damn this comment section is a mess 🙂

I know it happens. That's why victims of abuse often end up with a new abuser in a new relationship, even if they are able to end it with the old one. I think it feels this over the top because of how fast it's piling up on screen with new creep showing up every next episode 😅

Starberry Moons below said it might be coz they are keeping their story for Middleman's Love, which kind of makes sense, but also might become a confusing mess in terms of timeline...

remember to join mydramalist group" on the right or top (on the ap), coz that's how you kind of log in to see all the posts 😅

if you want to get more addicted I invite you to feeds 🤣
it's a great space here on mdl 👍🏻

I hate how similar the uncle and the boss look like... damn.
it's hard to take it seriously by now, coz they are tiling the issues with no talk or resolution I'm like: another day, another creep ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I live on this website hahaha 🙂🤣

he does this role justice, his existence in the show makes me feel uncomfortable hahaha

the boss is so pathetic I cannot. Like.. does he have no respect to himself to go after dude that is CLEARLY not interested lol I could never

the number of awful people in Uea's life is just... sad but comical lol
Mom, uncle, ex and now the the boss 🤡
I cannot take the cat kink seriously sorry 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get so distracted by Net's skin 😍

ALL THE FUCKING TOXIC PEOPLE IN ONE FUCKING PLACE NEXT EPISODE THE TENSION IS ABOUT TO KILL ME.
I'd become a mass murderer it if happened to me 🙂 That would be the last day of their lives and the first day of my freedom even if jail 🤡

I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy it, but I would also be lying if I said I was impressed with the dance and not the abs lol

Here's the thing about group C performance - would it have the same impact if we removed crop tops and the showing abs moment? Probably not. For me, if the most eye catching and memorable thing about the performance is how much skin was shown... I kind of lose interest.

Too much Magic Mike for me for an idol show 🤣 And realistically speaking, I only remember Jong Up and Han Gyeol (and Han Gyeol only because I liked the dude way before the show), all the other members were just a background... 😅

Groups made from survival shows like that are not permanent. They usually have 2-2.5 years contract and then disband. Realistically speaking Hui is here for one of the following reasons, all related to the fact Pentagon's contract with Cube ends this year:
1. He wants to promote himself and Pentagon, so Cube will see the value of keeping the group in the company and renewing their contracts.
2. He knows Cube is not planning to renew the contracts so he uses this as a chance to let himself more know and either debut in the team if he gets in top9, or gain more fans are recognition to start a solo career after leaving Cube.

1. He did. There are a few trainees who truly showcase some great leadership skills. I wish the program gave them opportunity to show more variety of skills other than managing practice. Something like Youth With You 3 did - press conference with trainees, to see if they can also manage reporters and hard questions.

2. Sung Han Bin is THE BEST center from any survival show. I don't think there was ever a trainee who fitted the center image more than him. I think Matthew tries to prove himself too much in too many areas instead of focusing on one and acing it. He wants the most lines, he wants to lead the dance practice, he wants to be the leader. Because of that the screentime we get from him is a bit all over the place and we don't really see his best, but his busiest.

3. I'm curious how the teams will look like after they drop the number of trainees. Since almost all have to go down to 5, and the rest will move to the 2 songs with 1 and 2 trainees atm.

Can't believe Won Young keeps his phone unlocked lol But it also fits his character so well, coz he is a naive idiot 😂
Not Ho Tae trying to convince Won Young he is still sick, so he can work for Dong Hee a bit longer 🤣
Yo... how come "mouth to mouth" was his first idea to make Tae Joon take the meds 🤡 What is this? Wuxia?
THAT LAST SCENE WAS SO ADORABLE! 😭😭😭
Also, I am so invested in the 2nd couple 😭

thoughts on picking leaders in teams coz it's one of my fav parts of the survival shows 🤣

My favorite part of this show is the "picking leaders" bit. It's fascinating how all teams do it differently and how often they don't even pick the best person for the role 🤣

En garde - fair choice especially for this round. Before I watched the episode I was a bit salty because it seemed that even members who would want to try to fight for that position just gave up simply because Hui is Hui, BUT since in this round producing and planning are really big assets, picking Hui who has the most experience and skill in that area makes perfect sense. And it's not like he lacks in leadership skills and just has the "performance and planning" related skills - he has both.

Say My Name - Hanbin is a good pick. I was not sure at first because he legit gives the softest angel vibes ever, but he can be a serious teacher too. I honestly think Ji Woong is a good leader material too. Also, Matthew never learns 🤣 I would never want to be a leader after Love Killa, he legit managed to survive that time mentally thanks to Ji Woong. As for that Matthew teaching part - I do agree with Hanbin. Their teaching style and what they focus on at first so literally the opposite so when the two try to teach the whole team, it will become mess later coz there will be no unity. Like.. Matthew I love you my child, but you are not a leader material 🥲

Over Me - Again the fact that Zhang Hao felt the need to explain why he does not want to be a leader just shows how the trainees go all wrong about picking who should take the role. His high ranking says nothing about his leadership skills, it says a lot about his performance skills. No one should assume he will be the leader because of his rank, and he should not need to explain why he does not want to be one. Yoon Jong woo a solid pick.

Switch - skipping this since they did not show how the leader was picked 🥲 I feel bad for Wumuti because he became the leader of the least motivated team, but there are ways to get to the trainees. First of all ask if they just want to give up being idols after this show completely? If not, they should want to practice more. They might not perform the new song on stage, but they are improving the skills they will need when they eventually debut - IT'S NOT A WASTE OF TIME TO PRACTICE THE SKILL YOU NEED AS AN IDOL. Practice hard enough that viewers will regret not voting for you and not being able to see that performance. Practice so hard viewers will want to keep up with you and news about your future debut even after you get eliminated. Wumuti did it for me - I am curious about him and I want to see him debut and I want to check out his debut, whenever it might be.

Supercharger - i want to know how these teams are picking leaders 😭😭😭😭

Side not about Ma Jing Xiang - I get where he is coming from, but I also feel like he lack the sense of responsibility and teamwork, and you need that to be in a group. Picking just the lines you feel like you can do well, ignoring the team wanting to practice the formation, to learn the choreo and detail alone - all about him doing well alone, not team working well together. Also yes for Jong Woo - no time for arguing, just say how it is - you can';;t change the parts however you want. That's what leader should do at time. Situations like that is exactly why I always pay attention to the picking leaders and how they manage the team. Big props to Jong Woo.

Also random thought, but how can I not adore and love with my whole heart Park Han Bin when he is literally Woosan's child with Woodz as his uncle?

yeah... all the songs for Boys Planet are at worst B+, but most are A quality.

I just seem to have found other trainees that I think would be a better fit for this group. < same. As much as I LOVE Hui (he has one of my fav vocals in kpop overall) I just don't see him as a part of the team here. I don;t think he would blend in well together with them.
