sai

[long] I think Jiwon's main problem right now is a clash between mind and heart. She came in the show wanting to find a partner with certain characteristics, one that's different from the people she usually tends to date. And she thought she found that in Yongwoo, just for him to text someone else on both days that they had a date. At that point she realized he had feelings for someone else and accepted it, but I think I recall her saying that he was the type of person she was looking for.

Then, as she gets to know the other participants, she slowly & naturally becomes more interested in Jaehyung. And of course starts liking him in Singapore. He is her ideal type and the type of person she usually dates, so it makes sense that she naturally developed feelings for him.

The problem in JaeJi's relationship seems to be that although Jaehyung is very sure about them, Jiwon seemed to have a moment when she kind of 'woke up' and realized she's falling for the same type of guy she's always dated. And from her conversation with Yongwoo, it looked like those relationships always made her feel a sort of emptiness inside. She felt that emptiness again and that's where her doubts about their relationship started forming, because she went on this show trying to find something else. Then we had the whole problem of her trying to ask deeper questions to JH to know him better and see if he CAN be the person she's looking for, and him not being able to reciprocate due to the cameras/environment. This just deepened her doubts.

Then amongst all this chaos of Jiwon trying to figure her feelings out, we suddenly have Yongwoo sweeping in and basically telling her he likes her. It makes sense why she's so easily swayed at that time because YW is (in her eyes) literally the kind of person she was looking for and he tells her he's interested in her Exactly when she's having second thoughts about Jaehyung. It's a matter of head (YW) vs heart (JH). She went into this show hoping to date a different person, like Yongwoo, but she naturally fell for the same kind of person she usually dates, Jaehyung, and now is trying to steer back to her original motive.

All this with the final decision literally being the next day. I would be so drained if I was her.

Truly is a shame. I bet the PD was very enthusiastic about casting him at first because he's handsome and charismatic at first impression, and all the way up to Singapore he was behaving like such a perfect guy. I don't think anyone even us viewers expected him to be the most disliked person in this show, or in dating shows in general.

I think he meant immediately after the show ended. How I took his words is that everyone obviously adjusted their work/school schedules to make enough space for this 3 week program, and in the past week especially he was in another country. After returning to Seoul he will be busy catching up with his work, so he won't be able to start dating as soon as he thought Seseung meant. I think the majority of their conflict is just misunderstandings, they both want to date afterwards but the way that was conveyed is where the problem is.

I miss it :( bring back the wholesome lovely bonding days

You repeating my words just indicates your maturity level. You are clearly a troll and I will not be entertaining you any longer. I hope one day you will grow up and learn not to hate on strangers on the internet.

I thought we could have a respectful discussion and share our opinions in a similar manner but I see that you don't seem to have the emotional capacity for that. You don't know her, you don't know the intentions behind her words. You think she was being purposefully rude, I think it was a bad joke that wasn't received well. Either one is possible but either way I am not going to insult her like you are. Because she is a real human being, not a fictional character. You talk about her constantly blaming her brother but won't mention the times when he's insulted her to her face? Or when she still praised and was happy about his relationship with YH during the time she was upset with him?

I'm sure at this point everyone is well aware that you can't trust what the previews are suggesting. Yes, people can be criticized, but there is a huge difference between criticism and openly hating. Is calling her a "d!ck" criticism? No, it's plain hate.

Kinda funny don't you think? The way you speak about these people is much worse than anything they've said onscreen. And you dare to 'criticize' them.

I am not defending her words nor am I hating. I think the situation is not as black-and-white as everyone is making it to be, in my eyes it looks like a bad joke that wasn't received well. And Jiwon's mum gave an explanation for the way she speaks, a reason why people may be offended by her words even if she didn't intend for that. And yes, the editing made the situation look worse than it probably was. This is something that can be easily resolved. All the hate she's getting just for one wrong date is absolutely unnecessary.

I think the annoying girl was needed for us to have a better understanding of Ina. She's neglected & invisible at home and desperately tries to make the girl like her so that she can finally have a real friend and fit in with her peers. To the point that she'll ignore her crush just so that her 'friend' will be happy. Only to understand that she was never Ina's real friend and finally gets the guts to push her away, even if it means she gets shunned by the rest of her classmates. We see the development of a pushover who's afraid of getting hurt to a stronger person that can stand her ground.

How is this a plot hole? He rewatched the movie in the past because Dahae told him to do so instead of searching it up and this gave him the chance to revisit a memory of his friends that he previously couldn't because of his depression. Choosing any random moment in the past doesn't give Dahae a good timeframe to stage the accident, he could have reappeared in 5 minutes and ruined the whole thing, so disappearing for a whole movie length helped her. She herself was the one who told him to revisit the memory instead of searching it up, so that's why he was okay with leaving her alone. It's not like he knew an accident was going to happen or that he had limited time with her, so he had nothing to be cautious about. He just happily listened to his lover.

Ik dramas or stories in general will never do this but it's so frustrating that he didn't try harder to explain to his gangmates that he switched bodies. Like say a secret only Deukpal or the gang would know. Or talk about memories they had together.

For all the many hate comments here towards Jiwon after a couple odd words said on an edited tv program:

The hate is absolutely unnecessary. These are real people that are seeing this hate when the truth is nobody except them 10 know how certain events unrolled outside the edited footage we are shown.

You are for the most part right but then you go ahead and assume things about the participants like JH & CA when in reality you nor any of us viewers know them and should stop assuming we know why they behave in certain ways.

the parallel of ina and dahae both being trapped in a similar place and both having gwijoo save them ☹️☹️

Dahae told him to rewatch the movie in the past to win their bet, so I assume the part they were betting over was at the end of the movie. That gave them around 1 and a half to 2 hours to pull the stunt. Also I suggest you mark your comment as a spoiler

Idk if everyone's thinking this but i'm pretty sure Gwijoo won't die. The mother saying that his funeral had an empty casket pretty much proved it for me. That itself provides some type of possibility for him to actually still be alive. Maybe he's stuck in his memories and can't get out for some reason, and we get the typical time skip, everyone moves on, until he finds a way out. Or another fake death scenario, but I doubt that will happen because Dahae just pulled one. Either way, I believe the dream is the type where she only saw a glimpse and not the whole picture, which may be completely different. He will live.

that's so interesting omg

Agreed, I just think the idea of having two people that look identical in a dating show isn't very ideal for the other participants bc having someone they can easily identify would make it easier for them to connect with

I'm with you lol, I mainly just watch dating shows for the friendships & connections more than the romance because the romance tends to disappoint at one point.

You don't know her. Sure, she behaved weirdly in their recent date, but to take that and insult everything she's done since she entered the show? She's not a fictional character where you think you know everything about them. You talk about the times she's 'belittled' her brother, but won't mention the times when he's done it back? You don't know the relationship between them just from a couple hours of edited footage.

I'm kinda confused/curious about Grace. We don't have any info about her backstory, was she born into that family or was she recruited like Dahae? Dahae exposing the truth about the scammer lady's biological child just made me more confused, because we know she had a real daughter that died and she's trying to project that onto Dahae, but why wouldn't she do that to Grace?
