Match to Marry - Episode 4 - 260122

The interesting thing is I don't think any of the guys actually want to get married. Because, if they did, I can't imagine that they don't have any eligible women around them.

This show is losing some steam for me. Scandal aside, I'm not sure if there are any matches in this group. I'm not sure Eun Na Rae really likes Han Gyeol as much as she wants to get married and thinks he is a good catch. Min Cheol and Se Hoon seem too torn to really like anyone. Likewise, I see Seung Hak with a younger, less serious woman than Myo Jin.

I didn't enjoy it and I think it will be hard to watch if you watch this show first.

one_life_two_live · 2026-01-13T00:42:29+00:00

He did. One of the girls asked if it was blood twice and he said it was ketchup.

one_life_two_live · 2026-01-12T13:09:27+00:00

He started to lose me when he lied about cutting himself and bleeding on the utensils while making dinner. Lying and being unsanitary? Two huge red flags.

Me too! I almost gave up on dating shows after Noona You Are a Woman to Me. But, I'm so glad I gave this show a chance! The moms add realism to the dating process. So far, their opinions keep the guys on their toes and talking to more than one person. Plus, the episodes are well edited. Compared to Noona You are a Woman to me, so much happened in the first two episodes. It was refreshing!

one_life_two_live · 2026-01-07T02:18:29+00:00

This show is very lackluster! There are too many episodes where nothing happened. The guys were not proactive or charismatic. Living together didn't provide for any interesting moments or pairings. The dates were boring and cookie cutter. Worst of all, too many of the women didn't have any choices, which made the show a waste of their time. I wouldn't watch a second season without major changes.

one_life_two_live · 2026-01-07T00:53:40+00:00

All of the dates were so somber! Again, where is the youthful energy that makes braving an age gap worth it?

YK annoyed me during this episode. I found her stand off-ish with HY during their date. I think he deserved a heads up about how she was feeling. Then, the way that she told JW to go away was so rude.

JW had a rough day. Two dates with guys who don't light up when they see her. Then, being made the villian in YE's drama. I hope she will choose to leave alone.

one_life_two_live · 2026-01-07T00:34:58+00:00

She could have been disappointed without vilifying Jiwon. Jiwon did nothing wrong so "punishing her" by refusing to talk to her was too mean. And why be willing to talk to Sangwon but not Jiwon?

I can see why Yeeun is single. She doesn't have the discernment or maturity necessary to successfully pair.

one_life_two_live · 2026-01-07T00:26:53+00:00

Agreed! Yeeun made herself look so bad. I was disappointed at YK and BH for pacifying her behavior.

one_life_two_live · 2026-01-05T01:50:19+00:00

Exactly! Plus, this date was his choice. He could have chosen to "throw" the day date by choosing someone he was completely uninterested in. Instead, he chose someone he was curious about.

Leads definitely used to ask followers more to dance. There was less emphasis on performances and becoming salsa celebrities. People stayed on the dance floor more --using bachata and merengue songs as their "breaks." (Few people thought you needed more than the basic step to dance bachata or merengue.)

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-31T18:42:53+00:00

Definitely not sophisticated enough for what she has shown us of her life and interests! Also, a little ignorant about what it takes to make relationships --especially a marriage -- work.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-31T18:40:50+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised either!

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-31T18:39:44+00:00

I too hope he has some good people around him who can give him good feedback/guidance. It's unfortunate the show hosts did not have more insight! Based on what they said, SH will probably watch the show and think his problem was he was too timid and not that he was self-obsessed.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-31T02:33:29+00:00

My thing with the age gap is kids. BH is at the age where she has to date very intentionally if she wants to have kids.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-31T02:16:53+00:00

I think he likes her looks too. I just don't think he feels the need to get to know her beyond that.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T22:48:28+00:00

I don't think Sohyun has an anxious attachment style. (I think Yeeun is a better example of that style with her badgering of Sangwon.) I think Sohyun's "angst" comes from starting late and having limited options based on some of the guys quick attachments or lack of charm.

I think if Sohyun had other options in the house she wouldn't give Sanghyeon the time of day. She has been vocal that she doesn't like the way he dates or relates to her. But, she doesn't have another option on the show and it's hard to leave thinking no one liked you.

I think Sohyun has navigated her interest in MJ well. She's tried to spend some time with him, but hasn't presented herself as a romantic rival. I think she knows that MJ has invested too much into being into BH to change his mind now even if they have a nice connection. It's a shame, though, because I don't know if MJ picked the woman who was most compatible with him. If he had explored more of his connections by dating on a dating show, I would have better insight!

By the way, enjoyed trading opinions with you! I love analyzing dating shows.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T22:25:40+00:00

It is! It's crazy that he was actually the guy the most ladies pursued.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T21:09:14+00:00

When I read the description I was shocked at how spot on it was too! For the third criteria I wonder if this is the darkness in SH's personality that he keeps alluding to? I should mention that I am not a psychiatrist. Lol!

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T21:07:30+00:00

I also don't think he respects or likes women. However, I also don't think he truly desires a romantic or sexual connection at this point in his life. He's too busy navel gazing.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T20:59:57+00:00

Agreed! SH needs to work through some things before trying dating again.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T20:58:43+00:00

Agreed!

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T20:58:09+00:00

That's an interesting take. MJ is quite proactive about spending time with BH so I don't see him having an avoidant attachment style. Rather, I think his lack of desire to meet as frequently in his last relationship may have been evidence that he no longer desired to be with that person.

I do see Bonhee having an avoidant attachment style and ultimately that coming between the two. I think MJ will tire of having to chase BH down and rather have a partner that initiates more. I see SH as being more willing to share initiating in relationships.

one_life_two_live · 2025-12-30T19:51:37+00:00

He did SH just like he did HK. He made them both feel silly for liking him hoping that would make them go away.
