Tbh, I really enjoyed watching this show every Saturday (since it's my designated time to watch over dinner after it airs on Friday). It has accompanied me for many weeks and I'm so glad to watch it every week.
Appreciated yoonha helping jungsub and seseung clear up their misunderstanding. Their railway hug was really sweet. That moment, I felt that seseung's smile shone so brightly and I really liked seeing her super glowing radiant smile ;)
She and chulhyun are so sweet together when they smile in that way like they really just get each other. I think they can be considered "soulmates" who can relate well to the other.
Appreciated seeing the closures some of them had (juyeon, jaehyung, choa, chulhyun) Kinda didn't want jiwon to choose yongwoo but she did.
Yoonha and yoonjae being the last couple that lasted is really cute to see. Props to yoonjae for all his efforts.
Overall, nice to see all of them form bonds tgt as friends and family in the siblings-like way. The earlier eps were really quite heartwarming in a homey way which was the distinct part of this dating show compared to the other dating shows. Those moments were hilarious, raw and endearing. It's good to see them talk about the stuff they learnt and how they grew or changed. They are all not without flaws and it's good to see the realisations from the show and how they'd want to improve.
I think the whole journey and process throughout the course of the 3 weeks was really meaningful and precious. Being present too in the moment is beautiful <3
(I feel like even if there's a new season to this show, the cast from this first season will have a fonder place in my heart. The panelists were also decent and funny. Looking forward to their reactions in the behind the scenes!)
This show was simple, short and sweet. Loved the letter Ha Joon wrote to Maya which summed up all the opening narrations he said. He's a very sincere person. Also am glad Maya found her confidence at the end + Stella was such a loyal friend. Enjoyed watching this show <3
You conveyed it beautifully and said it much more better than me. I only have problem with the way Jae Hyung talked…
Thank you! I don't appreciate hateful comments towards the participants despite understanding the frustrations coming from watching some of their actions. I prefer looking from an outward or more objective perspective.
And honestly I felt bad for juyeon too. She was very courageous and unwavering despite her attraction being one-sided the whole way. Not many would act the way she did whilst remaining cool. That was really a painful process for her from the start. But she'll leave without regrets knowing she tried her best
Just my own personal thoughts after watching ep 14:
I usually watch dating shows casually for the romance and to see how people socialise and interact with one another. This is the first time I think I was properly immersed in the participants and relationships they've formed with one another instead of watching for the romance. (Esp since the sibling concept was refreshing. Earlier episodes were honestly more heartwarming tbh)
In fact, I enjoy watching the participants' conversations and the little things in action they do for one another better than the actual dates itself. We can really learn more about someone through proper conversation and that's what I liked best from watching this show since it doesn't cut much of their talks. Those are the most interesting parts for me even if many viewers may find those bland or boring.
This episode left me feeling bittersweet. I cried when ChoA and Yongwoo's flashback of moments from the earlier episodes played, when ChoA asked Yongwoo if his heart ever fluttered when he was with her - because it felt like the feelings were mutual then.
I enjoyed Jaehyung's honesty to Juyeon a lot and Yoonjae's cooking for everyone. ChoA, Jaehyung and Yoonjae's friendship was also honestly so nice to see.
As I watch the show, the more I realise that we as viewers cannot judge the characters much. Because humans are really really such flawed creatures and the human mind is very complex. Everyone falls short some way or another. Only the participants themselves will know what they're truly thinking/feeling deep down.
Addtionally, every word, action and feeling can be interpreted in very different ways. Despite all participants sharing the same mbti, their personalities and character traits are actually very different. It's honestly really difficult to get to know someone well from a show and from it, make that final decision.
Watching the show and decisions made can be frustrating and confusing a lot. The partcipants are in a state where they constantly think and question themself especially with the time limit at hand. The show setting is also different from irl. There are so many different things to think about and consider.
But funnily, what I've realised from this is that living and focusing on the present is so important. Much more important compared to the past, even though the past is definitely beautiful and meaningful in many ways too. The present for me feels the most meaningful and precious somehow. So, I liked what Yoonjae said to Sesung at the staircase.
Overall, I really can't predict the ending outcome, but still looking forward to seeing how all the secret dates and final couples in the last episode turn out.

And can I just say again that I'M IN LOVE with the opening song?!
