I couldn't agree more. Shouldn't women be free to express themselves just like the guys do? Also, isn't it understandable to be sad when a crush doesn't notice you? Why is she receiving the hate?

Wow, things are heating up. Who could tell they only have less than a week left. Too much chaos coming up.

Ooh well I enjoyed those little chats. The best!

Yeah, you're right. We know that but we keep coming back.

I agree with you on the first part of your argument. However, I would argue that its a show for marriage not dating. If it is a show geared towards deciding a potential spouse, you can't be weighing people for that long. Make your decision as soon as possible not drag it out. These are people with actual emotions and not a bunch of onions and potatoes you are choosing from. So, that may be the case at the beginning but towards the end, it doesn't make sense. The main reason is that before deciding on marrying someone, you must really understand them. You must picture yourself in their daily lives. I don't know why the show didn't even factor the aspect of meeting each other's families and friends.
You must factor all those factors before placing marriage on the table. I saw they tried to educate the ladies on finances, which is a step towards the right direction. But they did it only briefly and it wasn't a discussion between both the women and the men.
Deciding to marry someone is actually putting all your eggs in one basket. Its a risk. Watching the show and seeing that only one week is left, there is nothing I can confidently point out to support that any of them are ready for marriage. But they can date more to see if they are compatible. No couple coming from the show should say they are ready for marriage.

So Jeyeon does actually like Jimin. And I mean a lot. It was the producers' editing that made her look undecided. Also, Sang Yun's response to Jeyeon doesn't mean he is unserious. He was actually anxious because after both of their dates, Jeyeon gave her attention to Jimin. He was insecure. That is why he asked her in their last conversation if she sees herself dating him because he felt her heart was towards Jimin. The unreleased clip isn't well translated so I couldn't gather all the details but I can say its really wrong for the editors to hide/remove some parts to create a certain narrative. Imagine I am telling you a story and only tell you what's convenient and have you make some really bad assumptions and then later disguise the details I hid as 'plot twist' just to make you feel like a fool.
That is why I like Transit love. They hide nothing. An episode can be long, even 2h30min but they air everything out. They trust the show is already interesting with the members they have. They don't need to resort to tricks to make a show more popular.
Anyway, I am glad to know Jeyeon isn't robotic like we all thought. We can see her feelings from her expressions. Also, she checks in on the person she's interested in. You will understand after watching the clip.

You're right. 15% is also a lot. They pretend they're keeping things private only to realize they broke up when they're involved with someone random outside the show.

I guess I would rather stick to Kdramas if I am looking for that entertainment value. They are well directed and the outcome is pretty much decided from the beginning. For dating shows to go with the aspect of entertainment value which translates to commercial value means they're most likely going to script it. They're going to push for concepts that capture the masses as opposed to genuinely meeting someone. I suppose that's what you meant by giving the example of the pilot's date.
Anyway, I am yet to find a couple that lasts outside the show. It seems the matched couple at the end have less than 15% chance of surviving in the real world. So maybe sticking the dating shows to just the entertainment value makes one feel less detached to the results. And the better option in the long run for any producer. But I would still prefer my Kdrama over something masquerading to be real. Because from the start we all know its make believe.

I agree. She is beautiful. I am not too worried about that.

Yeah, that's the sad part. I think we were duped. No one on the show except a few look like they have that mindset they're looking for marriage. For example, Jeyeon. How come she does not try to make an effort if someone is a potential husband. Maybe she's making up her mind but the show is almost over. She is still deciding? I thought in such a show where marriage is the end goal, people are less hesitant. This is because they have one month to know everyone there but its not enough to really know someone on a deeper level. So the sooner you settle on a person, the higher your chance of finding a genuine person. Jeyeon doesn't even try to know what the other person likes and do a little gesture for them. In other words, she's just passive. Maybe less confident. She may be different once she's confident. But its taking too long. She's just as frustrating to watch as Shin Min Gyu of HS4. They're so indecisive.

Anyway, I can't fault Haneul. I know everyone has an opinion about the topic but I can imagine if Jimin was around me, I would literally go all in. He has the characters I appreciate in a partner. Someone witty, you can talk to and funny. Appearance matter too but once you like his personality, you see him as the most beautiful being in the world. Those little things are so huge to me. That's why I wonder how Jeyeon isn't smitten yet. Or maybe its the editing. We can't see the full picture yet. I want a relationship where I can banter with the person I am with. Chanhyoung and Chaeun are on the same wavelength and they're cute. But I feel like its like agreeing with everything the other person says. I don't know if that makes sense. So that explains what I like about Jimin's interactions. Its witty and by that I mean you can't predict what he will say next and whatever he says its humorous. So you can't feel offended.
So, that's why I can't fault Haneul because I know I will be worse. I will express myself whole heartedly for that 1 month that you guys would feel I have no self-respect and I will accept whatever results it would come out of it.
I think Changhwan and Soo Ah conversation reflects my mentality. I used to have some ego and pride while I was young. But now that I am older (27years), I don't think those things are important anymore. I don't easily fall for someone so when I do, I always know its someone worth it. They have to be such a good person that I can put my pride aside.

I am sorry to hear that. People you make connection with can make or break your life.

The air time police won't have anything to complain about this week.

You're right. That should count.

I understand him though. 15 years age gap could very well be my niece or nephew. Add 3 more years and she is my daughter. Its just my opinion but a huge generational gap may also mean we may not be compatible in most things.

I was just sympathizing with him in terms of having someone compatible on the show. I very much sympathize with Haneul too even though she also had an option. But an option doesn't always mean its compatible.

You don't care yet took time to respond, LOL. Here's some good news for you, neither does Haneul🤣😂

You're not a good reader, are you? I asked you a question which you didn't answer.

Did I get you triggered? Lol.

Ditto.

Force? Do you understand that terminology? You sound single so I will leave at that. You're not Jimin's spokesperson. He can tell her that himself. Maybe go get someone and leave Haneul alone. She's trying her best.
