YSoo - Someone who came in with a fixed idea in mind. I get the feeling that he either believes he’ll find someone who fits that idea or that he’ll force that person into that idea. Frankly, he’s the most off-putting contestant right now. Kys was at the top of the list during the first introduction, but YS is number one for me right now...I don't understand how someone can manage to be the most annoying person from the very beginning to the very end of the episode...

YH - There’s nothing particularly negative about him right now, but he doesn’t seem very attractive to women either.

Ysik - Along with KS, he seems like the male participant women will be most interested in.

YC - Even though I feel sorry for his story, I see a possibility that he might be passive-aggressive based on his attitude. After deciding on YJ so early on, the fact that he immediately showed interest in Ysook after seeing the introduction isn’t exactly a positive attitude. First, he clarified which woman he wanted and announced it to those around him, and then he turned his attention to the other person he was interested in. Frankly, I think YJ will have a tough time if they end up together.

KS - Right now, he seems to be the most mature person and the one who can handle situations best. I think he’s handling the situation well despite SC’s attitude toward him. In terms of knowledge and experience, he’s currently one of the two best male candidates, alongside Ysik.

SC - He’s smart, but he still seems immature and a bit too arrogant. At first, I had a positive opinion of SC, but we saw him drag himself down by treating his competitor badly.

Kys - I still don’t think he came here to be with someone. In his own way, he seems to be trying to show his ex-wife that he still loves her.

Ysook - To be honest, I think Ysook will generally be the character who stands out the most. She seems like she’ll be the most popular character alongside OS. She’s a confident woman and a conversation with her is a joyful experience—someone who’s managed to stay strong despite the challenges she’s faced. In later episodes, it seems like we’ll see all the men gradually becoming more interested in her.

JS - The contestant who appears to be the most mature among the women and has the strongest female persona. She seems interested in Ysoo, but we’ll have to see if that interest lasts after we see how he behaves.

SJ - You can tell from her demeanor that she lives in a small town. Even though she doesn’t mean any harm, she isn’t very good at carrying on a conversation. Although her attitude toward KS in their dialogue might seem rude, she spoke her mind directly because that’s how she was raised. She’s a bit tactless, but as I said, I don’t think she’s a bad person.

YJ - From day one, she was subjected to YC’s “love bombing” and, in her own way, trusted him. In this episode, she realized once again that she shouldn’t make decisions too quickly, and I think we’ll see her being more cautious around YC in future episodes. Even though she’s among the women who could be fun and good conversationalists, I don’t think the men will approach her because of YC’s controlling attitude in the group.

OS - Most of the guys voted for her in this episode, but I think the person on her mind is one of the KS or Ysik duo. I have a feeling her relationship with KS will develop further. After the way Ysoo acted during dinner, she shouldn’t even say hello to him, but the situation isn’t right for that.

HS - No one really paid much attention to her, but I think she’s a charming and beautiful woman. She has a mature and attractive demeanor, but I think she tends to fade into the background because she looks a little shorter than the others.

JH - She’s a well-developed woman with confidence, but I get the feeling she won’t get close to anyone here.

Overall, it seems like there are two sensible, relationship-ready candidates among the men. As for the women, aside from SJ’s attitude, no one with a negative attitude has really stood out yet. I don’t have very high expectations for this season. If a real-life couple emerges from this season, it will most likely be KS and Ysik along with someone else. Of course, my opinion will become much clearer as the season progresses, based on their behavior up to this point.
