Can you please tell me what foing 'makjang' means? Does it mean something like Soap Opera type or Thai Lakorn…
bingo! it means exactly that. the korean version of a soap opera, like The Penthouse, The World of the Married, Sky Castle and more. Think evil twins, reincarnations, long lost siblings and revenge!
I'm curious, what made you think sanghyeon is competitive? Was it any specific action or his approach to "courting"…
This tracks and thanks for explaining your thought process. I'm leaning towards he liked bonhee and it has to do with the competition but not exactly: he "pursued" her despite knowing she would most likely choose mujin and he seemed the most charmed he's ever looked during their date. on the other hand, if he was thinking about the whole game as a competition, he would have chosen sohyun sooner since he was her only choice and she made her preference pretty clear. That's why I was so buffled by his behaviour; if he wanted to win the Game, he would have paired up with sohyun, if he wanted to win bonhee, he would have made an effort. He did neither, which made for great tv, but so inconsistent.
Also, it surprises me that all he talked to bonhee about was that he wanted to date her. He didn't ask a single question about her (at least in what we were shown), how do you like someone while only talking about your relationship shortcomings? The overthinking vs lack of proactivity you mentioned is a very good point and perfectly illustrates why it took him so long.
And personally, I don't think there's anything to his relationship with sohyun in the real world. I don't see it. She's open, direct and vibrant and I would think she'd want someone to match these traits. Am I wrong? I've watched it twice and the more I observe (while ignoring the imposed production notes) the less I believe this pair.
Im on episode 8, this is the first time i have ever watched a dating reality show; im really liking this one.…
