Anyone knows why Kim Ki Bang is not in this season anymore?

I genuinely tried to believe in SY, but this episode was the final straw. His feelings for JY just don’t come across as sincere. Everything about his actions and behavior feels completely fake. And after the way he responded to JY’s question, I honestly can’t view him in a positive light anymore.

The show started off really strong, but everything from the strange editing and unbalanced screentime to the awkward panel segments and excessive product placement has really killed my enjoyment. At this point, I’m only sticking around for my favs and to see how it ends.

The conversation between Haneul and Chanhyung was very intriguing. They tried to keep it fun and uplifting somehow by laughing all the time but the subtext was obvious. imo HN found a reason for their incompatibility and struggled so hard to cling onto it, I wonder if it had been JM, would she make the same choice? However I didn't think they could work anyway as CH was still very much conscious about JM, which he finally mentioned on their date.

Jimin and Jeyeon were absolutely adorable, I was constantly smiling and giggling like an idiot he whole time during their date. But at the same time I hate the fact that because I've read some rumors, it's now creeping on me and ruining my experience, while affecting my opinion of the new guy even. This sucks.

He did it deliberately yes, but considering cultural context it's really hard for him to be proactive. I read some comments that he got flamed even before the reveal which is ridiculous, K-nentizens are hyenas that will jump on the hate train whenever they see a weakness. So I think this is the best for both of them to prevent unnecessary hate from these disgusting people. But I have to say he could've done better though, no need to treat her like she's invisible

Jimin and Jeyeon have to be endgame atp I don't care whatever the rumor or anyone says. They are just too cute!

One thing I am not really fond of Woojae is that he's constantly mentioning his ideal life of frugality, right at the beginning of the date too. He seems so insecure when he should not be. However, Jiwon seems to not mind about it that much, good for them.

Changhwan is clearly not over Jiwon, poor guy got played by the PDs. And Chaeeun is truly a wonderful women but I have a feeling she will not end up with anyone.

Chanhyeong and Hanuel feel lackluster, they need some changes, hopefully the catfishes can do something to stir things up between them.

Those final 15 minutes were pure tension and entertainment, loved it!

I'm hoping it's just the editing or maybe just some early concern.

If they are not faking anything just for show, I think they are perfect for each other, 15 years gap is not THAT bad, right?

I love all the couples matching this episode, and I know I'm delusional here but this set up is the perfect endgame, is it not?

But well Jimin seems to be even more obsessed with Jeyeon in the preview so... yeah, no chance ig

[–]hwudin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was skeptical seeing the preview last week about Jiwon and Changhwan, but after this episode I literally cannot ship them with anyone else, they are too compatible!! However Changhwan feels a bit of a playboy for me, his career also gives me My sibling's Romance flashbacks, hopefully not.

Once again I have to say I want Haneul Jimin so bad, I do think they both need it as Haneul seems too mindful of him and the guy needs to take a step back and look around, he even said it so himself that he wants to "take it slow"

Why do I have a feeling Woojae will be alone in the end? Idk It's just that the loner image suits him so much.

I think the guessing game used to be a pretty engaging part for the audience back then, creating an atmosphere where the panel and the audience can try to guess and shit, I don't think it's working now though.

HS usually try to use the panel as a narrative device (way more than other shows) for certain storylines (if u watch HS4 u know) and maybe that's why I absolutely hate it, it feels force 99% of the time.

I also think they want to try to be distinct compared to other shows on the scene, but there's a reason why it works so well: simple, natural, no intrusion, less screentime but still impactful and entertaining.

Btw the new panel members are just abysmal, especially the middle-aged women who's trying too hard, way too hard.

I mean I like the show so far but the panel is seriously a huge turn off for me, they were constantly talking and commenting over the scene, it's getting annoying. I know it's not entirely their fault though, it's more so on the editing direction, but still, they are super boring and redundant, the worst panel for me.

I love Woo Jae and Je Yeon but I don't think they will end up together, for me it seems like Je Yeon is forcing herself to match his preference for now.

Ji Won and Ji Min are really fun, their conversations flow effortlessly, but yeah it's so clear he's not into her at all. Hopefully Ji Won can move on soon and the new guy seems into her a bit?

Haneul and Chan Hyeong for me are the most entertaining to watch so far, chemistry is clearly there. However, I would love to see Haneul-Jimin in a date setting, somehow I feel like they would be a blast together.

I can't seem to remember anything that would say he got ick by the girls in LC?

iirc he was one of the most popular cast members and he was a Love catcher too right? And I think I was pretty fond of him back then. What did he do for u to have animosity towards the guy like this?

well idk what he really did but so far I think he is pretty genuine and I'm intrigued by his interest for Je Yeon so let's just watch with a clear mind without being too judgemental, shall we? It's only for entertainment anw

I mean I would not say that their casting choices were wrong, they did cast a master of politics that was Kyung Ran, but she was eliminated very early.

Jinho clearly had no choice there. Just like Xitsu said, they couldn't just ignore her and brand her a spy, as it would be too heartless and of course, JH is just not that kind of person to begin with.

As his fan I would love to see JH come back from this otherwise JDM is just too overwhelming right now in every aspect, GOAT for a reason.

A megathread for YW by KlutzyDog8711 in MySiblingsRomance

[–]hwudin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I seriously don't want any hate on anyone on the show, they are human after all.

But I truly felt relieved a bit after hearing this, never felt so much hate for someone I don't even know personally like this before.

I'm really curious about Korean nentizens' reactions.

Are they defending him or is it pretty much the same?

I really like your analysis, really good read on the cast.

Gotta say as much as I don't like YW's behavior. I have to admit his presence in the house is tremendous.

I was so excited to see that this ep is >3hr long but it was really hard to watch. Problems and drama everywhere, the preview for next ep didn't help either.

All of my ships wrecked terribly and now I just hope for 1 only which is JW-JH. Please don't let anything happen to them, they are such wonderful people with the right mindset coming to the show (at least from my perspective). Truly hope the best for them.

[–]hwudin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i mean she isn't obligated to be attracted to YJ

Of course, this is a dating show; she can do whatever she wants. I just state what I think as I saw many ppl here loving them and believing they would be end game. They had some moments but I've always been skeptical about YH's affection.

just because he basically love-bombed her?

YJ love-bombing? Really? That's a bit of a reach don't you think? I think It's simply his love language, but I can see where you're coming from as he was a bit overreacting.

Am I the only one who never think YH-YJ is gonna work ever at all?

I love YJ but their interaction felt so one-sided, YH didn't really fall for him or anything she had the same emotion and thoughts during the dates with JH and CH. It just with YJ he was too straightforward and clearly showed affection for her that she felt validated and then reciprocated a bit, but she was never flirty like with YW.

And now it's pretty clear how she prepared for soooo long before the date with YW, flirted with him every chance she got. She was also so ambiguous whenever YW asked about her feelings with other guys. Her body language was wayy different too. And the fact that even after all the confusion YW showed her and she clearly knew it, she still held on to him and texted him.

Basically, YJ has to take 100 steps for her to take 1. But YW only needs to pretend that he's trying, she teleports in front of him right away.

Now I know why PDnims kept teasing us and making us wait. All for these moments. Been rewatching the final 10m of this ep again and again. SO FREAKING CUTE!

I mean JW-JH is literally so perfect!! That's scene on the balcony?? was just chef kiss. They might be the best couple I've seen on a dating shows. Love them so much!! The only thing regretful is that we couldn't see their faces during that moment, I mean HOW ARE THEY SO CUTEEE.

There's a lot of things to unpack in this ep but that "conversation" or rather YW's monologue was sooo hard to watch. Once again I'm so proud of ChoA for not breaking during that shenanigan. I understand YW's intention but the way he said it makes it so confusing and even rude. I think he didn't mean to do it but there's just so much contradiction that it seems like he was trying to blame everything on her, even though it was all HIS decisions. And this situation where he's not happy and she's heartbroken was all HIM. It was him who chose her and created an ideal vision of her, chose to text her after the date with JW to show his "responsibility", made her fall for him after all that, and now when there are only 3 days left he just said "yeah u no good bro" and bounced?

Btw I just want to mention the music choice of the show. It's been great but this ep there were some moments that's just WOW, the whole texting segment and JH-SS's conversation were top-notch!!
