Blind Spot - TOMO, Wonsik

the episodes of this series should be AT LEAST an hour long... these 20-minute episodes literally felt like 10 mins while watching.. its one of the best kbl - the chemistry and the plot are top tier??? damn!! a 20min episode is a joke and disrespect :(

i just finished the latest episodes, and i honestly couldn't feel any sparkles watching jinwoo and eunchae's date. they were just talking - there was no spark and zero chemistry. i really don't think they like each other or will end up together.
as for the second date between seungho and hyeyeon, i felt like she genuinely likes him. however, i also notice her acting shy and playful with other contestants, so that might just be her personality. still, she definitely seems to like him. i'm not so sure about seungho, though. he had much more visible chemistry with jinwoo. he is way more open with him, and watching them is literally like watching two people fall in love. plus, looking at the preview (not really right word for it) for the next episode, it seems like seungho will be torn between jinwoo and hyeyeon.
meanwhile, heejin is being really attentive around hyeyeon. if you open your eyes, you can clearly see how she shows her attraction to her, but why can't hyeyeon see it? it feels like she really isn't thinking about her anymore.
for now, i'm rooting for jinwoo and seungho, as well as heejin and hyeyeon. it would also be nice if we got a straight couple out of this, like yongkyu and eunchae, but right now i just don't see it. i honestly cannot pinpoint any straight couple this show could successfully make at this point.
to add, the contrast between seungho's dates is wild. with hyeyeon, it feels sweet but a bit reserved, whereas his energy with jinwoo is completely effortless and natural. the upcoming drama between the three of them is going to be intense🤭

my theory is that Si-hyun spent most of the experiment convinced the yellow hearts were from Ji-young, and that probably influenced how he interpreted a lot of their interactions. then the reveal happens and he finds out the yellow hearts were actually from Hyun-jin. his expression didn't look like someone who got bad news tho. It looked more like someone realizing all of his assumptions were wrong. he suddenly become so much more playful and flirty with Hyun-jin at the end. like bitch??? the vibe when they were leaving felt like he didn't want the time together to end.
tbh Si-hyun is kind of messy lol. one thing that bothers me is that he seems pretty easily swayed by whoever he thinks is interested in him. he says he has a type and even talks about wanting an older girlfriend, but his actions don't really match what he says. obviously people can change their minds when they meet someone, but with him it feels like he is still figuring out what he actually wants.

and that's why I think if Si-hyun suddenly becomes very open and flirty with Ji-young from this point, it would honestly feel a little sad for Hyun-jin. not because he's not allowed to like Ji-young (of course he is), but because the timing would feel unfair :/ hyun-jin was quietly showing interest in him, and Si-hyun spent the whole experiment misunderstanding where those signals were coming from. If he now goes all in with Ji-young without really thinking about his feelings, Hyun-jin might end up hurt because she was basically invisible to him until the reveal.

I also think Ji-young is a little dangerous for this dynamic (not in a bad way). she is naturally charismatic and easy to talk to, so I completely understand why Si-hyun would be drawn to her hhehe me too. but the question is whether he likes her because of genuine compatibility or because the connection feels safe.. idk

plus, I don't think he's intentionally trying to hurt anyone, but his uncertainty could hurt someone who is more sincere... and we can literally see in preview tho ((( Si-hyun does have real attraction toward Ji-young right now. and he becomes more open about it because he thinks that’s where his feelings are going. then Hyun-jin notices that and starts protecting herself and pulls back. and
then Si-hyun will feel the distance and suddenly realizes he doesn’t want to lose her attention and will try to get her attention back... that little head tilt at the end of the preview??

ALSO... Charles saying "4 people is the perfect ratio because in other dating shows they only end up focusing on 4 people anyway"??? SHE ATE. literally 😭

i didnt think his questions were bad at all, or that he had a negative impact on Hangyeol or Hyeokjin. on the contrary, the questions he asked were very appropriate and timely; like the questions fit the moment perfectly. It was only after he asked those questions that they realized the true feelings of their significant others. thats why I personally don’t think Sumin’s presence there was bothersome at all.

actually they werent talking about just a tea and the breakfast. she asked - i want to eat ramyun [at his place]. he said - i dont have [that kind of] ramyun. i have cup ramyun, is that okay?. and then she says "i will just go"... translations is incorrect

I dont know, but I see so many red flags. one tells the other that they are 70-80% interested in someone else, and Yunjae cant take the hint that his place isnt in Hyeonjun’s heart. I understand that you liked him from the first sight, but when the person you like so much avoids you and speaks to you in an ambiguous way, and you cant understand what they want, I wouldnt want to start a relationship with such a person at all. also, he gives off an impression as if he's trying to appear 'tooo cute' with his actions, but no - you are a very big red flag. If Seonwuk already occupies 80% of Hyeonjun heart and you know you barely have one week to find a partner/boyfriend or meet a partner you would want to start or continue a relationship with after filming ends, why arent you straightforward??? Its honestly painful to watch Yunjae at this point. he is ignoring every "Red Flag" and every hint HJ drops. his refusal to accept that it wasnt him felt like a tragedy. he is letting his initial attraction blind him to the reality of the situation. ☹

also, I am very heartbroken that Jaeha left the show; if the producers had waited just one more day, Im sure we would have seen Jaeha and Hyeongjun’s date, and their feelings might have changed by 360%. Its just very pointless and unproductive to kick a participant out like this. I understand that producers want more drama, but if they are doing all this for drama, just have a maximum of 8 people and there will be the drama they need without kicking anyone out. It feels like they sacrificed a genuine storyline for a cheap shock factor.

I dont understand Minsung personally either; hes acting as if Hyeongjun is already his boyfriend, based on his behavior or whatever. why was he expecting Hyeongjun to tell him everything and open his heart to a stranger and share personal things? and what if he found out from someone else that they were paired up during previous filming? If their dates or meetings had lasted at least a week and Hyeongjun hadnt said anything, I would understand and agree, but you have known the person for only 2 days -isnt he asking for too much? I am so heartbroken that Jaeha left the show... this show was very important for his coming out, and when you have to leave like this, it really sucks.... also, the rule was to “be proactive or prepare to leave the show” - Jaeha was proactive and had interest in only one person. why was he eliminated? I somehow feel that Jaeha will return... so he can have that last date with Hyeongjun; otherwise, the storyline will just be bizarre... His Man should be creating relationships, not destroying them!

If we look at some of the quieter members who stayed, the rule feels even more unfair. there are members who havent made half the effort Jaeha did, yet they are still in the house. this confirms that the "proactive" rule was likely just a tool for the producers to trim the cast for more "screen-time efficiency" rather than a fair merit-based system.

its honestly exhausting to watch a show that rewards entitlement and mixed signals while punishing genuine effort and honesty. between the producers' toxic manipulation the show is losing its heart and turning into a chaotic mess that cares more about ratings than real human connections.

just one ep for the next week... i just saw the news,,,, i feel like we wont get who will be eliminated next week and it will be just a cliffhanger..

if the elimination is based on a scoring system (1 to 10 points per participant), I am worried that Jaeha or Minseong might end up with the lowest scores. in the last episode, both of their names appeared three times in the "least drawn to" section of the journal, which puts them in a risky position.

on the other hand, Hyeongjun is quite popular (with three people interested in him), so their rivals will likely be chosen strategically. honestly, I keep overthinking it, and I still can't say for sure who will leave... but I have a strong feeling it might be Minseong. Sumin is also a possibility since it seems like no one is really vibing with him right now.

ugh, it’s so tough! I’m just really hoping Jaeha isn’t the one who gets eliminated. huhu :(

there is also a possibility that both Hyeokjin will vote for Yunjae. since they support each other as close friends, they might coordinate their votes to protect their own positions. if that happens, Yunjae could easily become a victim of this elimination round. its all about the numbers, and a solid alliance like theirs is dangerous for everyone else.

but then again, the producers probably won't allow the contestants to discuss who they are voting for. if it actually happens, they would basically have to communicate through telepathy, haha! I honestly can't wait for the next episodes.

by the way, are we getting two episodes again next week, or just one?

rumor says the chess conversation ends badly. Hyeongjun tells Yunjae they are just friends, and afterward, Yunjae gets eliminated... oh man

I agree with you that 7 days is way too short for introverts, and id love for them to be endgame too. but my criticism of HJ isnt about him 'exploring options' - that's totally fine. my issue is with how hes doing it. you can be reserved and still be transparent. there is a fine line between taking your time and being intentionally cryptic for the sake of drama.
afor YJ, I agree he needs to be more proactive, but its hard to be direct when the other person is giving off such mixed signals. I really hope that 1-on-1 talk clears things up, because right now it feels like HJ is enjoying the chase a bit too much. lets hope the chess scene actually leads to some real communication... im not shipping them tho for the sake of it. I just want to see YJ’s genuine energy matched with some actual transparency instead of mixed signals :(

they only have 7 days total to find a match and we are already halfway through, so every hour counts. its not about how many days they’ve known each other; its about intent. you can 'get a feel' for people without being intentionally vague or giving false hope. having multiple options isnt a license to play mind games. if he’s still playing the 'it’s a secret' card while milking the attention for the cameras, its clearly about ego and screen time, not genuine dating. you dont need a week to show basic honesty to someone who’s clearly invested in you. its a dating show, not an audition for a mystery drama.

its not babying, it’s calling out bad manners. sure, he can stand up for himself, but that doesn't make the others' behavior any less trashy. being genuine and 'haha-ing' is just his personality, not a lack of effort. he shouldn't have to turn into a jerk just to deal with people who are clearly threatened by him. id rather see him stay genuine than sink to their level, though I agree he needs to step up if he wants to win over the mess that is this house lol.

you clearly missed the entire point of my post. Its not about 'forcing' feelings. its about basic respect and transparency. if you cant see the manipulation in stringing someone along for screen time, then maybe you’re the one who’s 'delusional.' also, don't tell me to 'chill' when the show is literally designed for us to have opinions on these dynamics. if you want to watch people just 'existing' without any emotional stakes, go watch a documentary about grass growing

move on from what? he is head over heels in love with Hyeongjun. hes not even here to find a new spark. he’s here to finally come out and be honest about his feelings toward hyeongjun. he still loves him, so why should he move on?

I dont think anyone other than Hyeongjun voted him off. there is no reason for the others to eliminate him.

can we talk about the absolute audacity of the people coming for Yunjae? this poor guy has like 2 enemies in the house already, and they’re talking down to him like he’s a fucking child - having two people act like his ‘enemies’ and treating him with that level of condescension is fucking disgusting. “Go change your clothes”? who the hell do you think you are? the pettiness and the weird, undermining vibes are off the charts. they are clearly threatened by him and it shows so hard - it’s like they’re trying to knock him down or some shit right from the start, and it pisses me off because Yunjae seems so genuine, so cute, so real. he doesn’t deserve that toxic energy thrown at him the second he walks in.

and Hyeonjun - i am so fucking done with him. what the actual fuck is his deal? he is the definition of a clout chaser, just there taking up space, riding the wave of exposure without any real intention, acting all mysterious like he’s the lead in some K-drama when in reality he’s just being a straight-up coward. npc energy. he is just… there, existing, not committing to a single damn thing. like, dude, if you’re the man and you know someone like Yunjae is clearly head-over-heels for you, grow a pair and open your flicking mouth already. tell him straight up: “You know, I dont like you and I dont have romantic feelings for you.” stop feeding the cutest man in the house breadcrumbs, stop stringing him along with false hope just to keep your screen time up. its manipulative as hell, it’s low, it’s cruel as fuck, and it’s making me rage. that “It’s a secret” bullshit in the preview? I bet the question was “Who do you actually like here?” or “Do you have feelings for Yunjae?” or something along those lines - that’s exactly why Yunjae had that shocked, hurt reaction. Hyeonjun can’t answer because the real answer is “Nobody, I just like the attention.” hes playing games, and it’s pure bullshit. :)

my heart is literally bleeding for Jaeha. ooh man, it’s fucking hurting so bad watching him. It is painfully obvious that he agreed to this reshoot because this is his ONLY safe way, his only real chance to come out to his parents. coming out to parents is the hardest shit ever - carrying the weight of your entire family’s reaction on your shoulders, doing it in front of cameras no less. telling them face-to-face would be a nightmare, especially if they’re homophobic or something - he probably knows exactly how they’d react and blow up, so using the show as a buffer makes total sense, even if it’s risky and heartbreaking. its brave as hell.

and then there’s Hyeongjun. why are you even here? you knew Jaeha would be in the reshoot. you knew Jaeha still loved you, still has deep feelings for you. you knew how much power you have over his heart, and you still decided to show up. coming back when you have no intention of fixing things, no intention of reciprocating, is just straight-up cruel. its not “complicated,” its selfish. It is like watching a cat play with a mouse before killing it - twisting the knife deeper for no reason other than your own ego or whatever the hell is going on in your head. they didn’t separate because Hyeongjun doesn’t love him anymore… so why show up and do this? closure? guilt? unresolved feelings? i don’t know, but it makes the whole thing heavier.
I wish the absolute best to Jaeha - he deserves someone who actually reciprocates, who doesn’t fuck with his head and heart like this. hang in there, king. you are stronger than all this bullshit combined.

the rest of the contestants? some of them are just background noise, checking their reflection and waiting for their Instagram followers to go up. this isn't a game for people like Jaeha - its his actual life and his actual pain. for example, if you are there to promote your brand or play mind games with people’s hearts, get the fuck out.

this season is already a rollercoaster of frustration, mind games, and unresolved pain... I need these boys to start having real, honest conversations instead of all this passive-aggressive, clout-chasing nonsense.
but seriously… communication would fix like 70% of the problems here.

I haven't watched the series yet, but I wanted to share my take on this premise.

the central question of Bloody Flower - whether ugyeom is a killer or a savior - is only a 'debate' for those who aren't the victims. its easy for the public to play God and say, 'Let him kill one to save five,' because they are looking at numbers, not people.
BUT through the lens of reality, that logic falls apart. if this man kidnapped and murdered your sibling, parent, or best friend for his 'experiments,' nobody would be calling him a savior. you simply cannot support a 'cure' built on the screams of the innocent.
by demanding immunity, he isn't trying to save mankind - he’s holding the world hostage with his ego. a true breakthrough shouldn't require a pile of bodies and a get-out-of-jail-free card. justice shouldn't be traded for technology. in my eyes, he’s just a murderer who found a clever way to blackmail humanity.

the dilemma: medical progress is built on ethics (the Nuremberg Code exists for this exact reason). if we allow one person to decide who is 'expendable,' we destroy the very 'humanity' he claims to be saving. like, if he actually cared, he would share the tech and accept his punishment, right?? the fact that he threatens to take the secrets to his grave proves it’s about power, not healing.

for example, if a father saves his daughter using a cure that required the murder of another child, can that daughter ever live a happy life? the 'cure' becomes a lifelong trauma. he wants us to focus on 'statistical thousands' so we forget the 'identifiable victims' he tortured. It’s a classic manipulation tactic.

in short: he’s not a hero, he’s a murderer holding the world hostage. a 'miracle' built on a graveyard isn't a miracle at all.

i flicking love tragic movies/series... i havent cried but it is heartbreaking story with good acting! recommended 10/10!.

i believe her friend took all down but she kept drawing him...
