I still can’t believe mingee and seungil didn’t end up as a couple after the show. learnt my lesson and never…
Yeah it sounds like they pretty much went their separate ways after. Kind of like "Well the show's over, see you, it's been a slice."
Plus a lot of people have speculated that he already had a girlfriend and he just came on the show for exposure and the fact that he didn't pursue anything afterwards was the indicator for them.
The differences with the couples is that after watching the reunion show we found out that Jae Jin and Joo Young immediately went and got ice cream together afterwards so it sounds to me like they both came on the show for genuine reasons. With the other contestants is not as clear. I don't know I'm thinking if you don't live in Korea and you're going on a Korean dating show where typically the contestant lives in Korea, do you really expect to meet and maintain a relationship with somebody if you're not actually living in Korea?
I wonder why the reality dating show called 'my Korean boyfriend' isn't on MDL ?
At first I looked on here because I want to add it to my list and then when I started watching it I realized why it wasn't on here and that's because they only put Asian produced content on here. More specifically it only focuses on these seven countries: Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines.
Yes, it would be nice if they put other projects on here that although might not be produced in any of those particular Asian countries, they still contain Asian actors. So, when some of the Asian actors do a project that is produced outside of the scope, their content is obviously not included on here so they're filmology is not entirely complete.
Incidentally, I'm kind of wondering what are your thoughts on that show?
I wanted to see Jae Jin and Joo Young. They are the in my mind the couple that will outlast them all.I didn't…
I probably miss a lot of stuff not being on Instagram 😭 like I wonder what people are saying with regards to that pic on Jae Jin's Instagram page showing him with Joo Young and that gorgeous sunset?

I wonder if the fan event thing you're talking about was regarding season 2 contestants Yoong Jae and Soeun because they were actually charging fans to come to their meet ups? They hosted more than one. This happened in 2023. Incidentally, I looked it up to see the actual amount and one of them was 77,000krw. Charging fans was really frowned upon considering they weren't technically celebs. but even so it was considered to be weird. He had a bar and I believe it went bankrupt and they broke up.
I liked Dex and Nadine from season 2. I wanted them to match up. They do get together in videos from time to time although nothing lately. Plus for season 3, I reeeeeally liked Hyeseon and Gwan Hee to work out. Yes, there, I said it 😜😭🤣

I heard something similar to that.The private thing I mean. Not meaning to single out Koreans however they are notorious for thinking that they have the ultimate right to veto a celebrity relationship if they don't approve. It's bizarre.Some celebs try to get out ahead of a story and release a statement to "explain" that they're dating so and so....
They obviously cherish their relationship enough to try and protect it by setting up boundaries right away...

I was kind of thinking that a lot of these shows probably have someone from their staff that works soley on media related things so it's their job to kind of comb the internet to see if they can get a feel for what the viewers are talking about. You know, what they like and what they dislike.
I can't remember where I read it or who said it but somebody presumed that this reunion show was put together to save Mina Sue from the bad publicity that she was getting but that's not correct because the reunion show was filmed entirely before anything ever came out so there wasn't anything to clean up at that time.
I'm kind of thinking though that the reason they were filming it might actually in fact be because the hosts went to the trouble of apologizing to her mid show so maybe they kind of thought or wondered if they should address it because if the hosts feel like they're being particularly hard on Mina Sue then maybe the viewers will too.
I wanted to see Jae Jin and Joo Young. They are the in my mind the couple that will outlast them all.I didn't…
Do you think they come to these pages and read comments from the viewers? Hmmm, I wonder if they just take into account what people say on the social media pages that I don't belong to? Bwahahaa
I wanted to see Jae Jin and Joo Young. They are the in my mind the couple that will outlast them all.I didn't…
Precisely! You hit the nail on the head. They don't know how to communicate with one another and if you're going to be in a relationship then you better learn how to talk and I don't mean having them just sitting and staring at each other wondering what the other ones thinking. I get why they're popular because everybody seems to be rooting for them and it would be nice if their relationship worked out but looking at how they are towards one another almost like they're walking on eggshells, I just don't think it's going to be a long-term thing but that's just my prediction I could be entirely wrong.
When I think of the potential conversation that we could have listened to between Jae Jin and Joo Young (who as we mentioned were on the rooftop gazing at the stars 🤩 💖🌠🌌) but basically instead had the rug pulled out from under us when their scene was abruptly cut off mid sentence, I just want to scream at whoever was in the editing room at the time 🤬🤬🤬
This show should be treating them far better than what they have been. I still haven't forgotten that comment that one of the hosts made when Jae Jin & Joo Young's minimal amount of screen time was finished and it changed over to another contestant like Mina Sue or whoever it might have been and the male host had the audacity to say, "Well, now on to the main event" . All I've seen is how the show was apologizing to Mina Sue for their commentary on her, so if they're handing out apologies then I believe that Jae Jin and Joo Young deserve an apology as well.
I’m sorry….not sorry but the reunion kind of sucked. 2 episodes of their trip only 25 minutes each and most…
I wanted to see Jae Jin and Joo Young. They are the in my mind the couple that will outlast them all.
I didn't like how they were up on the rooftop talking and their conversation was cut off just like that and yet they put in that endless back and forth thing between Heesun and Subeen. They try and talk and then she runs away to the bathroom. They stare at each other. Awkward silences. That was left in but the couple of the group was once again pushed aside to make way for what?
They're in the car and Jae Jin gives Joo Young an ear bud so they can listen to some music together while travelling, ensuring the audio isn't picked up by the cameras. They obviously prefer privacy when they can get it. Both seem pleased while listening to it.
Joo Young: It feels like we're going on a trip. I really loved travelling. I was crazy about travelling. Jae Jin: Where did you like the most? Joo Young: Jeju Island Jae Jin: Huh? Joo Young: giggling Jae Jin: You must have liked the person you went with. Joo Young: Yeah. Remember my friend that WE met last time? Jae Jin: Yeah. Joo Young: I went with them. Jae Jin: nods in acknowledgment while looking down at their source of music Joo Young: It was the two of us. While we were on a break from school. Jae Jin: Did you pick tangerines? Joo Young: I ate them off the ground. The ones that fell. Joo Young: What's this? Is this a song you like? Jae Jin: Yeah. Jae Jin: I put in something calm in case multitasking was hard for you. Joo Young: Driving, listening to music and talking. (giggles) Jae Jin: The music should be relaxing
He is so considerate of her. He is ensuring her comfort as they travel. That is a boyfriend thing that he is doing.
The point is six months passed, and then they all got together in December for this trip BEFORE the release of Single's Inferno 5 came out on Netflix in January.
During that six-month period after filming ended, Joo Young introduced Jae Jin to her friend.
I wouldn't introduce one of my friends to someone I met on a dating show and walked away with in the finale UNLESS we were still dating. That gave away how serious they were during the period from the time filming ended to the time that the trip happened. She also had to trust her friend not to spill the beans.
i first watched it when it was airing, and just rewatched it but i STILL cant stand the male lead😭the second…
Have you tried watching One In Upon a Small Town? He's really great. Sometimes I find if I don't like a storyline it makes me resistant to the actor(s). If the writing is bad it just wrecks everything. I like most of the actors but the storyline is all over the place and I think it could have and should have ended after 8 episodes 😜
It looks like Joo Young is considering flashing up her YouTube Channel. There is currently only one video on it and it's about 5 years old but I think if people show enough interest (maybe) she will post like Hyeseon from Singles Inferno 3 does on her YouTube Channel. Hyeseon obviously realized that not everyone has Instagram, Tik Tok or X so it was nice to be able to keep up with her. She travels a lot.
I've always wondered about Joo Young's crafting with vases and her furniture background. She really should showcase her talents now that the world knows about it 😉
The moment Jae Jin said he feels that his private life is shown to public, that’s the moment I knew Netflix…
The thing is Heesun and Subeen were playing phone tag a lot. Time difference or not, if you want to prioritize a relationship you have to make an effort. Talking on the phone or even texting or emailing and saying something to acknowledge that you are thinking about the other person goes a long way but if you have long periods of silence, it kind of appears like one of you has moved on.
He found out purely by a conversation that came out that she drank vodka like water. That tidbit is something Subeen wasn't aware of but Sunghun was so I think Subeen was taken a little aback by that. She forgot to mention it to him.
I just think that Heesun demonstrates someone who can become excessively jealous and so when they try to talk about something, she runs away to the bathroom etc. They are both young and two years apart. You can be a young age and you can also conduct yourself with maturity BUT I think she definitely shows that her age is 22.
Then you look at Jae Jin and Joo Young. A totally different relationship than the other couple. The maturity level is just so different than Heesun and Subeen. They are also two years apart, he being 28 and she being 26. They seem like old souls. They apparently want to be low key. I know they are painfully aware of how Koreans tend to judge relationships that are made public as we have seen time and again that IF they as fans or viewers don't approve, they will be extremely vocal to the point of rudeness. So I think they are probably making sure that nobody tries to come for them and damage it. At times I really wish that I had Instagram but it seems like more of a negative thing that an positive thing but that's another story.
So it appears that they are slowly giving viewers a peek. Gee I wish I could read their pages.
Thankfully I see that Joo Young does have a Youtube page: www.youtube.com/@2zzoo0

The writer's really need to know when to say WHEN with some of these dramas 🤣🤣🤣
