I Have THOUGHTS & I'm Not Waiting for the Finale
Every new season, we convince ourselves, "Maybe this time it'll be different." And every new season, we're proven wrong. Yes, I'm talking about the painfully predictable storyline where almost every guy ends up chasing the same girl. It's frustrating because it leaves so many other contestants overlooked, with less screen time and fewer chances to build connections that viewers can actually invest in.
Also, Why are we STILL deciding dates with rock-paper-scissors and guessing games? I don't mind it in the beginning because it helps people mix around, but by the middle of the season especially in Japan I was literally screaming, "We're STILL doing rock-paper-scissors?!" Come on now!!
And yet... I still couldn't stop watching.
Why? Bcz if there are participants you're genuinely rooting for, and you keep watching for them. And No matter how hard I tried, THAT GIRL (Yu Gyeong ) never gives a reason to dislike her. Whether she's on a date, joking around in the house, or just chatting with the others, she brings an energy that makes every scene enjoyable. She is soo cheerful yet sensible it’s hard to belive she’s 23 only! Plus she’s a genuine girls' girl. She maintained distance from Seongmin for her unni… Now, is it her fault that three guys decided to pursue her? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Clock it.
I know viewers are exhausted by the "everyone falls for one girl" that every dating show seems determined to recycle. But blaming Yu Gyeong for that makes no sense. She didn’t manipulate everyone into chasing her.
I was rooting for Minju, Seowon and Yu Gyeong this season!
MY GIRL. Min Ju reminded me so much of myself that it was actually painful to watch. She kept giving, supporting, understanding, and putting everyone else first until she completely fell apart herself. She is the ultimate girl's girl. She comforted Yu Gyeong, stood by So Yun, supported Gyu Ri... she was always there for everyone.
And I have THOUGHTS on Seong min. Sir...why on earth would you tell Min Ju she was one of your two options if your heart was already somewhere else? And then this man had the nerve to say he felt relieved after telling her??
My blood pressure actually went up hearing that .I don't care how he explained it afterwards. To me, it was selfish. Mixed signals are still mixed signals, whether you intended them or not.FREE MY GIRL MINJU FROM THIS GUY!
MY MAN OF THE SEASON. SEO WON❤️
Where do people like Seo Won even exist? Because this man walked straight out of a K-drama. He's literally a green flag written by women. My first impression of him was SO wrong. I thought he was rude. Turns out he was the sweetest, funniest, most emotionally intelligent man in the entire house.
This man was everyone's therapist. Everyone's biggest cheerleader. Meanwhile, he was quietly hurting himself.
I genuinely couldn't understand how Gyu Ri wasn't falling head over heels for him. But then again, feelings aren't logical.
I'm actually so happy So Yun saw what the rest of us were seeing. She appreciated him for who he is, and together they just make sense. I HOPE THEY ARE THE ENDGAME. Their 2nd date is my favourite.
Now... let's talk about Wu Yeol and Yu Gyeong!!
I have never rooted for a couple on a dating show as desperately as I rooted for these two to end up together.
Every scene with them feels like it's straight out of a K-drama the lingering eye contact, the effortless banter, the unspoken yearning, and those adorable dates. This is exactly what I want to see in dating shows: cute, fun dates, undeniable chemistry, and those intense, heart-fluttering moments that make you smile without realizing it.
And I'm sorry, but the way Yu Gyeong literally glows whenever she's with Wu Yeol? She looks the happiest around him, and you simply cannot convince me otherwise.
And Wu Yeol's character development is one for dating show history to remember!! These two genuinely look like the leads of a K-drama who somehow wandered onto a dating show and I'm absolutely here for it
I'm just praying Yu Gyeong doesn't suddenly switch lanes in the finale because I am WAY too invested now. 😭
