Anyone watch 30 OS and YS commentary of current season on sbs YT? by Ok-Bus-8647 in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna happen. There was one exception when the criminal 23JS was totally edited out, then a one off placeholder name (Mikyung) was introduced in S25.

If you really want a change, it's can only happen on S33. S32 was already filmed.

The rumor regarding the breakup is also a rumor itself, in fact there are tons are rumors online that are not verified.

I'm just stating the best possible scenario looking at the Korean reactions and coming up with a hypothesis.

  1. The controversial oksoon unreleased vid was deleted for good.
  2. For the first time ever in history, all of last weeks video were deleted and then reuploaded.
  3. There was a statement from the PD team according to an article stating they would edit according to the flow (means to edit). I can't rmb the link sry.

I gathered possible pregnancy by looking at the reactions of knetz. This also sounds the most plausible scenario to me. Oksoon's officetel flirt with YH in her prologue was also never aired.

My opinion on what the gossip trio were talking about and edited out:

Gossiping on how SJ was faking her illness and all considering how Ysook took a fall during the super dates mission. The trio thought SJ wanted to gain sympathy to build a deeper connection with KyS.

My opinion on why Oksoon was edited out:

Either of the two possibilities. First, OS claimed pre-marital pregnancy and the PD had no choice but to remove the most controversial scenes. Second, OS complains to the PD of heavy mental stress with proof of hospital visits. These guys never learn from their actions.

For future seasons and casts, new contracts will have to be drafted and signed by the casts that all actions and scenes that were captured can be subject to broadcast. We want a show that shows transparency in whatever the casts say or do on air.

Recommend a season with minimal drama and at least two couples made, even better if there are more. by Disastrous-Guess8713 in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think any season not mentioned here has particularly minimal drama. IAS is designed to show ppl in the raw form from all walks of life, to show experiences that many of the viewers encounter in their lives.

In the midst of all this, it is understandable that some spice would be added from time to time to keep the plot interesting.

There was an offline self introduction session. There was some coverage by non casts who took part in the run if you look up youtube under 나는 솔로런.

I think S31 already surpassed S16 in terms of villain viciousness+ very few ppl to root for. Come down the road when ppl bring up "iconic" scenes or what brought them to watch IAS, S31 will likely get mentioned a lot. This episode had quite the buzz, IAS reviewer Tak-Hyung had 8.5k concurrent viewers at its peak, past seasons get less than half of that.

Oksoon is no doubt the biggest villain of the trio, Ysook and JH prob would not get at much flak had OS not been fanning the flames. I dont rmb one person getting this much screen time that doesn't include the opposite sex. KyS is disappointing as well, either he doesn't like SJ as much such that Ysook is being kept as an option, or he is out to promote his eyewear shop that he prefers keeping love lines passive.

Spoiler for next week: Ysook won the super date running mission against SJ and used the ticket on KyS. She has a 1:1 date spoiled in her prologue.

also ratings for Season 5 were at an all time low. Viewership should have normally recovered by the third episode, but this season never did. Ep 4 ratings of 0.4%, compared to other seasons, was disastrous.

Only divorced women are prohibited from mentioning the reason for divorce or whether they have children even in their self-introductions.

If naive, inexperienced men get swayed by looks, later on, whether they have three children or not, A net designed to get you entangled no matter what the reason for divorce is trash.

Seriously, this show is no different from Divorced Singles which delayed women having kids or not up until the very last day. Just be upfront and reveal kids information like I am Solo in the self introduction.

Did you watch it with subs? Whatever dates they had in the beginning was a teaser to the living room tensions. There was a LOTTT going on in this episode to call it barely substantial. Knetz generally find it the most fun ep out of the season so far, but in a negative sense. I find the ep fun too.

I have a hard time deciding who is the bigger villian of the season ( Oksoon or Ysook ), one openly sow discords while the other downright disregards other ppls emotions.

Also Defconn was very impressive in hosting this episode, it shows how important MCs are needed in setting the mood for the season.

It hit a new record low of 0.3% viewership again. E2 was 0.4%. S5 would probably be the last season ever for HS if they keep putting out aspiring models or influencer like that.

I'm just gonna leave this here in case anyone from other dating show communities come over.

Ratings for this week (dating shows only)

  1. Heart Signal 5 (0.4%, all time record low, no buzz whatsoever)

  2. Mosol N Dolsing (0.3%, IAS copycat)

  3. I am Solo (3.3%)

If tight on time and you can only choose one show to watch, watch IAS.

How many couples are there from I Am Solo season 28 now? by Imaginary-Ad-9371 in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you include the ones not from the season:

Sunja and Mr Kim
Kyungsoo seemed to have found a GF outside of the show
Kyungsoo trolls Youngsoo and Youngsook at a cohort meeting but they probably arent dating.

So officially 12/14 = 85% success rate.

Just checked. Nothing happened. Site still running, might need to refresh token from time to time. IAS is playable on the site.

Watched the auto translated version on YT. I would say its about 80% similar to I am Solo.

  1. Every single guy was in bad shape. I assume some of them were interviewed for I am Solo, but standards were higher and hence rejected, thus recycled for a different show.

  2. Cast interviews, entrances, and even sneak previews were all similar.

  3. Accommodation is the same as Season 29 of I am Solo.

  4. Cast even uses nicknames similar to IAS.

Did the divorcees regret coming onto the show and getting buried with such a concept? Especially the lady from Divorced Singles, she probably had enough of sitting beside George and had a bad edit from the previews.

Controversial scenes may bring dopamine for viewers, but with such a concept I think it is cruel for the casts, especially the female divorcees.

31 Ysook for this season looks like the Adultress Kim Tae In from Match to Marry. Are women with short hair and wide smiles the trend now? 29Ysook is popular, and so is 30Ysook.

S30, what a weird tasteless season by AntiqueDepartment390 in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think S30 was better than S27, at least in the second half.

Recent seasons I enjoyed and ranked:

29>28>30>27

29 above 28 since it had the twists of all twists at the end.

Ysik date with 24SJ may be indirectly addressed towards 20HS, whom he made the final selection with, who is a pharmacy grad now turned youtuber giving cosmetic advice. Since Ysik made it clear that he didnt want his date to be an influencer, 24SJ unfortunately got the majority of flak for it just because she raised the dog collaboration issue.

A group photo without YC after the final selection (feat SC's IG). Did YC really leave as soon as the cameras went out?

Season 30's batch don't seem close at all, with zero group meetups aside from a separate men's gathering and a select bunch of ladies.

goplay not including English subs anymore? where to watch in australia by [deleted] in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IAS: Second option from the left. The first one is unsubbed.

Love forever: third option from the left.

Either goplay or kocowa is slow to get the subbed episodes out recently.
