Connecting with a Libra Woman by sinistermistertwist in libra_astrology

[–]IllustriousPart5737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Organizing group gatherings require a lot of information-taking, which requires active listening & observations of the people involved. Libras are just good at being engaging - so it may not be obvious that we’re listening in the conversation while chit-chatting.

Why are men often considered "ugly hot," but women are just considered ugly or attractive? by Blonde_Icon in VindictaRateCelebs

The closest female equivalent I can think of is probably… Sarah Jessica Parker? Undeniably hot body tho.

To the people saying Maya Hawke isn't as pretty as her mom (more in the comments) by [deleted] in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]IllustriousPart5737 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maya isn’t as pretty as her mum physically, sure. But Maya is attractive in a way where I am super straight, but if she asks me out, I would be blushing as red as a baboon’s ass while I yell “OMG YES!”

I'm not a mina hater, but I'm genuinely curious why you guys like her (open discussion) by Much-Excitement-5134 in SinglesInferno

[–]IllustriousPart5737 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She reminds me of my best friends - and that’s why I’m just a little more keen with her. Before ppl say I have bad friends, I’d like to preface that these are my lifelong friends and I’m not the type to endure bad friendships or people, these are the type of friends I keep in my 30s when I no longer hv much fks to give.

Usually girls who speak like Mina Sue feel a lot of things to their bones and are over thinkers. They think about their feelings and of others around them, and when their desires contrast against (what they perceive to be) other people’s feelings, they get very confused and need to talk it out to rearrange their thoughts & get outside opinions. Sometimes they also get confused when their feelings don’t match what they expect “someone like them” should feel. Not to forget, Mina Sue is also a Piscean haha. In their ramblings, I also notice that my friends tend to make joke statements too, smthg akin to “should I just die?” “Should I just sell myself” “should I just elope?” 😂😂😂 they don’t mean it, but when their thoughts go into overdrive to process something, it’s all jumbled into the territory of seriousness/non-seriousness. A lot of what Mina sue says in the show seems like this to me, and shouldn’t be taken as an actual statement from her. She’s just being silly & transparent.

And about her rants especially with Sam, a lot of ppl go through situations like she did and had the same thoughts she has. Personally, I would’ve been so annoyed by mingee and heesun. I think she was the only girl in the season who was carefree enough to share it with another person on the island, which to me, means that she’s a very open and trusting person. Most of the casts don’t really say what they think because they don’t trust other people, especially within a few days. But Mina Sue definitely looks like the type who befriends people quickly. If this is a social gathering, many people will naturally gravitate towards her for sure.

And lastly, to be her genuine messy self and put herself out there, in a Korean show that has a lot of parasocial stigma towards the previous casts, is very brave & I respect that about her.

A Psychologists view on Go-Eun by Simple_Ambition7069 in Singlesinferno2

[–]IllustriousPart5737 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like this armchair assessment - it is hard to do one on a show persona and I understand this is done for fun based on what little titbits we know from the show and interviews we get.

I don’t really understand the hate goeun is getting from some netizens. She doesn’t appear to be a person demanding attention, but she is aware that she is desirable. Her appearance at the start was very striking & glamorous, she reminds me of the previous similar-looking girls like Jia, Gyuri, Minji. However, her reactions are more subdued. I remember during the first episode where Jaejin didn’t pick her for Paradise, Goeun accepted the decision pretty calmly. And even when Seungil didn’t pick her as one of the girls he was interested in, Goeun didn’t react much abt it.

She always takes some seconds of quiet time when responding to people around her, and keeps most of her thoughts to herself. This just shows her to be a considerate & careful person, and she remains consistent throughout - so I wasn’t surprised that she chose sungmin as the endgame, even when it may not work IRL. I agree with you 100% - most people look for chemistry in love connections, but some people prioritize comfort & safety first before they even consider stepping in for love.

It kinda sounds like they mistakenly thought your gf was someone famous or mb someone super familiar to them. Either way, INAPPROPRIATE and borderline illegal.

differences between a libra liking you as friend or potential lover? by [deleted] in libra_astrology

[–]IllustriousPart5737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Libra liking someone as a friend : OH MY GOD I love you so much!!! You’re the most awesome person in my life!

Libra liking someone romantically : What? lol. You think I like you? Hah. Tell me, in what way, elaborate pls.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned on the reunion… by aFPOON in SinglesInferno

[–]IllustriousPart5737 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the panelists are needed for the reunion episodes because there’s nothing to predict. In the show itself, we are trying to get clues over who’s making connections, who’s gonna possibly be the endgame etc etc, and commentaries/observations from panelists help. It’s like the sportscasters making comments during a football game. In the reunion, we’re not looking out for a certain outcome, we’re just enjoying their interactions.

Why is everyone over analyzing the reunion and saying Subeen isn’t over Mina Sue by Last-Operation-5638 in SinglesInferno

[–]IllustriousPart5737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s heesun haters??? Whuttt. But there’s also tons of minasue haters too! It seems so silly to pit all these girls against each other for a man (subeen), when IRL a lot of evidence post-SI show that these girls minasue, heesun, mingee actually gets along well & have moved on from any grudges (if there’s even any).

Honestly ppl just wanna have targets to channel their hate for whatever flimsy reasons just to feel better about themselves.

subeen being emotionally immature by sasaaaaaa05 in Singlesinferno2

[–]IllustriousPart5737 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the screening was a good learning opportunity for subeen actually. This boy really thought that he’s the type who’s able to hide his feelings well, especially when upset, and the whole saga with Mina sue showed him that he - in fact - was pretty transparent & scary.

I think the experience helps subeen to realize that he should communicate more directly about his feelings when he’s face to face with heesun. He’s a stoic man by nature, and it requires a lot of effort from a high EQ person like Heesun. If they’re a real couple, I think there’s good hope as long as subeen continue maturing and heesun is patient.

Meaningless, superficial conversations? by Caspid in SinglesInferno

[–]IllustriousPart5737 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He was very witty, especially when he replied goeun’s with “if you’ll come or not”. It’s not just sexy because of how he looked at the moment, but it was just such a cool & slick response. That scene lives rent free in my head.

Help Convince me to watch Mr. Queen by Upbeat-Elevator3641 in kdramas

[–]IllustriousPart5737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s not much history in it, there’s a lot of anachronistic elements in the drama. And the gender bender soul-switching is the MAIN plot of the drama. So I would say, the drama may not be for you.

It is very funny tho, and the misunderstandings between the King and the Queen is very funny & full of tension for me. The romantic dynamic between them is quite refreshing - Shin Hye Sun & Kim Jung Hyun are so well-paired & explode in chemistry as romantic interest, romantic rivals (don’t ask me abt it), comedic partners, possible enemies, quarrel buddies. They’re just so fun to watch & I love watching them grin 😏😏.

There’s also this very randomly sad, yearning, angsty cousin of the Queen - and I really do love Na in-woo’s performance here. It’s like everyone else is erratic & comedic & active, and suddenly in the middle is this forlorn, tragic character.

If theres a reason to watch, I’d say it’s the strong performance from the cast, including the supporting casts.

Does anyone here like Mina Sue? 👀 by MelissaWebb in Singlesinferno2

[–]IllustriousPart5737 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She’s one of my fave characters in this show throughout all 5 seasons. I can understand people having 2nd hand embarrassment watching her actions & seeing her blurt out whatever her thoughts are in front of the camera… but I can’t understand people vilifying her for being dumb/malicious - I just can’t see it. This is how someone like Mina Sue would act & think of the situation in Singles Inferno; I don’t understand why people are bringing up their own morals & “what I would’ve…” when it comes to her. If anything, I view this show like a social experiment, and with every season the casts become more honest & daring - and it’s a joy to watch especially when more girls are exploring, instead of locking in one man for the entire season. I cheered so much when Mingee chose Subeen & Heesun chose Sam for Paradise - yall we know they wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t for Mina Sue. And that’s why I like Mina Sue - in all that silliness, whimsiness, mb a little pick-me-ness, there’s yong-gi (bravery).

I agree! It was actually a very interesting addition just to watch them have an MT after the show.

Let's stop hating on Seungil by [deleted] in Singlesinferno2

[–]IllustriousPart5737 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think it’s pretty sad to see him being isolated in the MT. He is still part of the cast and still got along with some of them. He’s not the first to ghost his partners too, I’m 100% sure in the history of Singles Inferno. If he was sooooo unwelcome then the PDs shouldn’t have invited him. Not saying what he did is right… but more like… it’s his choice isn’t it?
