I'm glad the new participants got roomed with Dongjin and Dahye, respectively. They are honestly the best choices just because of how warm and friendly each one is as a person.
I am still rooting for Changjin x Dahye, Juwon x Yujung, and Dongjin x Hyewon couples. Realistically, I think the only one that will work out is Yujung and Juwon. As much as I reallyyy want Changjin and Dahye to end up together, I think Changjin's feelings for his ex will be the breaking point and he won't be able to pick Dahye over her. But even if that happens, I think Changjin and Dahye will remain close friends after the show, they honestly have one of the best friendships i've seen in Transit Love. Dongjin and Hyewon only depends on if Hyewon will be able to completely move on from her ex, but after the events of ep13 I don't have much hope.
Also this is an unpopular opinion, but I really don't think that badly of Kwangtae. I think he's mainly more immature than whatever 'stalker psychopath' label everyone's put on him. Him being jealous in front of Yujung that one night was too much, I agree, but at least he could recognize that he was wrong and able to reflect on that. He was criticized that he was keeping his options too open so he narrowed it down to one person, but then was criticized for that too by the public. Also calling him a stalker for going into Yujung's personal room is so...? He was interested in her more than his ex, so he naturally went into her room. That's why the option's there. And took a little card of her info and kept it so he could remember the scent she likes. It's really not as creepy as yall make it seem.
Concerning him and his ex, although Jeongeun's explanation for her not saying ily is valid, I feel more for Kwangtae. He really needed that one phrase, that one reciprocation of affection and waited a long time for it, but never got it. And as a cherry on top, she had to say "I don't love you" which is worse than not saying anything. It's clear Kwangtae's still very wounded by it and the preview looks like that wound is just going to get deepened.
I'm looking forwards to seeing the backstory between Sangjeong and her ex. They seem to have a healthier relationship/breakup than the others. I'm possibly rooting for them too but I need more screentime.
The way Hwihyun says "I don't text people who I don't think will text me" but LITERALLY 2 seconds later says "I didn't think people were so conscious about the texts. I didn't think too much of it" lol. Make up your mind
I'll admit, I was a little skeptical after the first 2 eps, but eps 3 & 4 really sold it to me. All the characters are well written and even though the basic plot is something we've seen many times before, the writer still manages to use that cliche and make it unique. The FL falling for her fake husband's younger brother, one of the main 4 characters being explicitly gay, the third-in-line illegitimate grandson immediately being the one to take the inheritance, a son-in-law living with his wife's family instead of vice versa. You usually don't see that kinda stuff in kdramas.
The dad is so careless to her, always saying things like you need to strike first... blah.. blah... but not teaching…
they seem to have a very distant relationship, so in a way it makes sense that he hasn't actively taught her to fight and only says some brief things during dinner together
I think they interviewed after finished the filming if you watch the season 2 then you will realise that gyu min…
yes i remember in s2 some people had to go on secret dates and such so they left the house in their specific 'interview outfit' that everyone else also recognized
The dice game was so impressive to me. I still don't understand the Flemings theory incorporation but I'll give it to them they pulled it off AND looked super smart & cool
So nice to see survival games with actual smart people instead of random civilians, it's way more satisfying. I hope they do more shows like this and The Devil's Plan
Who is the gay character tho... the second lead, right?
Yep. These homophobes need to grow up it's not like this is even a BL they're mad he's one of the main characters instead of the typical irrelevant side-character with a 5 second storyline
I'm lowkey struggling to grasp the romance between the two leads because the typical storyline would be the FL fake marries her bff of 15 years and then they end up falling in love, while the meddling younger brother just forms a one-sided crush on her. Obviously that's never gonna happen here because the best friend is gay, but the plot is set up just like the typical fake/contract marriage cliche that I can't wrap my mind around it😭
