Since the first few episodes, I had wondered why Jungmok is a motaesolo, because he is really good in talking to women and attracting them. In the recent episodes, it was captured how he rigorously thinks of getting into a relationship with the future ahead, meaning he wants his first girlfriend to be also the last (don't we all? but I think he takes this further). I have the same mindset in dating that's why it's hard to get into even in one and I cannot fault his perspective on that.
Going back to falling out of 'love' for Yi Do, it seems that he was already envisioning the life when they will be dating in real life. That's why before the discussion about her ideal type which is having brought up with the same values as her, like being diligently studious and liking about going abroad, he asked her if she also thinks about them dating outside the show. The way he said he grew up in a normal family, it had a slight atmosphere of feeling inferior or maybe just feeling distant to the world she has, which translated to him not being of the same wavelength. Going further, if he is really envisioning the life after the show, he is probably ruminating if he could provide this life for her? She mentioned about wanting to go to New York on Christmas. In addition, she is already earning money while he is still studying. As a man who have great feelings for her, he probably want that for her too but his current situation, he knows he can't provide that. And going further to the future, there will be definitely be a power imbalance not just financially but also the things they want in the future, when that happens.
Then Jiyeon came to him. Despite not sharing about his life, he seemed to have connected with her and her life. He even said himself what matters to him the most is family (Yi Do said it was herself), meanwhile, Jiyeon said she had been doing several things for her family and just now only be able to think of herself. Jiyeon talked about being less travelled as she had lived a hard life. It definitely struck something emotional in him that he started to feel more concern for her. Now playing a devil's advocate, I am not sure how will Jungmok will use Jiyeon's painful past if they started dating in real life but having that piece of information may be used, like for gaslighting.
Although I didn't like him lying to YiDo, (he promised he will focus more on her and him saying he didn't get to choose the secret date), I don't feel like hate is warranted but I agree he lovebombed Yi Do and succeeded with her liking him in return. I just wish he did his confession and those heart warming gestures after he truly knew more about her.
Men cheating with a less attractive women than their wife is nothing new. Like we had this recent news of the married ceo and Hr manager being caught on cam. Social society standard-wise, the wife of the ceo is more attractive and so it is not simply the appearance for him to cheat on her.
Going back, it is indeed a good twist and it made more sense when I remembered the reaction of the sister of the teacher after he told why his wedding was cancelled. I thought she knew of the relationship but is just pretending not to because she likes her husband that much.
Right..sometimes l don't like him honestly ..l don't understand why he always referring everyone as a competitor…
Tbh, I disagree with Jisoo and the panel’s interpretation of how Seungli faired better between her solo dates (lets exclude sangho). Although his playful reaction about her matters on mental health might probably charm and comfort her now but I think in the long run, a partner who takes mental health seriously would be better choice for her (not rooting her with hyunkyu entirely but his reaction for me was better). Anyhow, he comes across as shallow to me and like you said, it is reasonable why most women would not prefer to date him irl. I initially thought his mention of rivalry and competition was a passing joke but when he constantly refer to them as such, I began to surmise he definitely thinks being in a relationship is competition.
I never knew that a dating show would make me cry multiple times in an episode.
Like, how I can relate to the reasons why the cast had a storm of emotions in their respective rooms and how I felt comforted and validated when one member gave a piece of advice to another.
This show started as funny but with these sincere people (most of them), I cant help but in turn, root for them individually and even cherish their peculiarities.
The show is nearly ending and the producers can not stretch the drama of Jimin-Jeyeon. So, I guess now they brought…
Omg, I just rewatched the last part with better subs. It seems Chanhyung is really not that into Chae eun, I think he is just exhausted with his work that's why he seems more lonesome than parting ways(?) with Haneul.

Sangyoon, your intentions of joining is becoming more evident. Like what is that last part, hahaha. It does help painting that picture especially when he brought out that he was still not very keen to marriage from his last relationship, that's why it didn't last. Oh well, on the brighter side, he seems a good catalyst for most couples which is great considering this show's goal is marriage.
Also, it feels refreshing to see Chanhyung have the emotional turmoil which I think affecting him greater, than when Haneul was actively expressing interest with Jimin. He is either smiley most of the time or just exhausted.
(i'm just 32 min in, so only venting about that part😂) what's wrong with WJ, he's saying he doesnt like flashy…
That’s what I thought too. When I was observing him during the sujebi-aglio olio kitchen scene, woojae gives off the energy that he wants to show off to Changhwan. (Ofc it was a teamwork.) It reminded of the menacing look that he had with Jimin after the date in which Jeyeon chose him. It really reflected his competitiveness to prove himself.
This dating show kept me on my toes, like why is this the most unpredictable dating show ever? Just when I thought this couple is kinda secured for the final choosing, some unexpected stuff happens.
I am definitely rooting for Hoam and Yunjeong individually. I want to ship them but I want Yunjeong to be with someone who chose her. I like Hoam too but I just wish he had decided to do the full commitment with Yunjeong instead. (He said that the was a moment wherein he was torn.)
Woah, Jimin is really giving male lead in here. He just gave the Kdrama experience which Jeyeon shared about just briefly after the “incident”.
This is serioulsy probably going to be my number one dating show on my list provided it continues to be this good. I mean, I love how everyone is being proactive in their own way.
I am just curious on Jiwon-Changhyun date on how it affected these two’s choices. I understand Jiwon’s decision, but I wonder how he chose Jiwon over Chaeeun. I felt the latter’s date with him at Italy had more chemistry. Did they cut some parts, or am I just romanticizing the Italy dates? (But I do find them cute huddled by the door while talking to Jimin and Jeyeon), i just need more content(?) I guess.
I think that folks are really getting ahead of themselves with the job reaction stuff -- especially concerning…
I don't think the insecurity is about the money, it is more about achieving the dream they had as a child. He grew with privilege and he seems shaken about the fact he was unable to fulfill the dream despite having the means to achieve it. He trained overseas and was playing until 23 yo. It is clear that he is affected after the job reveal.
This reveal is worth the wait, really. The reactions especially from those of chanhyung and jeyeon is just the best. Watching most of those in the house really fulfilled their dreams makes me feel proud for them.
On the other hand, I also cant help but notice that Woojae felt insecure. It felt like he was also pondering about his choices in life. As his dream as a soccer player had consumed half of his life, changing trajectory would have been a difficult choice for him.
I really enjoyed the dates individually but I like Jiwon and Changhwan the most. It's so movie-like especially that one in the gelateria, I think Jiwon is slowly developing feelings for him knowing he is the owner of the yellow book that she chose. Now knowing that the owner of the book they picked, I think they are mutually interested in each other. I hope their interest will just keep on growing and develop into a relationship even outside the show.

I teared up on the interactions with the patients especially the patient who wants her dressing done 4x a day.
