I'm re-watching episode 10 and I realized something about Mi Ho's parents.
They basically adopted Eunha into their family. She's obviously comfortable with them and goes there when she has no where else to go. So it make's perfect sense that they would be accepting of Il Yeong being an orphan and just adopt him too. He's super comfortable with them and they just welcome him with open arms. Such sweet characters.
I dont understand why some people are upset that a guy might be interested in more than one person. Are they supposed…
I agree with you 100%! Sometimes you like someone on a superficial level (looks, personality, etc.) But once you get to know them and thier habits and try to build a relationship with them, thats when things fall apart. Youngjoon and Myeongkyun are a perfect example. Both nice looking and in similar fields, but thier personalities don't mesh.
I think this season is more realistic. They are in the house what, 7 days? Everyone isn't going to fall deeply in love in 7 days. It's usually a red flag when someone love bombs and comes on really strong in the beginning. It's RARE and HIGHLY uncommon to encounter a situation like "Junseongho" that actually lasts and is seemingly healthy.
I think this seasons contestants are really healthy and seem way more open to actually finding a long term solid relationship. To do that, they have to date several people and earnestly try to get to know each other. Yes, it's frustrating. Yes, they seem wishy-washy, but it's 7 days to find the person you at least want to take things further with OR at least to find multiple people you'd like to stay in contact with to potentially foster something more with later.
With that being said, I love the progression between Hwi/Seungjin. It feels more natural. They're becoming friends first and now feelings are starting to develop.
I was thinking that too! They are closer in age, they have similar temperaments. And they support each other. I'm looking forward to Seungjin/Hwi, they are so adorable.
Epi 9&10 is a nice reminder. Your experience & pov is not the same as your partners or the person you date.
This is so true! I felt bad for MK, YJ should have clearly cut him off. Being left hanging and not knowing why is very hurtful. But also, I'm reminded of a line from Pride & Prejudice, "most people aren't brave enough to continue pursuing someone else without proper encouragement." MK has to learn to express himself more when he likes someone.

a medley would be chaotic good!!! like a series where each episode is a different trope but with the same actors! imagine how amazing that would be. Like it could be called AU (Alternate Universe) where the same characters live out different tropes in like hour and thirty min episodes!
What bothers me is her "innocence" and now "oblivious" she can be. She is literally going on dates with the prosecutor…
I think Mi Ho touched on this a bit in the beginning. But Eun Ha has searched for Hyun Woo for many years. Every time she encounters someone who might be him, she takes time to get to know them to see if they are the person she's looking for. I can imagine it's a sensitive thing because of how Hyun Woo disappeared. I think that's why she's going on "dates" with the prosecutor, she feels comfortable with him, he's giving her advice and it feels like her connection to her childhood friend Hyun Woo. But after he confirmed he wasn't her childhood friend, she wasn't really reaching out to him. He popped up at the cafe and then took her home when Dong Hee left her. However, he knows who the real Hyun Woo is, so I'm sure Eun Ha wants to know.

Ya know... technology is fantastic. I asked ChatGPT to make a new trope.
Certainly! Here's a new trope idea:
"The Unlikely Archivist"
Description: In this trope, the protagonist is an ordinary person with an unassuming job as an archivist, librarian, or records keeper. Unbeknownst to them, their job gives them access to hidden knowledge, ancient secrets, or powerful artifacts that could change the world. The story revolves around their discovery of these hidden elements and their journey to protect or utilize them, often involving unexpected adventure, danger, and self-discovery.
Characteristics: Ordinary Beginnings: The protagonist starts as an average person with no inclination towards adventure or heroism. Hidden Knowledge: They stumble upon classified information, ancient texts, or mystical objects while performing their mundane duties. Transformation: Their discovery thrusts them into an unfamiliar world of intrigue, requiring them to grow and adapt quickly. Unexpected Skills: The protagonist finds that their knowledge of archives, research skills, and attention to detail are crucial in navigating the challenges they face. Reluctant Heroism: They often resist the call to adventure but eventually embrace their role, driven by a sense of responsibility or moral duty. Supporting Cast: Includes knowledgeable mentors, skeptical authorities, and companions who either help or hinder their quest. Example Scenario: Sarah, a shy and introverted archivist at a small-town library, discovers a hidden room filled with ancient manuscripts detailing the existence of a lost civilization with powerful artifacts. When a secretive organization tries to seize the information, Sarah must protect the manuscripts and uncover their secrets. With the help of a local historian and a tech-savvy teenager, she embarks on a journey to safeguard humanity from a looming threat, discovering her inner strength and bravery along the way.
This trope combines elements of adventure, mystery, and self-discovery, offering a fresh twist on the classic hero narrative by focusing on an unlikely and relatable protagonist.
I wonder when kdrama writers will get rid of that ridiculous trope of "childhood friends-future lovers" thing.…
Gonna repost this here: It's a cultural thing. If I remember correctly it stems from the Korean War when people lost track of each other and always wished they would be reunited some day and some people actually were. I believe it also has some connection to North and South Korean being separated and people losing touch with family and friends. There is also a strong connection to fate and destiny in Korean culture. I think it's interesting that it continues on as a cultural trope.
Maybe it's cultural and korean people believe in soulmates. Maybe for them it's not just a trope but something…

In the preview, it looks like they are in an at-home studio. I bet Ji Hwan gets everything Eun Ha needs to grow her channel! Thanks for the tips Ye Na!
