I've finally caught up will all the eps, and all I'm going to say is that I miss the kind of friendships that were formed in the first two seasons.

Have you tried tubitv? It's not available in my country, but it might be available in the US. I think it might be available on Apple TV as well. And if you're ok with unofficial sites, Bilibili has it. :P

Out of all the contestants this season, I'm going to miss seeing YH the most.

Nope, I liked your comment. My comment was meant for Nzzybae.

Umm...you do realize that your comment implies that you think both JS and SH are smug, immature, and petty a**holes, right?

I disagree with a lot of opinions of SW here, but the way he handled his date with YH was frustrating to watch. I get that his mindset going into the show was to get to know everyone individually, and to try to go on dates with each of them. But it was obvious that the age gap between him and YH was a deal breaker for him, and he should have made that clear to YH during their date.

I don't think SW is stringing YH along though - I think SW is just really, really averse to drama and confrontations. He said early on that he didn't like fighting with his exes and he always wants to be seen as 'perfect' (which, admittedly, is not a very healthy way to go about a relationship, but that's not what this post is about, so I'll leave it at that). His inability to reject YH outright seems to be a reflection of that. I'd imagine it would be really uncomfortable for him to spend the last three days in a space where they can't really avoid each other once he gives a definite answer, and that's why he's being all evasive all the time. Also, if he really wanted to lead YH on, he wouldn't have consistently brought up the difference in their ages. It seems like, in the ways that he could, he was trying to discourage YH from pursuing him.

You watched a 3 second clip of their conversation, edited and cut to create the most drama - yes, I call that assuming. Also, it has been mentioned in another post that SW calling SH "special" is not an accurate translation, and the words he used actually don't have any romantic connotations. So I, personally, am going to wait for the next episode before I claim he is "coming in with guns blazing."

And when has he ever complained? When YH tells him that he was supposed to call him and not JS, all SW says it that he felt a little sad when he thought he didn't call him. When he finds out he only got a voice message from Hjin, all he says is he that he waited for a little bit to see if had any other messages. How does any of that translate to complaining?

I think people are too hung up on the "special" term. There are lots of nuances in language, and I think that this term in particular wasn't an accurate translation. It was mentioned in an earlier comment that Koreans have confirmed that the words SW said don't have any romantic connotations. Another commenter that speaks Korean also mentioned that he/she thinks these words meant that SH was special to SW in a way that he wouldn't have gotten to know him if it weren't for the show. And I do agree with that theory. Languages are complicated, and I think subtitles tend to screw us over a lot more often than not because we just take them at face value.

And here's the thing. I can't recall a time where SH says he's confused about how SW feels for him. I think the communication between them is more open than we think, and they both know where they stand with each other. The only thing SH mentions is that he has feelings for both JS and SW, and that's why he is conflicted. It's his own feelings and not SW's that are making him confused.

He hasn't even chosen anyone yet? And it's a dating show. I'm pretty sure all of them are aware of what could happen once they decided to join.

And yes, it's not a BL drama. So why are you already creating drama and an assumed "ending" for it?

Eh. I'm going to wait for the next episode so I can see the whole conversation before I assume that SW is "stopping other people from moving on."

I just watched the preview at the end of episode 9, and that conversation between SW and SH actually felt, to me, like one they were having for closure. When SW says SH is special to him, and that feeling was already meaningful/enough, imo it meant that they were at a point where their relationship would not develop any further. And SH tearing up while acknowledging that he knows that he is special to SW, also had a sense of finality.

This has got to be the most idiotic comment I've read today. I mean, to be fair, I've read a lot - but this one really takes the cake. So...congrats, I guess?

Ah, yes - the one with the eyebrow scratch is HJoon. I agree that HJoon seems sincere in his feelings for MS, and that playing hard to get is quite silly. Hopefully HJoon doesn't get too disappointed or discouraged once he finds out that MS didn't leave him a voice mail.

Yes! More YH please and thank you!

Does your your HJ stand for Hjin or Hjoon? Because if it's Hjoon, I don't think it's going to happen. I feel like HJoon's love language is a mix of acts of service and physical touch, while MS craves for words of affirmation. MS even mentions in his intro that he likes playing hard to get, so I think he wants someone more vocal and straightforward. Unless Hjoon starts talking about his feelings more, I can see MS losing interest in him.

I really want YH and SW to go on a date to see if their dynamics change. Does YH get all quiet around SW because he's aware that SW isn't open to dating him due to their age gap, and he senses how closed off SW is towards him? Or do they just have a hard time finding things to talk about because they're both at different points in their lives? I feel like a date would maybe clarify whether they're compatible or not, and if they're not, then maybe YH can give up and move on to someone else (to who though)?

I think when SW said "I only focus on you" he meant that he is not able to focus on how JS feels or acts when it comes to his relationship with SH. He can't control the way JS feels for SH, and he can't really do anything about it so instead of focusing on the love triangle, he'll just focus on how their (SH and SW) relationship develops. I believe SW really wants to see how he gets along with everybody, and he thinks SH should do the same (he said in that same conversation that he doesn't want SH to only focus on him or to hold him so tight he doesn't look at other options available to him).

I'm really attracted to YH's voice. It's just so smooth and soothing to me. And the way he says 'okay' is so adorable.

I feel like 8 years is a lot more acceptable than 12 though.
