IM YourOnlyOne

Okay, so I saw clips of E09 and well, as predicted (see my previous posts), JL left the competition behind based only on the 3rd online voting period. JL is practically doing a Gehlee Dangca.

In other words,
1. Team Rhythm will win in the 4th/Final voting.
2. Team Rhythm will win in E10.
3. There is no point for the other teams anymore.

UNLESS they surprise us with new rules.

For example, someone speculated that the MVP from the other teams will be merged with the winning team based on their individual final scores.

If that will be the case, then Park Han needs your vote. He needs to surpass the ranks of Rhythm's Top 7 to get a chance to debut.

Sorry everyone, but you really can't beat us Filipinos in online voting. 🤪

I mean, when Sandara Park first debut it was in the Philippines. She joined a pop talent search competition. There were no online voting back then, online mobile voting.

Each mobile vote costs money.

There were two Koreans in that competition and they both got 1st and 2nd place, with Sandara in 2nd. The votes of the two were in the millions. They left the 3rd rank far behind. As far as I know, it was Gehlee Dangca who first repeated that massive voting, she got the same total of votes as Sandara Park in the early 2000s.

Today, the Brazillians, Indonesians, Thais, and Malaysians, are also supporting Filipinos. Gehlee and Elisia got their votes. JL also got the support of Whale voters.

And, let's be honest, Gehlee, Elisia, and JL, do deserve their votes. You can trust us that we do vote by talent. We're a country who's been doing talent search competitions since the late 1970s. When we see talent and you show proper attitude, we will support you. But if you disappoint us, you won't get our support.

I think F&F realised this. They picked only 1 talented Filipino so they can predict which contestants will debut. The members of the team where JL is on is up to the Directors. So, if fans disagree with the final line-up, they only have to blame the Directors, in this case, Team Rhythm. 🤪

That is, of course, if they don't suddenly surprise us with another rule.

Based on E08's online vote reveal, Woongki's case was a repeat of what happened in Universe Ticket.

I can't remember who it was but in the 1st online voting, Elisia and Gehlee weren't at the top of online voting, but close.

By 2nd online voting, Gehlee left the competition.

Woongki was a few thousand votes ahead of JL from the 1st online voting.
By the 2nd online voting, JL left the competition behind.

In other words, Team Rhythm will get the most votes because of the JL voters.

Unless Groove and Beat find their own Whales to support Park Han and Woongki in voting.

Again, if the 3rd Online Voting gives JL another huge leap, the game is over in the finals.

The Final online voting requires voters to choose the team first before picking 1 contestant.

The massive JL voters will be forced to vote for Team Rhythm before they can vote for JL.

If Team Groove won, he probably would've picked JL. He already understood since E06 that Online Voting matters big time.

But it's too late. E08 was the last trade.

Well, with E08's voting being based on the 2nd Online Voting, that means E09 will use the 3rd Online Voting.

JL was seriously leaps ahead in online voting in 2nd Online Voting, very different from the 1st.

If things remain the same in the 3rd Online Voting, then we know Team Rhythm will debut with JL leaps ahead from the second.

I was hoping Rhythm would save Park Han. He and JL can form a ballad sub-unit.

So, only 21 players will enter the final round: live show (E10). 7 from each team.

And the winning Team in the live show + online voting will be the debut group.

That's a serious waste of talent.

As per Viu's official translation, E09 is airing "tomorrow". So, we'll probably see E09 later today, Sunday.

They can steal anyone, they all just chose not to pick the 1st in each other's team out of respect.

Imagine if someone did that early on, Woongki would've been stolen already. Byt because Groove and Rhythm chose not to, Woongki stayed in Beat.

Did they talk about it privately? Maybe or maybe not. If I was in their positions, I'll be very tempted to, but out of respect, I won't.

Even in real team sports, you don't just steal the number 1 best player of another team. Usually, you have to trade in a very good player as well + compensation.

It's the same here, minus the compensation. Since they're trading from 4th rank and lower, it would be a major slap to pick the top 1 in another team.

Just follow the instructions from the show.

For Android, there are two apps, KTopstar and the other one. And you can vote via the SBS website too, so that's a total of 3 votes with a single account for each.

Team Beat just got unlucky with player selection. The players they wanted all those the other two teams. So, right from the beginning they were already the underdogs.

The webtoon in Naver suddenly started to trend especially since hundreds of episodes are already available for free.

I think it has a high chance of returning for another season, it's popular in Korea, at least basid on the episodes, many of their guests and letter senders are regular viewers.

And in S02E11, they just sort of "invented" a new game. LOL. (The cup and ball thing.) That game must trend. Haha. Even the three veterinarians enjoyid the game.

If she's lot protecting her, she's protecting the key. If it's the latter, I think for her it's much better if the key will never be found, so it doesn't matter if she dies as long as the key is stays outside. Still risky though.

If she's protecting her, she probably had plans to keep her safe or rescue her. For one, the Minister of War was only using her to draw out the Prince. I think the original deal was to temporarily use her for the murder, and once the Prince comes out, he'll drop the case but still try her as guilty for forgery, this way she won't return. Probably exiled too.

Which was what the Minister of War told the Prince he would do. But the Prince gave him a better deal, so the Minister dropped even the forgery case.

It depends. The show is clearly set in the very late Joseon period, considering how they have an extensive interaction with the world and even have a red plastic die set. 😅

At that period, when Joseon was nearing its end, I think it's safe to assume they no longer have strict rules for royalty. If I remember my Korean history correctly, after Joseun, it's the Korean Empire next. The king in the show, and the next, are probably the second and third from the last of the Joseon kings (at least fictionally).

Oh, wait. Actually, the Prince already knew since Day 01 of their training when he peaked and first saw the brass key. For a Prince, he should know how women dress inside, and he saw that because that's where she's hiding the key.

So, LMAO, to his denial. He should just admit to himself it's no longer about the key, he fell in love with her and wants to protect her.

Also, the Prince, for how long is he going to be in denial. LMAO. I'm sure he already figured it out when he saw her washing secretly in the women's area, he was just too polite and becoming of a Prince to bring it up. But this long? LOL. He sure is something. Even using the brass key as an excuse.

He'll surely feel stupid once he learns the other two already knew.

I really hope she did not kill her. I do think she is protecting her, and there was a misunderstanding. She wasn't supposed to see her killing her father, it wasn't part of the plan. Because of that, she's out for revenge against the wrong person, when her real enemy is the one she made a deal with.
