Cloud9

I just new Youling was going to do this. That man is whipped. Poor Danqi, she deserves better.

It started really well, with some interesting plots. I really liked how the mother was portrayed. Little by little, we saw who she truly was.

But after 10 or 11 episodes, it became the same enemies-to-lovers trope. Both trying to get on each other’s nerves, playing with feelings, jealousy, and a lot of misunderstandings.

I think I’m disappointed because I really liked the first arc. Them working together to survive was very refreshing. I’m putting this on hold for now. I was so bored during the last four episodes that I fast-forwarded through a lot, and I don’t like doing that.

Bk was interested in Liu Liu for 3 days. After that dance date he completed changed.
Danqi was never pursuing anyone. She was the one being pursued.
I wouldn’t count those 2 as a 180.

Lizheng on the other way, was pursuing Liu Liu openly for more than 10 days.

I’m not saying he doesn’t have the right to change directions, just that to me it’s weird.

I think he still likes Liu Liu and is playing a dangerous game, that might hurt Danqi.

We’ll see in the next episodes.

There’s a major glitch in the Ep. 18 preview. A beauty filter literally appears on Esther’s face out of nowhere. 😭

Is this drama really that low-budget? That’s such a huge editing mistake.

Btw, she’s massively loved by overseas audiences. I’m confident in saying she was a fan favorite before the rumors. She has a huge fan base making TikToks and everything about her… EVEN with the evil editing.

She’s the topic of almost every subreddit and discussion on X. Koreans may hate her, and that’s why we’re seeing the trajectory of the edit. HS is, and always has been, catered to domestic audiences.

So why they just stopped posting her to bring back exactly in her “worst” moment? If not for clout why? Because it feeds audience needs!! They are using her in the worst way possible. You can’t deny that

This show is my weekly dose of dopamine.
Tata and BK are just too cute. Even though I think it’ll be hard, I can see them overcoming the age gap and their financial differences.
Wentao and Peixuan give me a bit of a headache. She’s still too hurt by her past experiences, and he’s not the type to dive headfirst into love like BK. On paper, they make so much sense. A CEO and a musician are the perfect balance for each other. Anyway… she’s the coolest person in the house.
Danqi… you deserve better. I’ll never understand men who do a complete 180. To me, it feels forced. I still think he’s very much into Liu Liu. It’s just his pride getting in the way.

I’ve been saying this from the start.
They came out with that whole “we’re going to respect the storyline and the other cast members” excuse, but the truth is they only used her when it benefited the main storyline, the one the Korean audience wanted.
They even stopped posting her on social media, only to bring her back for the beach date, where she got rejected.
If that doesn’t make it obvious what they’re trying to do, then I don’t know what else to say.
Getting clout off someone else’s misery is just sick behavior.

I was sure there were 16 episodes, but now it’s 15. Did they cut an entire episode? God the ratings must be awful

It’s better to milk it and make ratings of it 🥲

This is false. They said that they would cut her regardless if it was true. You can search the Korean statement. They never confirmed, only said they will cut because of the audience and the other cast members

Who is going for her? As far as we know both guys that she’s interested have other lovelines. No one is pursuing her openly. She’s right to keep her options open.

Another day, another hate essay about GR.
I hear she’s a very powerful witch who casts spells and makes men do crazy things.
She’s so powerful that she’s even making decisions for them know 💀

Hmmm he’s very confusing. He went hard on YY, and left all those loose ends (he knows how he flirted with SY and GR in the beginning). But I think he just needs those 3 dates. Anyway, I agree that from YY perspective it’s gonna be hard. But even after all of this happened in the game he gave a lot of reassurances to her.

Relax, there’s no way him and YY are not EG. Never saw that type of skin ship in any Korean show. He’s confused and knows he might have hurt GR in the beginning, but I’m sure he will choose YY in the end

First: WY asked who GY texted after Japan. They had a "mission" to choose 2 people that day. GY answered with the 2 people she texted THAT DAY. I see that a lot of people got this wrong (me included). She was talking about the people she texted THAT DAY, NOT the people she's interested in NOW. After that, WY became even more curious about why she chose him for the nickname date, since she said NO ONE is her n2 and that she only has 1 person on her mind (70–80%). So he asked about her intentions. She said they texted in the beginning and that she had a lot of questions for him. <-Those are FACTS, you can go back and rewatch.
She liked WY in the beginning, but I think she saw him with YY and thought, "Okay, this dude is settled, but we still need to talk first." <- this is just assumption, It could also be her pride being hut.
Second: she genuinely likes SW. He's the closest to her ideal type. But he's not openly pursuing her. He actually said he's interested in two people, GR and SY. He even said his first choice could change.
So why shouldn't she say that she can change her mind if someone comes to her with an open heart and openly pursues her?

I think you’re reading her wrong, but I respect your POV.

To me, she liked WY in the beginning, but he was never as straightforward as she wanted him to be. She got hurt and moved on. She hasn’t texted or chosen him since the Japan date.
Now she made one move: calling him to the nickname date. That was enough to create a storm in WY’s heart. But she, on the other hand, isn’t going to bow down so easily.
She made it clear that she only has one person in mind at the moment, but if someone comes to her with real feelings, she’s not going to stop them because she wants to be openly pursued.
I don’t think that’s going to happen, though. WY is too deep into YY and will never give her the kind of reassurance she needs.
They’ll probably talk about how they miss what they once had, and that will be the end of it.

I feel they are. Honestly, we've never seen that level of skinship on a Korean dating show.
Imagine doing all that and not being EG. WY isn't stupid. He knows what he did with YY, and he'll choose her in the end. As for YY, it's obvious. She's down bad.

I’m too! They are really pushing SY and not showing him with GR. Even nickname date was cut. 12 preview had zero swgy. In the end of today’s ep he looked really serious talking to Gy. I hope we pick up on that next week.
