I knew Dai and Shun were going to milk their relationship for all its worth now that they've announced themselves as an official couple. Thankfully, I will continue to exercise my right to hit mute.
I think Ikuo's had the best glow up since the show. I love how he styled his hair for this reunion.
I'm so happy for Taeheon now that he's come out to his parents and they've accepted him. I was also shocked when he revealed that he was once like Shun lol.
I really want to see more of Usak's art. His style is so cute and his art makes him really endearing.
This show ended up gaining more of my interest over time than His Man 3. I couldn't finish the latter but I heard the finale was a mess and people are pissed lol.

I can't connect with Shun at all, I understand that you can view his insecurities and empathize with them but the way he goes about it would make me run away quite fast.
I truly feel the production didn't expect 2 of the contestant to gather most of the attention, seing yourself once the episode are done is already a mind fuck but to see yourself pine after someone who wasn't interested probably is the second blow.
It's a little sad that Usak couldn't stay longer but hey, he gave us a lot of cute eye candy lol. I was surprised no one tried to go after him. I understand that he must have been intimidating in a certain way but he was right there with his glasses and his chicken!
Ikuo, Alan and Taeheon are the three I would have bet would end up with someone, how wrong I was.
I wonder how long the filming was...

he was so fiiiine and sweet
Gensei is soooo cute and i'm sad he didn't get his desires but he was such a light presence
Shun is trash; hated him the entire season and i honestly have no clue why Dai wants to be with him so bad
Ikuo was fun and adorable and tbh, a better match for Dai in my eyes
also, am i crazy because i still cannot figure out why everyone was doing flips for Kazuto. like, there's nothing wrong with him but also he seemed so apathetic/boring

knocked this show out in two days and much of that was due to my fast-forwarding through shun and dai's scenes towards the end. i was trying my best to empathize with shun, but watching him left me exhausted.
i wish we could have seen more of usak. he seems like quite the gentle soul underneath and his drawings were cute! kazuto's feelings towards him thinking he was out of his league made me think about the times where i didn't talk to someone at a party or I hovered over someone's profile, only to swipe left because i never thought they'd be into me. it's a terrible, but common feeling.
and i knew nothing would come of him and alan.
it's too bad taeheon didn't make a connection with anyone, but hey you can't force it. i'm glad that his parents support him.
