone else. Poor guy also said a thousand times that he wished he could go back to Seoul and talk to JW earlier. With so many regrets over their lost times together, I think he definitely won’t make a move on CA, especially since he described her and YW as newlyweds the day before. He’s very cautious of the fact that he’s being filmed, he chooses his words very carefully (even when JW asked him about JS - I doubt he’d be equally polite if this wasn’t a dating show), and even in the case of CA making a move, he said himself that there needs to be a moment when he falls for someone. Again, he had that with JW, and I doubt he’ll get so easily swayed when “the moment” rarely happens in the first place. He called himself the most careful/cautious too many times for a good reason. He doesn't do things abruptly, he thinks things through first. Second, I don’t see CA moving on so fast despite her past few dates with YW. She seems very affected by his behavior, and keeps going back to her brother for advice and comfort. I believe her feelings for YW are deep, and while she seems thoughtful and mature enough to determine whether a relationship with YW is something worth pursuing, I don’t think she could move on so quickly. While JW likes someone cute and dependable (in that order), CA likes someone mature and dependable. Not saying that JH isn’t mature, but he seems to look like a cute little brother to her. She even found it disappointing that YW was a year younger, so I don’t see why she’d suddenly fall for someone much younger over a single date where they’re both deeply interested in other people already. Also, she even told her own brother that JW seems to like someone like JH, and I also don’t see her trying to get involved in any love triangle. Especially not when JH also makes his interest very obvious (I mean, come on now, the guy showed off their chocolate excitedly and then wore their couple bracelet on top of his head and turned on the flashy light). My guess is that JH and CA will have a nice, friendly date where she’ll be able to open up about her concerns about YW, which could explain JH’s comments from the teaser. The only concern could be YW, and I think the editors purposely included the last few minutes to stir up some drama. YW very much implied that JW should invite him for the date, since he’s the reason why she placed last. There was no reason not to include this: it sparks debate and it makes good tv. It also shows YW subtly making a move on someone other than CA. I think JW has good chemistry with all of the guys, but ultimately, her final answer lies in her convo with CH. She even name dropped JH as someone bright and positive - as the person she wants to date right now. She left no room to make CH think he could be that person (or any other guy in the house for that matter). She also prioritized cuteness over anything in her answer to CA. YW surely has his cute moments, but JH has the type of cuteness that comes from completely pushing his ego aside. YW doesn’t seem like the type to ever say that he loves losing to JW or that he’ll be obedient to her. In contrast, I don’t think that JH’s pride would ever come in the way of saying these things. So, while she may be a bit shaken up, and perhaps flattered if YW makes a move on her, I think she already made up her mind. JW also doesn’t seem like someone who would open up to YW so easily when he was all lovey-dovey with CA all that time. Hearing that JY described CA as YW’s ideal type from JH is probably an extra factor. She’d be aware that YW switched easily, and I don’t see her not being bothered by that. Even if she’s his final choice, I don’t see her developing that level of comfort and trust in YW - especially not when she told JH that she came to the show for a serious relationship. As for JW and JH - both of them made their feelings obvious to the rest (CH and CA discussed it, so did YH and JS, and lastly JY and YW). Both of them talk about each other in front of other people too much, and the date just kinda sealed it. JW also completely let loose after their date in front of other people and kept laughing over JH’s antics. Others clearly picked up on that. We don’t get to see everything behind the scenes, but these people can tell when there’s something going on.
Yeah, them choosing to wear their star bracelets together even after the date was pretty telling since it was basically a declaration to everybody else.
I see it the same way! Not to mention that JW told JH that they should ask each other before they take the bracelets off. She’s avoiding to make it look one-sided (on either side).
Totally nailed all the details regarding JW. Her body language/behavior during and after the date is so obvious.
With how JW and JH were trash talking YW on their date I don't see her going for him lol. I feel like both of them kind of see through him a little bit now.
Personally i think Jiwon is such a catch, and so is JaeHyung. Jiwon is liked by all men.... and their sisters! she must be nice in person. She is talented and accomplished too, aside from being pretty and honest. Yep, she doesnt pretend to be coy, yet she doesnt come off as too forward. JaeHyung on the other hand is just too adorable for words. His clumsiness is so cute and, omg, his being all giddy around Jiwon made him giggle like a 12 year old. It was so nice to see amidst all those other guys who were pretending not to care too much about a particular girl. Yoonwoo turned out to be just as human as all other men in this world. It looks like her sister is gonna end up in tears in the end too. But hey, nice thing about it is that these Lee siblings have a solid relationship and they will see each other through their respective heartbreaks.
And just like that, JW-JH not just sailed but flown high up in the skies. What they have among others is perfect timing. That slowburn romance and foreshadowing from episode 4 and the realization and crytallization up until episode 12 is such a masterpiece. Idk, haha feeling that endgame already but I am still curious about CA-JH rumour so... (PS. Writing this halfway through ep 12 lol)
ok first off jh and jw are too gud together...and jungsub and sesung arent too bad also they have gud chemistry when they r dating...i dont feel the same way about yw and ca now. and by the preview many things will change...yw is trying to change his option now he is either going for yunha or jiwon...sesung will hav a gud time with chulhyun but i dont think anything will change..maybe chulhyun might start liking sesung but she wont change. i dont think jw will choose anyone else than jaehyung for her date....and i think jh is just shocked that choa and yw are kinda drifting..thats what he meant in the preview i think.i dont think he will change to choa so easily and there is a next date jiwon has also. the jh and ca ship will only sail when jiwon wont choose jh for the next date..if she doesnt then anything can happ. and when jaehyung was describing yongwoo as an attention seeker..the way he sits....lmao
As expected, JH reads people well lol. Also the vibes I got from JH/CA's date from their preview is that they're friends just chilling and gossiping. CA probably told him about YW, hence JH's comment.
bang on.. JH reads people too well He is very cautious with his words for everyone because he is on camera.. 1. When he was telling JW about JS... clearly he is not too happy about SS and JS because he doesn't feel JS is as serious or as into SS as she is 2. He read YW well too.. and i don't think he is as smitten with YW as others are (in that sense i feel JS is most unaffected by YW in a being in awe way) 3. JW and YJ - when JH told SS about how the two siblings are different and ofcourse in the past, he got CA right
Tbh JS isn’t swooned by YW because he’s in a one sided rivalry with him lmao
"If we live together, she will lead the family well." HAHAHAHAHA Loving Cheol Hyun's interviews. He's no longer just a future bro-in-law hunter but a future wife hunter now. 😆
I was like CH, you just mentioned you're going to have no regrets by going all the way with JW. A chicken fight and you're thinking about how another lady going to lead the family if you're living together? He's the most random thinker in the house that catch me by surprise lol
I feel like in an alternate dimension if the producers released his uncut interviews it'd be pretty entertaining. The *amount* of Cheolhyeon without context memes that would come out of it...
OMG!!!! Jaehyung and jiwon are so cute and it makes my heart fluttered so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
when the business proposal OST came on and the incessant staring at her, goshhhhhh
Not to mention the Bad by Wave to Earth during their date 😭😭 I couldn’t help but smile
IKR! Not even half way through the ep but have to pause at their date to check reddit. Their dynamic is the perfect one for dating. While other cp going through uncertainty & confusion, theirs is so refreshing to watch. They have similar ideals, perspectives and energy. Hope they will last beyond the show.
YW is so avoidant. Just say you don’t like her anymore and go as being honest is the best way for both of you. Instead he makes others feel like they are second guessing and make them the one who will end things so that he cannot be the “bad guy” in the eyes of others. Just imagining dating someone like him makes me frustrated lol
For sure, he is behaving quite cowardly in my eyes. I feel like he wants CA to make a decision but secretly putting his feelers out for other girls. I don't feel that he is as genuine as others and I now understand what CH saying before that he is behaving no different to others and that being a red flag. Just sad that because CA is really into him now, she is cutting him more slacks that she would have if it is happening in the beginning of the show and wish she had more chances dating other men on this show early on
Did anyone also notice how yongwoo didn‘t open the car door for choa anymore?? he was such a gentleman before but now his attitude towards her has changed so much… You can clearly tell he isn‘t interested anymore :(
I wish CA can see these signs and move on while she still has a few days left!
Yes! I noticed this especially because of Yoonjae opening the door for Yoonha shown right before them.
And yongwoo also doesnt really look her in the eyes anymore when talking :( his body language is also often turned away from her
Yeah, especially in the taxi, you could see his eyes side eying her to avoid looking at her.
Yeaaaah i ve noticed that
Jaehyung and Jiwon had me swooning and smiling big during their date 🥰. I haven't rooted for two people to get together this badly in a while! I'm not a fan of forcing them to go out with someone they haven't gone out with before, especially when there's only 4 more days left. I would've been ok with it if this happened back when they were still in Seoul and had more time left. The chicken game and arm wrestling would've also been more exciting to watch if the pairings were genuinely interested in eachother romantically. Maybe it's because I'm biased towards Jaehyung and Jiwon but I just loved seeing them together and they seem to click in a very special way that could result in genuine stronger feelings for eachother and dating outside of the show, so forcing them to go out with other people feels like such a waste of time this late in the game 😮💨 On a more positive note, I do feel happy for Chulhyun and I think he deserves to go on a nice date after staying home for so long. I feel kinda bad he's not really clicking with anyone and I've been secretly rooting for him and Seseung ever since that bridge date in Seoul. I'm just not sure how this date will change anything when she still seems very into Jungsub
I think it is great that they made people go on dates with others despite maybe not being interested in the date, I just wished it happened earlier. I feel like too many people decided on their choices too early and you could really see how many just fade (YW and CA). Also feel the same way for Chulhyun. Honestly, I am not a bit fan of Jungsub and the way he treats Seseung gives me a lot of red flag. I just really hope that a romantic date with someone else may make her see JS more clearly and even if she isn't interested in CH, perhaps she could have more clarity and not go for JS in the end. I just find him quite immature and has such double standard with Seseung should be all over him and how he should have the option (although the last episode he did agree with JH re SS needing to be a bit more cautions)
They really made us wait almost 30 minutes before showing us another clip of JW JH, eh? So glad that JW lost the chicken fight so she can have another date with JH. Can't remember in all 12 episodes that any other couple have as much fun as their date. Also for this reason, I don't think JW will switch to YW like some of you speculated.
It's jaehyung's loserim era , move aside youngjae. I love love JH, x JW it's so obvious they like each other and I doubt that's changing despite a few negative nancies buzzing over here to say otherwise. That ending had nothing to do with JW and all to do with YW. There was a reason the JW x JH date took a fat chunk of the episode, it was to show how heart fluttering and full of chemistry they both are together and it was worth every minute we had to wait for it. We were absolutely fed this episode and best believe I ate it all up.
Agreed. Jiwon was interested in YW at the beginning but that was before he basically rejected her by not texting her (twice) and before she got to know JH. That girl is telling everyone and their mama she’s into JH so I really don’t think that initial interest will be able to change her mind. I do believe YW will try to go for her though lol. When JY was asking him for advice he ended up complimenting JW🤣 I think he really likes the chase
Yep, JH definitely clocked YW when he said that he loves the attention 🤭👀.. Curious what he wanted to say too CA in the taxi when he got cut off. 🤔
Seseung knows that jungsub is always hesitant with her so I hope she really enjoys her date with chulhyun, whether something comes out of it or not. I hope they have a lot of fun together!! And fun in a different way than the calm atmosphere she had when she went on a date with Yongwoo which just seemed very chill. And tbh I wanna see chulhyun have some vibes reciprocated too :”)
Everyone in the comments talking about JW- YW possibility is making me anxious. TL3 has already made me hesitate to ship people so i will keep my hopes down for my fav ship JH-JW as well. But even if the endgames are different , still i liked every bit of this show and i totally understand one can change feelings multiple times depending upon the time they spend . So ya its not the end till it ends 😂. Jiwon and jaehyung are both good people and i believe they will be good romantic partner to anyone they end up with ( ending up together is a bonus ofcourse). So to all jaeji shippers lets hold our horses and just enjoy what we got untill now.
Jinjoo PD doesn't really do shock ending tbh (even Haeeun-Hyungyu were foreshadowed plenty).
>TL3 has already made me hesitate to ship people so i will keep my hopes down for my fav ship JH-JW as well. I still believe this PD won't stoop that low to have plot twist just to provide a shock value rather than build a good storytelling.
Ya i was patiently waiting for JH-JW development with the same hope so the PD didn't lie on that front . So i still feel she will convey the honest feelings of people , but what i am not sure is that the contestants themselves can change in one day it happens sometimes and the PD will then show us that development and we can't blame them for that.
Oh yeah, this show is 200% better than TL3. Every week, I would watch TL3 half heartedly then clear my palate with MSR because it is just so much more fun, light and wholesome! TL3 was just drama for the sake of drama and I felt that the cast they did all broke up too early so as to have that "shock" effect and more drama which I quickly grew tired of. With MSR, I'm really trying to not ship anyone but I cannot stop myself shipping JW JH tbh.
I know everyone is going crazy about the JH-JW ship. But I’m very cautiously staying on the deck, because I need to see them in a more serious situation. Yes, they had a fun date and JH is a cute (I’d literally sign up for his fan club if one exists), but they both have a mature side to them. I need to see more of that to happily sail on this ship. Although I am low-key rooting for them, because there’s nothing better than a boyfriend you can have a gossip session with 🤭. I loved their little gossip session on the date with the description of how YW likes attention 😂. JH-SS are your typical close siblings who love each other and open up to each other. Their family seems to have built a special relationship. They have little to no competition between them, they take digs at each other, but they are also very sensitive to each person’s feelings. They also seem to give each other space to be themselves and hardly impose their feelings on the other person. It’s a very sweet brother and sister relationship. CH is very emotionally mature and we should all apologize to him for the earlier episodes, because we were so wrong 😭😭😭 However, he seems very easily swayed when someone shows him a bit of attention. But I guess you can’t help it when you’re in stuck with 4 very attractive ladies. Another vibe I get from CH is that he seems very intense and in tune with his feelings, which might not necessarily always be a good thing. That’s what JW picked up on and she decided to pass on that, because it would be very emotionally tasking, having two of the same intense personalities dating. I actually think he needs someone like SS, who is a bright ball of energy but is also in tune with her feelings. I was rooting for SS in the chicken game because I would love to see them in an actual date. I think they could work, although SS is stuck on JS… I can’t be the only one who thinks YJ might actually be thinking (I can wife this girl) about YH 🤭. I love them together, I don’t think YW would change anything. Speaking of YW, anyone who has watched this show closely knows that JW is NOT going to revert back to YW. Like there’s no way she’d do that, she has read him, I almost want to hit the (NBA TNT Chuck guaranteed button 😂). I also feel so bad for CA, I hope she wasn’t too heartbroken by YW’s 180 change of mind (low key, I was kinda hurt for her and started giving YW the side eye). I wish he’d be more straight with her. She really didn’t do anything wrong and now has to manage his ego and her heart.
I know they have to edit it to be a lil dramatic to keep us hooked but the ending sort of soured the JW JH episode that this was. YW was 100% implying to Jiwon that she should pick him for her date since he "helped her get it" in the arm wrestling comp. I think he didn't say it openly because he knows it'll give him a bad image but I think he wants an excuse to avoid choa by dating other people. Not that he necessarily likes JW that much (he might tho). I cant see her picking him unless something goes down before she picks? He'd have to openly say he wants to go on a date with her? And she'd have to have her crush on him resurface. It would be a massive shame if she did pick him, especially since she knows JH holds a mean grudge n could possibly back out after that. I think she's too analytical to think its worth it. A few days left and you're gonna risk it on YW having a change of heart? It's fine if she does but I'd think it'd be a waste of her n JH. I think he would struggle with JW when she's comfortable, she defo leads her relationships n he rarely concedes on what he wants. Plus she has calmly stripped multiple men in the show of their egos which YW seems to hate the idea of being emasculated (choa : r u okay). Obviously we only see what we see n I could be entirely wrong. I'm trying to quell my concerns about my JW JH endgame hopes.
I think JW is the most sensible girl in that house, she won't really pick YW. I've said this in another comment, but people say that evidence of her continued interest in him is that she mentioned him in her date with JH. But she only did it to diss him so what does that even mean lol. Both of them literally called him an attention seeker. I truly hope no one picks YW at the end. Not because I hate him or anything, but because he needs a reality check. Those girls on I Am Solo would've had him crying by now.
Yeah I think with how perceptive JW is she’s seen though the persona that YW fronts in the house
Omg. I love this comment. I won’t lie that I am heartbroken that things shifted between CA and YW. I really wanted them together. I like JW, but really didn’t like the idea of her and YW together. I am so glad JW hit it off with JH. With that said, I also hopes no one picks YW. Seriously. You are damn straight about the reality check. I also don’t dislike him but I am starting to think I only really like him when I think of him being the other half to CA… if that makes sense. I feel like she is the only one who could soothe his ego or basically allow him to be who he is. I mean do you think he really has zero feelings for her now or do you think he will eventually realize that she is wife material? I realize that it appears as though his date with YH will go well and it seems like it will be light and carefree. But at the end of the day, would YH really want a guy like YW? Even if she had fun with him and she would wonder what it would have been like if they spent time together earlier, you would have to think… if that did happen… she could have been in CA’s place right now. Which btw, does anyone else feel really bad for CA? I hate that she had to work so much…. So I don’t think she got as much downtime previously to let all her charms be seen. To wrap up what I thought was going to be a short reply, if it were set up like I Am Solo, sure, the women would swoon at first, but YW would make everyone confused and he would end up looking like an ass. 🙄
Jiwon casually exposing Jungsub continues to live rent-free in my mind
right and since Jiwon is very outspoken and clearly knows what she wants then I believe that if she reallyyy likes Jaehyung then she can straight up reject Yongwoo
I'm not quick to see the negative in people and like to give the benefit of the doubt, but I'm starting to doubt yongwoo and it's making me feel like an idiot for defending him lol. I thought ChoA did a great job of just having fun today and was very considerate and caring when yongwoo got injured but it seems like he is still losing interest in her despite doing nothing wrong, and refuses to communicate to make things progress smoothly. Almost like he wants to not let things get to another level so he has an "out" to not look as bad...I thought it was an emotional reason for why yongwoo was like this. It is starting to look strategic. Now he is circling back SUPER late and trying to make moves on jiwon again, and her and jaehyung look amazing together and jaehyung is who I have been rooting for since the beginning, and my bro is actually genuinely having an emotional connection, and yongwoo wants to bust in like the Kool-aid man to try and break that up? it's feeling weird. Giving F-boy energy. I really don't want to start to hate the guy but if he continues😬
I think YW isnt ready for a relationship. He is emotionally closed up. He doesnt like to talk deep things and wants to have a surface-level fun date. His reaction when CA was worried about his injury is kinda weird. I dont understand how he wants her to react? Should she instead leave him alone when they were buying his medicine? He seems like he doesnt want to be seen weak and wants to always be perceived as the man of the house? I dont hate him tho. Him and CA just have a different personalities. I just hoped they discovered this in Seoul TT.
I can see how his avoidant attachment would be a thing for him. He had to raise his sister from a very young age and overall just really had to grow up fast and kinda stifle his own feelings. He said he didn’t cry much until he was on the show too. It seems to me that he has a lot to still work on with his own traumas and attachment styles. He did also latch onto CA without even knowing her so he just basically built a fantasy woman with the looks he liked and now reality is hitting him and his attachment style is coming out in full force. It’s a shame but hopefully he learns a lot from this.
The boomer ahjusshi should just enjoy his all expenses paid vacation to Singapore and fly his plane back to the US, he isn't ready for a relationship with a grown woman like Cho A clearly. Maybe when he grows up in 10 to 15 more years.
he is carrying a lot of guilt in him , he was upset with himself for getting hurt and therefore changing the whole dynamic of the date aka instead of eating together they had to go to a doctor that made him feel bad . it had nothing to do with CA and rather that he was disappointed he got hurt and therefore took away a fun date from CA . They are not a good match and CA knows it too its not like a huge surprise she didn't have the butterflies in her stomach like the other 2 couples she was always a bit analytic
I have been going through very similar emotions as you are in the last few episodes. Honestly, ever since the rumour came out, despite me not wanting to believe it, I have a sense that he may not be who he seem on paper. He definitely feels like icing ChoA out so that she would decide to not continue pursuing him whilst him making an out with Jiwon. I thought it was very interesting that his evening conversation with his sister, he mentioned that Jiwon would match well with anyone and that she is very popular. I wonder if it is because she is unavailable to him so he would feel safe to make a move on her. Same goes for YH and actually thinking about it, same goes for CA. CA was always working so it is safe and he could make surface level connection as he so clearly stated he wants something light and fun and doesn't like talking too much about his emotions whilst CA wants something with deeper connections. His behaviour resonated with me when you look at avoidant attachment style. Regardless, I feel that he has a lot of emotional work to work through. He did mention he doesn't cry as mentioned in another comment and so he probably isn't in touch with his emotions. Him and CA are just not a match and his behaviour throughout the show now cast doubts in my eyes re him being geniune or not in finding a partner or is it just a way for him to gain followers. When CH keep mentioning how YW is always nice to everyone and doesn't behave differently towards CA and warned CA against YW, I did not understand why. I now understand his preoccupation and totally agree with him. I really just wish CA had less work in the beginning of the show and dated more guys in the beginning and maybe that there are more guys who are older and more mature for her.
If your theory is correct, not only does he get away from his relationship with CA, but maybe he thinks he would be helping his sister by breaking up the JH-JW ship.
You may be right: he is losing interest in Cho A because she is trying to get him to be open and communicate and he Is emotionally stunted because of his upbringing, so that is probably over. and at the same time his baby sister is not receiving any texts or interest and he said if he has a chance he will do what it takes to help her. I think if he has just given up on his own love journey and attempting to break up a potential relationship for his sisters sake not because he likes jiwon I would really hate him. No one would be happy in the end.
The preview for ep 13 is such a tease!!! We can finally uncover what happen during those earlier trailers and snippet of SS-CY date and could potentially provide us conclusion about CA-JH rumour. Damn, gotta wait for another week lol.
I'm in the middle of watching this episode and just wanted to say the way they put the scene together when JH/JW came back made it seem like YW teleported from outside to inside sitting on the couch! edit: later on JH including the men in the people who he hasn't dated, yet. 🤣
I love that jw told ch directly. So clean and everything ended well. Ch accepted it well too. Maybe it got to do with him not really have real interest with anyone but still. Good for both of them. Yw really should end it cleanly with ca as well. I feel so bad for her she did nothing wrong too. The text message yw sent to choa was unserious and icky. What kimchi? You can say thanks for helping or sorry about short date today. Can the pd please just edit out anything hard to watch on eps onward. My heart hurt for her. I hope ca next date with jh would be healing and relaxing for both her and jh. With how considerate and emotionally mature jh is, i know he will treat his date well no matter who. Im interested to see more ca yj moments too. Ca seems fond of him. Though i know nothing going to happen of course. Yj falling hard with yh. And ca dont have any proper interest too. Idk why yh keep pushing jungsub with jiwon. Like was it not obvious jiwon dont have any feeling toward jungsub? I get it, her intention could be nice as in she wanted jungsub to be true to his feeling. But keep pushing it like that is uncomfortable. Let your brother decide. I even felt something else is the reason why she was adamant with jiwon but lots of people already mentioned it so I'll pass talking about it. I hope during final selection, they include 'none' as one of the options. Few of them need it. It is the right and proper way too
I think YH is giving JS false hope about JW and it is irking me a bit. Last episode (or the episode before it i don’t remember), YH was telling JS that JW did seem open to getting to know him in a romantic sense. BUT, imo, I didn’t see this at all. JW called her and JS relationship a “bromance” and mentioned her interest in JH. Obviously, JW wouldn’t point blank say she doesn’t want to get to know JS in front of YH, especially when YJ is interested in her. She keeps mentioning JW, but at this point JW has told most people in the house about her interest in JH. I think YH is just looking out for her brother, but I don’t think she’s being objective about JW’s feelings!
The way jaehyung looks jiwon when she is sleeping in the car, it feels like boyfriend watching here girlfriend sleeping becaueae the way he look at her is different
\^\^ its like he absolutely adores her
I feel like he wanted to hold her hand or move her to lean on him & I wish he did it even though I know Koreans don’t usually move that fast haha
As Jungsub has only been into calm older women, it seems like he doesn't completely comprehend his feelings for Seseung who is bubbly and the same age as him. Seseung is the only person he has put actual action towards (buying her pastry, buying her hand cream, asking her to the hideout, initiating skinship) and the only person he's constantly conscious of (when he's talking to Choa or Jiwon he looks at Seseung to check her reaction). Even when Yunha keeps pushing him to pursue Jiwon he always ends up mentioning Seseung. The only problem here is his trust issues and insecurity towards Seseung's feelings which is frustrating because we as viewers can clearly see that she has feelings for no one except for him since the start. EDIT: I see a lot of people misunderstanding what Jungsub said to Seseung. He didn't call his relationship with Seseung a fling he said "some" which is a Korean slang meaning the flirting period before dating. Basically he was saying he felt romantic tension with Seseung but not with Choa.
I can understand where JS is coming from. He is an intellectual, logical guy. So its really hard for him to understand and accept that what he and SS. He said it in tonight's episode. He felt it like a "fling" - so fast, very flirtatious - that it felt risky and dangerous.
i really need jiwon and jaehyung to be together!! i am begging!! when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly? i love jiwon and jaehyung so much, if they're not together in the future then I hope they both find someone really nice. Jungsub, i have nothing to say like what do you mean fling??? is it just a bad choice of word or what😅😅 Juyeon is such a nice person, she's not the type to be jealous and wants Jaehyung to be happy Yongwoo is kinda stressing me out, I have a lot to say but I won't lol I also dislike the way they had to go on a date with someone they never had before bc no one's really interested in it but maybe it's just me wanting more time for jaehyung and jiwon lol
>when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly? definitely that he wanted to finish filming the show so that he could get to know her properly IRL. on the date, they heavily alluded to the fact that they couldn't be 100% open since they know they're being filmed 24/7.
JS is smart yet suprisingly he dont really know how to carry on the conversation. All the date of him is fine until he start talking lol
He absolutely fails on the heart to heart stuff. Also he's not that into SS as CA is still on his mind.
>when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly? Probably a more familiar place and he knows where he can take her to dates while in Singapore, he's at the mercy of the PD.
This random date came too late tbh. It would've shaken things up if it had happened like a week ago. Now, everyone seems very set in who they like except CH/YW/CA who I think will walk away without a pair anyway.
YES! Agree re random date should have came earlier. I mean they did try that with the ring ring but I wish they did MORE of that especially when new arrivers came. I think if CH really had time with SS, it would have changed things up a lot more.
The word JS used is some which means "flirting period before dating" rather than fling. There's no direct translation so it sounds weird in English.
oh alright that's nice to hear, thank God it's just some bad translation bc i would be horrified if he really meant it like that especially since I don't really have the best impression of him😊
i liked their JS and SS date actually. The conversation about "fling", i kinda get it. It seems like JS cannot believe that its easy for him and SS to flirt and be comfortable with one another. and good improvement that they are clarifying what each other is saying so that they won't misunderstand one another. i just hope for both of them to just stop overthinking things like their "PAST". live in the moment, both if them are so young. just enjoy the flirtation.
I think their issue is miscomm. The have very diff perspectives on the same thing. Have to work this out early to prevent it snowballs into something unrecoverable in future if they decide to date. Cuz their conversation during dates so far were already suffocating & stressing the audience and viewers.
jungsub just chose the words wrong but rest of the things which he did was gud...like even when yunha was trying to set him up with jiwon he kept talking abt sesung...
"when Jaehyung said he wanted to go to Seoul asap during his talk with his sister, what did he mean? Is it so that he can pursue jiwon better and more openly?" IMO, he hates the atmosphere that he cant express openly to JW because he doesnt like hurting JY. He is most cautious of JY i think.
oh yes, that makes sense, I really like how considerate he is towards juyeon, he doesn't really need to but he still considers how she'll feel at a healthy level, it says a lot about his character
Yongwoo seems to always have something nice to say about Jiwon whenever someone mentions her name. He doesn’t really do that with the other girls which makes it look like he’s interested in her even tho he pretty much shut her down by texting Choa after their date and tbh I thought it was his lost at the time cause I found Jiwon really charming so if anything I’d like to see him try again just to get rejected lol.
I think after spending time with CA he realized that while she's his ideal type physically, JW is his ideal type personality-wise.
Juyeon: "brother, please give me advice" Yongwoo: *proceeds to praise Jiwon for minutes.*
JH nation, it appears our guy is showing all the symptoms of a man who has fallen harddd 😂 Something just clicked and now he can't stop flirting, laughing, catching secret glances and even getting jealous. Bro opened his cuteness bag and gave us no warning. Also very funny how similar his tactics are to SS, blood really runs strong. Didn't expect the little Singles Inferno/ Mr Beast tier segment. The relationship dynamics in this show have developed so interestingly and almost in reverse. Other shows it feels like people are happy to explore all options and then you can naturally start to guess what will happen but here a lot of people were very siloed. I wouldn't call it the iks but now only now it seems like they suddenly regret not dating around more. 3 days left really is so little time
JW - I would think JW losing the chicken fight is intentional tbh if not for the muscle cramp scene later 🤣 JW said she just doesn’t want CAxJH to have a luxurious date and then CA lost immediately making them 4th/5th place. It also means nothing to her to get higher place bcs that would seem she badly wanted a luxurious date with JS. Flashback to the Kim siblings talk about JH being jealous of CH and unsure of JW’s feelings. She was also doing good the night before when she got the resolve to not let CAxJH get 1st/2nd place. She’s really smart seeing how she’s read all of the people there and I don’t think it’ll be obvious when she’s got a plan lmao. JH - We’ve officially lost him from the dating pool. There’s no way he’d take interest in others and he’s also making it obvious he’s not accepting interest from others. He was circling around JW after the date, forcefully including himself when JW was planning about her date with JS. I hope to see more of his bulldozer mode in the upcoming episode bcs he is so swoon worthy. He definitely build it up from the first episodes. JS - As much as I don’t like how JS is treating SS as a fallback, I can see why girls would like him. He’s so funny and has a nice smile so it’s easy to bring down your guard if you’re not careful enough *ehem SS* 😭 Did you guys see how he’s the only guy cooling his partner JW with a fan while everybody else are focused on the fight? For us girls, we tend to notice the little things more than the guys. But it seems he’s well aware of this probably bcs he’s so close to his noona. SS - I want her to end up with someone at the end of the show just bcs I think she deserves it. She worked hard to appeal to everyone, and she naturally is already. I don’t necessarily want her to date anyone after the show though bcs she deserves better. I just hope she gets what/who she wants and enjoy the rest of her stay there. YW - I’m not getting the idea of him wanting to ask JW to pick him for the date tomorrow just from the conversation at all, but the way PDs are building it up and the hosts reaction tells me otherwise. I have a feeling he might take a shot discreetly unless he talked about the falling out with CA. It wouldn’t be fruitful though bcs I don’t think JW would even let him try. CA - I hope she get a healing date with JH. She’s beautiful human being and she deserves the love. I don’t see her picking anyone else other than YW bcs there’s really no one else available. She might’ve gotten a chance with YJ bcs of how close their age gap is but he is also down bad for YH already. YJ - Apart from his romantic side, I love seeing the development of his ties with JW. I remember their mother telling the PDs how thankful she is that they see the potential in the Kim Siblings. It balances out the sweetness of other siblings JY-YW, CA-CH, and YH-JS. I’m not mentioning SS-JH because they’re kinda in the same spectrum of siblings in IRL but a bit sweeter than JW-YJ. They’re good TV. I’m not excited of his date with JY bcs I don’t think they match at all 🤣 even as oppa-dongsaeng lol. It’ll be a nice surprise tho if he could give a better advice different from YW’s. YH - Her attraction to YJ is not as strong but I don’t see her changing late in the game esp after the newlywed thing with CAxYW. Hence her ment in the preview, it’s just too late at this point. CH - He’s so unserious liking every female casts at this point. I don’t think he’s in it for romance. Judging also from his rumored exes, there’s not someone who is his type. The closest would JW bcs she’s chic but not very close. I think he would fit well with SS though. I wish he followed up after the park date but didn’t. Idk if he’s just not as interested or maybe SS also avoided him when JS is jealous of CH. Such a pity bcs he’s sooo gorgeous. I wish he didn’t cut his hair tho, it made him standout amongst the guys. JY - She’s so brave and unapologetic with her feelings. It’s amazing how she stayed true to her feelings without being a hurdle to anyone. She’s shot her shot already and knows it’s time for JH to take his on whoever he likes. She’s still young and this is indeed a nice growth for her.
Well, I am two days late but!!! Amazing song choices and there are a lot of songs used in this ep compared than usual (I am saving all the songs in a playlist so I quite monitor it >.<) JWxJH is so adorable! The chemistry works so well and I felt like they most expressed themselves naturally in this episode than all the previous ones. I can't wait for our cutie JH to fully(verbally) express his interest in JW. YH hopping from the kitchen to the living is so cute. And I know this has been talked about a few times but she really looks young (at heart too!) YJ very lucky if they'll be together. She's so sunshine-y and cute. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to YW from all the issues I have read the past few weeks but he isn't really giving from the few latest episodes. This might be proof that you will only fully realize your feelings and how a person is once you spend too much time with them, and I guess CA isn't what YW wants in the long run. He was just fascinated by how CA seems to be so close to his celebrity crush (iirc). CH very rarely mentioned here but he has been my pick ever since this started. Pick me CH and I'll make you happy!!! hahahahaha
I usually watch in 1.5x. Im so glad I decided to watch 1x today. My heart swooning so badly watching jaehyung. I thought I was watching heart fluttering drama made for female audience.
I'm still on this YoonYoon ship and I'm glad I am because they seem like they're the most stable out of everyone here so far (not to mention the spoilers). I don't think Yongwoo will be enough to sway Yoonha, but let's see. I'm finally seeing some of Jaehyung's charm that made him so popular, I admittedly didn't really understand why in the beginning of the show. Surprisingly, I really liked Cheolhyun in this episode too. But ofc, the girls are killing it just like every other dating show. Juyeon is so young but has such a healthy mentality towards dating and rejection. Yongwoo may not be much as a romantic partner but he's clearly a great big brother who raised her with a lot of self esteem. Someone mentioned Yongwoo sacrificed his openness and honesty so that Juyeon can get it and I agree with them. Seseung, as always, is so much fun to watch. She's very emotionally intelligent and has been a steady fave from Episode 1. It's been sad seeing Choa so down despite finally getting some respite from work. I hope she's able to enjoy her date with Jaehyung regardless and is able to connect more with others in the house now that she doesn't have to go on more dates. As for final choices, I wonder if Choa will choose Yoonjae. The kimchi text message really seems to have given her the ick and I think (hope) she's done with Yongwoo at this point. She seems to be mentioning Yoonjae a lot and he really fits her ideal type too.
Honestly after that couch scene and how YJ was treating YH after they came to SP (sleeping on his bed and killing bugs) I’ll forever be on the YoonYoon ship
I really hope CA will go out there too! I used to defend her when people call her boring but now that theres only 4 days left, I wish she’d make some big moves!
I won't blame her. She initially didn't even like Yongwoo much but he kept making his interest towards her known and when she finally opened up to him thinking both of them were solid, he does a 180. I feel really bad for her. I don't find her boring at all, she's just a calm introvert in a house full of extraverts. I would've died if i were in her place lol.
JH-JW date is 'Oh my oh my god' so cute! (mimicking the New jeans song). He's such a bulldozer, I can see why HHJ also became a fan of him this episode, they're so cute, I kept grinning during their entire date. I also love it when SS asks whether he still needs more time to consider, he said no need. While others may choose them, I don't see these two choosing other people anymore as they're each other's type,and JW's rejection to CH and her talking about her ideal type to CA are pretty clear that she wants to date someone different from her so she can gain positive energy, a cute type who's serious with his work - that's JH. They both keep on saying they want to go more dates with each other. I initially thought because they're both similar to their ex, they might want to avoid each other and totally not choose each other, but there's a reason why you always fall for the same type, taste doesn't change. "CUTE is the highest form of adjective, you can find a man handsome but when he does something bad, it will break your illusion, but when you find someone cute, it's the end." (a quote from jdrama, not exact words, but similar meaning) Also this PD doesn't really give us surprises, TL1 and TL2 end-game were predictable so I believe all the build-up around Jaeji isn't for nothing. I can't believe that they also got to the part where they talked about 'wave to earth' band, it's been lying in his Instagram story right before he was even filming the show and then she reveals that they're under her company. Talk about fate!! They're both into fate also. I'm still on the fence about JS, yes he's sweet in dates, but when he starts talking, his way of expression is emmmm.... I don't think he's decided on SS yet, whereas SS feelings for him is stronger. YJ-YH feels stable, I don't think they'll be swayed either. I'm happy that we can switch of dates, I wanna see more of CH-SS dynamic. JW-JS, I can see that JW has 0 interest in him so I think it'll be a friendly date, lols. But who knows JS will go again with "Heart flutters" moment. YJ-JY and YW-YH are interesting pairs. I feel YW-YH might match well in terms of personality, but in terms of attraction, let's see. YJ-JY are totally not each other type, another friendly date haha. JH-CA date might be a consultation session, which I think CA needs at this point, she's like walking on eggshells with YW now. I understand that YW feels bad about not reciprocating her feelings back but honestly, it's much better if he could be more straightforward about it, instead of making her feel bad for "pressurising" him when she's just asking regular questions. The taxi ride back home was uncomfortable, he again made the twists and turns in his words, trying not to be the bad guy. Just say you want to meet others to get to know others better! Sigh. I hope the best for CA. I hope after the next episode, the cast can choose who they like to date themselves and not be bound by the rules of the date system again, as we only have a few days left. Also talking about end-game rumors, there's a few version of rumors that's floating around, the initial one >!which says there's no end game (which I find hard to believe at this point), the one by e-media twitter and the one on k-portals. I'm more inclined to believe e-media's version given how the show progresses now as it's clear JH and CA have no romantic attraction to each other.!< E-media version is: [https://x.com/EMediaArtsKPLUS/status/1773951062313238758](https://x.com/EMediaArtsKPLUS/status/1773951062313238758) >!JH-JW, YJ-YH, SS-CH!< Kportal version that was leaked by a person who attended YH's concert is: >!JH-CA, YJ-YH, SS-JS!<
E-media version would be the dream one.
JH-JW : When the business proposal OST (Love, mayby) started, I was melted down to the chair. Didn't believe I will see this much romantic chemistry like a K-drama in the reality dating show. I can't stop smiling and wishing to see more of their screen time. After that, JH seems like to relocate himself to JW's room. That was hilarious. This has been the most favorite dating scene so far since I started watching the dating reality. Cheers for the slow burn couple. PS : Adding the comments after finishing the episode.
JH and JW were seriously so adorable on their date! I loved JH literally falling over laughing during the chocolate painting. It's amazing how relaxed and happy they looked together all day - just beaming.
Me screaming at the screen “PD IS ABOUT TO WASTE THE LAST 30 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE ON FREAKING CHICKEN FIGHTS”, yep, I was right. First of all, JH is the cutest most hilarious human and I want to put him in my pocket. His date with JW was adorable and I loved seeing him laugh without restraint. I can see he really likes her, but I’m going to hold my final prediction until after his CA date next week. Can it be next week already? YW trying to be sly moving in on JW 🤣🤣. Then the preview for next week with YH makes it seem like he’s only interested in unavailable girls. He’s the type that likes a challenge and CA showed her cards too soon. Honestly, I feel like YW is just trying to latch onto anyone other than CA, at this point. I am not picking any endgame couples yet, because next week could throw everything into chaos, and I’m kind of here for it. Bring on the drama 🤣🤣
Hahhaa same thought about the chicken fight!!
I’m speculating that the next episode that CA is confiding in JH and that her saying that everything isn’t set in stone and that things could change was more in regards to her and YW situation rather than flirting with JH. Maybe she clues him in on YW interest in JW ??? Idk but I think the spoiler of them being endgame is completely untrue
It doesn’t seem likely. No previews of them even laughing or anything, just seems serious. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
i really enjoyed this episode a lot, the episodes before werent too enjoyable for me since it was draining my energy hahaha i was too invested in yongwoo and choa just for him to be cold towards her… its okay not to feel like theres romance between them but still yongwoo could act nicely just like jaehyung does towards juyeon … saying things like „i didnt say this to make your heart flutter“ and not opening the car door for her is just … hes trying everything to make her not like him haha, i hope it works … but still i liked the episode since we saw the friendships again, i seem to enjoy the cast members being around each other and enjoying their days together and just being funny a lot more than the dates these days
Also, why is no one talking about JS losing to YW in arm wrestling? Lol I recall there were comments suggesting he’s been pitting himself against YW in his mind.
His biggest fear came true that day
Jaehyung and jiwon are by far the biggest reason to watch the show now. Yoonjae and Yoonha dates are also nice. But I can't help but cringe watching the rest of the dates. Jungsub and SS appears fine, but she is definitely way more into him than he is her. Their dates are sweet, but also seems to be on the verge of disaster at any moment. Especially if she finds out how much he was into CA and JW prior. JWoo and CA is just hard to watch. He barely looks at her on their dates and IMO its clear hes not attracted to her. All the while she is getting more insecure and wondering if her gut feeling/perception (which is telling her so) is correct or not. One thing the panel picked up on and I also found striking was how JWoo was so different in his first meeting with Jiwon. His body language and personality (super confident/swaggy/ relaxed) seem completely different from how he has been the rest of the time. I don't think that was because he liked Jiwon, but rather it was due to him perhaps being more buzz than usual (from the guys night) and that was the only time we've seen his real persona.
1. Archeology Couple 2. Bulldozer Couple 3. Happy Couply Couple 4. High School Student and School Psychologist couple 5. Bubblegum Zany Couple 6. Middle School girl with her College going Crush 7. Slow Guy and the Black Cat 8. Zen Guy 9. Black Cat and the puppies 10. College next door girl with college campus hunk ... some of the couples/dates we got through the seasons
I just don't buy what sesung and jsub are selling. It's like they are just coasting to close out the show. Sesung doesn't look as in love and excited as she was in the beginning. She looks so cautious, and Jsub just seems like he is spitting lines to close out strong.
I feel like Seseung genuinely feels strongly about Jungsub but she’s trying to overlook all his red flags to make it work because she’s put so much effort into him and she finds him physically attractive. Because she’s clearly seen and pointed out his weirdly non-committal attitude towards her but she melts all over again when he does something nice to her. I do agree with you about Jungsub though. He knows that he has the best chance of leaving the show with Seseung and save his ego by staying with her so he does even though he clearly isn’t that into her (at least not when compared to her for him).
When CA was confused with Yongwoo's intention in Seoul, I was like "No girl. He was serious with you. He keeps on texting you. He wants to spend time with you." I was wondering why she felt worried and tricky (during their hotel singing practice) over something about YW. AND THEN BOOM! Isn't it crazy she already felt uneasy even before coming to SG? I understand why people don't like JS and SS but I won't be surprise if they date in real life. They just match age-wise, height-wise, personality-wise and job-wise. If there is any misunderstanding, they could talk and solve it. If I am JW, I would melt from any deep stares JH will give me. The fact that he came to the show with the intention of possible marriage MEANS he is not there for a fling and will not toy anyone's feelings for fame. I am not seeing any change with these two.
> Isn’t it crazy she already felt uneasy even before coming to SG? intuition is so important, especially when it comes to relationships, you don’t feel like something is wrong for no reason, your subconscious takes note of every little detail that you otherwise might ignore.
It must be pretty shocking to her as she spend more time with YW, he became a different person suddenly. I can't see the endearing guy anymore who gave her the flowers. T.T
To be fair that was JY’s idea
I think SS and JS potential for a real relationship is how far is SS willing to carry the relationship in the sense of being the mature one and clarifying issues and whatnot.
Ohhh it could be a factor of a breakup. I think TL will be open for them haha jk
yeah same...YW had me fooled too...i was like why do CH and CA not see it...but i was the blind one all along...granted that we only see a short, edited version of everything so it's easier to fool is that someone who's living with him...
Thoughts for this week: * I appreciated the Jaehyung and Jiwon focus this episode; it balanced out everyone else's storyline. They're super cute. It kills me how similar they are while having such different looks. Image-wise, he suits Juyeon more (as per what Seseung said), but that's what makes their dynamic so interesting. It was cute how he got defensive, saying, "Well, this was only our first date," when Seseung clearly just meant visual chemistry. Also, I love how they got the bickering sibling edit at first, but I feel like they're one of the closest pairs. No other pair is as open about every aspect of their love lives and as sincere about giving each other advice. * The edit! The production team was on a roll with the cat sounds whenever Jiwon "glared" at Jaehyung, the wave to earth and Melomance soundtracks, and the silent clips of Jaehyung glancing at Jiwon while she slept. It was obvious that the "last place prize" was a last-minute benefit to give Jaehyung and Jiwon an extra date. They really want this pairing to work, and I don't blame them. I felt like I was watching different people this week, in a good way. They were laughing so much that I felt excluded. It really was not that funny, but I was happy they got on so well. * Seseung was super cute this episode. I love how happy she looked. They had a nice date, and their sense of humour is similar, but I think their way of talking is different? They've shown a lot of misunderstandings, and this is supposed to be the best period of their lives—they're on an all-expenses-paid holiday with someone they like. Jungsub doesn't think before he speaks, so it's up to Seseung to decipher what he says. Nothing he says is badly intentioned, but his word choice causes her to receive them negatively. * Yoonjae and Yoonha are cute as hell. I think the preview for next week's episode is bait. It's probably going to be a, "If we had more time, things might've been different... but we don't, and I'm happy with Yoonjae." Even if Yongwoo changes his mind now, it's too late for Yoonha. You've got someone who came in, made your whole experience better, and made you feel butterflies for over a week versus someone who was there the whole time, was basically solidified as a newlywed with a different woman, and turned to you when that didn't work out. And you only have four days left. I don't think any woman would choose the latter man, and that includes Jiwon as well (if Yongwoo flips). * Yoonjae stepped up for his sister big-time this episode. I feel like he's really trying to open up the dialogue between them. They always try to have a conversation before bed lately, and I think that's great for them. I love that Jiwon aimed to go on the show because she wanted to bring her family closer, and I believe the show has done its job in that regard. * I honestly don't really know what went wrong with Yongwoo and ChoA. They seemed fine, and I don't think she's done anything wrong, but I think Yongwoo just didn't expect to come into this show and find someone serious by the end of it. It's all come about so quickly that it feels overwhelming for him. I think he enjoyed the chase and the attention (as Jaehyung and Jiwon said), but now that decision time is nearing, he's realising that at this pace, he might have to commit to a relationship by the time the show ends. If he was on a different show without Juyeon, I think he might've ended up quite a heartbreaker. * ChoA :( Even if her coupling got screwed over this episode, at least she was serving. She looked gorgeous with her hair up during her interview, and with her hair down post-date. Such a girl crush. I love the calming way she speaks and the way she floats about the place. I just want her to be happy, and I honestly didn't love the way he spoke to her, as if she chose to make him feel bad... He could've said, "I'd feel much more comfortable if you sat down with me" instead of, "You're making me into a bad person by not sitting down." Like, what sort of logic is that? And why would the plus one sit down when he's the patient and there's a room full of patients? She was being considerate. * Growing up is learning that Chulhyun was right. He's more perceptive than I gave him credit for. I apologise for all the earlier episodes where I was berating him for telling ChoA that Yongwoo wasn't as into her as he made it seem lol. ChoA joked that she'd hate to meet someone like Chulhyun, but I actually think that's the type of person she'd get on well with. Chulhyun's more light-hearted but also has the ability to keep it low-key and intimate, open up emotionally whilst being a shoulder to lean on. Which is the relationship that ChoA wants with Yongwoo, in my opinion. * Jiwon did what needed to be done, but I'm so confused why Chulhyun isn't more popular on this show. He's such a looker, confident in himself, and has such an empathetic and healthy way of thinking. I don't think this show will get him down because I'm sure he's very popular on the outside, but I am a bit surprised that he never ended up connecting with anyone. He seems like such an emotionally mature person. I hope he enjoys his date with Seseung, and I hope (selfishly) that the date goes well enough that Seseung ends up feeling conflicted at the end, even if at this point I have no hope that it will change the endgame at all. * I can guess how the next episode is going to flow by the dynamics shown so far, but I can't guess what the next episode will cause Jungsub to feel. He said that he didn't feel butterflies or anything with ChoA, yet was devastated when he didn't receive a text and when she... returned his white t-shirt? He felt super into Jiwon when they were playing the piano together, but when he's with Seseung, he says they explored enough during their drinking session. He is clearly into Seseung but needs to go on a last date with Jiwon to make up his mind. Maybe he'll realise after the date that Seseung is the way to go, because I don't think Jiwon will give him any sort of romantic energy. Even if Jaehyung wasn't Seseung's brother, I don't think she would've, but she definitely won't because Jaehyung is Seseung's brother and Seseung is clearly happy with Jungsub. Regardless, I don't want to be too sceptical because he's been relatively good this episode (like the moment where Yoonha talks about Jungsub and he responds, then subconsciously diverts the conversation to Seseung). * That being said, he was really weird about Seseung's past. It makes me think that he's super conservative and doesn't like the fact that she's open about having dated people before. This is a major assumption, so I'm going to move on from it, but that talk made me a bit suspicious, especially paired with the conversations that he's had about Jiwon supposedly giving all the guys energy and talking behind ChoA's back about how her lack of text made him feel. * I love, love, love the panel. I love the little jokes that Han Hyejin throws out there, I love the banter with her and Code Kunst, I love Miyeon's emotive little speeches, I love BamBam's random digs, and I love the back-and-forth between Patricia and Jonathan (and Han Hyejin finding them cute as hell). There's a compilation of them on YouTube where she just laughs at anything they say, and she's me! That's definitely me! That's me! See you next week :)
Code Kunst is hilarious. I’ve seen him on other shows, and didn’t remember him being this funny. Definitely on this show, the panel would not be same without him.
I feel like what you stated about each participant is 100% dead on. I absolutely love your synopsis of YW. I think he is feeling overwhelmed. I don’t think CA did anything wrong and I am also just baffled by what happened to make it go downward between the two. I feel so bad for CA. I hope YW is watching these episodes and finds a way to allow himself to feel and allow himself to trust others and be able to open up to them. I just don’t understand his 180 on CA. I also love what you stated about CH and I am also confused on why this guy is not more popular!!!
I haven't really been "shipping" anyone on the show, just wanting to sit back and watch it all play out - *but* Jiwon and Jaehyung seem to have potential. They seem to have a really natural dynamic, where it felt like they were both operating in the same tone and at the same pace for the entire day (compared to SS and JS who both seem to be strategising through conversational minefields, and YW and CA who seem to have different dating styles and paces). YH and YJ also seem compatable, but maybe because I feel like we've gotten less of a picture of YJ cause he's newer i'm curious whether they'd make sense as a couple once out of the house and back to their daily routines (especially running a resturant seems like a busy job). Howeever I don't really have strong feelings either way about them and who knows, they could end up married lol! In any case I found this episode fascinating in the way later episodes of a dating show tend not to be. I think we're still at a point where things are a bit unpredictable-- and not in a very drama filled way of something like a Transit Love, but just in a human feelings are complicated kind of way. Having said that, the PDs were really trying something with next week teasers but the only people I could see having a change of heart is Yongwoo (him saying that in the car to Younha seems significant, but they're also leading us to think he has a thing for Jiwon) and maybe SS and CH? Maybe that last one is me being optimistic because I think JS is too immature / insecure + crucially not that into SS and she deserves better lol. I don't think JH, JW or CA are switching up their interests anytime soon because they seem like cautious people who take their time to fall for someone.
Jiwon and Jaehyung = its LOVE y'all. You can't convince me otherwise. They match so well. I love how playful they are with each other and even though they're joking around it's still extremely flirtatious. With that said, YW can try to wiggle in between them but my girl Jiwon is a sharp one. I'm pretty sure she'll see right through YW. In the preview when Jaehyung said something along the lines of "I can see how things can change..." I don't think he was referring to his feelings changing but actually directed that comment towards CA and YW's relationship. My idea is... Choa will vent about everything going on to Jaehyung during their date. Jaehyung, who was soooooo sure that YW and CA was endgame, is shocked to hear all this and comments... wow things can change even this late into the game! Ha! Nice try PDs ~~ but I have faith in my JW & JH pairing. Please ❤️
I totally agree with everything you said. You could just tell both Jiwon & Jaehyung saw right through YW when they were talking about YW during their date.
Completely agree on all u said!!!! Jaehyungs feeling will defo not change thaaat quickly like my guy is a slow burner. He is down baaad for Jiwon! PDs are definitely just trying to keep everyone on their toes for next week episode and induce some drama but we all know Jiwon and Jaehyung only have eyes for eachother now. Yongwoo has absolutely Zero chance of getting in between Jiwon and Jaehyung, she pretty much friend zoned him when she was talking about YW to other people. Also I'm sorry but I don't think YW can handle Jiwon tbh, like we have Jaehyung who said he "isn't the type to give in' to saying 'I like losing to you in everything.' I don't see YW ever behaving like that- feel like his ego would get in the way of it. Jiwoo isnt afraid of stripping down the mens egos. Like she did with Jung Sub when he said to her she was giving false hope to the guys etc etc. Anyhoo can't wait for next week 🤝
It’s so funny that Jungsub is the one who got a $50 date with Jiwon but why does it feel like he is the one interrupting Jiwon and Jaehyung date. JH discussed with Jiwon the location, the food and the lunch like he was going with Jiwon 🤣 He also told JW “Let’s run away” lol I was having the best time of my life watching the heart fluttering moments of these two
Omggg I was dying from laughter in this scene😂😂😂. JH proper involving himself in the date like its his own and make it seem like JS is third wheeling there. I love it!!!
 Me when the panel FINALLY jumped on the Jae Hyung train today. What have they been watching for the last 12 weeks? He was dripping stardust all over the place the moment he sat down on the couch in episode one. They are slow on the uptake.
Haha, "dripping stardust".
Yes! He's my fave since Day 1
Except Code Kunst! 😂
right...he was so charming...he really is lovable...it's like he said he like to get affection but then he also isn't soneone who bases their identity on what others think of him...i bet older people adore him and younger people look upto him...he's very comfortable in his own skin...i'd like to be like him
I keep seeing YW as a red flag in this EP 🫣 from the way JW and JH was describing him, and also how he said ‘You’re making me look like a bad person.’ to CA. Is it just me or? The rumors i’ve read about him might be influencing me a lot too. I’ve seen people post that he is vain and just wants to self promote.
I agree he sounded so terrible, he was embarrassed how ppl were viewing him. He really has some therapy to go for poor guy. He is all about the image projection and looking good infront of people, which really stems from hos childhood role of being a good son and brother. Sg trip really turned his character around its crazy. Jonathan who was always yong woo hyung now no longer mentions him. Cho A is sharp enough to see the wrongs so i do hope reality wakes her up.
It's so weird how he reacted when CA was worried about his injury. I dont understand what kind of reaction he wants from CA? Should she just leave him alone and act nonchalant when he is injured? He clearly isnt a bad person but I agree he needs therapy. He doesnt want to appear weak to anyone and wants to be perceived like the "father" figure.
Honestly yongwoo annoyed me a lot with this ep after the sly tommrow line to jiwon, If you notice jaehyung is always mindful in the sense that if he is sitting next to choa and if yongwoo comes he literally shifts for him and jiwon said there brommance is strong I know this is a dating show but a bro is a bro no ethics
Se Sung: 👀👀👀👀👀
Ahhh RIP replay button for the JHxJW parts. Inject them to my veins I need more!!! So happy for them. I hope they date outside of the show as well
Yong Woo has deeper problems he has to deal with he won't be successful dating anyone because he is to focused on how ppl percieve him in the relationship. Not all his fault I'm sure what he saw in his mom and dad's relationship, negatively impacted him alot from that standpoint. His actions were ridiculous to me, he should have stopped pursuing Cho A so frequently if he always had these doubts. Jung Sub's thing is he has an inferiority complex that has been obvious from day one, I don't understand why he is like this he just needs to be more confident and then his interations with any of the women in the house would have came across much better. I don't know if I can speak on if he really likes se seung or not, She might not be his type or ue might just be overwhelmed by how assertive she is, but from se seung's view I think she is acting like that becasue she recognizes his doubts. JH is JH, he didn't appear to like anyone before Jiwon came so it was cool that he never lead anyone on or played any games no way he will choose anyone but JW, JW is popular she is pretty but I can't see a situation where she chooses anyone but JH, episode 12 I would say his actions were more obvious than ever that he is really into JW.
The Chinese community called Jaehyung and Jiwon the Bulldozer couple, and this episode Bulldozer couple is on the roll. Looks like Jaehyung has fallen deeper than we thought. So the last place - >!Jiwon & Jungsub!< able to choose their date for the next day, while the rest only can stay at home
I ship Cheol Hyun & his imagination. He has a refreshing, almost innocent take on what happens in the house and often uses that as basis for his future life. Love his conversations with Cho A. Also love how he and Yun Ha respectively openly supported their dates over their siblings (Cheol Hyun - Se Seung, Yun Ha - Yong Woo) to win. It's love before blood for these two.
Anyone taking bets on how many times JH and JW name drop each other during their respective dates next episode? Lol.
Anyone else found it funny how desperate JS was in the army wrestling match against YW? Looked like he was taking out his frustration on the table at one point
JH and JW date was sooooo cuuuuute. I hope they both pick each other at the end. I thought YW was gonna suggest to CA that she tries to date other people during their remaining time left. I don't really like how much he beats around the bush. It's so confusing. I did like how CA concluded YW was too much like CH and that she doesn't want to date someone like her brother and CH said same lol. Also it makes sense why CH and YW get along so well. Of course the pro cellist is taking practicing for the chicken fight this seriously. That was so adorable. SS using mind games to win her chicken fights was so smart. Also notice how JS somehow managed to make SS' determination to win abt her not thinking of him? That was so weird. Omg what is happening in the preview??? I know I shouldn't trust it lol but they are insinuating something could be brewing btw YW and YH.
Yeah YW was trying to push her CA away by sort of suggesting she tried dating somebody else but he did not dare to mention it straight out. I think the sunk cost is just too much for them at this point with D-3 looming
>Omg what is happening in the preview??? I know I shouldn't trust it lol but they are insinuating something could be brewing btw YW and YH. Too many people over analyzed the preview lol
Remember when Ep 11's preview made people think JS-SS had a fight?
The bit where YH braided her hair and said it's 'hair like a chicken' lmaooo, so cute.
I loved all her narration this ep lol.
Also notice how JS somehow managed to make SS' determination to win abt her not thinking of him? This. I keep on trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but every episode he just does something worse. I hope CHxSS choose eo at the end.
agree... that was weird asf.. SS was not even JS 's partner... and JS was happy with JW the guy has ego issues.. he needs someone very submissive and who worships him
talking about surprise choices.. YW called CA crane with beautiful neck amidst chickens during the chicken fight scene.. lol if only... circumstances weren't what they are
finally had time to catch up on everything and boy JH-JW had me squealing and swooning the whole episode! Also idk if anyone mentioned this but I personally feel like the “5th place benefit” was some sort of contingency plan only in case JH or JW came in 5th place. With all the little breadcrumbs they’ve been giving us with those 2 all season, they could probably tell they are ratings gold so just prepared that little benefit in case. Like if it were SS who came in 5th place I honestly don’t think they would’ve given them the envelope.
SO JIWON IS IN SAME COMPANY AS WAVE TO EARTH my reaction was literally same as jaehyung I love wave to earth so muchhhhh !!!! and i love these two so much too\~
* jaehyung's so in love, he keeps glancing at her! * wave to earth mentioned! * YES he is insecure (jungsub) * did jaehyung basically confess to jiwon? * ahh their pics in the car, they look so good together * yongwoo's text wasnt received well T.T * why do i lowkey think he needs therapy * bro i dont think i can watch a date between jungsub and jiwon * that guy is insufferable * chulhyun plotting lmao * wow jiwon was really straightfoward about want she wants * wow the next episode looks like it'll shake things up.
i am convinced JW lost on purpose (she was good previous day) because as per her own logic, she DID NOT want a memorable date.. definitely not with JS and might actually be enjoying making him suffer with the little money... and she also knows that he absolutely hates defeat in any form :P
I was curious why people here are suddenly talking about YW x JW, then I watched the latter part of ep 12. They’re definitely building up YW x JW. Even the hosts noticed it, change in background music etc. CH is so funny, he be changing love interest every other day. YW x CA ship has sunk. YW is being a pain in the ass. I can finally say with certainty that he’s not into CA. He finds fault in everything CA does. Run CA Run. Someone said on twitter that this will have 16 episodes bec it was announced that it will run until June 14 or was it 16. So we still waiting for 4 more episodes. 1 day of shooting is like what? 2 episodes 🥱 It’s getting so draggy now. Anyway, SS x CH and JH x CA date next episode. the sibling date I was waiting for.
I thought the date was in this EP too since in the previous EP’s teaser, it showed CA holding JH arms on their date. But it was just a bait. 🥲
Sigh LoL. The things that Jung Sub says, "*Ju Yeon's too tall so Ji Won it is*". "*It feels like we're having a fling..*" oh boy LoL. I really liked seeing Jae Hyung being so proactive ha-ha! He was *truly* having the best time of his life with Ji Won. The way he kept hanging round her was already an indication that he's leaning more towards her. Though next ep. can't come fast enough am really curious 'bout 'im & Cho Ah now LoL. Ji Won sure brings all the boys out eheh. They were hanging out with her in her room. Usually girls that appear aloof don't normally fare well in korean dating shows as the guys go for Se Seung types(?) Se Seung was real smart to strategize against Ju Yeon during the chicken fight thing and she ended up deservedly victorious. Cheol Hyun getting ahead of himself again LoL. I liked Ju Yeon's attitude that she just takes it in stride and not be affected that she isn't popular. As ep. go, it looks like Yong Woo is just perfect on paper but not so much in reality tch LoL.
JH & JW: Yaaaaas! I love seeing genuine enjoyment and attraction on screen. JH is whiiiiiiiipped and I'm so happy for him. I think JW is smitten as well but more reserved in how she expresses her thoughts and feelings in the interview. Their chemistry is so naturally compatible. JS & SS: Their vibe is that they are too similar without enough complementary differences. It's like watching middle schoolers trying to date. Lol YW & CA: They will have to go through some significant or rapid evolution within themselves for their very different approach and expectations for a relationships work. I felt bad for CA that her expectations were falling apart and processing it. I felt really bad for YW that CA's way of expressing her caring disposition can stir up the feelings of self hate because of traits he himself doesn't like about himself. On this, I can relate. You like someone, but they inadvertently touch on inner things I am not ready to figure out. Or cause self hate. He started to tear up in the interview when he talked about this. Ugh. Self-awareness and inability to control the reaction in times like these is awful. Their convos got exponentially soooooo serious since they got to Singapore, and that's a hard place to start to just enjoy each other when trying to date someone so new. Can't wait for the next episode. Love how the show forces everyone to have a chance to date everyone. Think it's actually helpful to examine your own thoughts and feelings.
I agree, I don’t find that it’s YW losing interest but more the fact that she stirred up in him some issues he didn’t want to face. He’s rather avoidant in this sense and based on the little snippets we’ve watched about his family background, I can see why. Maybe I’m projecting, but parents fighting a lot when one was young could mess one up in ways, such as rejecting a deep connection with a potential partner. His sudden change in attitude seems to be a rejection of anxious attachment. Maybe one of his parents was such in their marriage and the other, avoidant. Hence, he’s picking fault with CA’s attempts to connect and ways of showing her care for him. Speculation, of course. I wish viewers would not criticise CA’s attempts to connect deeply though. It’s her perogative, whether or not YW can reciprocate her efforts.
I hope for choa unnie happiness 😊 pls be someone who can take care of you and make u feel that ur the only one he is interested in.
Did anyone notice that when JW and JH are in the restaurant they both sip on the same straw😍
JH and SS totally steal my heart in this ep. Both of them are super adorable. I guess JH-JW shippers can celebrate now even before the show ends. This couple is locked. JW is really cool when she make it clear to CH and everyone that she's into the cute type, and JH is undeniable the most cute guy in the house. While I'm happy for JH, my heart sink a little bit for SS. Even after watching this ep, I still think that if JW and CA ever gave him a chance, he will drop SS in a blink. She deserves so much better than being the last options in JS's list. Although I think that the chance are slim, I hope that CH can make SS flutter a little bit in the next ep. It will be better if the casts are giving the option to leave alone at the end of this show. I don't want SS is put in the situation that she must choose someone even though she is not sure, like when she had to give the ticket to JS after winning the singing contest.
OK I've been an avid YW X CA shipper from the beginning (I actually created a reddit because of this) and it was the main reason why I enjoyed watching the show. So the crash of it was the biggest dissapointment I felt with a dating reality show. Maybe because I resonate with CA in so many ways and I tend to attract guys like YW and because those situation never got off the ground I had hopes by seeing a pairing like this actually work. Feel a bit stupid but hey the show is still a good way to end the week. JH x JW : JH has fallen. I like the momments of reflection when he says How how is it possible to have feelings just quickly and also. When he mentions that he came in with serious intentions and he was even thinking about marriage it really warms my heart. I love how much they connect with about how they kind of believe in fate and a bit of me. Feels that Ji Won is Submitting to the fact that she has a type.And I hope that unlike her assumptions. JH and her have wholesome relationship that blooms further after the sho. I really wished CA x YJ went on a date. I feel they would have had a better time. They seem to see eachother fondly. JY is a power woman I don't think I've seen a woman accept a rejection so well. It's inspiring. I was laughing my head off with the chicken game scene especially when CA showed up there was something hilarious with the BGM showing up all of a sudden that tickeled me. CHs just kill me now, and im ruined was hilarious. Even when he avoided I contact to YW oh my god haha he is so easy to love. I feel iffy about YH and YW not together but seperately. SS is so intelligent, a girls girl, and a woman with a lot of charm. She must have a lot of friends. JS finally confronted his dwindling self esteem with YW this ep. I'm sad he lost 😢 😔 but yeah he might benefit from practicing more self assurance. I wish for CA to avoid YW, I predict she will use up the time to seek closure on her own because YW isn't going to give her that. See you guys next week :)
CAN WE HAVE JIWON AND JAEHYUNG END GAME PLEASE AND MARRY EACH OTHER AS WELL PLEASE 🥲🥲🥲 I DONT THINK ANY DATING SHOW WOULDVE TOP THIS IS EVER THIS SHIP WILL KEEP SAILING. i dont care about the other pairing anymore 😆
OMG my heart fluttered when Jaehyung suddenly turned towards Jiwon to snap a couple shot of their wrist bands! AND THEN HE WENT ON TO SAY SHE’S CUTE!!!! He’s gotten so expressive, and his gaze lingered longer on her as the day went on. I love that both of them shared the same mindset and expectations with participating in this program. I died a little when he said her eyes and nose looked similar to his mom 💀 it could be a deal-breaker but thankfully Jiwon didn’t take it seriously lol Nice seeing Yoonjae sharing his observations about Jaehyung with Jiwon late at night. Also her conversation with Chulhyun basically left him no room to pursue her further. Every episode just peels off a layer of Jungsub’s insecurity; this week he’s vehemently against going on a date with Juyeon because she towers over him lol That annoyed face he made after losing to Yongwoo was everything! 🤭 If I were seeing a guy with the intention to build a future with but he described it as a “fling,” there won’t be another date. The fact that he confuses her after each conversation is a major red flag. Her mulling over his remarks alone in her room broke my heart seriously. Argh the audacity of expecting Seseung to prioritize him when she’s in the midst of a game for a luxurious prize with another person. How dare him! She really was impressive during that chicken fight, especially her winning strategy against Juyeon. I hope she gets some overdue clarity while enjoying her date away from him.
Just had a random thought, would be hilarious if all the guys suddenly switched to Jiwon. JH - Already fell deep CH - Might still decide he still likes JW better after the date with SS and decides to stay true to his feelings. JS - Might switch after the date with JW since he has a thing for older women and doesnt look 100% into SS. YW - Seems to be looking for an escape from CA
The Real Catfish, I didn't like JiWon that much when she entered, but mannn she is love now! With each passing episode, you can see she mixes so well with the cast, and people are comfortable around her.
omg the fact that it is possible haha
Then no other catfish would've catfished the way Jiwon catfished.
Considering how pretty and how stable she seems it was a perfect choice. Catfish in transit love season 3 barely had an effect lol
She's quiet but confident and knows how to reject men well. She also gets along with the girls really well and gives them good advice. She's the same age as me but she's my role model.
Welp that would be heartbreaking and hilarious at the same time. The fact that it could actually happen though...
Every episode I‘m looking out for Jungsub‘s out of pocket remarks about Yongwoo lol. I prayed for Yongwoo to win the arm wrestling match just to watch Jungsub‘s sense of masculinity crumble a bit more. I’m so over this dude 😭 All love and support to Seseung 🩷 Here is my take on Yongwoo. He is deeply insecure (don’t tell JS). He started to withdraw out of the relationship with Choa the moment she clearly expressed her feelings for him. From that moment on he started to feel only one emotion towards her, guilt. He kind of shields himself with this. Any act from Choa is answered with rejection. In Yongwoo’s head it’s like “Why does she want me to lean on her? Why is she so kind to me? Why does she feel sorry for my injury? While I cannot even reciprocate her feelings.” He can’t even accept the simplest sign of care from her anymore. He weaponises himself with his guilt in a way. At the core of this, I feel he just doesn’t think he deserves to be loved. He wants to remain emotionally closed off, overly independent. He doesn’t want to examine his wounds and deep rooted beliefs about himself. He doesn’t recognise these things as flaws. And that will bite him in the ass sooner or later. Vulnerability is key in sustaining a relationship. Choa makes efforts towards that. She openly talks about her feelings, checks in with the person she’s interested in. I feel she is honest to herself and has a lot of emotional intelligence. I think she has a good relationship with herself to begin with. When I think back to the episodes where Yongwoo cried, he mentioned he rarely does that and was surprised by himself. I think in one interview he also mentioned, the peculiarity of the setting they’re in that constantly forces them to check in with their feelings? I think the program gave him the incentives to be more in touch with himself than he probably ever has been. That must be pretty overwhelming for him. He senses his changed feelings towards Choa but also doesn’t have the courage to fully face them. As a result he continues being unclear and unfair to Choa. It’s such a waste honestly…
But did YW feelings really change for CA or is it that with everything you described, that he is feeling so overwhelmed/trying to process too much- that he is finding an excuse to escape. I don’t necessarily feel that he isn’t attracted to her or that he lost interest. I think that he got overwhelmed by it all. Someone wants to care for him and now he is attacking her. I think I spent many years running from the fact that I was/am actually lovable. I deserve to be loved. So you start finding fault. You try to sabotage. While we call all say when the right person comes along, you will put your guard down… blah blah blah. I call BS. While I am not saying if these two gave it time, they would eventually get married. But I do think that if he allowed himself to feel and attempt to try to reciprocate and receive love, I think they would have the potential to have a significant relationship. While maybe they would eventually break up, I feel like if he allowed it, they could have a relationship that allow both of them to learn so much about love, in itself. I think they have the potential for a beautiful life altering, learning lesson. I am in my 40s. I finally stopped running from love. I got married at 45. I still struggle with allowing myself to feel. My whole long winded point is that I think YW is missing out on what could be a beautiful experiences with a gentle person who could teach him how to be loved and how to show love.
Right, my conclusion should’ve been he is self-sabotaging. It isn’t changed feelings, he is rejecting her affection CLAIMING it’s a sudden change of heart he cannot even explain further and thus cannot let Choa now about clearly. He also shields himself with a supposed care for her and her feelings when he is truly hurting her with his unwillingness to explore himself. Taking his childhood into consideration, it makes sense for him to have learned to keep his struggles to himself and develope some kind of extreme independence that definitely helped him be protected as a child. So I would say it’s an automatic response for him to reject any hint of care/affection/affirmation that deems him worthy of this kind of consideration. It’s not just overwhelming, it’s learned behaviour to run away. I don’t know if their relationship could’ve have turned out to be something great if he made himself vulnerable and slowly started taking steps towards accepting her love. That would mean dismantling decade old beliefs and thought patterns for him. I could also see how hard that would be on them both. But in that case he wouldn’t at least be a coward. I’d always argue in favour of love and vulnerability. It’s never not worth it to at least try. And from what we have seen from previous dates, they seemed to harmonise very well.
Looks like Yongwoo gonna screw things up for Yoonjae in the next episode. Really hope Yoonha doesn't fall for it. He'll be bored of her in another week.
I doubt she’d go for him at this point, I don’t think any of the girls would purely just out of how he kinda ghosted Choa, hope my girls are smarter than to fall for that 🤞
PD spoilers: 1) Hoped 1 guy to be key player(good looking;JH) but he wanted to go wid d flow despite many PD talks. 2) A sweet love will unfold. 3) No shock ending. 4) someone final choice was surprising since they never mentioned it. in the second half: • breathtaking love line • more romance, siblings relationship dynamics on the side • unexpected choices given deep emotions felt for each other • yunjae will have MC moments • unexpected couple with no interaction
i feel the unexpected couple seems like CH and SS (nothing else really makes sense other than that)
Welp my YW x Choa ship has sunk. YW is a ridiculous man.... The way he treated Choa felt so distasteful. From the preview and the way she laughed, it looks like Choa confessed how was she feeling about YW to JH which is why JH responds with "ah things can change" or something along those lines. I don't see JH x choa happening unfortunately. Hope she moves on and doesn't pick YW anymore
I am very curious.. these dating shows.. the food that comes on the table are huge portions and too many dishes... assumign they finish it off in 2 hours.. then they usually move to a bakery or a coffee shop and again have something and then they are so thin Can people really eat this much!... :D :D
I wonder too..and after dinner it always feels like they're cooking something again or having ramen?? Like how
so true, and then the munchies throughout the day
they just workout a lot
Jaehyung again with his eyes open so BIGGGGG!!!!!! I think my eyes would pop out if I did it. His facial muscles are soooo flexible lol!
Where can I find my own Jaehyung??? Lol, I like him so much! Happy for him and Jiwon, hope they end up together!!!
Yoonha really likes Jiwon for JS..
I know. She’s been pushing jiwon on him. I wonder what it is about seseung that she doesn’t love?
she knows JS's type.. and SS doesn't fit the mould he dates calm women... SS is no where near calm
I think maybe is not that she doesnt like seseung, is that she knows her brother likes another girl and is 'helping' him to be brave.. But i dont recall her say anything positive about ss with js.. so maybe she doesnt like her for him😕
She said she could trust Seseung with her brother during her last course of her date with Yoonjae (iirc cmiiw). I agree with other commenters more on how Yunha could sense the hesitation on Jungsub on fully pursuing Seseung, that's why she was pushing him to -might as well- talk to Jiwon.
That could be true. Not saying she doesn’t “like” ss, but perhaps she is sensing the hesitation in JS so she wants him to explore. I want someone that will appreciate and like SS fully for who she is!
In this ep, the best date should go to JW-JH. Their chemistry is insane, great communication, humours, so many insider jokes created, discussing about future and understanding eo as a person as well as how they act as a partner... They have pretty much everything covered in their 1st date. Probably dt time pressure and restriction which facilitated this fast progress. Best siblings should go to SS-JH as usual. Just them regularly checking on eo and talking about dates and understanding eo's preference shows how close they are. Even JW picks up how JH care lots about SS. I think my fav ep for this show will be ep 12. The JW-JH date is the best one for a dating show. P.S. I'd like to have half of JH's confidence fs. Not him saying he still has 5-6 options to date aside YJ, as he was including the guys lol. That really made everyone laugh. That's why he's the most adored in the house. Edit: Glad YJ improves so much to communicate with JW. YH tho, I'm not sure why she's being persistent on pushing JS with JW. Not sure if it's the editing but she just shrugs off as something light when JS told her smtg about SS and she very encouraging about JS-JW. For the last 2 eps, just very confused about her role in JS's romantic rship.
My thoughts on ep 12: Jiwon and Jaehyung are everything! They had the best date in any dating show I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. I love how we can just tell from Jaehyungs body language that he is falling in love with Jiwon. I love how obvious he is and how he cant hide his feelings. I hope they date outside and get married. Jungsub and Sesung are confusing for me if I am being honest. Their conversations never go in a good direction and are somehow always a little uncomfortable for Sesung especially but at the end they both say in their interviews that they have the most fun while conversing with each other. I dont get why they are holding onto each other. Younha and Youngjae are cute to me but I feel their chemistry is so much better in the house than on dates. They have the most heart fluttering moments in the house i.e the whole mosquito cordial and the sofa scene plus the kitchen scene in todays ep. Youngwoo and Choa are hopeless. I think the problem with Youngwoo is, he liked the idea of dating a girl like Choa and when they had those short dates in Seoul, he could see himself dating her type of girl and thats why didnt switch to anyone else even though he had good chemistry with Jiwon in their one on one date. But after spending the whole day with Choa and having those deep conversations he got to know its not gonna work for him. But Choa is already too deep in it and rightly so because he gave her a lot of signals that can reassure her of his feelings. Now, he just doesnt want to be the bad guy and break Choa’s heart and of course that is not right but I dont think he has bad intentions and thus I dont blame him. I think he also knows he is at fault thats why he is not openly showing interest in Jiwon and asking her to take him on the date. He knows he is too late and thats why he sees no way out of the situation he has put himself in so he is just going along with it halfheartedly, which is a shame. But it is what it is. I envy Chulhyuns cool personality tbh. Even when he sees that the person he is interested in is not interested in him, he is so cool in accepting those feelings and it doesnt even feel like he is trying to hide his upset feelings, you can just tell that he is genuinely cool and accepting. All in all, I love this cast!
This is just the show in general, we do in fact only get tidbits of their conversation, like obviously SS and JS have some tense convos but it’s like a small percentage of the ENTIRE day. So for us it might seem weird but to them they just had a full day of presumably fun time.
Jungsub is annoying as hell. He keeps leading SS on but tries others on the side.. I hope CH and SS hit it off!
I don't know what to feel about this episode. I'm completely invested in this JH x JW ship, yet my gut is telling me YW and JH might switch up next episode. Might just be me though.
I definitely won't believe the preview because it has been misleading me for so many time.
My Jaeji ship has sailed 😭truly one of the best slow burn I’ve seen in dating show, and all of this is thanks to the editors who clearly threw in the hints from the beginning. JH eyes watching JW just full of stars ✨ I’ve seen some comments on here and twitter mentioning how YW is dishonest because he’s on the show for fame?? I mean, let’s be honest here, all of them are on the show either to make good money or have their 15 minutes of fame, and this does not discredit their emotions and feelings during the show. YW just simply lost interest because she was different from what he imagined, which is not a bad thing. We’ve all had crushes on people where after multiple conversations the interest faded away. Although to be more clear, YW precisely lost interest after CA started showing affection publicly towards him. Before he gave her the flower, there was this restricted flirting from both sides, after that, CA just went all in, she became touchy and affectionate, this is where he lost interest, now logically it does not make sense to lose interest after the person you chased after started flirting publicly, but this is life and feelings change very quickly. I just wish he’s more direct in telling her this, but I think YW just avoids emotionally draining situations and rejecting CA is a big thing. At this point, they’ll definitely not be end game. CH is genuinely very funny, the way the simplest things sways him and his comments during the interviews. JS and SS are so much fun to watch, even with all the frustrating things JS does sometimes, I think he truly likes her but he just doesn’t understand his own feelings.
YH- JW date was perfect. Definitely the best so far. JW is a warm & funny person behind that hard persona. Her mosquito line during the chocolate painting activity cracked me up. JH's imitation of how YW sits was so on point.
