Exactly! I don't blame her for changing her decision midway but she can't force YS to change his'. That's very insensitive and inconsiderate of her. But anyway, she'll learn and grow up too! Everyone has their phase!

Oh myyy agreed! After going thru lots and lots of hate comments, thank you for the sweet and honest comment :))

🤣🤣🤣 hey c'mon! Just because participants brought one ex, does that mean they have not dated anyone else?

Do you think YS and HJ can end up together?

That happened long ago. As far as I have observed, she has been consistent and never confused anyone. Her balcony conversation with BH in Japan, perfectly explains the timeline.

Ahh yes, that's so true! I'm annoyed whenever he says 'I'm not 100% sure about getting back together'. What does that even mean? I wish he would talk about his concerns to someone so we can know what he is worried about or what he is thinking.

Hmm.. is it cos they only recently broke up? I honestly am thinking about it now. 7-8 year long relationship needs time to heal right? YS seems to be the kind of guy who is careful and cautious. I want to give him the benfit of the doubt. Let's see. Sigh!

Hmm yes I agree on this. This is the same exact reason why I think he has a higher chance with MK than with his new interest. I'm not sure how they approached the issue while they were still together. Sometimes, I tend to think what if MK was conversing just like how she is doing now and what if there was a maturity gap. However, I agree to your point cos I noticed them as well - each time he brings up her initial decision. I know and I have seen how he always waited for MK in the beginning. Yet, I'm not sure why he never wanted her so much that he wouldn't even talk to her? That is very grey to me. I can only imagine maybe they had a bad breakup or they were hurt so much that the distance became permanent. Tbh, I do not understand at all. Also, why does he need so much time? You are right to point out things. So now there are 2 issues - One is MK blames him for everything and isn't talking about how they'll resolve the problem. Two is, YS isn't giving her a straightforward answer either. I wish YS would make up his mind soon.

HJ is literally one of the best participants who is able to clearly express her emotions as it is. She also has a pretty healthy relationship with everyone. She is also the most misunderstood and underrated.

Agreed. Tbh, realistic. And what do you think? I'm watching without subs so I'm able to understand that MK asks if YS is okay with never seeing her again after the show? That I'm able to understand but idk what he responds. Where does his heart seem to lean towards? Altho I like YS/ HJ interactions and vibe, I can absolutely understand if he picks MK and makes the compromise in their relationship. After all they have spent a long time loving each other. What's your take?

I see a lot of comments talking about how MK isn't respected. I'd like to understand what exactly that means. Is it cos she cries over him and he still goes on dates with others?

Agreed. Girl is missing the whole point. I just wrote a new comment on that.

MK/ YS ~
Point is not about getting back together. Let's say they get back together. Then what? Is a future guaranteed? They still need to resolve the issue that made them break up right? MK says YS is the one to change. But I agree with the panelists. For any breakup, both the parties have responsibilities.

YS seems to be the person who thinks about the outcome, while MK seems to think about the 'now'. This is not at all the right approach. What does she expect to solve by getting back with him? That area is super grey tbh. Crying, whining, stress cannot be the reason why an already broken up couple should get back together. I know it's hard for her. But you can't make decisions emotionally. What outcome does she foresee? That YS will compromise? What is she willing to do to fix their relationship? She must talk from that angle to make YS think, rather than crying, scolding, whining, arguing, complaining. What does that make of her 8 years with him?
Both of them should talk about what they can do to resolve the issue. This is, I'm sorry to say, not going anywhere.

Again this is what JH/ WK couple are doing. They are addressing the issue they have. WK wanted to go on a date with her to check his feelings. JH asked him to show his loyalty. He did. Now they are talking about the issue, tring to find a solution. They are on the path of compromise, understanding and healing. Idk what will become of them but that is the right approach for any couple to reunite. And no, I'm not taking any sides. I'm stating facts.

Oh but I don't see such a thing. MK was pretty set on finding a new guy and YS was still hung up on her when the show began.

Yesss. That was super cool! Mujin is so mature for his age and is a very genuine and authentic guy. He and BH click well together :))

3+ hours would be nice Hahaha! Just kidding!

I like HJ/ YS although I am well aware the chances of becoming a couple are low. While it is true that SY approached MK with a strategy, it is also true that he didn't kow MK was that vulnerable. Cos once she sprang up from her seat, he calmed her down, asked her what she was going to do and also told her how to approach. If SY really schemed, then let me ask. He is a strategist and I 100% do not see any issue with him doing his best to get what he wants. He told HJ that as well. However, what has YN to gain by telling MK about couple ring? YN has gain points telling BH about the couple ring but not MK. And MK forgot everything that SY said and focused on the 'unofficial date' and 'couple ring'. I did not see her scheming at all. She was hung up on his date with HJ when the show did not organize it. If we are going to find someone to blame for MK's actions, then YN is equally responsible too. I'm stating facts. However, I do not think anyone is to blame here. From SY's perspective this is what I see -

'I want to get back together with HJ. You want to get back together with YS. Let's work together.'

Besides, the way SY communicated with HJ is way different from how MK approached YS right? Again, different people have different levels of maturity and way to handle a situation. HJ knows SY wants to win her. YS knows MK wants to win him. But the way SY and MK handled it with their exes are different right? Can we blame anyone for a person's actions? Be it YN or SY.

Between SH-SH dynamics, there are indeed a few things. SH has been consistent towards BH since the beginning. As in since the moment he saw her in the house. And he has expressed his interest to go on a date with her straightforwardly as well. Also, with So Hyeon, he has not shown interest. She kept seeking him, yes and he did not tell her directly that he isn't interested either, yes. He did tell her right that to him, she is more like a celebrity while he feels like a side character. He got confused as to why she would show in any interest.

With SH, he is all for BH. Similarly, he couldn't find out whether So Hyeon was all for him. Again, I'm saying all of this from his perspective only. I'm not supporting or condoning his actions especially given that they are in a dating show on TV. With BH, it was almost love at first sight for him. He expressed his interest towards her. She kept denying him. He felt conflicted. He tried to compare himself with Mujin as to why Mujin got the chance and why he did not. He feels frustrated. Suddenly someone new shows up and wants to talk to him. He is confused cos she is beautiful, a celebrity kind of woman while he views himself as ordinary. He is confused if her interest towards him is real or not. Ofc, in the latest episode he clears the misunderstanding.

Also, look at Sang Won. He has been inconsistent since day 1. And I believe that is his process of getting to know people, be sure of what he really wants before making a move. He confused YE by buying the wasabi, told everyone that he is certain after meeting the two ladies in one day, wanted to get to know BH, and now is interested in talking to SH as she is his ideal type. I do not think it is wrong at all. For some people, they are able to find what they want in a person. To some, it takes time to get to know everyone and find a match. I wouldn't even mind if a participant cannot connect with anyone. Because, that just means that they are taking it seriously.

To me, being imperfect is not at all an issue. People can learn and grow but being dishonest and insincere knowingly is a no-no.

So Hyeon knew from the beginning that SH was not interested in her. However, she liked him. This is quite similar to YE/ SW. YE only liked SW and him not taking an interest in her did not stop her from pursuing him. I see Sang Hyeon as a raw person, unfiltered, disorganized and real. The point is after their talk in the room, So Hyeon knows how he functions. We cannot compare and say 'Hey hei s younger than you and is more matured. Why can't you be like him?' That wouldn't be right. Whether So Hyeon can move on from SH or not is entirely up to her. And I believe, had she been persent in the show since the beginning, things could have been different. She was interested in MJ as well right?

Yep I agree on all these points. In fact, I wonder if he finds Mujin cool for being able to express his emotions freely and maturely while he doesn't have that confidence. In his date with BH, we can see clearly how he compares himself with Mujin. He thinks that he is less cooler compared to Mujin. Thankfully, BH was able to understand and handle it well for him maturely. That's what I said I'm not supporting his actions but I understand him. He faces himself well through this show. It is indeed a challenge for him. What is interesting is he is collected towards a person he is sure of and is a mess towards the person he is unsure of. And this is fine. I'm sure this show would be a great influence where he learns about himself, analyzes his patterns and I believe this will help him overcome his self sabotaging thoughts and actions. I do not think he is evil or red flag or such. It's just a process of discovering himself. And it's okay to not be perfect. So Hyeon was able to see his raw struggles and this will put her heart at ease and help her choose wisely as well. As an older woman myself, I'm able to understand Sang Hyeon. Though like I said this may not be typical for a TV show, since I'm an observer, I can understand him as a person without bias.

SH, of all people, is far from a red flag. He is just himself. I honestly like the fact that he showed us his raw emotions, his confusions, his frustrations, his dilemma. I liked it. Ofc, in a tv program, this may not be viewed nicely but as a person he showed us who he is and not an act. It is understandable for So Hyeon to be frustrated. I mean, girl has expressed herself so much which he did not reciprocate. It is not his fault for not reciprocating her feelings. I think people are frustrated at the fact that he wasn't honest like the others who were pretty set on one person. Had he rejected her politely or told her that he was interested in BH, it would have been a different story. I have written my explanation in a reply to another comment here as well.
