What I took away from episodes 8 and 9. Clearly your own food is not held sacred in the teachers lounge, including your breakfast sandwiches and homemade scones. Totally up for grabs, a basic free for all. Also, this school is fiercely strict with their rule about students and staff not using their cell phones during school time. But getting completely naked on campus? An absolute requirement. 😂

Plot twist that I’m really hoping for to save this chaotic mess: ML is still in a coma from his earlier accident, and he’s just dreaming up all this bs, he will awaken in episode 15 and pure comedy ensues. 🤞😂

It played with my feelings the same way that the opening scenes did in ‘Until We Meet Again.’ I cried buckets in that one, gave me total trauma. 😭❤️‍🩹

I almost dropped this series after getting halfway through Episode 1, it was just all over the place and didn’t fully grab my attention. But I’m so glad I stuck with it, it’s so friggin cute that it’s high on my rewatch list. Is it cringey sometimes? Hell ya. But if you’re debating watching it (and you’re here reading the comments to help you make up your mind,) just grab a few of your throw pillows and squeeze and giggle your way through the episodes like the rest of us.

Zhuang Sheng Zhe and Yu Wen. They are a pairing very early on with a slight break in the middle due to a misunderstanding, and then they get together again later after talking it out. He’s smitten with her almost immediately, (love at first sight,) but it’s clear in the last few episodes that she fell really hard too. Some viewers found him a bit controlling or moody, but I didn’t see him that way, he definitely grew on me.

Very true, the AI translations leave a lot to be desired. Thankfully when the translations occasionally turned into gibberish here, I could still follow along based on the visuals of the scene and the moods of the participants. Confession though: I skipped the vast majority of the host panels commentary regarding the dates and participants. I’ve never seen a host panel with this many people on it and between their non-stop views of situations and the subsequent AI translations being wonky while they discussed scenes, I just had enough of watching the panel altogether. I didn’t miss anything by skipping. 😂 I still think the best host panel that I’ve ever seen on a reality dating show is the one from ‘My Siblings Romance.’ First panel that I was totally enamored with.

I’ve watched a few of the seasons that are available on iQIYI, including this latest season. All of the episodes are translated on there, but it’s not always accurate, (though it’s a fair enough translation for you to follow along.) Here on MDL, the shows name is listed as ‘Yes, I Do Season 5’, and on iQIYI, the show is listed under it’s other name: ‘I’m So Into You Season 5’. Hope this info helps!

I have just wheezed up both my lungs and a kidney after watching the waitress whipping out all of her self defense gadgets in Episode 1. Reminds me so much of my younger sister who says that absolutely anything can be used as a weapon if you have the right attitude. 😂❤️ I rarely care for the portrayal of females in a series like this, but if she’s gonna be a side character, I am fully invested. 💀

Was certainly an interesting season, three couples came out of it. Their two month dating follow ups are shown in a clip at the very end of the final episode. Interestingly, one of the couples does seem to interact with each other a bit differently (and more impatiently) in their follow up clip, they seemed more like best friends that just like to annoy one another rather than a couple in love. Maybe they were just having on off day. 🤔 Still remarkable that three couples were formed. I’m expecting a wedding announcement from the most obvious coupling. All along I thought he was the one smitten, but it turns out she’s a goner for him too. 😂 They are super cute together in the last few episodes. ❤️ Overall an entertaining season.

Tong Tong and her attempts at constant smiles and joy, (despite her sad upbringing,) has just been a total blessing to watch this season. When you see her feeling sad in a few episodes, it just makes you want to reach out and hug her. The confession episode had me bawling like I was her actual mum watching her. 😭

I seriously just died at your guess at employment for Jie Ge. 💀 Thanks for the chuckle and comedy. 👏

Still find it hysterical that Shun was the adorable couch sloth 🦥 in the house, sleeping or sulking 50% of the time, yet he still managed to collect a few crushes and he was awake just long enough to be fed and cared for by Dai. It’s like Shun’s the human version of a GigaPet, and this is why we love him. 🤣 ❤️

Not YJ actually going through that post-season follow-up scene. 😭 Anyone know what cocktail he was drinking? I think I really need it at this point. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Taeheon was a total gift, he remained a steady force of support whenever they needed someone and he proved to be the kind of caring friend that everyone deserves in life. He’s the definition of a friend that would drop everything and be there for you, no matter the time or the reason. I really hope that he found support within his own family circle post-filming, and that this new group of friends all remained available for him (like he was to them) if he struggled during the process. The courage it must have taken to have joined the show, walking out the door on that last day while knowing he still had the biggest hurdle to jump. Standing ovation for who he is and everything he represented this season. 👏❤️

Ikou seems unlikely to be an intentionally problematic person, he’s just too silly and too new to the group. My guess is he was probably joking around with the group or with Shun and teasingly spilled a few things that Dai has said to him. For instance when Dai (on the day of the picnic) told Ikuo that he was the one that most resembled his ex-partner. I could honestly see Ikou innocently teasing Shun about it, and then adding a totally unserious blurb after, like “so he must find me handsome” or “so I might have a chance.” Poor guy, let’s pray he comes out unscathed. 😂

The comedic writing in this series is everything. We have a ML that’s supposed to be over a century old, sarcastically being referred to as “Boomer” while being subjected to repeated ageism comments by generations of his own family. 🤣💀It’s just so wildly funny because they’re all brilliant when they burn him, this cast is hysterical, I just love all their scenes. And Wee’s grandma’s sense of humor is so damn dry and cool that she could do a standup open mic night from her hospital bed and make enough money for her treatments. While I love the dramatic storyline and the overall plot of the leads (and their acting is far superior to their previous works,) it’s the comedy that has me living for each episode. This is seriously going on my immediate rewatch list, I swear I’d never get tired of watching it.

Sigh. I’m exhausted, these guys are all so great but I’m as emotionally drained as they are. Glad everything has been sorted now, for the most part. Shout out to Hwi, for once again being the mature, calming force in that house. He’s the type of person that will strive and succeed as an asset in any relationship he’ll ever form, whether romantic, platonic or professional. Just an all around stellar personality. And watching our youngest participant with his megawatt smile and his adorable dance moves fall into an emotional pit of jumbled nerves on the last night had me gutted and bawling along with him. This season will definitely be remembered for these two couch/floor potatoes and their incredible kindness and endearing friendship. They need to produce their own adventure vlog together, (doing indoor activities though, because they both hate outdoor ones.) 😂💀❤️ I’d be totally hooked.

I’ve discovered that the world is probably better off without my amateur investigative work, but in self reflection, I clearly could have had some success as a circus 🤡. Thanks for the emotional support though. 🫶

True. See, I would fail miserably as a detective. 😂 Good thing I didn’t make that my career field, I would have a zero success rate. 🙌🏼

During an interview that Dai has with production while alone in his room in Episode 2, there’s a large bouquet of flowers with a card attached and also a black gift box sitting beside the bouquet, all of it sitting out on top of his desk. Looks like the gift box is similar to a few bracelet boxes that we have here at home. Can we assume that this interview occurred post filming or perhaps during the last few days, and maybe that segment was edited into the 2nd episode, which accidentally gave away a spoiler? 🤔❤️ Okay, I’m taking my detective badge off now and handing it over to someone else. 😂💀
