sai

Agreed, I just think the idea of having two people that look identical in a dating show isn't very ideal for the other participants bc having someone they can easily identify would make it easier for them to connect with

I'm with you lol, I mainly just watch dating shows for the friendships & connections more than the romance because the romance tends to disappoint at one point.

You don't know her. Sure, she behaved weirdly in their recent date, but to take that and insult everything she's done since she entered the show? She's not a fictional character where you think you know everything about them. You talk about the times she's 'belittled' her brother, but won't mention the times when he's done it back? You don't know the relationship between them just from a couple hours of edited footage.

I'm kinda confused/curious about Grace. We don't have any info about her backstory, was she born into that family or was she recruited like Dahae? Dahae exposing the truth about the scammer lady's biological child just made me more confused, because we know she had a real daughter that died and she's trying to project that onto Dahae, but why wouldn't she do that to Grace?

i think it was the first time i felt ambivalent about a MSR episode. It was just 3hrs of seeing everyone in a down mood. I can't even say I'm rooting for anyone anymore bc something wrong will immediately happen I just hope they all remain good friends by the end of it

thank you!!

I'm new to Chinese dating shows (or Chinese reality shows in general) and I'm really enjoying this but I'm noticing a couple differences compared to Korean dating shows, if anyone could clarify that would be great.
1. I noticed that the participants never go on their phones and only do to receive notifications about dates and messages. Which is weird because in this typical day and age every youth goes on their phones, especially when they're bored. I'm wondering if there is a rule not to go on your phone? So that they focus on bonding more?
2. I noticed that they barely show participants being in their rooms and such, especially night time. Maybe there is a camera cutoff time where they only film between certain hours so the participants get a break. I'm just used to Korean dating shows where they even show moments at 4am in the morning if the participants are staying up drinking and talking.
3. Chinese dating shows (or maybe just this one) don't have the interviews where you can ask the participants directly how they were feeling at a certain moment. At first I thought this might be a barrier to us understanding how the participants feel but surprisingly the editing of picking up subtle glances & emotions does the talking for us, which is a pleasant surprise. I keep getting shocked at how even bystanders easily pickup the romance/crushes happening before them.

Girl I've made my point clear as day and you're still under my comment trying to put words in my mouth and tell ME how I'M feeling when I've explained myself multiple times that I have nothing against the ex couples. Should I repeat it in case you didn't see? I dont have any problem with the ex couples!! I just want a balance!!! But you still chose to ignore my words and make it as if I am saying something else. Go argue with a wall if you're that bored

I'm emphasizing about new couples because in the last 3 seasons there has only been 1 new couple that has lasted compared to multiple ex couples. My entire point is that I want more new couples for the show to have more of a balance, because like I mentioned, the point of the show is for BOTH type of couples to form. And if the majority is ex couples what does that mean? We need more new couples. And how do we do that? Cast a better variety of ex couples instead of having the majority be hung up on their ex. I have no problem with exes getting back together since that is part of the show's concept I just want new couples ALONG with that. Try actually understanding what I'm saying before you twist my words

Yes I am not satisfied with only the ex couples lasting and I do want more lasting new couples. But your comment implies that I am criticizing the participants for their choices when I am not, I am criticizing the casting director. Which I very clearly clarified in my response to you. Are you purposefully ignoring the last 2 paragraphs or what?

No one said they're not allowed to go back to their exes? I think you misread my comment, I am in no way criticizing the participants for the choices they made.

I am simply speaking from a casting/viewer perspective. The whole point of Transit Love is that you choose between rekindling the love with your ex or starting anew with someone else. But if the majority of the couples that are casted are all hung up on their ex, it doesn't give much of an opportunity for new relationships to form. They should've had a more balanced ratio of ex couples that are hung up on their relationship vs ex couples that have mainly healed and are looking for something new.

Because in the end, this is a show. You have to think about how the viewers would take it. They put 5/6 couples that are hung up on their relationship and what did we see? Endless arguing that never seemed to find a solution for countless episodes. The whole reason why Transit Love s2 became so popular is Because a new lasting couple formed. And that was only possible because one had entirely moved on from his ex. So following that, the PD or whoever chose the ex couples for the next season should have naturally casted a good balance.

Right? She simply shows her affection differently. It's been what? 1 or 2 days since their first date. Idk if people wanted her to lovebomb Jaehyung or what but if you pay attention you can tell she likes him

plus she's basically blind without them lol

today's episode was the best one yet it's so nice to have everything out in the open & the relationship between the leads can now be actually genuine

I think Jiwon is one of the best participants to come out of a show like this. She was a great 'catfish', I'm pretty sure she's the only one out of the women to have all male participants catch feelings for her at some point.

Outside that, she's a very lovely, caring person in general. She seems quite close with Seseung & Yunha, and if she's a girl's girl there's not much else to doubt. Also after finding someone she's actually interested in, she very clearly addressed that to Cheolhyun, even explicitly saying Jaehyung's name.

She might have a couple walls in her heart & struggle to outwardly display affection to people but it's clear she cares and shows that in different ways.
She is one of my favourite participants I have seen out of the many reality shows I've watched.

Jaehyung comparing his attraction to Jiwon to the rain was so beautiful omg. I am eating up all the JaeJi scenes they are way too cute idc what doubts others have. I probably rewatched that scene of them talking in that corner outside like 10 times, I am soo their fan.

It's nice that Jaehyung and Choa have built a strong friendship through that one date, it's definitely good to have a friend to talk to & confide in who isn't your sibling because there's only so much you can say to your sibling. Other perspectives help too. I like their friendship a lot, plus this way Choa can feel a little less lonely since she mainly only talked to Cheolhyun & Yoongwoo due to her work schedule, and now she's lost Yongwoo.

I'm not very sure about 2Yoon anymore. Yoonha may have just been staying with Yoonjae because no one else chose her, not because she had big feelings. You can tell Yoonjae's trying to be strong about it but if I was in his place and put so much effort into caring for someone just for them to pick someone else after one date, I would feel so heartbroken. It's just sad that Yoonha didn't really notice his obvious mood change and hasn't tried to approach him (yet). If her feelings have changed it's not her fault I just hope she can effectively communicate that to Yoonjae.

Also the way the panelists were reacting to Yongwoo's very confusing talk to Choa just reminded me of how the panelists reacted to Gwanhee in Single's Inferno 3 lol. You know it's bad when even the panelists are getting frustrated.

Lol I saw that tweet too, funny how we both noticed the same thing at the same time

that helps but then wouldn't she be affected by the murderer still or no..?

I'm so confused about the timeline plot twist in today's episode could someone explain😭

Is anyone else kinda unnerved by the grandfather? He's always calm and smiling, acting more like a butler/caretaker to his wife and a warm presence to his children & Ina. In any other drama this may be fine but Dahae also had a similar exterior in the first episode before we found out her true personality & motivations. Everyone else is written realistically with flaws to their personality, so I doubt he would be exempt to it. We did have that one scene of him possibly cheating on his wife with that lady in the club but they haven't done anything with that opening in his character since. I have a feeling he'll have a bigger role in the story in the upcoming episodes.
