One can be a sociopath AND a victim, one does not exclude the other. Most sociopaths, psychopaths, people with ASPD, serial killers etc were first victims before they started to create their own victims.

Well she has antisocial personality disorder, which is strongly correlated with trauma and abuse, and people use sociopath and psychopath as sub-categories, even if they are not part of diagnosis. So yeah, she is a victim that became monster... which means she became sociopath

You are talking about different thing. Everyone expect their ex to take them into consideration and not openly flirt while they themselves openly flirt with others. That's true. That's not my issue. My issue is him not admitting to both girls what he actually feels and saying both girls he is not serious about the other. My man went on a date and then told JH it was not a date and she misunderstood. That's factually not true 🤡

Yes 😂😂 was writing it at 6am, my brain was not fully operating yet 🤡

Some random thoughts about all the contestants.

🐭 Yoosik - the thing that is stuck in my brain is how lifeless he is during the interviews 🤣 I find it so hilarious. No matter how "dramatic" is the topic they talk about during them he is like 😑 Looks exhausted. As for the "love lines" and behaviors - I just feel bad for him. I think going into this show was a bad idea. They barely broke up before the show ended, he clearly did not move on, so he is here just torturing himself while not being able to form a true close connection to anyone else. He needs 1-2 years of being alone, to truly learn who he is as an individual, since all the years that truly build who you are he was in a relationship with Minkyung.

🌸 Minkyung - surprisingly I think she is far less lost than Yoo Sik, even though at first I thought she was more of a mess. But her reactions are actually far more normal and emotionally (on her side) healthy. I can see her feeling what she is feeling and processing that and that's how you figure out where you want to be and how to deal with shit. This all should happen outside of the show, not in the same house as Yoo Sik tho, so yet again - they should not have been on the show.

🐼Baekhyun - I truly love him, but my man needs to learn how to set boundaries. At first I was annoyed by Hyunji for dragging him into many uncomfortable situation, but let's get real - he a grown up man he can say no. But he is so easily emotionally manipulated... I honestly believe he does not have any desire to get back with Hyunji, and he should act that way, but he is not, because he has no backbone 🥲 And it's gonna bite him in the ass.

👑 Seungyong - We did not see him enough for me to have a solid opinion on him, but he does seem like a mature queen. He is handling the situation quite well.

🙄 Hyunji - pick a line girl. There is being bothered watching your ex fall in love with someone else, and there is having mental breakdowns over it. Either go full "psycho" like Woojin, or act more like an ex that feels uncomfortable, but wants to move on. I feel what bothers me here the most is the fact she literally acts with the same intensity wanting to start things with Yoo Sik, but also keeping Baek around. She clearly is more on the led by emotions side, but she is not a child, she should know this about yourself. I have no idea what she was thinking agreeing to be on this show. If I had her personality and knew that about myself, I would NEVER agree 😭

🤔 Won Kyu - Surprisingly he is starting to piss me off the most. I think he needs to be honest and straightforward with Jiyeon and tell her that while he is interested in her, he does have strong lingering feelings for his ex. Because right now he acts like he is all in for Jiyeon in front of her, but then acts like it's not it in front of Jihyun. Denying going on a date? My man, you are on a dating show. Just because you went out willingly, not sent by a show card, it does not mean it was not a date.

⭐ Jihyun - How is she handling all the mess so well is beyond me. The t-shirt situation? I would flip far more. I honestly think should just set a firm boundary with Won Kyu that she is not interested, or go on that one date with him just to clear the situation both for him, but also for herself. Because unless something happens, she won't be able to "move on".

🤡 Woojin - I... this man. Damn he might look like a pretty boy, but he has a "psycho" in him. Dude legit goes joker smirk/smile when he is pissed 🤣 I am glad it seems like he finally slowly starts to understand him and Jiyeon are actually over. Tho I do think he will go back and forth a few times before the show ends.

😭 Jaehyung - justice to Jaehyung, he seems like such a great guy. But not only he does not get a girl so far, he also does not get a lot of screentime. I actually keep saying I want him to go on a date with YN. Be it either to watch them have fun in a friendly manner, or to maybe get some sparks going again. I know YN said she suffered a lot because of him, but from what they showed, I think it was a lot of emotional impact based on their young age rather than something actually seriously bad going on between them. You just feel more when you are younger. It's been 6 years, they changed, they matured. I can see potential lol

💖 Yunnyeong - best girl. Respectful to her ex, friendly to everyone, but also focused on the person she is interested in. Attentive too. She is really bubbly, but I feel like she is also very mature. The way she switched seats so Baek and HJ can talk - sure on one had it was because she was feeling uncomfortable, who wouldn't. But the way she handled it was good - simple thing like saying "she wants to eat" as an "excuse", even though it was obviously an excuse to move and give them space, makes it less emotionally awkward and exhausting.

I think next episode where guys are picking dates for their exes is the truth test - will you pick the person they want (aka you are willing to move on), or will you pick someone else with lazy excuses (aka you have lingering feelings). Somehow I feel like most guys will pick "wrong" person. I feel like right now only Yoosik (more coz he is clueless and because he wants to) and Baek would actually pick the person their exes are interested in.

The highlight of the episodes for me was Seungyong after all the tea going "화이팅 하자". What a queen 🤣👑

Okay I think we need to chill a little bit.
Not Ko Da Rim first being kidnapped, then ending up in the hospital coz of stress, and then having accident in the mountain the next episode 🤣
I don't even mind a little bit of damsel in distress scenario, but damn there's a lot of it here 🙂

So now we enter the angst part with Ji Hyeok pushing Da Rim away BECAUSE HE LITERALLY HAS A MENTAL BREAK DOWN COZ OF HIS CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, but remember it's just a senseless fun rom-comn🤡 it's all good 🥲

also, this is exactly what I missed in Would You Marry Me? - solid reasonable and tough internal conflict.

Me the whole 2 episodes: so like... cousins 🤡
Jokes aside, this was surprisingly less toxic than I expected 🤣
Red flag is not even that red, maybe deep shade of pink 🙂

I literally fucking started crying from laughing with that weird random love line twists at the end lol Also why was the cafe guy THAT dramatic about everything is beyond me.

Have we seen this before? Yes. *Coughs secret relationships* < muhahahaha yes. Fluff discount edition 🤣

Literally commented on your review like 3 seconds ago 🤣
The last episode I was laughing the whole time, coz they made it so fucking dramatic. Especially the cafe guy. Like damn they made it seem like he lost his life long partner, not him just being rejected by a dude he had a crush on and he saw like 3 times a week at work 🤡🤡🤡

and I thought my 5.5 was low 🤣
but yeah there was not much to watch. I liked it at first, but I guess I just liked the imagination of where the plot can go I created in my head 🤡

Is it possible to have a webtoon adaptation that maintains the fantasy and over-the-top humor, yet still gives you a sense of realism with character development? If so, then I think “Spirit Fingers” might have achieved that. < this. Honestly I was kind of scared they won;t manage to do it. That they will either go full silly fantasy, or try to make it more "realistic". But they somehow balanced the two so well 🔥🔥

but it wasn’t explosive enough and I wanted to see a little more of the aftermath. < I actually the actual confrontation was amazing, the stoic brother starting to yell in a fit on anger as the father raises his hand and the mother tries to put herself between them and the lack of sound as it hits FL how actually dysfunctional her family is. The aftermath tho... that's where the problem is, because there isn't one. We skip straight to everyone slowly improving, mom letting her kids have a bit more freedom and the youngest kid actually act like a kid, the dad takes out the trash and lets FL teach him how to etc. With how bad the family was, this change just does not feel right...

Overall, GREAT review. We agree on a lot of aspects. I actually read the webtoon, and I have to say this is one of the better adaptations of any I have ever seen 🔥

Gonna watch it with few friends, coz it does seem like a perfect chaotic trash watch 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Messy romance is basically a human right! 🤣🤣🤣

Of course I am watching it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To all the girlies who wanted a messy romance, I guess this will deliver 🤣🤣🤣

They are fucking cousins 🤣
But they are also fucking cousins 🤡

Episode 6 was great 🤣 What I expected from the plot was ML pinning over FL thinking it's impossible between them because she is married. I did not expect him having mental breakdown because he thinks her husband is cheating with his fiancée🤡

When he confronted Yoo Ha Yeong about it, I literally could feel all the frustration she is feeling through the screen. But also she is such a good sport for not spilling the tea.

And that footsie scene? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

any stories try to make “a hobby” into spiritual salvation; here, the hobby earns its redemption by changing behavior, vocabulary, and relationships. It’s tactile: croquis practice, sketchbooks, models holding a pose. Those details sell transformation. < that's a good summary pf the impact that small club had on Woo-yeon 🔥
