I'm not sure it matters whether or not he was meant to be a gang leader. What matters is that he isn't a good one. I also don't think that your statement about him not aspiring to be a gang leader is true. As soon as he was giving the opportunity to become part of his ex boss's gang, he seized it. And then, when he was stopped of furthering the drug business, he took it upon himself to annihilate his boss as well as all of those who were loyal to him. The reason he did this was clearly to have Gangnam all to himself meaning that he would become the sole leader of the gang doing business there. He also didn't have a normal childhood. Not only did he have an abusive father, but his mom also ended up killing him.

Well oh well, if Gi Cheol isn't the worst gang leader I've ever seen... I'm honestly surprised that he has a band of dudes who put their trust in him. At this point, Jung Bae would've been a very capable and smart leader. Just who on earth puts a guy he's just met and has a trillion red flags oh and let's not forget, IS AFFILIATED WITH A DARN COP become his right hand man???? People (Jung Bae) who he's known for a few years have advised him against trusting Junmo and he's out there like a lovesick little puppy constantly ignoring them. Then after he's kicked out his most loyal friend, that's when he starts suspecting Junmo like bfr 🙃 Also, can someone give me the antonym of thorough? Because that's exactly what Gi Cheol is. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

I agree! I also feel like ep 5 sort of sealed that fact for us. When she saw GC at her mom’s funeral she was just like ok and as soon as Junmoo poke his head from behind that wall, she began tearing up. You can tell just from that one scene how much he means to her.

I find that it’s a trait that humanizes his character. It’s an aspect that brings JKC back into the real world. He’s been swept inside this ruthless world of violence and gangs for so long and suddenly he’s reunited with a part of his past that he probably believed he would never meet again. It makes sense to me as to why he would recklessly try to rekindle this old fling. & yesss I most definitely agree with you about JKC being the furthest thing from a morally grey character. The whole point about being morally grey is grappling between good and evil. It can obviously be presented in different ways, but one of the main ways to know whether a character is morally grey is that you can’t say that they’re fully evil just like how you can’t say that they’re fully good.

I truly do agree with you about how realistically speaking she'll probably end up in a LDR with whoever she choses at the end. I was aware of her occupation before it was revealed but it never occured to me that yes indeed, she attends school in the US while the contestants live in Korea meaning LDR lol. I personally love Nadine, I feel like she's relatable and funny. I think that she also provides this sense of proximity to a lot of the international viewers since she is American (or lives in the US). I do hope that she finds someone on the show because it seems as though she has a lot to offer, but I also find her a tiny bit selfish since she's studying in the medical field and probably doesn't have a lot of time on her hands mixed with the fact that she doesn't even live in Korea lol 😅 At the same time, I'm assuming that she's probably looking for a fun experience since she'll have even less time when she heads into med school which is somewhat understandable.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 now this is the energy I'm trying to channel for 2023! Such a clever response haha

Awesome, thank you 😊🙏🏾

Do you know around what time Viu releases the subs?

Yeah I kind of agree tbh & yes for Taeyang joining him in the red flag section 🤣 tbh for me, Taeyang's first red flag is his secret. Second is the way he felt so entitled abt Daon when they're not even dating??? Like what's going on over here?? I felt like I missed a few parts when he snapped at her in front of everyone.

Hard agree lol. I still like Hanu but damn I would never pick him if he spoke to me the way he spoke to Daon in ep 7 ☹

Danm, I will miss Somin sooooo much. Things just won't be the same without Mudeok 😕

😭😭😭😭😭 ikr like why would he ask her if she's a vixen 😩 How did he expect this talk to go loool!

I lowkey feel like Hangyeol purposefully set Hanu up for failure 😭 Like why would he encourage him to talk to Daon while he's tipsy af 😩 That whole drama was so unnecessary but I 100% understand where Taeyang is coming from. He's literally talking to Daon about his feelings and she's completely disregarding what he's saying. At the same time too though, I feel like his remarks to Daon are those one would make to their significant other... These guys haven't known each other for very long so I'm lowkey confused.

The eps are released every Wednesdays. I read on reddit that they're released at 4am eastern time.

Yes, I agree abt Hanui seemingly forcing her feelings unto Hanu. Honestly, it's so... cringy? Like I'm not sure as to why she's practically confessing her feelings for Hanu to everyone. She's constantly saying that she needs him but I'm curious as to why she's saying that before knowing the way he feels about her? At this point, anyone on the receiving hand of her feelings would feel burdened.

I agree with you about Hansol and Dahae. Both were pretty disrespectful to Haneul and it sucks that they haven't apologized to her. I still find them cute, but I wouldn't really see them lasting outside the show unless Dahae changes her views on marriage.

Yes, yes, yes his goofiness and his ability to be both easy going and serious adds to his charms for sure (Minjae also was like that). I'm also happy that his secret was faaaaaaar from resembling Taeyang's secret LOL. I can't get over how cuuuute his secret makes him seem ☺️

Very true, anything can happen at this point especially since the secrets haven't been revealed yet.

I agree with you about Hanui's secret being too big of a scale for this show. And everytime she says that she wants to hang on to Hanu I'm always cringing because we (the audience) know that he feels nothing for her that exceeds friendship 😕 I know that this is easier said than done, but I really do believe that she would have benefited from dating the past 6 years. Clearly the thing that she is mostly scared of is rejection and judgment, and I do think that experiencing those things would have reduced those insecurities she has or put things into perspective for her. She still harbours feelings of shame and I get the feeling that she still hasn't forgiven herself for her past which is why she plans on clinging to anyone who gives her the sentiment that they'll accept her.

I also dislike Chunseol and Dahae. I personally feel like Chunseol should have been called out on the spot because he lacked soooo much tact. There are so many ways to go about saying no in a respectful and gracious way. The way he did it was just plain rude.

OMG!! I literally thought the same thing about Hanu reminding me of Minjae! Minjae was my fave in s1 so it's very understandable that Hanu's my fave in this. Something else about Minjae and Hanu is that they are soooo good at making people feel comfortable around them. Like even Haneul who is very introverted was super relaxed around Hanu during their date, that's how good his energy is. I really do hope that he finds someone he cares for on the show.

I'm kind of under the impression that Daon just likes attention? So whoever gives that to her will ultimately be the one to sway her. I agree that Taeyang 's secret is quite intense 😳 I personally believe that it's selfish of him to ask someone to support this hobby or side job of his (or whatever it is lol). At a certain point, if you want something serious, you'll have to compromise 🤷🏾‍♀️

I agree about their image of one another having been tainted. But I also feel like those are a series of misunderstandings? Daon always ends up eavesdropping when Hanu is baring his heart to his friends so he's not as filtered as he would usually be which is understandable. Also, it seems as though Daon hasn't completely shut the door to Hanu so I'm optimistic that they might try to work things out.

Yes!! I also can't wait for their secrets to be revealed!!

I agree! He and Daon can't ever seem to be on the same page. Also I kind of agreed about what he was saying on the phone about her being lk cunning. I do get that vibe from her, but I still lowkey ship them hehe. I feel like there is more to the surfaced Daon and if Hanu was willing to explore that a little bit more, I think that they would experience something great! Also I feel like I'm kind of bugging but I can't seem to remember their dare?? LOL
