some truths (in my opinion)

some truths (in my opinion)

1. No one is here to find a partner and relationship. Sure, it might be additional point, but the main goal of all contestants is to promote themselves, their business and have some summer fun. That's why everyone goes after the person that makes them feel the butterflies the most, and no one that would make the best long-lasting partner. They are being more realistic about it than most viewers lol

2. Seulgi is not evil, she is not objectively boring. People who question why so many guys like her must be blind. All of these contestants are extremely good looking and have quite a large following on social media. They are used to people chasing them around. So when we have Seulgi who does not really do it, fits perfectly into the cute-sexy popular type of a girls (cute face sexy body) and mastered the "through the eyelashes peeking" look - of course dudes are interested. Are those reasons shallow? Sure. The fuck did you expect tho from a show that puts people on the island for 7 days to date each other😂 You won't get a michelin star meal from McDonalds.

3. As much as I like Se Joong, Hanbin and Nadine, asking why no one picks them is also ridiculous. They are awful in fitting the format of this show. Se Joong feels like gave up day one, Hanbin was too focus at the beginning on cooking, while others were flirting and getting to know each other, and Nadine was busy bonding and chatting with girls 😅None of them were proactive enough at first, and tried to join the race half way through...

4. Jung Woo is not a perfect partner in any objective standards. You might find him perfect, good for you. But many would find him suffocating. I would not want a puppy that is willing to give up everything for me. In long term relationship, shit like that leads to resentment.

5. Soi is not a manipulative and obsessive bish. In newest episode she proved all she needed is a honest answer and not someone lying to her face. Yes, I agree that if she had a bit more self-respect, she should just drop Youngjae the first time he told her he wants to talk with everyone, but then only focusing on Seo Eun.

6. Yongjae was not uncomfortable about Soi liking him, but about the fact he had to reject her. Ma dude, sure it is uncomfortable to reject someone who likes you, but damn lying to her face and refusing to give an answer is a dick move. Who knows how it would all end up if he rejected her in a honest manner during their first conversation. Maybe she would be ready to move on when Sejun showed up.

7. I have no idea what the fuck is Dongwoo even doing in this show 😂

8. Jin Young is not acting like a player just because he is not following Seulgi like a puppy just like Jungwoo. People be like - he has 4 girls following him. Does he tho? Se Joong likes him but does nothing to approach him. He rejected Minsu openly after she did not get the initial hint. He is kind of interested in Nadine so he reacts well in her approaching him, but the only girl he shows active interest in (like approaching to chat) is Seulgi. When Seulgi stays in Inferno, he says he would rather stay in inferno. Both Seulgi and Jinyoung suck at openly expressing their feelings to each other, but make it obvious outside of it. None of them are playerr or act like players for having people attracted to them. I don't think it's only his job to reassure Seulgi, while she tells him in his face how staying in inferno with Jungowo was so good 😅 They both need to get their shit together, stop playing games and push and pull and just stick to each other.

and she has 3 guys going after her and spends most of her time in inferno with one of the guys that has been going after her from day one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ either both need to reassure each other or neither has to.

I'm watching episode 11 and honestly... Yeo Jin pisses me off 😅
She was the one to suggest taking a break and getting back together when they are "done with things that bother them"... to put his mother dying as something that bothers him was just so low I cannot. But then they framed it as if he did something wrong, he broke up with her and he had to go look for her and apologized and she went: why it took you so long? Girl... you need to grow up a bit.

exactly the same thought exactly at the same episodes. Finished 21 and not really feel that motivated to start 22...
And I LOVED the first... 15 episodes? And then it all slowed down...

great detailed review!
I agree that the friendship between the female characters was amazing!

Lee Kyu Hyung can do any role justice. I loved him here, so much emotions in his performance!

I agree about the ghost, they were simply forgotten. I think one of the reasons was the fact there were simply too many to tell the story of them all. The writer should have cut down the numbers.

Great review tho! Lee Kyu Hyung truly aces all his roles!

to be honest, Kyu Hyung only interacted on screen in any meaningful way with Tae Hee. I am fairly sure the script is at fault here. We simply got close to zero scenes of him and Go Bo Gyeol acting as married couple. And the few scenes they shared focused more on them being parents, not partners.

As a solo performance, I actually liked him the most, and was quite disappointed with Kim Tae Hee. While she aced some scenes, overall the performance fluctuated the most throughout the show.

I do agree that it got messy closer to the end. The introduction of the new exorcist was useless (as the same plot could have been told with the existing characters), the number of ghost and their stories with all of them being barely explored or totally forgotten. They just tried to add to much into a show, that simply did not need it...

great review 👍🏻

If it was not his choice than it should not be even matter of conversation. it's not like he could say no. he also said he would rather stay in Inferno. He talked with other girls because they asked him to talk with them, the same way Seulgi kept talking with Jungwoo because he went to her to talk with her. Neither Seulgi nor Jinyoung tried to talk to each other. The issue is on both sides. They both complain how they can't talk to each other while also BOTH doing nothing to make it happen.

For episode 6: He said it to other girls the same way Youngjae told Soi he wants to talk to other girls - coz they don't want to seem rude rejecting everyone. He said that, but he barely finished the sentence and went straight up to talk to Seulgi. He literally ditched all the girls, half of them he never really talked to, and went straight to Seulgi. During that conversation he also said Jungwoo is a good competitor... What could that possibly mean if not that both of them compete against each other for Seulgi. He also told her twice during just that short conversation that he had a great time with her in Paradise.

When they actually talk, it goes great. They assure each other both. But also both of them refuses to actually take the first step and both would rather play push and pull.

Why it's a guy who needs to assure her, and not another way around? While introducing themselves Seulgi clearly stated she is a straightforward and honest about her emotions type of a person, why Jinyoung said he is more reserved. By what they said, she should reassure him instead of talking how much of a heaven Inferno was with Jungwoo.

None of them is as bad as people claim they are. From how I see it they both actually enjoy the push and pull - if they did not, they would have said conversation, instead of hanging out with other people and making each other jealous. The same way he did not go to talk to her, she did not go to talk to him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's a two way street and they keep missing each other.

Let me rephrase then: Does Seulgi remind you of a player too?

likes the other a little bit more < sure. This is not a case of a little bit, but a lot. Throughout the show it was Jungwoo following Seulgi and doing everything for her, while I don't think she took one proactive stand herself. There is a difference.

The "a bit more" simply does not apply in their situation coz it's more than just a bit.

Seulgi and Jinyoung treat each other the same way. They both are not straightforward about each other feelings, they both want the other one to take the first step, both make each other jealous hanging out with others, even tho both want to truly hang out with each other. How is he a player? Then is Seulgi also a player? Because I don't see much difference in their behavior in terms of showing interest on other people. For me they simply both like the push and pull game that is going on, but this natural thing is too slow in the context of the show, since they are forced to make ultimate decision fast.

The idea that the guy has to do everything for the girl is not right. Seulgi and Jinwoo are not partners, and in a healthy relationship, partnership is important. But it's all just Jungwoo doing everything for Seulgi no matter what. How is that better and healthy? For whom? Maybe for Seulgi, for sure not for Jungwoo...

The boss dated other men in the past and Seung Hyun new he was gay since god knows how long since he joined the Rainbow Ricecake club and had a crush on Yoo Seong for years - love it.

But then this is exactly the story and project one would assume an openly gay director who is also a LGBTQ rights activist would take. This whole show just makes me so happy.

This show makes me so happy, coz it's just so normal 😭
They are slightly changing things from the webtoon, but I actually like the changes.
The kiss on the cheek was meh, I rather they did a small peck on the lips, but I was not that bothered.
But the karaoke scene I liked more here in terms of Seung Hyun and Jong Chan's interaction.
Tho I wish Jong Chan went a bit more strict against the other employees, coz in this version Seung Hyun got bullied and humiliated but no one knows about it, while in webtoon Jong Chan was aware of it

Literally there are no nice comments about Dongwoo. Most people stopped criticizing thim tho because he literally did nothing last 2 episodes. He just exists... there is nothing to comment on. A lot of people criticized Youngjae tho, and also a lot of people had negative things to say about him being vague and avoiding Soi.

I'm more surprised about the lack of comments about Jinyoung. His and Seulgi's situation is quite similar, yet only one get "analyzed" by fans. Both had 3 people showing interest in them, both like each other the most, both clearly rejected one person, while also keeping the 2nd one close enough without the same level of straightforward rejection.

Se Jun was the only winner in my eyes in that wrestling. < I know right. The only cool guy in that situation. For me giving up a dumb game that literally makes you bleed just shows he has his priorities straight lol

Just like up above, I hadn't seen any hate on Minsu on here, but someone is asking about that. < and this is also something I disagree with. It's exaggerating minor thing to see as a huge deal.

This^ I honestly think he made a wrong choice to be on this show. He seems to want a stable relationship and it's obviously not something Nadine 1. wants right now 2. can have at this moment of her life.

Then people should go complain about haters on ig and twitter. Why bring that negativity here?
