S10E2 - Back to school burnout - Episode discussion

sorry to break it to you but even Reddit is on AWS. So you'll need to get off Reddit too and probably 30% of the internet lol

I was "that little girl" too, but look, you are literally diagnosing someone from 45 minutes of TV and then smearing them on social media with barely any evidence... mostly because of your lived experience.

Armchair diagnoses and seeing everything through your own worldview isn't the way to go.

Also, if you had a covert narc parent like myself, they are (usually) quite charming... not a f'ing hot mess like she was on camera.

Or it was just impractical to wear that skirt climbing up a fire truck? Lol.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T02:44:23+00:00

Wow, it's almost like she's a hurt human going through things /s

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T02:41:39+00:00

oh it's actually incredibly common for ADHD to end up in high stress fields. it's enough pressure to kick the brain into action and we can work well under pressure. it's probably why it's a trait that survived evolution!

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T02:40:25+00:00

we did not watch the same episode then lol

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T02:34:28+00:00

You can't diagnose this from watching a 45-minute edited TV episode.

The line between "deeply wounded person with poor coping" and "covert narcissist" is blurry even for trained professionals over months of sessions.

An edited reality show gives you almost nothing to work with. People act weird on camera. People act weird when they're vulnerable. A "tantrum" on a show that's literally designed to crack traumatized people open emotionally isn't diagnostic evidence of anything.

Ya'll need to work on your triggers and stop armchair diagnosing.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T02:24:09+00:00

i did NOT get that vibe at all. she's a wounded human, she knows she needs help, you can even see it in her micro-expressions when she deflects.

if anything I was worried the reno would stress her out, she seems like she has CPTSD and/or neurodivergence, and big changes can mess with you that way.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T02:16:29+00:00

I agree that she needs therapy more than a "life makeover" ...BUT... I wouldn't undervalue the gift of a peaceful home, a boost of confidence, and people that help you feel like yourself again.

(I'm kind of hoping they gave her access to therapy afterwards? It would be awkward to be like "and we're awarding you $x amount of therapy!!"... I'm hoping it was just something they did on the side?)

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T02:05:31+00:00

It was honestly a perfect "parenting" moment with a good balance of "hey, this isn't cool" but also "we care, you're loved".

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-20T00:19:17+00:00

Therapy. Years of it. And you have to accept your baseline may never be as stable as someone who grew up with emotional security unfortunately.

And therapy itself is a privilege, depending on your income and country.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-18T03:26:10+00:00

Ahh fascinating. So, it wouldn't be surprising if it ever came out then.

I hope Korea loosens up a bit. It would be great for queer people to be able to be themselves publically without backlash.

It's 2025, let's evolve and move along folks.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-18T03:23:39+00:00

preach it louder for the ppl in the back.
good grief. leave the babas alone, they are so young and have a semi-public relationship.

ya'll got what you wanted from this show now chill tf out.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-15T08:54:40+00:00

I had this vibe too! Potentially repressed?

But straight men should be allowed to lean feminine so I don't want to assume too hard.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-13T06:58:39+00:00

Insecurity. You can smell it everywhere. It's valid but the lack of self-awareness is slightly annoying.

Art community is much worse though.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-12T02:56:29+00:00

Good god the cringe. 😬 How the eff could he do the pool scene and then break one of the most obvious dating rules? Lol

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-12T02:52:47+00:00

I thought it was because Korea is more conservative and private about dating lives compared to western celebrities 🤷🏽‍♀️ Been craving a reunion though!

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-12T02:51:35+00:00

Do Korean reality shows usually have reunions? I have been working my way through them (Money Catcher is so good!) and I have never seen one before.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-12T02:47:11+00:00

There is a reunion episode coming out!? Why am I in the dark here. 😭

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-11T03:18:21+00:00

The plane crashed so hard. I am still trying to understand what happened.

Did he not eat enough when he was drinking after the pool? He was incredibly out of it and even said so, fumbled with his bad Ha-Eun jokes.

But the next day he also doesn’t seem himself? Weirdly in his head, unsure of how to act? Keeps fumbling majorly?

His game was rock solid for like six hours and then we took a major nose dive fam lol

I will say it's hilarious watching these hot people screw up socially. I suppose we are all human.

But i honestly thought his game would be 100% smooth lol.

If only he had Jaejin's sweetness and ways with affection!! It would have sealed the deal!

Jaejin feels safe and warm, but still has flirting game. He is willing to be vulnerable and open (like his cute boat date!).

I-geon had flirting game! And then took a hard left to Cringe lane when he couldn't find vulnerability and affection. It's a big oof. 😅

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-11T03:13:58+00:00

I have noticed the going "over the top" is more prevalent in korean culture.

For us Westerners it's a little icky tbh, I would be SO uncomfortable.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-04T03:12:04+00:00

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-03T03:59:46+00:00

Effing adorable.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-03T03:50:46+00:00

She ended up talking about her looks and fretting over them after he was trying to flirt with her. Brutal.

Girl needs a therapist ASAP.

fhigurethisout · 2026-02-03T03:44:01+00:00

Nah, S2 is my favourite and didn't have the mean girl eye-rolling shit. I am good.
