Better Late than Single

It's definitely not "better late than being single" but "better late than to be taken"

As me being single since birth made me think of how I wish I was from this show?? WAHAHAHHA'

It has been a fun ride with them, and it feels like fresh from an oven while watching the first ep. Mostly it was bubbly but it got all sudden to be serious and intense when they already realized and knew that some of them are "competing" with each other on who they'll end up with. While some of them are trying to fix their own things and managed to survive remaining to be single until the end...

Honestly, I've been posting some tiktok clips (@nugumars on tiktok) from this show and its my second show after watching my first ever dating show, nineteen to twenty. Well, I was expecting for more since the first ep and the ending was really unpredictable for me. I think I haven't seen some of the main couple's lovey-dovey and first move scenes in a detailed way but definitely these singles who never had a relationships also reminds me of how hard it may also be, especially thinking twice of what would possibly come up, it may be predicted or it may be in the worst case-scenario. I also understand how some girls we're been underestimated by the other guys, the other where just there for a show, competition and rivalry was there, but I would never forget the maturity as well from them. I also love the progress and the pain that they have carried all the way, and how they made few changes to make the first step to other singles who they we're interested in.


Perhaps, these girls really made an impression for me since the first ep:
~ Yi-do
~ Min-hong
~ Ji-su
They really stood out for me the most because every eps, there are progress and changes. They adjusted and think of possible outcomes and predictions, while the other, like Yido, really felt bad for her for crying like girl you've cried 5x from my list already T-T Yi-do for me was one of the weakest but yet she still had so much expectations and dreams of ending up with Jeong-mok but erm he's kind of a jerk from this show tbh. I really hoped for the betterment of Yido and finding the perfect guy for her, despite jeong-mok might be her first love and first heartbreak.

One of the strongest singles out here from this drama is definitely Min-hong, she was totally my favorite from this show and especially the mindset of giving so much advices to the girls, her roommates and the other guys like jae-yun. I liked her personality and the bravest part of her in giving reassurance to others who she gave advices makes her even more attractive.

Ji-su has been the most favorite and ideal partner among the three guys, Sang-ho, seung-il, and Hyunkyu. The competition of the guys we're entertaining, but to the point as well where I was totally disappointed of the guys really chasing her. I mean its their first time but who knows? Also, she does not rush anything because each day comes by since the first day she really had the chance to talk to them one by one while the other was getting so suspicious of their acts. I mean my girl ji-su was promising, but I felt a bit shocked that she chose Seung-il despite the little incident while they were a bit drunk and talking about their first day and the serious question from Ji-su about her past trauma of why she really choses the right guy as carefully as she is. Ever since the firs day, she really made a n impression to most of the guys since they we're introduced the first day. Hoping that while she ended up with Seung-il she would really find interconnectedness with each other.

For the guys, they we're pretty neutral to me, but definitely I was hoping more for some of them to interaction (and not being late) like seung-chan and mi ji T-T. Actually Seung-chan was one of my favorites, and as well as Jae-yun. I feel like I have not quite things to say but ever since few days passed by I think he had lots of progress and its really obvious that they are surrounded by their own worlds because they we're too shy to interact with the girls within the building or even their dates. I feel like I had a favoritism with Seung-chan and there was one episode where he gave an advice to one of the guys after the singles inside a room were talking about the guy who consumed almost two hours of talking to Ji-su.

Seung-chan, Jae-yun and Sang-ho were my favorite guys who stayed by their own preferences but they had at least few changes and progress of knowing themselves more, and that was the point of entering the show for them.



I think I do really understand the decisions that the eternal singles made at the end of the episodes because they weren't there for fun, but finding answers of where they actually belong from the two questions of "staying single?" or "finding or looking for your first love?". The emotions and confusions were all came with purpose and meaning, and I also love how the crew and production made this show very interesting and yet more intense. Also, the casts from this show were very entertaining, as this has been my first dating show that made me so damn interested in watching aired and being so impatient as I waited for few days or even a week to watch all eps.

But overall, it was okay for me, but then I really wished that they would reunite (but not possible because it might be awkward for them already)

It was exciting in the start but fizzes out towards the end.

This is not my first k- dating show (my fav is His Man 2 till date) and by far what I have seen it is all about glamourous people dating with a lot of physical appeal. Here it was different. A bunch of normal people who went exploring dating for the first time in their life. The concept of this show is very fresh and tried to encompass real emotions of people, for the concept it deserved 10/10.

The problem was how the show became Jeongmok saga. Bro carried the entire show on his back. It was about his love story from top to bottom. The other contestants contributed very less.

**Spoiler**

His love angle with Ji-yeon was very very random. They went from 0 interaction onscreen to 100 % commitment where they want to marry each other. It felt scripted to me. I mean for once i can accept Jeong mok having feelings for Ji yeon but how did she started feeling for him?! Until last episodes she was pinning for Jaeyun and how she liked quiet boys. I am okay even if it was a script but atleast it should make some sense. Either the editing of that loveline was bad or the production team had no solid content of their developing feelings that they legit flashbacked only one scene of them- JY got hurt --> JM did first aid... that too thousands of time. How can you expect me to buy this huh?

Jisu- SeungLi was interesting till it became bland. Bro had 0 interest in knowing her. Its a dating show so i cant expect real conversations but atleast have some talk beyond who was your first choice. "You can pour out your emotions to people and it can mean nothing to them." Had it been real life i would have rooted Jisu to find someone better. And the concept of the show was to date why did they not go to the overnight trip?! That was quite a waste. You say you like someone then obviously you would want to spend time with them alone but here it was opposite.

Rest of the people were quite forgettable. I didn't understand why Minhong and Yeonmeung were pinning over JM. Their screentime was just filled with them bitching about JM. Also I am quite angry with how they handle newbies. They removed their screentime completely to the extent no one knows who they liked. Amongst guys I liked Jaeyun storyline but it was limited.

**End of Spoiler**

All in all it was a bland show where you can skip ep 9 & 10 altogether. I hope they plan a bit better next time. The conversations between the cast were limited to who was their first choice. Please for once have some discussion beyond that the next time.

The people were kind and good no doubt but they have to speak and act for the show. It's shameful that the production planned 3 overnight stays and only 1 couple went.
