The skill level in this season is so low. I am really dreading each episode. And once again the organizers have…
I don't even think it's necessarily that the skill level is low. Every survival show has popular contestants that many viewers don't see as up to par, but this season just feels so rushed and impersonal. Like you said, the producers' personal picks are way too obvious, but also the whole K and C premise of the show was sloppily dropped only a few episodes in, leading to premature eliminations and a huge drop in morale of many of the participants. The evil edits and total lack of screentime for many contestants also seem worse than usual, and the live voting results make even less sense as well. Just a bad season in general.
I really like Kangmin but I’m conflicted about voting for him. He’s already part of VERIVERY & I enjoy…
Considering Dongheon is back from the military and he and Gyehyeon are already eliminated, it makes more sense to me for Kangmin to return to Verivery. I also don't really want him in the new group because I don’t really like the lineup as it stands right now, and Verivery doesn't seem as close to disbandment as some of the other groups on the show. I think they could still make a comeback.
I actually don't get why Verivery fans are refusing to vote for Kangmin. I get that you love the group but also…
For me, it's wanting him to be in Verivery + me not liking how the group lineup is turning out. As you said, he's young and can still redebut if Verivery falls through, but I'd rather it be with something else. Basically everyone I was curious to see him debut with have already been eliminated, and I'm not even including the other Verivery contestants in that.
Honestly, it's hard for me to even pick 3 to vote for now. Most of the people I was mainly interested in were eliminated or are now on the verge of elimination, and I kind of don't want the remaining ones I like in the debut group anymore because I just don't see the vision now. That's not to say there's anyone in the top 8 I actively dislike, and I don’t think they're dozens or anything either, but most of my passion is gone regardless.
I wish Chingyu had more support. He's sweet, one of the best dancers on the show, would be a great maknae, and isn't much younger than Han Yujin was when he made it into Zerobaseone.
I remember seeing a different BL with this same exact plot years ago, and it looks like they're both based on the same story. This one has a much higher production value, though. Cute show.
