Counting days…😆😆😆

It’s so hard to move on from this drama. Every time I watch any new costume drama, I’m reminded of LITC and I’ll be rewatching this drama again.

He’s really funny in The Secret Friends Club. We can see how childish and reckless he could be, showing his true Gen Z age hahaha

It’s getting better and better. I love most of the characters in this drama, they’re all soft, gentle and kind. It’s a warm drama

Thank youuu but it’s cut and compressed version 😩but I guess this is better than nothing. They didn’t even have subtitle for ep 3&4 but thank God I can understand Korean.

I think you’re missing the point why some people hate Mina Sue. They didn’t hate her because she pursued different guys and kept her options open, it’s her behavior on how she acted on it. She wanted to explore but blantly said she’s annoyed at Su Been for wanting to get to know Hee Sun and she said it multiple times. If she could explore her options, why was she mad at Su Been for doing the same thing? Su Been wasn’t even on her top list when she gave chocolates to other guys, picked Sung Min for paradise date and then picked Seung Il as her no1 pick when Su Been already picked her as his no1. From SB’s pov, she kinda humiliated him during the campfire for dismissing his feelings. That’s why the panelist said she’s the worse because she wanted to explore but mad at Su Been for exploring and when Su Been called her out only then she realized and said that both of them can explore others.

She also then went on saying to Sung Hun that the girls didn’t care about her at all when she’s “nice” to them, lend them bikinis and implying as if they (Min Gee & Hee Sun) didn’t allow her to talk to the men they’re interested in when they didn’t even stop her for doing so. Min Gee did say to her that she can talk to Seung Il and she’s trying her best too, so Mina Sue can do whatever she wants, it’s herself that said she didn’t like Seung Il and treated him as friends, so it’s confusing to the girls as well when she’s not being honest with her feelings.

When Su Been ignored her and gave his attention to Hee Sun, she said in the interview that she felt pathetic and she didn’t like being seen as pathetic woman when no one said anything to her 😅 She’s the one who didn’t reciprocate Su Been’s feelings then she didn’t like that Su Been gave his attention to Hee Sun and thought that people would perceive her as pathetic? From here we know that she thinks negatively of what others perceive her when they didn’t even think that way.

She’s also rude to Hyun Jae one time when they’re in group setting saying “what’s wrong with him” and he’s cringe, kinda putting him on the spot and shame, then Su Been quickly asked Joo Young how she felt about it and JY replied that she’s okay and feel good about it.

Viewers have discussed this alot during airing and no, they didn’t hate her because of her exploring options, they hated her behavior. And after finishing the show and watched the reunion, some already moved on and some still found the hint of her having bad behavior as she’s not really sorry about what she did, she’s sorry because she got caught in action and she thought that they wouldn’t air it if she spoke in English. So it’s intentional those things she said to Sung Hun.

where can international fan watch this show?

When producers said the success of this season is due to Choi Mina Sue, it seems like they really try to gaslight us that their editing is right and ignore the feedback of viewers who were frustrated with the editing and imbalanced screen time. We will never get what we want: the friendship bond, the couples formed and balanced screentime, as they always go for drama and chaos. I have no hope for S6 if this kind of shitty and evil editing stay.

I didn’t want to watch this season at first because I thought it’d be the same old same old models/influencer who just came here for fame and exposure, but it’s the clip of Min Gee’s pulling Seung Il’s hoodie saying “you you you” brought me to give this season a chance. Many people on the internet said so, that they got intrigued to the show by that clip that went viral.

Yes, CMS made this season more interesting with her antics, there’s no denial that the drama made buzz for this show. It’s fun at first, but honestly, that’s it. Her repetitive conversation with Sung Hun at night talking about “are we friends or not” was so so boring and her bringing up Su Been every single time she talked to someone was so tiring to watch. I also don’t get the point of including her interview pov even for the scene that is not related to her directly like for the guys’ game. Her dates on the last 2 episodes with Sung Hun in inferno are also boring.

Instead of embracing the real couples formed (JJxJY & HSxSB) and friendship, the producers pushed too much on the drama and chaos that some couples or friendship got sidelined. They made a wrong move again, they thought people would stay invested with CMS as the MC of the show, but majority of fans love Min Gee, Go Eun and Hee Sun instead. We could see that they’re the real powerhouse of the show that they could gain 1M+ followers on IG after the show ended, while CMS and other girls didn’t.

The effect of Go Eun’s short hair style on the internet? And her viral lines “what do you think?” “should I come or not”?
The effect of Min Gee as noona and lots of cute guys said that they would want to be with her if Seung Il didn’t? And her viral “you, you, you”?
The effect of Hee Sun & Su Been couple that majority of people love and support them? Even to the point that cnetz and knetz are so ready to defend this baby princess.

Oh Netflix and PDs, you guys fumbled so hard. You should thank other casts for still keeping in touch and gave us the glimpse of their friendship bond that you took it away from us.

I cannot rewatch my guilty pleasure drama anymore. I cannot find it anywhere 😭

I know they didn’t show the result of the red & gold chocolates in ep 3, but here is my guess after rewatching ep 3.
# - confirmed by obvious interaction or interview
* - my guess based on the crumbs we could see in group setting

Subeen - 1 red (#Heesun)
Heesun - 1 gold (#Su Been)
Jae Jin - 1 red (#Joo Young) 2 gold (#Heesun, *Ye Jin)
Hyun Woo - 3 gold (#Joo Young, #Go Eun, *Min Gee)
Go Eun - 2 red (#Sung Min,*Sung Hun) 2 gold (#Hyun Woo, *Jae Jin)
Sung Min - 1 red (#Go Eun) 1 gold (*Mina Sue)
Mina Sue - 1 red (#Su Been) 1 gold (#Seung Il)
Sung Hun - 1 red (#Mina Sue)
Ye Jin - 1 gold (*Sung Hun)
Seung Il - 1 red (#Min Gee)
Min Gee - 2 red (#Seung Il, *Hyun Woo) 1 gold (*Hyun Jae)
Hyun Jae - 1 red (*Ye Jin)
Joo Young - 2 red (#Jae Jin, #Hyun Jae) 1 gold (*Sung Min)

* explanation:
- Mina Sue gave gold choc to Sung Min as she’s curious about him after the photoshoot. We know that she gave red choc to Sung Hun Both Su Been & Seung Il didn’t get any extra chocolates.
- Hyun Jae gave gold choc to Min Gee, we could see one second clip when Joo Young walking towards Jae Jin, they’re holding hands.
- Hyun Woo gave gold choc to Go Eun and red choc to Min Gee as Min Gee was top1 on his card and Go Eun was no2.
- Jae Jin gave Go Eun gold choc after the photoshoot as they grew closer.
- Ye Jin gave red choc to Hyun Jae as she’s interested in him, my guess probably when they stayed in inferno and she chose him for the photoshoot. Ye Jin also told in recent interview that she talked to Hyun Jae but he’s set with Joo Young, so it didn’t work out for her.
- Sung Hun said he didn’t give any chocolate to Mina Sue. He gave gold choc to Ye Jin, we could see that they’re holding hands when Mina walked to Seung Il. I think he gave to Go Eun as she has extra red chocolate. Maybe they did talk, but production didn’t show it which is they seemed like close friends when they met in NYC recently though there’s zero interaction shown in the episodes.
- Min Gee gave gold choc to Hyun Woo as he’s the only guy with extra gold choc, probably she’s curious about him since he did try to talk to her few times.
- Sung Min is the mysterious one that we didn’t know who he’s curious about other than Go Eun, but only Joo Young has extra gold choc that is not confirmed, so I think hers one is from Sung Min.

Rewatching sometimes can be fun especially if you know the outcome and the casts’ personality. It’s also fun when you started to notice things that you weren’t aware when you first watched it.

Ep 1 on popularity vote.

Kim Min Gee got 2 votes from Hyun Woo & Seung Il, that’s why only these two interviews shown. We all knew Sung Min voted for Go Eun since he told her after the dodgeball game. My guess is Jae Jin voted for Ye Jin and Hyun Jae voted for Hee Sun.

Jae Jin got 2 votes from Ye Jin and Go Eun. Again, only these two interviews shown. My guess is Min Gee voted for Sung Min (she found him cute and he sat next to her during lunch) and Hee Sun voted for Hyun Jae (they’re always together in the beginning that caused me having ghost ship) 😆😆

Counting days 🙇🏻‍♀️

Amazing castings, amazing storyline, amazing acting from all the casts, and amazing visuals. Love it! It feels so short like I’d been waiting for this drama to release and now it’s over? I’m gonna miss this hotpot couple so much. 🫶🏻

The concept of Zhang San waited 10 years+ for Cui Hua irl…

Nah, I was just stating the scene in reunion episodes and find them cute. If they date irl, good for them, if not, then up to them?

I’ve never pushed the idea of what’s best for the cast throughout the show as if I know them personally.

I guess I need to rewatch to understand this part and how this part fit into the narrative and timeline because yeah they did mention that Mok Ga Hui identity is also fake, the real face of Mok Ga Hui from the notice is different person.

The male corpse wasn’t identified. They thought it’s Kim Ji Hwon, the gigolo but turned out he’s very much alive and became junkie.

Whoever she chooses to date, it’s her choice. It’s not our place to say if she should explore the relationship or let him go. ✌🏼

Thank you so much for taking time to explain the inside joke in China. You’re the best!

What’s so funny about Wang Cuihua name? What does it mean? I’ve been searching if anyone explains this, but people just posted the video of them laughing without explaining it 🙃

Rewatching the reunion for I Geon x Go Eun scenes again, because I’ve rewatched HeeBeen scenes multiple times. I noticed that I Geon said he likes Go Eun multiple times, that guy was basically expressing his feelings a lot after he watched the screening seeing Go Eun felt that he didn’t express it. When they both had eye contact during the watch, he basically glitch for a while and said “it’s been a long time” then during the dinner he told her his heart skipped during the eye contact in the helicopter. He also told Go Eun during their one on one in the meeting room that he’s a simple guy and whatever he said, she should take it as it is, don’t try to overthink it and reminds her many times.

I’m glad that the writer is supportive of this couple and ask him to come to the screening to watch it himself when he almost didn’t want to come. If they really date, I wish the best of them because both of their eyes really have heart emoticon when they stared at each other.

The unreleased clip of their reunion dinner is so cuteeee. The way he wanted Go Eun’s attention by asking her to open the bottle for him, he’s such a loser. 😆😆😆 I get that he’s INTP and she’s ISTP, they only have difference of N & S, it makes sense that he thought it’s figurative speech when she said if she should come to him or not, but she said it’s literally as in physical. As N myself, I had the same thought as I Geon 😂😂😂
