On Ep 10 - honestly, I was (am?) rooting for Bonhee-Mujin to be endgame. But then I saw the Daytime date of So…
I think you spotted something meaninful here. He had a deeper, and more vulverable conversation with So Hyun at the couch scene. But I think it's exactly because he doesn't see her as a romantic option for himself. You know how you can say anything to a friend and not worry about how they see you? On the other hand, when you're flirting with someone you put out your best food forward, and you reveal more as the intimacy deepens. I don't know them personally and we are only watching what we are shown, but this is how I interpreted it.
Having said that, I would wish for a new, more interested crop of men for our girl So Hyun; she's amazing! Accomplished, socially aware, playful and a great person to have around. She made friends but the romantic options were not up to par with her.
Looking forward to the last episode to see if I'm proven right!
She's not clicking with anyone romantically, but Yeong Gyeong, the dentist/SNU alumni/ worldwide volunteer is such an interesting contestant. She wants to learn about the people she's meeting in a deep way and her views on marriage were very well-though out. Plus she's an empathetic person and good friend.
Why is this so boring? All the international intrugue amounts to nothing but filler scenes with overpaid extras. This story would lend itself better to a movie.
Hye-jin’s story isn’t just a quiet critique—it’s a rebellion against the suffocating expectations placed on women. In a society that still prioritizes a woman’s age, marital status, and adherence to tradition over her ambitions and desires, her journey is a reminder that women owe the world nothing—not marriage, not children, not compliance. Every woman should have the right to choose a life that fulfills her, whether that means pursuing a high-powered career, embracing independence, redefining relationships on her own terms, or rejecting societal norms altogether. *The Midnight Romance in Hagwon* pushes us to not just question, but actively dismantle the outdated structures that try to dictate how women should live. The future belongs to those who refuse to apologize for living authentically—and that’s a revolution worth fighting for.
