They sent a message of comfort to each other, he kept following her blog posts because he was attracted.

She finds him attractive but the revelation that he's been following her blog was what piqued her interest. "He must be into me"

It's not normal from first impressions to get confessions unlike Kdramas in the first few days.

There's a physical attraction but they need to have conversations to discern if there's more.

Both are protecting their egos, she's more assertive in trying to get him to answer questions about his interest level in her.

Both are introverts, processing their own feelings for each other.

If other candidates distract them, that will cause the other to lose confidence.

The women comes across as more confident, as they're initiating the conversations with the men.

The age, career reveal illustrated women are attracted to successful men.

One week, glacial pace of the male introverts makes the pairing difficult.

Yeji and Dogeon's realization of 100 vs 10 was fatal.

Yeji wants reciprocity. SeonHo matched her 2x with 50.

She may have realized it was a mistake to change her voting pattern.

He's left behind for the other women.

Panelists were cheering for Yeji going all in on Dogeon.

Panelists realised her voting for someone else may have backfired.

Yeji failed in "mantling" SeonHo. 🦅

These are fictional characters in a fictional story.

She was hesitant about dating 2ML. Her best friends pushed her to have her first dating experience.
Results: She's had three horrible dates with her idol worship of twelve years. (Up to EP6)

ML has apologised for the misunderstandings, shown his sincerity of her as a person and employee.

The contrast between the males could fill the Grand Canyon.

Boss-employee relationship is very common trope. 937 results

That's how he was written.

Each character is written to evoke a reaction from the audience and drive the story.
Their history: SML+FL: shared loneliness, his public image, his confessions, his gift of the necklace, his crutch of carrying her idol diary/journal.

Team Hagi vs Team Chan.

There's two sides unfolding: the ex girlfriend lifted the curtain on his flawed personality vs his curated public image.

Her personal growth will require to reassess her biased perception of the 2ML as a person. He's demonstrated he's NOT a good fit for her and has only opened her old wounds of being an outcast.

Up to EP6 three dates with Chan, how did she feel afterwards?
Ex shows up, she runs aways feels humilated
Date two: fans, paparazzi show up, she runs away, freezes outside waiting for him
Date three abandons her at their dinner date b/c a meeting with a director

They have a history, both supported each other with kind words but fast forward his actions make it clear she's not a priority. His career, protecting himself comes first.

That question is at the heart of “My AI Partner: Strange Love,” a new dating reality series that takes modern romance into completely uncharted territory.

The show invites real-life participants to date AI partners and experience firsthand what happens when artificial intelligence enters one of the most unpredictable parts of being human: falling in love.

Episodes: 6

Bias

FL has a physical attraction towards the idol but that relationship has too many hurdles for it to be successful as written. Idol's career requires a modified dating relationship, normalcy isn't permitted.

Celebrities sign up for that spotlight involuntarily in some cases. A non celebrity must adjust their life if they want to date an artist.

This is why many famous people don't make their dating public.

I don't discount artists "music videos", movies, tours as not acting either. They hire directors, writers for them and it's illogical to disparage them.

If you were born before the MTV generation, its clear how musicians earned acting credits. TV commercials count from as on camera experience.

As I've said earlier, a lying corpse with no dialogue for one minute, an extra in a crowded scene (bit part) meets that criteria.

"Resume Listing: Actors list commercial work on their professional resumes, often using a section titled "Commercials" with a note that conflicts are available upon request to avoid signaling potential brand conflicts to casting directors.
IMDb Database: Television commercials can be added to an actor’s IMDb profile under "Other Works" or as a specific title (e.g., Brand Name: Title (Year) (V)) if the commercial has been broadcast to the public and meets eligibility criteria.
Industry Recognition: While not "credits" in the film/TV sense, booking a commercial is considered a legitimate professional credit that demonstrates on-camera experience and can lead to residual payments and further industry opportunities. "

"Kevin Costner made his film debut as a corpse in The Big Chill, and Taylor Swift played a dead body in a 2009 episode of CSI. Other notable actors who have played corpses include Robert Downey Jr. in The Nice Guys, Brad Pitt in Deadpool, Bill Murray in Parks and Recreation, Jim Carrey in The Dead Pool, and Jon Cryer in NCIS. Additionally, Daisy Ridley played a corpse in Silent Witness, Val Kilmer appeared as a deceased cowboy in Dead Man, and Johnny Galecki played a victim in I Know What You Did Last Summer."

I don't second guess directors, writers or MDL's decisions for traffic.
Famous people, Artists, Celebrities doing a TV spots meet the definition of actors.

Yes to Japan pop artists that have done acting. MDL's editorial decisions belong to them.

Purists seem to have a bias against pop artists in general.

Was is strawberry, chocolate, or natural dairy? 😂🥛🐮

I've learned to not second guess the writer, director for the story.

As mentioned above, I have watched many Kdramas this isn't uncommon trope, cliche.

I still laugh at the unexpected fish kiss from bumping into each other.

Their opinions outweigh others.
IMDB, MDL are wrong.
Facts are irrelevant to them.

Another village idiot thinking they can redefine what constitutes an actor.

Did you ride the same short bus to school?

You grant nothing, your opinion has always been irrelevant.

You don't get to define actor remains the subject matter.

An actor is a person who portrays a character in a production, performing in traditional mediums like theatre or modern media such as film, radio, and television. The term is historically masculine but is increasingly used as gender-neutral for all performers, while actress remains the specific feminine term, though many professionals prefer the inclusive actor.

The profession involves interpreting roles through voice and body, requiring skills in memorization, auditioning, and research. Actors work across various formats including musicals, video games, and advertisements, with careers typically following a cycle of auditioning, preparation, and performance.

Playing a corpse with no lines qualifies you as an actor. It's a bit part.

How often did your parents remind you to not eat the crayons?

You get credit for acting in a tv commercial with no lines, in a crowd.

It's absurd believing your definition matters.

That was the original reply with the first sentence of her MDL profile.
