Just because some people don't like it, it doesn't mean everyone feels the same way. Those who enjoy the show and love this cast can just have fun watching without having to complain, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Of course, the show isn't perfect, but the dissatisfaction of certain viewers isn't a show problem at all. It's a them problem. They should just stop watching or learn to deal with their own emotions instead of blaming it on others

I also think some parts of the show were terrible, like the eliminations, and there are participants I’m not fond of, but it doesn't affect my life at all. Since I chose to watch it, I just overlook it or vent a bit and move on.

At the end of the day, it’s just a show. If anything, it’s a space for gay men to affirm their identity and show their humanity. Why care more about rumors (which are just trivial things people blow out of proportion) than their actual humanity?

I think it's a YunJae fans' problem.
I don't hate him, but his fans have a scary and dangerous mindset. Their behavior only reflects badly on him, and they act like their fandom is so big they can control everyone or change the world. It’s pure delusion, and the more they believe it, the more they lose touch with reality.
It doesn't make YunJae or his fans look powerful at all, they’ll only end up being labeled as sore losers.

Let’s be real, this show is just a niche program. Even if the cast members become someone, they’re still just big fish in a small pond and not even close to mainstream fame.
I’m a fan of JunSeongHo, who is easily the most popular in this franchise and a hundred times more famous than YunJae, yet even I wouldn't dare claim they're famous enough for me to look down on or bully anyone.

Looking at it objectively, there’s no doubt why he chose SunWook over YunJae. SunWook is younger, yet he’s so rational and considerate of other people’s feelings, making it very comfortable to be around him. On the other hand, YunJae is 28, but he is like a naive child. While his fans praise him for being determined, all I see is someone who’s clueless and stubborn, only making things difficult for the other person.

Honestly, I don't think YunJae needs to wait for him to say it out loud. Hyunjun's actions speak for themselves. He only called YunJae on the first day (just because YunJae called him first), but after that? Nothing. No calls, no gifts, and he didn't even join the chat room. I don't get why the burden of managing feelings falls on the person being liked, rather than the person who has the crush, especially when the affection isn't even wanted.

By the way, I’m genuinely curious if smoking is considered a normal thing in Korea. I don't really watch K-dramas, but I’ve noticed smoking scenes in every season of this show. This season it seems like almost everyone smokes, even YunJae who doesn't really have that kind of image. I'm not judging at all, it’s just that I’m used to the values in my country where smoking is often viewed negatively and you’d never see it shown on screen like this. I was just wondering if it's a cultural difference.

I think so too.

Even with some sucky moments like the eliminations or certain participants I'm not fond of, this is still my favorite season overall.
Maybe it's because I watch to see what happens rather than having specific expectations of how things should be. And since almost all the participants are good-looking in exactly the way I like, that's a big part of why I enjoy this season so much.
Of course, Junseongho is my all-time favorite, but that's pretty much the only thing I liked about season 2. Other than them, nothing else was really interesting.
Also, I just finished watching Japan's The Boyfriend 2. I have to admit I prefer that show's format, but the cast didn't really click with me, so it wasn't as enjoyable as this.

The reshoot doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it feels more refreshing than previous seasons. It's not repetitive, and I love that the time isn't limited to just 7 days, which I always felt was too short and superficial for people to actually get to know each other.
As for the newcomers, they're at a disadvantage when it comes to time, but they have the advantage of being the center of attention for those who are still looking for options.

Aside from the eliminations, the only other thing I find truly terrible is the editing, which gave way too much weight to Yunjae and Hyunjun's story.
It's not that I dislike them, but the producers gave them so much airtime that it felt like only their fans were watching. The editing gave people the wrong impression that they were the main characters or carrying the show, which isn't true at all.
Some even threatened to quit watching whenever things didn't go their way, yet they never actually do. But honestly, every participant has viewers who want to see their journey too.

I think the only endgames are HyunJun x SunWook and HyeongJun x MinSeong.

For HyunJun and SunWook, I'm not surprised at all. It's obvious they have that natural pull toward each other. It's a 100%, not just 70-80%. It's just a shame the show didn't give them enough screen time. The Edit pushed the narrative of YunJae liking HyunJun so hard that it just created toxic fans instead of highlighting a beautiful, genuine connection.

As for HyeongJun and MinSeong, whatever, I don't care who's rooting for them or who thinks they're cute. I just can't bring myself to buy into it. It doesn't affect my viewing experience anyway. I just watch what happens and feel how I feel, without any expectations of how things should turn out.
Honestly, I started the show stanning HyeongJun. I wanted him to get back with JaeHa not because I was taking sides, but because I was genuinely worried. I know how MinSeong was in season 2 and how he treated those who liked him.
But now? I'm not worried at all. In fact, I'd even say they're a perfect match now. I truly feel for JaeHa, but at the same time, I'm just relieved that JaeHa can finally be free from this and move on. HyeongJun doesn't deserve a man as good as him. JaeHa deserves someone much better, and I truly hope he finds that person. That's just my take based on what I've seen. If you disagree, that's on you.

As for the rest, I don't see any chemistry left between them. I think HanGyeol still has feelings for Taichi, not HyeokJin. And Taichi definitely doesn't like YunJae in a romantic way at all.
What I really regret is that YunJae and SuMin didn't give each other a chance. Honestly, with their personalities and styles, they would have been such a good match.

Thank you very much.

HyeongJun acts like the victim but he is actually the one hurting JaeHa.
JaeHa deserves a better man than him.
And HyeongJun deserves someone like MinSeong, not a good man like JaeHa.

I’m having trouble with this video. While others load correctly, this one is just a black screen with no control bar appearing.

I've seen some disturbing behavior lately.

Do some people not realize they're watching a reality show?

They're trying to play God, thinking they can control the participants' fate.

And when they don't get what they want, they just act like sore losers and lash out at everyone.

Expressing opinions or dissatisfaction is one thing, but spreading lies and stirring up hate is just too much.

Now some people on X are even trying to spam report Hyunjun and Sunwook's Instagram accounts.

What's the point?

It's insane and honestly, it doesn't make Yunjae look any better or give him more dignity.

Just because he's popular doesn't mean others aren't loved. This kind of fame is limited to a small niche, and it's not some grand superstardom that gives anyone the right to look down on others. 🚩

I love Jae-Ha, but I'm actually glad he's out.

I'm relieved he's finally free from Hyeong-Jun.

Hyeong-Jun doesn't deserve a man with a heart as big as Jae-Ha's anyway.

Honestly, I started out feeling sorry for Hyeong-Jun because he said Jae-Ha hurt him and didn't understand him.

But looking back, it was a completely different story.

Hyeong-Jun kept saying Jae-Ha made him suffer, but all I saw was Jae-Ha doing everything for him.

Jae-Ha's whole world revolved only around Hyeong-Jun, and he never even looked at anyone else.

No matter how much Hyeong-Jun hurt him, Jae-Ha never once blamed Hyeong-Jun.

Jae-Ha only ever blamed himself.

Meanwhile, Hyeong-Jun was busy flirting with another guy without caring about Jae-Ha's feelings at all.

Even while claiming he still had feelings for Jae-Ha, he kept doing it.

Once it didn't work out with one person, he just moved on to the next.

That just shows he's not sincere to himself, to Jae-Ha, or even to the person he flirts with.

Where else is Hyeong-Jun ever going to find another man with a heart like Jae-Ha's?

Min-Seong, who I've seen since Season 2 and know exactly what kind of person he is, doesn't even come close to Jae-Ha.

But then again, someone as insincere as Hyeong-Jun actually deserves someone like Min-Seong.

They're a perfect match because they're both the same. 🙄

If Hyunjun and Sunwook are endgame, I think it just makes more sense. I’m not biased toward who Hyunjun ends up with, but personality-wise, he’s a much better fit for Sunwook than Yunjae. Having followed him since his days with Changmin, I've seen that even though he’s an introvert, he actually craves an active lifestyle. I feel like he’s a bit much for Yunjae because their true natures are just so different that Yunjae probably wouldn't be able to handle his energy.

Plus, I feel like Hyunjun and Sunwook have already built up some feelings for each other, even if they weren't endgame during the first shoot. You could tell by how Taichi just assumed they’d call each other and was actually surprised when it didn’t happen.

I agree. This season has the best vibe overall, and everyone got some memorable moments. Season one, all I remember is that there was a really handsome guy. Season two, I was obsessed with JunSungHo, but that’s pretty much all I remember.

This movie was released in my country.

I was really impressed by Hachimura Rintaro's appearance. He has a completely different appearance in each drama series I've watched (👉Kimi no Hana ni Naru, 👉Sahara Sensei to Toki-kun, 👉Mikami Sensei, and now 👉Cinderella Closet) 👏

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw the notification. Anyway, I have already watched the movie. For me, I love both. The storytelling of the novel has more details and makes more connected to the characters. However, the movie has very good casting, good acting, and an interesting storytelling style within a limited time frame.

It's not free. Publishers in my country have the license to translate and publish it as a book and e-book for distribution.

Why does it seem like there aren't as many viewers as there should be? (I refer to the hits in MDL's comments, not the actual ratings, which are quite good.)
It is so much fun, and Akaso Eiji is so adorable!! 🤗
Although the first 2-3 episodes were not particularly exciting, it got really fun by episode 4 and got more and more fun until the end.

What a suck ending!
Tachibana is so stupid and useless 😞
