All I have to say is, Sumin read the room. Jeezus. I know that his date with Sunwook was his sort of good bye…
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.
What you didn't quite understand is that ML asks FL to come over and have a good time with his fellow students.…
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.
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?
Chill thy just met no one is head over heal 😂 if u think like that there are 2 head over heal from first shoot…
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 :(
Chill thy just met no one is head over heal 😂 if u think like that there are 2 head over heal from first shoot…
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.
The only thing i liked here is your take on Jae Ha. I feel so bad dir him.YJ is not a chilld. If someone tells…
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.
Chill thy just met no one is head over heal 😂 if u think like that there are 2 head over heal from first shoot…
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
Min Sung and Hyeong Jun are really cuteeee, and Jea Ha is a bit annoying...if he can't move on from his old relationship,…
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?
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 really enjoyed this season. each person is different with unique personalities, but they all seem like genuinely good people - at least from what I saw. one thing I have to say, though, is that the editor should be changed first of all. I understand that filming is 24/7 for two months and they have a lot of footage, so editing must be difficult. but it would be much better if we could clearly see how things develop within the inner circle or inside the house where they live under one roof. It would be nice if they showed everything, even if it meant having two-hour episodes and releasing two episodes per week. why do we have to find out only in the last episode why Bomi was jealous or of whom? when watching these episodes, it sometimes makes you question the reality of their feelings or their “friendships.” also, I would really appreciate it if, in the next season, they didn’t focus only on one couple and instead gave everyone equal screen time. even if there is no romance at a certain moment, I would still like to see their interactions and the process of getting into a relationship.
does anyone know why they decided to do a reshoot or are they gonna tell us later...
one of the og/previous cast member did something problematic which resulted in the whole show being scrapped. it was an unavoidable controversy so the previous footage could not be used. from my guess, he was one of the main participant - editing him out would have been very weird and awkward. maybe he ended up as a couple with someone else and removing his scenes would have meant deleting his partner's scenes too. so the production team called previous participants and asked if they wanted to appear in the reshoot. we do not know who the problematic member was. (he is not appearing in this season)
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.
