It's mostly political, mystery. there is also romance but that's a subplot. There's a season 2 and will be a season 3 in the future. It's really well done, as the ratings will tell you.

I'm rewatching this after years for the first time. And it's still so good. Scenes that make me laugh and then cry, and the politics and mystery! Brilliant. The romance seems the only weak point according to me, but for some reason even that feels better while I'm rewatching.

April can't come sooner!!

I Geon is an actual red flag. Thinking about another girl and calling her "cute" multiple times during a date with Go Eun is not cool at all. Also, during the bonfire he said he'd never compromise himself for Go Eun, but...since when is bringing food to a girl something that needs compromising?? That's just taking care of her! He said Seungmin and Hyunwoo were like servants just because of this. Go Eun made a good choice here.

is there any romance so far?

The song that Ji Hyun and Won Kyu listened to in EXchange has become really popular in Korea, it's #1 currently on streaming sites. This shows the influence of this show, they played the song only once I think, and showed it's lyrics that Won Kyu wrote, and it became so popular even though it was released years ago.

yes Ye Eun is an official member now.

these kind of people just make themselves more miserable themselves but blame others sigh

exactly

true true!

All 3 guys who like Go Eun never even waver. They're all in on her. All other guys have multiple interests but these 3 guys don't even look at other girls. One calls her his love, another gave up paradise because he couldn't go with her, another talks to her all day and doesn't let other guys talk to her😂

yess

I think Hyeon Woo came to the wrong show. He's too inexperienced and sweet for this show where everyone is so flirty and has come for popularity.

sigh. like i said. the least she can do is atleast TELL Sung Il she's curious about someone else. but clearly you didn't even read my comments before saying this stuff. keep going then :)

ok so that was only during lunch time right? He didn't sit next to her or look at her. Which I get, must be hurtful, but does it really warrant such a big tantrum? He himself came right after lunch to the makeup room to talk to her, but she was talking with Su been then.

My whole point is she should have atleast mentioned Su Been to him. Because Sung Il has been honest and respectful towards her for his feelings. i mean idc if no else thinks this way, but I don't idolise anyone on this show seriously and if you think she's smart and mature, well...maybe after a few years you will rewatch and see she's flawed like everyone (which is totally normal, I'm not even hating on her or anything) so no need to act like everything she's doing is right and heroic.

match made in hell

how has he played her? He told her he's curious about Mina Sue. Min Ji said a thousand times that she's okay with him going to paradise with Mina Sue. The second they go, Min Ji flips, talks with Mina Sue and all of a sudden interested in Su Been. What did Sung Il do wrong here pls explain lol

can say the same to you guys....she could've atleast told Sung Il she's interested in someone else too. Isn't she doing same thing as Mina Sue (on a very small scale lol) where she is doing good with a guy but suddenly turns to someone else now?

Why are people still defending Min Ji like?? She had a convo with Sung Il right before her decision and acted like usual, but then she picks another guy? For what? I thought she was 100% sure and went around calling Sung Il "my man", and said things like "don't come for the queen's suitor" but then left him like that lol? I mean ofc she should get to know everyone but for 6 days she's only been looking at Sung Il, even cried and said he caused her pain but she didn't even respect him enough to tell him she's curious about another guy now. While he since day 1 was honest about his feelings and told her that Mina Sue now has no chance with him.

Also lecturing Mina Sue was unnecessary. She didn't ask for any advice so why act like you have the right to judge her to her face for no reason? Everything Min Ji said was true but at the same time her words were disrespectful and hurtful. Mina Sue surprised me by not reacting badly, she just cried on her own later, thank god.
