So episode 8 opens with the girls choosing who to drag to Paradise, and immediately two of them get emotionally rejected like it’s a job interview.
Ye-Jin and Ha-Eun both pick men who are mentally dating other women. I-Geon is busy staring at Go-Eun like she’s a protein shake, and Jae-Jin is spiritually married to Joo-Young. So Ye-Jin and Ha-Eun just… don’t go. Which is brutal. Imagine getting dressed for Paradise and the universe saying, “No ❤️.”
Joo-Young picks Hyun-Jae because she wants to “explore,” which is code for “I already know I like Jae-Jin but I need to pretend I tried.” Go-Eun chooses Hyun-Woo, and Hee-Sun picks Su-Been because she is committed to suffering.
And then… Mina finally chooses Seung-Il.
Which feels less like romance and more like: “Let’s just finish this chapter so I can move on with my life.”
Honestly, I think both of them needed to do it just to clear brain storage. Like deleting old photos from your phone. Except one of them actually cleared it, and the other one just made things messier.
Hyun-Woo in Paradise with Go-Eun is… uncomfortable. This man is OBSESSED. Like, if she sneezes, he’s ready to propose. And she’s just sitting there like, “Wow… chicken is nice.”
The hair tuck? No. That was a boyfriend move on a second date.
She visibly hated it. You could see her soul leave her body for a second. And I wish she had just said, “Hey, don’t touch me like that.” Because now it’s awkward and silent, which is worse. He thought Paradise meant “girlfriend package.” She thought Paradise meant “free food and conversation.”
Spoiler: he did not sway her at all.
Joo-Young and Hyun-Jae also go nowhere. Zero chemistry. They have the vibe of two coworkers trapped in an elevator. She clearly wants Jae-Jin. But I respect her for trying something different instead of emotionally camping.
But the real crime was the DOUBLE DATE.
Why would production send Mina and Seung-Il with Su-Been and Hee-Sun??
Hee-Sun speaks English. She goes to Carnegie Mellon. She’s 2003-born. She is literally six years younger than Mina and acting ten years more mature.
And Mina… is spiraling.
On the helicopter, Mina and Su-Been talk nonstop while Hee-Sun pretends she’s fine like she’s in a shampoo commercial. Then at the bowling alley, Mina keeps peeking out the window to stare at them like a raccoon outside a restaurant.
Girl. Get a grip. You chose Seung-Il. Why are you haunting Su-Been?
Then Seung-Il has to sit her down in their room and basically lecture her. And the wild part? He’s younger than her. That’s humiliating. There was zero romance in that conversation. It was HR disciplinary action.
Back in Inferno, Min-Gee finally confronts Mina. And honestly? Min-Gee was calm, direct, not mean. She just said, “You don’t know what you want.”
And Mina collapses like she just got accused of murder.
She cries, she feels attacked. The judges apologize. The editors sharpen their villain scissors. And suddenly Mina is framed like Regina George on a beach.
And yes, Korean editing is evil. They can turn you into Darth Vader with one slow zoom. But also… Mina, you did say the words.
Then comes the girls’ game. Mina desperately wants to compete with Min-Gee and once again ends up in a trio like the universe is trolling her. She doesn’t even make it to the final. It’s Ye-Jin, Joo-Young, and Min-Gee.
Joo-Young surprises everyone by being fierce. But Min-Gee wins. Of course she does. That woman runs on emotional clarity and leg strength.
And then… Mina apologizes to Su-Been. Honestly, that was the first adult thing she’s done in three episodes.
Now Min-Gee has to choose who to take to Paradise. Seung-Il has basically confessed loyalty to her. She says she’s happiest with him.
So obviously… she chooses Su-Been.
Which is insane. But also smart. She wants to test herself. Like, “Do I miss Seung-Il? Or am I just attached because he chose me?” And turns out, she and Su-Been actually click. They have things in common. He’s not into her yet, but something is brewing.
And yes, they share a bed. On this show. Which is basically marriage.
Meanwhile, Seung-Il is sitting in Inferno like a Victorian child watching his crush dance with another man.
I-Geon is still glued to Go-Eun like a haunted statue. I cannot with him. He gives me the ick. The ice cream scene? Not cute. I felt unsafe emotionally. And Go-Eun saying she’s still into Sung-Min? Honestly, I support that. Sung-Min is bland but harmless. I-Geon feels like he judges your bone structure.
Also Mina suddenly snooping around Sung-Hun’s bed??? Girl. You brother-zoned him DAYS ago. Why are you rummaging through his emotional laundry?
Then comes the boys’ game. Finally a good one. Physical, intense. And of course I-Geon wins because he’s built like a Marvel villain.
He chooses Go-Eun. Again.
Which makes Hyun-Woo the first man in Single’s Inferno history to forfeit Paradise. Hyun-Jae picks Joo-Young again, because at least that man knows what he wants.
Episode 10 ends with I-Geon and Go-Eun in the pool, and he is way too close. Like, sir, personal space exists. Even Da-Hee is like, “He looks ready to jump her.”
And I’m sorry. I’m still icked out. You can fight me.
Final thoughts:
Mina went from main character to cautionary tale. Min-Gee is silently winning. Jae-Jin and Joo-Young feel inevitable. And I-Geon feels like a red flag with abs.
Who’s endgame? My money’s on Jae-Jin and Joo-Young.
And honestly? I just miss Jae-Jin being weird and quiet in the corner. He’s the only man here who isn’t exhausting.
Also, I see some ppl saying that the detective was also at the party, but to me it looks like he’s walking through her version of that night, not literally there.
