A rollercoaster of emotions
At first, I thought, “What fun could it be watching exes reunite on a dating show? They already know each other.” Well—my god, I was so wrong.. The plot is insanely entertaining.
What really got me hooked is how they keep the exes a secret from the viewers at the start. Watching those connections slowly unfold and finally being revealed is hands down the most exciting part—it adds so much suspense and makes every episode addictive.
I will review the ex couples first as new couples are very uncertain at this point. The ex-couples that hit me the hardest:
Minkyung & Yoo Sik —NINE FREAKING YEARS.
Are you kidding me!! How do you even move on after dating someone for nine years? They practically grew up together. Their story broke my heart the most.
At first, I thought Minkyung was annoying and controlling, and Yoo Sik was just an innocent guy. But wow—I judged way too early. They gave nine years of their life to each other and he couldn’t even reassure her about their future? That’s devastating. What hurts more is that Yoo Sik said before entering the house that he wanted to get back with his ex, yet his actions and words don’t match at all. He seems oddly okay for someone who ended a nine-year relationship. I finally understand Minkyung now. Sadly, I don’t think they’ll get back together..
JiHyeon & Won Kyu
JiHyeon is my absolute favorite girl in the house. She feels the most real out of everyone. And Won Kyu? I am not soo sure! Either he is very confused or just want to confuse Ji Hyeon!
How do you tell someone you love NOT to chase her dreams? Shouldn’t you be her biggest supporter? He let her go because she was struggling and didn’t have a stable career—like sir, isn’t that the mindset people have in arranged marriages? She is right to call it INSINCERE LOVE and now he is confusing her!
You can clearly see that JiHyeon has lingering feelings. Thou I won’t mind her getting back with won kyu but she deserves someone who cheers her on, and appreciates her.
Baek Hyun & Hyeon Ji
I didn’t care much about them at first—they felt a bit overdramatic. I couldn’t tell if Baek Hyun genuinely liked her or was just putting on a show.
But then… those letters in the ex-room.. It was the first time I believed that Baek Hyun wasn’t faking it. On the other hand Hyeon Ji seems to be over dramatic at times(Ex-room drama) and she’s starting to give player vibes. Baek-hyun have chemistry with her but I am not rooting for them. They might even get back together—but they’re just not my favorite.
Yun Nyeong & Jae Hyeong
They seem to be on good terms and don’t really affect each other much emotionally. there aren’t any strong lingering feelings between them. Their story feels calm compared to the others—maybe a little too calm. I guess I’ll need to watch a few more episodes to see if any drama finally shows up.
Ji Yeon & Woo Jin
I honestly don’t know how to feel about them. Woo Jin didn’t treat Ji Yeon well during their relationship, and that’s undeniable. But at the same time, it feels like Ji Yeon is now provoking him—constantly saying in front of everyone, again and again, that she’s completely over her ex and would never get back together with him. Also she treats him like shit !! Woo Jin is clearly acknowledging his mistakes and struggling a lot. Ji Yeon could show some more consideration.
Seung yong and Hyeon Ji
He seemed calm and mature in the beginning but since the ex reveal episode, he is giving scary vibes. Hyeoneji doesn’t have any lingering feelings for him. I am least interested in them lol.
At this point I am not shipping any new couples bcz they all somehow lack chemistry. I liked Yun Nyeong & Baek hyun in the beginning but not anymore. I was rooting for Ji Hyeon & Yoo Sik but that ship also sank. I would have been nice to see Minkyung and Woojin together but they both want to go back to their exes! Don’t know who to ship anymore admist the exes drama!!
