Oh hey it's the homophobe again, who's rated over 1,000 shows 0.5 stars (the majority of them being BLs). You…
Your reply made me curious to go look at the users ratings, I seriously have never seen anything like it on here. You’re right, nearly the entire genre is scored at 0.5, except Choco Milkshake. That one beat out 98% of the rest. Hysterical! (I have so many unanswered questions now, mostly about fetishes.)💀 Thank you so much for the chuckle, I was absolutely entertained whilst scrolling through their list.
Girl I hope that for you that's why, if it's because of the handsome Jing Boran 👀 I can't blame him 😭
Well considering that he loves watching his favorite repeats of Julia Roberts and Jang NaRa, I’m going out on a limb and saying he’s not really invested in Jing Boran here, but I’m sure that he appreciates my appreciation of him. 💀❤️
I can’t believe the miracle that has happened in my household because of this show. My husband, who has quietly suffered through hundreds of ridiculous dramas with me over the years, has been absolutely HOOKED on this series. I kid you not when I say that he hasn’t let his eyes drift away from the screen once. This is the same man that has watched the movie Notting Hill countless times over the years and (even more shockingly,) leaves episodes 17 & 18 of the Korean adaptation of Fated to Love You in my VIKI queue so that he can play them whenever he wants some real angst. So these were really big shoes to fill. 😂 Please tell me that there are other obsessed hubbies out here binging The Early Spring, because I can’t have the only one. I’m already predicting that he’ll have this one playing on endless loop from now on too. Ahhhhh….I married a sentimental guy with hearts in his eyes. If you needed a review to watch this series with your soft man, please consider this the highest praise.
I have VIP here in the US and for me, the translations on every episode for this program have been machine generated.…
I hope all four couples work out, but two of the four seem like they struggle a bit, even during the reunion. Maybe those relationships were a little one-sided or unbalanced on the final day, but their feelings are continuing to develop outside filming so they just need time to lay a more solid foundation. All four couples are cute and as individuals, are really sweet, honest and reflective. Not sure why this season didn’t feel as entertaining or heart warming considering that there were four successful matches. I guess I just felt more of a close friendship vibe from most of the participants
Are the subs on Iqiyi good or machine translated??
I have VIP here in the US and for me, the translations on every episode for this program have been machine generated. It’s awful. When the recent iQIYI survey was running, one of my responses was how disappointing it is to be a paid customer for our region and not receive accurate subs on programming that we’ve clearly paid a subscription for. Honestly they just shouldn’t offer programs in their lineup that they can’t actually deliver. Fortunately I’ve watched enough content over the years to follow along, but it’s difficult at times. I’m considering dropping iQIYI soon, for years they’ve dropped the ball on providing translation for their reality programming. So sad. Too many other apps offer quality subs now. All this said, regarding the program itself, there are some cute moments but it’s not been one of the best seasons. It seems like the initiative was lacking for quite a few of the participants so it’s led to some boring episodes..
I’m just here to say that Kaiyi has the goofiest, cutest laugh ever, and Yiheng finds it absolutely adorable. I was crushing on their 1:1 date so hard, neither of them could stop enjoying their precious date together, no matter what they did, they did it while laughing and staring at one another. I think I giggled and smiled as much as they did. I’m no fortune teller, but these two definitely have the makings of a very happy relationship. Their communication skills and their mutual chemistry is such a joy to watch.
This might be the first drama of any genre I’ve watched in which the leads didn’t communicate AT ALL about their goals or expectations within their relationship until the final minutes of the last episode. I mean the non-communication trope rates a solid 10/10 in this one, they spend 99.5% of the drama avoiding any type of healthy or informative conversations about their needs, wishes or plans. It’s not even miscommunication, it’s literal radio silence. And yet we viewers were listening to the whole thing. Loudly. If that makes any sense. 😭🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
There’s a zero percent chance that I wouldn’t feel someone slide their hand into my pant pocket and fish around the bottom of it for my little key ring, but I’ll go ahead set that aside. Maybe he was easily distracted by the skin on display from that tank top, or maybe it was the cute, shaggy hair or those plump, adorable lips on our resident Rent-a-Cop. Sure the writing has ridiculous plot holes and unintentional humor. But please let these two have an ending in which they get to play “good cop/bad cop”. Maybe in a small, bare room with some handcuffs, a swingling overhead light and a single folding chair. Is it too much to ask?
Watching Min Sung be affectionate, bold, and flirty while occasionally sarcastic has to be the highlight of this season for me. It’s like he’s done a total transformation from Season 2, and honestly, I find it so damn refreshing to see him come in with such solid determination. I smile every time he and Hyeong Jun banter back and forth, they both have sharp wits and you can tell that both are a bit pampered and spoiled. It’s slightly caustic on occasion, but totally hysterical. It reminds me so much of the dynamics between my spouse and I. I guess that I don’t really mind the deep voiced teasing tones, maybe because I’m attracted to people that give me a challenge and make me think. I love watching Min Sung’s post-date interviews, he’s totally love brained, completely mystified by his own behavior. I love that he can admit it. That said, I also enjoyed watching Jae Ha’s interactions with Hyeong Jun when he was still in the house. No judgements about the situation between the three of them because it’s their lives to sort, but I’m just so grateful to have watched some of their scenes. For me, they were the reason that I’ve enjoyed watching and can’t stop grinning.
I think when I look back at Season 2, I will remember most our oldest participant. The way he needed this time in the house to quietly reflect on the end of his 15 year relationship, and to begin to acknowledge that he’d made a mistake. I love that he could remember the little things: like buying his boyfriend his favorite yogurt, or admiring him for the way he loved their dog. I was honestly so happy when he gave the news at the final dinner with the group. Just wonderful. Because that’s life: humbling yourself before the one you love the most in the world and admitting that you may have let them down. Made this season totally worth it.
Pretty sure the FL fell in love with the ML in real life during filming this. Or I did. Either way…..because LORD is he FINE. 🔥 Those dimples, the chisled chin and cheeks, and all the other parts. 💀🙌🏼 I may have a new favorite to watch.
A quote from the final episode, (number 10) “Hyung, our story has just begun.” Me, absolutely perplexed: What story? For the love of my sanity, WHERE WAS THE STORY?
My good people, thank you so much for joining me on this hole-riddled raft that we were all thrown onto for the promise of seeing a love tide. 🤦🏻♀️
What we wanted: A slightly dark but introspective story about two characters with different personalities tied together within a contract relationship, one character being carefree and artsy and the other obsessively angsty. We wanted to see them bonding over their love of artwork, talking about what inspires them, growing together and learning more about themselves in the process.
What we got: levitating plants, an apple, a few bites of ramen and ketchup, a magical water bottle, some grunting, a brass lighter, a lot of repetitive hair caressing, and plenty of stiff lips and long, drawn out silence or blank stares. And weirdly, very little art, which is the strangest thing about it all, because one of the characters makes it very clear that he’s only ever been interested in artists.
If they’d optimized some of the time for much needed conversation between the two in each episode, maybe I’d leave the show believing that both are in love. But nope. I believe one is possibly in love and the other is just kinda clinging to the raft like the rest of us.
I know the odds of my ever getting kissed by either of these two is basically less than the odds of me meeting my sudden demise by a rampaging family of otter, and for this, I am entirely grateful. Because one of these characters eats every inch of the face like he’s thirsting for electrolytes while the other character has lips that double as a chip clip. It’s all just so random, I have absolutely ZERO idea what this show is about, other than all the face snacking. I have so many questions: What happened to the random guy that was sitting in the car? What happened to Apple girl? Why was water-boarding reintroduced? Why is the rating still up in the 5’s? One episode remaining. I can do this, I’ll just take one for the team.
