Just finished the first episode and it's not looking good. The medical in the title is only for name, the medical portrayal is not accurate in the least. A painful watch, I'm gonna have to drop cause even tho I like the cast, I can already sense that it's going to be heavier on the melodramatics and there's going to be close to zero credibility in the medical aspect which is not my cup of tea. But whatever I saw, was unprofessional and unrealistic on so many fronts, not to mention a strong ground to get your medical license cancelled. Like you CANNOT just brute force your way through a surgery and refuse help and say "NO! I can do it!" even though you genuinely are unable to. You're putting the patient's life at risk. And ofc, the elephant in the room, the chief allowing a foreign surgeon to perform surgery in HIS hospital with NO verifications whatsoever. Dude NO. If this was real life, there'd be such serious consequences. The board members would flip tf out.
Mu Jin is one brave and fearless mfer. Like holy- A RING?!?!? RING?!??! The most I would've dared would be a necklace cause it's only been four days but I also get that there are instances where you meet someone that you like so much that you would even go as far as to imagine yourself marrying them on the spot š
Yes I'm yapping quite a bit but eh, I'm too invested.
Ye Eun's only problem is that she switches between excited and depressed way too quickly and at random. She has no emotional stability, and her unpredictable nature where she's elated one second and grim the next almost comes across as if she has bipolar disorder (or maybe she's just really spoiled? Plus with her job being on the stage, her dramatics are really either at the highest peaks or lowest valleys. Perks of being in the entertainment industry ig) Her mood swings are too great and too intense. She's like the wings of a helicopter, even the tiniest disturbance or change will make her go completely out of a control. Her emotional baggage is too great and the rollercoaster of emotions she puts the other person through by going silent all of a sudden over the tiniest thing she finds unpleasant makes it so awkward and puts them into a tight spot. And no one really wants to experience that. She acts a lot like a school girl. And the ppl here are the ones who signed up for older women who are mature and who they could feel comfortable around and rely on, not a land mine that they have to carefully toe around to avoid detonating.
Sang Hyeon really has no tact oml. He's so petty that it's unattractive š He acts like he's walked through life with his eyes closed and has never had to read the room or people in his entire life. The one line he uses the most and I absolutely HATE "Of course it bothers me." LIKE BOY IF IT BOTHERS YOU THAT MUCH THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. DON'T JUST WHINE LIKE A 2 YR OLD! Stop sitting on your hands and GET UP! AND WHERE IS YOUR NUNCHI??!?!? Like bro, even Ji Yung who came in later realized that Bon Hee had no interest in others and was drawn to Mu Jin. Learn to take a hint??? You let it get so far and are only now waking up and deciding to take action. It's only going to mess things up. And how are you so oblivious and selfish to believe that you can just tell someone to "back off" and let you go at your snail-like pace just because you like the same person??? How sheltered exactly are you š Mu Jin my boy, don't give an inch, you hear me?!?!? Go be with your person and keep showing up and letting Bon Hee know how much you like her instead of sitting on the sidelines and magically hoping she gets you message telepathically that you like her.
Istg, Sang Hyeon's the one that pisses me off the most in this show. (Yes even more than Sang Won bc no matter how odd his approach might be, at least he TRIES. Ignoring the fact that most times it ends up making things worse but STILL. He gets up and gets on with it!)
So Hyun is pretty chill, I like her. She's really proactive but also laid-back at the same time. This is how I imagined the older women in the show would be like. And the fact that she's interested in Sang Hyeon š¤
Like YES PLEASE! Take him away from being all depressed and miserable, hovering around Mu Jin and Bon Hee all the time š
I feel like the 12 year age gap the show mentions is between Mu Jin and Bon Hee.
I keep going back to the number 37 and 38 for Bon Hee's age for some reason and with that 12 year age gap factored, Mu Jin would have to be around 25/26. Plus from his childhood photo, he does look to be about 9 or 10 in it. Ji Yung looks to be about 24/25 tho so he could be the potential outlier as the other men all seem older than 27 to me.
As for any hurdles or doubts that Bon Hee might have in regards to age gaps in a relationship, I don't think there would arise such a situation. She's pretty secure in herself and is already aware of the fact that she's much older than the male contestants and has mentioned as such during conversations. She didn't look to be put off by the age factor and continued to express her interest in Mu Jin instead of shying from it. But once their ages are revealed, Mu Jin might end up getting a little flustered since he thinks Bon Hee looks quite close to him in age but then again, he did see Bon Hee's photo from 2004 so from that he should have an idea that she is in fact, much much older than what he might've expected. At least by about 8 years. The photo might've even given him time to process their age gap actually. Regardless of whether he gets flustered or not, I'm sure he likes her enough and is secure in their feelings for each other that he'll come around fairly quickly.
I love how the show and the contestants never really go in the direction you expect them to. People are messy and unpredictable and this show highlights exactly that lol. Unexpected and intriguing every step of the way, we have plot twists and eyebrow raising moments more often than not. I'm laughing, I'm seething and I'm shaking my head, screaming "NO! THAT'S SO CRINGE! Please stop it, for the love of God!" at my laptop. I empathize with the contestants but I also feel like reaching through the screen to shake them awake and slap some sense into them.
Ji Won my girl- š Baby that's too much TMI. That's not something you bring up on a date let alone on a whole reality TV dating show that's getting broadcasted internationally. It just turned the whole atmosphere awkward and embarrassing for the both of you š
Like I love you, but you really do need to work on holding back on the deets some times š„²
Lmao, I was wrong about most of their job occupations but at least I got 2.5 right.
I was only able to get the obvious ones such as Ye Eun being a ballet dancer, Hyeon Joon being a chef. Bon Hee's interest in photography was quite apparent too and I guessed she'd be in something related to it but more on the fashion side like a stylist.
Mu Jin and Sang Hyeon were both a complete surprise. Kind of disappointed in myself for not guessing that Sang Won would be in the medical field after taking note of his ginormous ego š
Yeong Kyeong and Ji Won also seem like such a good fit in their respective professions, can't believe I didn't catch on š
The show's pretty entertaining so far. You can definitely feel the generational gap at times which is cute and…
Now for the new guy that's set to make an appearance next episode. I AM SO READY
He looks to be more proactive and I feel like Ji Won is going to be drawn to him quite a bit. It's going to get so fun when the new male cast is going to start pursuing all the female contestants as they watch. It's going to stir feelings, get messy, become competitive and so so entertaining š
The show's pretty entertaining so far. You can definitely feel the generational gap at times which is cute and a little awkward lol.
Hyeon Joon MY MAN you could've saved the moment with "The Classic" by saying, "why don't we watch it together some time?" š RIDE THE TIDES, COME ON
As of now, my favorite pairings are Mu Jin and Bon Hee, and Hyeon Joon and Yeong Kyeong.
Sang Won and Ye Eun are off my radar after that disastrous date they had. Yikes. I could barely breathe through the smog that seemed to perpetually surround them at that restaurant table š¬ Ye Eun at times, comes off as ingenuine. Like girl, that was your first date together, you have no right to act THAT upset over what Sang Won said. Sang Won on the other hand is a bit blunt with his words and just happens to say the wrong things at the wrong times. He really needs to brush up on his nunchi š
If I were to make a guess on what the female contestant's ages and careers are off of first impressions and my…
As for the guys, none of them really strike me to be older than 27 but then again, a man never really grows up is a saying for a reason so I could be totally fooled.
Sang Won - (eldest) 29 (a model of sorts? That big of an ego only comes with a job like that.) (idk, he just gives me older person vibes who's a bit stuck up and doesn't really know how to talk to women. Boy, your mouth is gonna get you in trouble real soon... Oh, and also, he has a Benz of his own.)
Hyeon Joon - 27 (He's probably a chef) (He gives off very calm and stable vibes, seems a bit more experienced and comfortable than the other 50%)
Sang Hyeon - (definitely the youngest) - 23 (He seems like he hasn't really ventured off into the world yet so he might still be looking for a job? Maybe pursuing a degree in University. But, hmmm, maybe a florist or a writer? Since he thinks so deeply about everything.) (he's just a scared little puppy that keeps cowering away into a corner for the most part š)
Now I have to wait a whole day even for the raws š„²
Hard pass.
A RING?!?!? RING?!??!
The most I would've dared would be a necklace cause it's only been four days but I also get that there are instances where you meet someone that you like so much that you would even go as far as to imagine yourself marrying them on the spot š
I'M SO SAT
He's one of those ppl that gets less and less attractive the more he opens his mouth š
They fit so well together! They're my next fave pick after Bon Hee and Mu Jin!
Ye Eun's only problem is that she switches between excited and depressed way too quickly and at random. She has no emotional stability, and her unpredictable nature where she's elated one second and grim the next almost comes across as if she has bipolar disorder (or maybe she's just really spoiled?

Mu Jin - 24 (Uni graduate, maybe works in a job related to graphic designing? But he could alsbe a sports model idk) (My dark horse, MY BOY. He's such a go-getter and a charmer. He's not awkward and has his eyes saved for Bon Hee ONLY which ughhhh has me weak in the knees š©. Anyhow, based off of his and Bon Hee's conversation in the bus, I could gather that he was probably in his mid 20s)
