Apparently episode 10 will air on the 14th.

If someone had said to me, "some episodes of this drama will make you cry real tears", I would have avoided it. That would have been a pity, because actually I cried with the characters, and felt much better afterwards. It's an oddly therapeutic drama.

It will air tomorrow. The baseball game went ahead today, so the drama was pushed to tomorrow.

Oh, I'm pretty sure you're right! He's very aware of the cameras, and is doing the whole "sweet and supportive" act, but I think he will let her down badly.

I can see how you got that. However, her insistence on airing the vulnerable girl's trauma, just because it will get ratings, and not considering the long-term impact of that, doesn't make her a very nice character. At the moment, I'd say she has fairly selfish reasons for most of her actions. I'm hoping she might have some character development though.

I hated him in My Roommate is a Gumiho, but he's a good actor, and his character in this is completely different. I do understand how people can find an actor impossible as a lead when they associate them mainly with villains though. After Young Lady and Gentleman, I am still guilty of skipping everything that Park Ha Na is in, even though she's probably a lovely character in some of them.

I'm sorry, that made me laugh so hard! Normally, I would agree with you, but if you ask someone here (UK) what the Prime Minister's name is at the moment, I wouldn't blame them for not remembering. We've had 3 prime ministers this year, and two monarchs.

When she came out with the "heartbroken" line it felt horribly false to me, and I wanted to look around for hidden cameras. I'm still fairly convinced that half her actions are deliberately aimed at manipulating everyone around her, and that she's working with someone on the filming team to get the results she wants.

Brilliant summary. Thank you. ❤️ I agree totally.

FL's sister's son.

I have a nasty feeling that 2FL could be even nastier than we think, and is using the aggressive producer's determination to create drama to make sure she gets inextricably linked in the programme with ML, to the extent that (she thinks) he will give in and be with her for real.

She was afraid that if she didn't make it seem real, he wouldn't agree to stay with 2FL in the programme. If he didn't do that, she was worried that Chae Ri would expose the other girl's trauma as an alternative "explosive" plot line. It was her "noble idiocy" moment to save the vulnerable girl contestant. She could have told him why she was doing it, rather than just letting him think she meant it, but perhaps she felt this was the only way he would agree to it. What she didn't anticipate was that Chae Ri was going to mess things up either way. I do hope Chae Ri isn't going to find another way to get the vulnerable contestant's story on tape anyway for episode 2 of the dating show, but it did seem as though she might.

I had that same horrible feeling while watching episode 3. 😢 I hope we're wrong.

Yes, she keeps saying "as long as the show is still on, I have a chance with you", which really doesn't make sense when the other person quite obviously loves someone else.

Unfortunately, it looks like ML is going to go into "nothing matters any more" mode, and if the hospital malpractice accusations start, he may well tip over into depression again. 😔

Chae Ri is heartless. Everything she does is to get ratings and she doesn't care who she tramples to do it. I'm not sure why so many people seem to love her.

Instagram seems to suggest 28 October

I don't like him at all. I hope he falls for her but gets disappointed. I quite like the dynamic of her with the young production assistant.

I think this is the idea though... to start off showing her "upholstered", as you put it. Once she gains confidence (which I'm fairly sure is the plan) she might be styled better.

They are right. Re-watch the episodes. He was forced into doing the programme and doesn't want to be there, so he asks her to play along with him, so he doesn't ruin the programme.
