I'm guessing, these would be their birthyears: Seoyeon - 1991 → had the typical demeanor of someone born in Year of The Sheep. Huiyeong - 1993 → standard Rooster vibes! A-yo~! (I'm also 32yrs. old hehe) Jin Ah - 1994 → she's giving Dog vibes and I could tell she was slightly younger than me Mirang - 1995 → was quite happy when Dagyo guessed 28. Pretty high chance she's a Pig based on that kinda reaction Riwon - 1998 → At first I thought 97, but she felt more like a Year of The Tiger person. Dagyo - 1999 → her quickness in leaving the 2 alone screams Year of The Rabbit to me... Han Gyeol - 2006 → At first I thought 2005 because she seemed like a young female version of me but then someone said it's confirmed to be '06. Oh well... but if she was born in January then that still makes her a Rooster xD
omg fr i feel so bad for her, is she confirmed to be that young tho i was lowkey hoping she’d be like 21/22…
Right... I was wondering why nobody in the room was pointing out the fact that HanGyeol looked like a teenager/college-freshman. At first glance, I was like "What the hell is a teenager doing in there?!"
but then again, I think Riwon realized she was a teenager around the second half of Episode 2. It was quite funny seeing how Riwon kept pointing out her child-like demeanor/attitude.
I would recommend K-shows then.1. First Love again 2 Edge of friendzone3. Love in the sky4. Heart pairing 5. Couple…
Damn, tried it today but dropped after Episode 1... I kinda see now as to why the others are also saying that this is the worst season.
Personally, I think it's a lot to do with the editing style. This feels more rushed compared to S1,2&3 and there was almost no eye-contact scene which is crucial (I think) for Episode 1s of these kind of shows. The budget also felt pretty small this time around.
I remember the Opening Episodes of the first three seasons being more grand and had more romantic vibes in terms of the edits.
Let's just hope there's more good 'relationship/dating' shows to come this 2025 =))
I just saw the trailer today (didn't know it's been out for a couple months already).
Anyways! I'm hyped because at around 11 seconds in the trailer -- that game looks like the VERY FIRST GAME from the anime original. I was kinda sad when they didn't include it in the live action, more so that it wasn't their first game because that's what actually SET THE TONE of HOW TO SURVIVE in the Borderlands, for me at least.
I felt that the Netflix version's FIRST GAME didn't really capture the essence of the Borderlands..
My close friend and his wife have an age gap of 14 years, and they are happily married with 1 son.
Good for him! what ages are they if you don't mind me asking?
I'm just thinking maybe a 10~20 year age gap seems less when the ages are around 40~59 because life experiences stack much more slowly the older you get but that age gap at 20~39 seems too large since most of your "first times" is bound to happen in your 20s. More often than not, the mental maturity of the younger person is gonna be way below than that of the older one in the relationship.
Daaamn... 15 year age gap... Personally, I'd only go for 4 years older or 8 years younger --anything above or below feels like there'd be some disconnect in terms of 'life experiences' and just general knowledge of things to talk about.
Ideally, the jobs that would fit the most as a "power couple" would be: Lawyer + Doctor Pilot + Engineer Consultant + Strategist ... a Painter + Dancer couple would be nice but this would be the hardest route (if we're looking at this from a 'game' perspective where you choose the difficulty you want to play).
They're probably waiting for ArtOfNegotiation to finish... the only thing "I think" that could prevent this from getting approved as a regular show is if they have something big waiting in line after AoN's finale.
They most likely wouldn't be getting rid of Talk Pawon(currently in the TUE 10PM time slot) just for this... since Talk Pawon is consistently getting around 3% viewership ratings while Knowing Foreign HighSchool's Pilot Eps couldn't even get past 1%.
Anyways, we're just gonna have to wait till April 20 ^_^
what do they mean by catfish, fake housemate, or just a latecomer? and is it an episode a week?
I believe they only explained it in HS1 upon the appearance of the first female latecomer and have never really explained it again since...but basically, they're using the term "Catfish" based on the Norwegian sense -- which is basically a Predator vs Prey thing. It's to keep the contestants motivated instead of getting too comfortable.
and ummm, if you think about it... adding the Catfish too early doesn't really make sense if the goal is to create the "Catfish Effect". I think that's why some commenters are pointing out that the timing is kinda awkward...
If you wanna learn more about it, just google "Norwegian Catfish Effect". ^_^
They mainly just rearranged things—making the first week the 'travel' week instead of the last and introducing the catfish at the start instead of midway. The only real "addition" is the pairing books.
As for the panelist reactions being edited in-scene, I’m not sure what the other commenters are referring to, but I’m quite positive that they’ve been doing that ever since HS1.
Anyways... I like it! Giving it an 8.0 for now just for the production value and OST :)
Don't want to be negative, but ML needs to grow the fck up. He is supposedly 30+ years old?Also his mood swings…
I'm 80-85% sure this show will explore some kind of psychological issue around episode 6 or 7. They've already set up contrasting personality traits between the two male leads -- looked like far ends of the temperamental spectrum too (Male lead being extremely disagreeable and 2nd Male lead being extremely agreeable).., so it seems likely they'll dive deeper into that. Otherwise, why highlight such extreme temperamental differences in a romcom? They usually focus on just one side or stay in the middle (a.k.a. non-offensive zone).
It's quite exaggerated in this show in particular -- I say, let em cook~~
I hate men like SML who are so nice that they give "princess treatment" to everyone. His ex-girlfriend was right…
I mean... guys who treat anyone and everyone "nicely" are almost always on the far end of the "agreeable" side of the temperament spectrum. They almost always never say NO when offered something, whether it be being broken up with or a good time... their goal is to simply make the other person feel comfortable as much as possible -- which CAN backfire sometimes, just like what happened with his now-ex girlfriend.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's quite necessary for the storyline since OTAKUs in general are quite disagreeable and would often say NO, hence the emphasis on the scenes with the coffee and chocolate drinks!
The Korean general public are very much into MBTI these days afaik. hehe
i can take a certain amount of unseriousness but it gets to much. For every geniune and fun scene there are five…
I actually felt like the scenes were quite standard for your typical "Chaebol" romcom. Nothing really felt out of place for me so far (just finished watching Episode 3).
Have you watched Newtopia yet? I feel like you 100% described that show with your comment just now. Hehe
There's only 10 episodes total. When the episodes delayed was happening, for some reason MDL pushed it up to 12…
hmmm, I'm guessing they included the special episode(s) in the count... I only remember watching 1 though... so that'd be total of 11... there's 2 huh? 😅

waiting patiently for Episode 03 ^___^

I can't remember much of the scenes but I do remember enjoying the first 3 seasons but the comments on here keep saying that this one's too boring.
I just finished watching Edge Of Friendzone today. :)
