If you rewatch the opening, you’ll see they included pastries with variations. The contestants are bakers and pastry chefs.

Mina Sue is just a lost cause. Major emotional issues. Boss move for Min-gee; was hoping she’d pick Su-been. They are a better match, as are Sung-hun and Hee-sun. Seung-il had been disrespectful for too long. And although Subeen and Hee-Sun are a good match, the distance will sour the relationship. I think I-geon missed a lot of opportunities to move forward with Go-eum in the pool. My favorite, Jae-Jin should be okay. Love his vibe. Great cast, but the panel is a little off this year. Don’t understand the apologies to Mina Sue. The production team should shut up and let the panel say what we’re thinking at home. A more interesting show.

Another great season for “The Boyfriend”. Everyone seemed to have partnered or walked away with a heightened sense of self. I hope to never hear another gay person asking parents and other relatives for “forgiveness” re: their sexuality, as if he/she has done something criminal. Wishing all of them happiness in their relationships or finding love.

That’s my point. If all you can pull from the contents of “Hidden Love” is a mini drama, suggests it wasn’t needed. It appears the writer/production company was piggybacking off the classic, opposed to adding to its greatness.

Aware of “HLFU”, being a mini-drama. Basically, all is subjective, according to taste or bias. I must say, Chinese Empress, you fight for your beliefs.😄

I arrived here, searching shows and synopses and reading the various comments. Had no clue, “Loving Strangers” is a remake of “My Mister”, which is a classic. That alone, pushes me towards ambivalence: in homage and authenticity. “Love the Way You Are” was alright, but “Something in the Rain” was always in my head. “Hidden Love” is a classic, so why attempt “Hidden Love for You”? Some things are meant to be left alone. And it’s basically unfair and appalling, if people are downgrading one show to boost another. It suggests a lack of faith in your selected version. I might come around to watching “Loving Strangers”…to be decided.

Still cheering Taeheon’s philosophy on embracing his humanity. Whoever coined the phrase “coming out”, seemed to have created a bigger problem for Gays. Coming out, suggests hiding, because something is wrong with one’s being or sexuality; outside the “norm.” What is normal? Heterosexuals don’t announce their sexuality, why should others? And whose business is it anyway? It pained my heart to hear many of the Green Room participants refer to themselves as not being normal, not being able to have children. I thought, they need to be brought into the 21st Century. That’s why Taehoen’s philosophy was powerful: embrace yourself, accept who you are, to heck with the ignorance of others. Hopefully, the guys will learn to live THEIR lives and find happiness. Wishing them all inner peace and loving relationships.

I thought he was being arrogant and belittling, that he socialized in an upper crust of Gays, compared to Tomoaki. Hiroya was the one owing the apology, I thought.

Me, too

Yes, I thought that game of questions was unique.

My sentiments, as well! Love Min-gee, Subeen and Jae-gin (surprised he settled so quickly, looked for more suspense). Great cast and initial start. Oh, yes…Sung-hun. Poor Baby. He’ll probably bring Mina Sue back to NY.

Hampering the image of American women, who are thought to be sexually loose and carefree.

Then we’re back where we started. Be well!

“Cannot”? You just made my point. It’s not about celebrities, but useless folks with useless lives!

“Self-righteous…terrorized”. A true case of damned if you do, damned if you don’t! Why can’t KTO just BE?!

OUCH😂

Cunning and possessive?? No, Thank You! Handsome, but too many Red Flags.

I thought was referring to “Devil Judge.”

I’m not a time-travel person either, Cynthia. I debated, but JS is such a damn good actor and a great visual—for an old lady like me—that I’m tossing alternate realities to the curb. Guess I’ll go on and watch “Reborn Rich.”

Agree! I, too, was awed by his capabilities at such a young age.
