00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Hi, K-watchers. It's Leanne.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Hi, everyone. It's Juliette. Welcome to the K-watch party.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Today, we have the boyfriend episodes 9 and 10.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Two episodes full of tearful goodbyes and last-minute confessions

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
as the boys graduate from the green room.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Not everyone was successful in love, but as they proved in the show,

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
life is all about the journey.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Let's wrap things up.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Do you think Shun and Dai wrapped it up?

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
They are wrapped up. They are.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Yeah, we can talk later about where they are today after the show.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
But anyway, good morning.

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Good morning.

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
How are you today?

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
As usual.

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
But even more so.

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Here we go, guys. You ready?

18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Even more so.

19
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
You know, didn't you love it when people talk about how tired they are,

20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
but damn, I am very tired today.

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
I had one of those nights where like, it didn't feel like I slept at all.

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So I will be talking in sleep.

23
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I will be talking in circles and probably gibberish.

24
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
That's cool.

25
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I will be a circus wrangler trying to keep you on track.

26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Keep me on track.

27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
I also got a very bad haircut this week.

28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Did you? Let's see it.

29
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Okay.

30
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Okay.

31
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So I just took my hat off because I've had to cover this thing up.

32
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
It's a bang situation.

33
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
It's a bang situation.

34
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
By the way, did not ask for bangs.

35
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Really?

36
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I said I wanted curtain bangs that end here.

37
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Like close to my ear.

38
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
And then she got a razor and I went, oh my, that feels short.

39
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Oh, it'll grow out great.

40
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And I was like, uh, that was no one asked for.

41
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Anyway, so I'm been rocking this thing.

42
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
I have to put these clips in every morning to get them flat.

43
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I look kind of like a little Japanese.

44
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Yeah, it looks like an anime character.

45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Yeah.

46
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
So it's just the bangs.

47
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Did you cut the rest?

48
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Well, and the rest, I said, I like long layers.

49
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Just like a regular Asian girl.

50
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Okay.

51
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I got a wolf cut.

52
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Oh boy.

53
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Like it's super shaggy.

54
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Oh, and it's short.

55
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Oh no, it's not short.

56
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
She kind of thinned it out.

57
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
So it's really kind of poofy at the top.

58
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
And then long hair.

59
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Where did you go?

60
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I'm not saying it's a bad haircut, but it's definitely.

61
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I mean, it's a look that works with certain people that want that look.

62
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
And this was not what I asked for.

63
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
I was going to say this is a hipster, where we live.

64
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
It is hipster shag cut.

65
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And a lot of girls walk out with this haircut.

66
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And with this, this bang situation, right?

67
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
But I think if you were to just style it, I think it looks, it would look really good.

68
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
But here's what I told her.

69
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Here are my requirements.

70
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
I don't want to style my hair because I am incredibly low maintenance lazy.

71
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
And I want to be able to like wake up in my hair, just kind of fall naturally.

72
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Yeah.

73
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I look over at her hair and it looks exactly like this.

74
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And I'm like, I think she only really knows how to do one haircut.

75
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
That has been, that was a real like downer during the week.

76
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
She was too hip for, too hip.

77
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Look, I'm in my 40s.

78
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
I don't want to look that cool.

79
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
I just want to look clean.

80
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Bad haircut is just part of life though, you know, and so they're going to come and go.

81
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
It is.

82
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
But all hair goes out.

83
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I think if I was younger, I would have been more devastated.

84
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
But I, it is what it is.

85
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
I'm glad a new look.

86
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I've had a lot of people stop me, including my kids preschool teacher who I saw yesterday.

87
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
We were at a, a back to school night.

88
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
She pulls me out of the classroom.

89
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
What, what, what did you do to your hair?

90
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
No.

91
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
It was, you know, bangs are quite shocking.

92
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
You know, it's like a drastic change.

93
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
So even the preschool teachers like, what, what, what midlife crisis are you going through

94
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
right now?

95
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Are you okay?

96
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Yeah.

97
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
What have you been up to?

98
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I'm also tired because I, we have a good friend who's here staying with us.

99
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And so, you know, this friend and I can just talk all night long.

100
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
And so she, my husband and I were up till one in the morning.

101
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
You know, you just talking and you look up and it's one in the morning.

102
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Um, and then yesterday was like a day of best friends.

103
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
My, my best friend who lives in LA was up here for a work thing.

104
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
She works with our other best friend from college.

105
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
So like the three of us had beers like on campus where at school, where we, you know,

106
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
used to have beers 20 some years ago.

107
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And it was really nice to catch up.

108
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
The other thing about this week is I'm prepping for this weekend where I'm taking my daughter

109
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
with her Girl Scout troop.

110
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
We're going overnight backpacking.

111
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000
We're like hiking in, bringing our packs, setting up camp and then coming back out.

112
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Oh my gosh.

113
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I've never done this before.

114
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
You alone?

115
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
No, there's a few of us.

116
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
But I didn't realize like I just like forgot the Pee Poo situation.

117
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
So apparently you've got to bring a shovel in with you.

118
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Stop.

119
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Dig a six inch hole.

120
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
You're just going out into the mountain.

121
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
This is not like a designated campsite.

122
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
There's no shower.

123
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
There's no, there's not even potable water.

124
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
So you got to hike in all your water, which else all fine.

125
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
I'll take all the water I can carry.

126
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
But this like, you know, to take a shovel with you, dig a six inch hole, poop in the hole

127
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
and then cover it back up.

128
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And one of the other parents was like, there's some abandoned fox holes.

129
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
You could just poop in the abandoned fox hole.

130
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
I was like, what if it's not abandoned and a fox comes out?

131
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Fox just comes in, bites your ass.

132
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
It's my butt.

133
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Smell.

134
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Yeah.

135
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Anyways, I'm like super nervous about that.

136
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Well, and it's all women, right?

137
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Is are all of the chaperones women?

138
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
There are two men chaperones.

139
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
You can have an, an, a ratio for Girl Scouts.

140
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Cause I was going to say like how empowering for you and for all the girls to see like,

141
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Hey, look, our moms can do all of this on their own.

142
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I also have one of those little toddler potties.

143
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Oh no, I'm not going to carry it in.

144
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
No, it's, it's, um, it's a little contraption with legs that you flip out and then you put

145
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
a little baggy in there.

146
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
So, you know, I'm not going to lie.

147
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000
I've peed in one of those before.

148
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Yeah.

149
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
On the side of a road.

150
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
No, I'm going to rough it.

151
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
I was also, and again, men can close their ears, but I was supposed to be on my period

152
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
this week and I was like, I can't go into the forest.

153
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
No, that is just disgusting.

154
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Terrible.

155
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
And I know it's also like these animals are going to think I'm in heat and come at me

156
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
in the middle of the night.

157
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Oh my gosh, they're going to attack you.

158
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Like fresh meat.

159
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Oh, who's out there to meet with me today?

160
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000
But actually what I'm, why I'm bringing this up is that there are, I guess I just didn't

161
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
know that because our friend had just done this over the summer for her trip, but there's

162
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
basically pills you can take to kind of just stop and delay your period.

163
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
And you can do it with birth control, but there's another pill that you can just get.

164
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
There's like a company online and they call it the vacation bundle.

165
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
What?

166
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
And you can just get it online.

167
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Yeah.

168
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
And just skip your period.

169
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
So luckily we have an OB friend.

170
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
So I just texted her.

171
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I was like, Hey, can I get this pill?

172
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And she's like, yeah, she's just like gave me 20 days of it.

173
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Wow.

174
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
That's awesome.

175
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
I know, but it feels so powerful to just be like, this is when I want it to start.

176
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And this is when I want to push it off until so this pill is called norathendrone acetate.

177
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
And it stops your period from starting by just, you know, I don't know, modern medicine.

178
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
But anyway, wish me luck this weekend.

179
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
So this weekend might be a hot mess for me.

180
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,000
The other place where we saw a hot mess was in the green room on the boyfriend episodes

181
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
nine and 10.

182
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
So these are our final episodes of the show, which is really sad.

183
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Very heartbroken.

184
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000
I crammed them in last night and my husband looked over through these glass doors that

185
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
we have and he's like, wow, I feel like I haven't seen you smiling and laughing like that in

186
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
a long time.

187
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I just have not from him.

188
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Yeah.

189
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,000
I just have so much fun watching this show and they're, they're just such a sweet bunch.

190
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,000
They really are.

191
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,000
And I'm like, sad to see them go, but it definitely feels like there wasn't much left to do.

192
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
You know, like it felt like it was time.

193
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
It was time.

194
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000
It was so much time that Gen Z was just like, I can't stay three more days.

195
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Like this is three days too long for me.

196
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I was going to say, let's just start with the guys in the house that did not end up leaving

197
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
with anybody and kind of like what their dreams are.

198
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And so I think Taehyun is an easy place to start.

199
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
He just like, you know, beautiful soul.

200
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Yeah.

201
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
His journey there is all about self discovery and courage.

202
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Yeah.

203
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
And friendship.

204
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And I think it was telling that when he was living, everybody was sobbing granted.

205
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
He was the first one to leave.

206
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000
So I think the emotion was high, but I think people really appreciated him.

207
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000
He was pivotal in many of their relationships and helping people on their journey.

208
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
So real appreciation for Taehyun.

209
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:35,000
And it's not often on these shows that you get to watch somebody really like change their life.

210
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000
There's love and relationships and all that, but this man is changing his relationship with his family.

211
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
He's basically coming out on television.

212
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And so that is a big forward movement in his life and we get to see him come to terms with it.

213
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:57,000
You know, and a lot of times we saw him as therapist in this, in these episodes, finally him and Gensei are talking

214
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
and finally somebody asked Taehyun how he's doing.

215
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
And so it was also just nice to actually see him get some attention from people.

216
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Not just be wallpaper.

217
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
So that was Taehyun.

218
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:17,000
But did you notice when Da, so there was a little tiff with Da and Shun, which we will have to talk about in depth soon.

219
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But at some point, Da comes over to talk to Taehyun and say, Hey, I don't know what's going on with Shun.

220
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:33,000
He's like trying to get his advice and then shouldn't walk by and then it's like, you know, trying to like let him know.

221
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Hey, he's right behind him. And I was like, you know, the thing about Koreans, this whole thing, this idea about Nunchi,

222
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
which you explained Nunchi.

223
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Nunchi in the most in the easiest way to explain it is to say it's common sense or like an awareness of your surroundings.

224
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,000
So there's a podcast out there called Fun with Dumb and the comedian Dumb founded.

225
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
He is talking about Nunchi and he's Korean.

226
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:05,000
He's like, Nunchi gets you into the door, but it doesn't elevate you up the ladder.

227
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Do you find that to be true?

228
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Because like when you're so like, you're very conscious of scenarios and situations and like people's feelings,

229
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000
then like it opens a door to things.

230
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:23,000
But then, you know, for people who don't have that kind of that awareness, they, their bulldozer way in and that's how you climb the ladder.

231
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
That's how like you make your way up in the world.

232
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Like you can't be too polite and mindful of everybody's feelings in the room.

233
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Right. No, I totally see that, especially at work, especially at work, especially in the corporate world.

234
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
But even here at Tehan, maybe because he was so aware of how everybody was feeling about each other,

235
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
he wasn't like an equal who's like, I don't give a fuck.

236
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Yeah, I'm gonna confess myself feelings.

237
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
We never see Tehan ever telling anyone he likes that.

238
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And I wondered if that was his barrier.

239
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
He doesn't take a forceful stand about anything really, right?

240
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Yeah.

241
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Even in his therapy positioning, he's very like, what does this person want to hear from me versus like,

242
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
what do I actually think I need to tell this person?

243
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,000
You don't have to be a bully and you don't have to always be elbows out, but you do have to speak your mind.

244
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Yes.

245
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
I think if you want to get ahead.

246
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Yeah.

247
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Or if you want to find love on a reality show, you know.

248
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
So that was Tehan.

249
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000
The other person that we wanted to talk about was Gense.

250
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Gense gets a little action in these two episodes.

251
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000
He has basically him and Ryota had an overnight date in the last episode,

252
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
but they didn't get to go anywhere.

253
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,000
They stayed at the house and they ate dinner in the house and had like a very lovely calm date.

254
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And so we actually start episode nine the next morning after all of the overnight dates.

255
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
And they're already there with all the other guys eating breakfast.

256
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
They don't get to have the like coming home walk.

257
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
They don't get to like download everybody on their situation.

258
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Right.

259
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
So it just felt like they were short changed a little bit on their date.

260
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Gense gets to be in charge of one of the last truck shifts chooses Ryota.

261
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
And then he's like, you look pale today.

262
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Should I do your makeup?

263
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Also, Ryota definitely looked as though he did not want to be picked.

264
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,000
I know Ryota definitely when Alan and Kazuto come back from their date,

265
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
he definitely looked down.

266
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
He looked like a lizard.

267
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Slinky lizard man.

268
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000
And Gense really notices, you know, Gense has his Nunchi radar up and he notices

269
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,000
that Ryota is definitely demeanor changed when those two came back.

270
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
So I think Gense rightly so senses that Ryota still likes Kazuto.

271
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
So Gense does his makeup and he looks so good.

272
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
He does.

273
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Gense does a really good job.

274
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Yes.

275
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
He does a good job.

276
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
He's a pro.

277
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
They go on their coffee truck date after their shift.

278
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Gense full on kind of confesses.

279
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000
He confesses and he's like, you know, I thought that first letter that first night was you.

280
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,000
And I went back to look and they never tell us who it was, but I did some reddit sleuthing

281
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
and it seems like people have deduced it was should.

282
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Really?

283
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Just as like a, Hey, I didn't get a chance to talk to you.

284
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Not, not any romantic interest.

285
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Gense mistakenly thought it was Ryota basically the entire 10 episodes or nine episodes.

286
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And Ryota looks as uncomfortable as Kazuto does when Ryota confesses to Kazuto.

287
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
And I think it's also because I think Ryota wants to like Gense, right?

288
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Like he's like, he can see how earnest and sincere Gense is and what a great guy he is.

289
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
He just sometimes you just can't get it up for some people, you know?

290
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Can't get it up.

291
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
That's right.

292
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
And it's just also so interesting what influences who we think we like.

293
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Like if Gense didn't think Ryota wrote him that message.

294
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Would he have ever even given Ryota a second glance?

295
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Right.

296
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Maybe not.

297
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Yeah.

298
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Like how much of who you like is based on how you think they think about you.

299
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Oh yeah.

300
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Right?

301
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Unless you're equal.

302
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
You don't care.

303
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
He just walks around the world like an ogre with just no sense.

304
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Anyway, so yeah, Gense full on confesses.

305
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,000
It's really cute.

306
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
So yeah, after the confession, Gense tells Ryota his little bombshell that he's leaving

307
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
with literally two or three days left at the green room.

308
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
He was so over it.

309
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
He was over it.

310
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Gense knew this was done for him.

311
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Right.

312
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Like he's like, and I think when you actually see the final goodbyes, you're like, oh, this

313
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
was so smart of Gense to leave.

314
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
You don't have to deal with the tears, but you also don't have to watch the couples.

315
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Yeah.

316
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Walk away together and you have to walk away yourself.

317
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Yes.

318
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
He's just like, I'm doing it on my own terms.

319
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Yeah.

320
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Peace out.

321
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
So a strong goodbye from Gense.

322
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Except Ryota says that Gense encouraged him to tell Kazuto his feelings.

323
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
I'm like Ryota full.

324
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
You've already told him four times and you've been rejected every single time.

325
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Yeah.

326
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
We could talk about Ryota now.

327
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:12,000
This guy, slinky lizard man, you know, you can't help who you love, I think.

328
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
He really so badly wants to like Gense.

329
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Yeah.

330
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
On one hand, I think I was, I wrote, you're such a creep.

331
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
But also this is his chance to shoot his shot.

332
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
So I don't blame him, but I think his demeanor is there's something about him that's not

333
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
very likable because he is slouchy.

334
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
And he always seems a little down and he's very pale.

335
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Hey, what do you have against pale people?

336
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
He's like pale in an unhealthy way.

337
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
You're pale in a, I can tell you've been doing SK2 brightening.

338
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
A lot of SPF.

339
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
But he just does things in a way also that there's no charm.

340
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Yeah.

341
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
It's like he's slinking around.

342
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
You know, like at one point Kazuto has to go to the coffee truck and then Ryota packs

343
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,000
him a lunch, which is very sweet, but it's also like you didn't get the message.

344
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
No.

345
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
It feels desperate.

346
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Yeah.

347
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000
That's right.

348
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
That's what it is.

349
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Yeah.

350
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
That scene Kazuto has been given an opportunity to pick somebody to go on a coffee truck day

351
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
and he picks Alan.

352
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,000
So still Ryota packs them both a lunch and it's raining.

353
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,200
And so he's kind of just waiting on the front porch after he's given them their packed lunch

354
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,200
with his umbrella.

355
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,200
Right.

356
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Even that is so sad.

357
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,500
Like it's of course raining on the day that he wants to give him his lunch.

358
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:34,500
Yeah, it all just feels very melancholy when things are around him.

359
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:39,800
I wrote down, he looked like, you know, a 50s housewife and her husband is driving away

360
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,800
in the Chevrolet.

361
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,800
With the mistress.

362
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Yeah.

363
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,800
With the mistress.

364
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,800
Are you going to eat the lunch I packed for you?

365
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,800
Yeah.

366
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,800
And just sat in the rain.

367
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,320
So Ryota to the end couldn't get over Kazuto and they're all leaving.

368
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,880
It's the last day.

369
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,680
They're all saying their goodbyes.

370
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,760
Ryota asks Kazuto one more time to go outside and have a conversation.

371
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,200
Kazuto is probably just like, thank God, this is the last time.

372
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,600
The 17th, the 10th.

373
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,600
I know.

374
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,800
But he's also just like, isn't your cab waiting?

375
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Like, you know, don't you don't want to keep your cab waiting?

376
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,360
Ryota tells him, I still have feelings for you.

377
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:17,480
Even now I had to say it.

378
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,080
I'd be happy if we left the house at the same time together.

379
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,920
What was he trying to accomplish here?

380
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,640
It's such a desperate move to like drag somebody away from the person that they actually like.

381
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,640
Right.

382
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,640
And like, why make him say it?

383
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,640
Right?

384
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,360
Poor Kazuto is like, he's like, I'm going to get my own ride.

385
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:35,360
Thanks.

386
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:38,480
And I, no matter what, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't like you.

387
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,480
Yeah.

388
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,480
Yeah.

389
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,480
He's like, my Uber's coming.

390
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,480
It's already called.

391
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,480
I can't cancel it.

392
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,480
My ratings and trouble.

393
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,040
But Kazuto lets him down very nicely for the nth time.

394
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,240
And then Ryota as he's leaving to the camera is just sobbing.

395
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,800
That was heartbreaking to watch.

396
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,680
But it's also like, you did this to yourself.

397
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,360
Like, why would you put yourself through that?

398
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,320
You know, I guess there's just two ways of looking at this experience.

399
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,080
It's like, you got to give it everything.

400
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,080
Yeah.

401
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,080
Walk away with no regrets.

402
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,080
Yes.

403
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,080
You've got to try.

404
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,160
Go rag reds.

405
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,600
So that's his point of view.

406
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,400
My point of view is like, can you have some dignity to the end?

407
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,080
You know, walk away with your head held high like Gense.

408
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,000
Gense and Ryota took very different approaches.

409
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,400
Gense is like, I'm walking away with my self dignity intact.

410
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,400
Ryota slinked away like a lizard in shame.

411
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,400
So that was Ryota.

412
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,240
We have Ikuo.

413
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,760
I think Ikuo got the short end of the stick.

414
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Yeah.

415
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:35,760
He showed up late.

416
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,560
So whatever attractions were there were already established.

417
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,000
And so he had a really hard time breaking into it.

418
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,120
I also think he's just a young kid.

419
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,120
Yeah.

420
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:50,720
He's like willing to give his attraction or his attention to anything that's floating

421
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,800
by.

422
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:57,400
So he like originally was into Kazuto and then changed his mind to die.

423
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,240
It was similar to the Ryota approach.

424
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,640
He knew that Diane Schoon were pretty much an established couple, but he inserted himself

425
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,280
and he confessed to die, how he had been feeling.

426
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,280
And I saw this on Reddit.

427
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:15,120
So I can't claim it for myself, but his letter to die was essentially Shawn Mendes' treat

428
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,720
you better song.

429
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,120
Here are some of the lyrics from that song.

430
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:32,000
And I'm gonna treat you better than he can, than any girl can deserve.

431
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,800
I mean, anyway, Ikuo is not wrong.

432
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,800
Ikuo, right?

433
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:36,800
Yes.

434
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,800
Like Ikuo is right.

435
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,800
His letter is right.

436
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,280
Shawn treats die shitty.

437
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,600
And we'll talk about it in their section.

438
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,200
But Ikuo is 100% right.

439
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,560
And I believe him when he's like, I wouldn't treat you like that.

440
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,560
Yes.

441
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:51,560
Nobody should.

442
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,560
Yeah, you don't deserve that.

443
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,120
I think he's just young still.

444
00:19:54,120 --> 00:20:00,840
And I think he learned, I'm sure, a lot from being in this house and learned how to interject

445
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,520
in people's relationships or not to.

446
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:09,560
But he also like Ryota gave it his last shot, wrote a letter, read it out loud.

447
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,200
And you know, we call him young, but actually he's the one with the best advice for die.

448
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,040
Actually, everybody else is kind of still pushing them together.

449
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,280
But even despite what they're seeing in terms of like the toxicity of what's happening.

450
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,680
And Ikuo is the only one that's like, no, man.

451
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,680
Yeah.

452
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,680
And it's not me.

453
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,680
It doesn't have to be me.

454
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,680
Yeah.

455
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,680
It's just shouldn't be Shawn.

456
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:38,040
There was a scene where Shun got upset at die about something dumb, dumb.

457
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:43,480
But it was making the atmosphere in the green room really uncomfortable and everybody was

458
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,680
feeling the tension.

459
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,040
Shun was refusing to talk to die.

460
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,880
Everyone's conversations had to be around them.

461
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,880
Yeah.

462
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,720
Die was taking everybody outside talking about what was going on.

463
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,400
And Ikuo went to Shun and was like, you need to resolve this.

464
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,040
I think where he went wrong was you need to resolve this in front of everyone.

465
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,280
I was like, in what world would that be normal?

466
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,960
That's like, if you had an argument with your husband, it's like, let's gather the

467
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,680
masses and we're all going to judge.

468
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,840
Our closest friends are going to come over and stay in a room.

469
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,840
Yeah.

470
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,080
And we're going to judge who is right here.

471
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,080
Yes.

472
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,080
That'd be so uncomfortable.

473
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,120
And die gets upset about that.

474
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:24,160
And I think they were using, die was almost using Ikuo as a scapegoat in this situation

475
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,680
because he really should be mad at Shun.

476
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,240
But he was upset because he's like, don't interfere in our relationship.

477
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,560
But Ikuo was like, I'm doing this for us.

478
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,600
Like it's, we're all uncomfortable around you guys.

479
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,040
Let's release attention.

480
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,880
He really got the short end of the stick.

481
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Like, yeah, maybe he didn't do it the best way, but all of a sudden like Shun's not

482
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,720
the bad guy anymore.

483
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,120
It's Ikuo was the bad guy.

484
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,120
Like what the heck?

485
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:51,440
So yeah, Ikuo shot his shot with die, made some good points to die, but die tells him.

486
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,760
I'm all in for Shun.

487
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:59,680
Die said to Ikuo though that if in the beginning he was quite attracted to Ikuo.

488
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,880
So it makes me wonder if Ikuo was there from the beginning, would that have been the relationship

489
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:04,880
that lasted?

490
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,440
I do think that they're good for each other.

491
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,000
They have really positive energy.

492
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Yeah.

493
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
I feel like when they do this thing, when they bring in the late member, it never works

494
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
out.

495
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Right.

496
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,680
Nobody, everything's already too set.

497
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,680
I wonder why they do that.

498
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,680
Yeah.

499
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,480
And there's something about like bringing in this outsider later that makes them, you

500
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,840
know, as like this kind of mom mentality, you treat that person as sort of the outsider,

501
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,720
the enemy, you know, and so it's easy to ostracize and villainize this person.

502
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,720
Right.

503
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,560
I think he leaned into it a little bit because he was trying so hard, but it was unfair to

504
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,560
him.

505
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,920
So goodbye to Ikuo.

506
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,680
So let's talk about the two end game couples that ended up leaving the house together.

507
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Kazuto with three days left in the house, he gets the truck shift and he picks Alan

508
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:53,520
again.

509
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,440
They do their shift and they are at like a restaurant after the shift and they're talking

510
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,560
and Kazuto kind of almost has like a goodbye breakup.

511
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:07,200
I actually held up my translator app to the computer because I was like, is this being

512
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,360
translated in the right way?

513
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:14,400
Because the words that were being said versus the way he was saying it didn't jive for me.

514
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,400
Yeah.

515
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,440
Was it being translated properly?

516
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,440
It said, I'm so hungry.

517
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,680
So I was like, okay, this translator app is no good.

518
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,160
But it did basically say what was being said.

519
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,160
So I don't know.

520
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,160
I don't know if it's demeanor.

521
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,160
He looked like very down.

522
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,160
Yeah.

523
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,160
So he was saying it like a guy who's breaking up.

524
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,160
Yeah.

525
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,880
Alan seemed to be taking it like a guy who's getting broken up with.

526
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:36,880
Yeah.

527
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:37,880
Yeah.

528
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,320
Kazuto says he's thinking about life after the house.

529
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,680
He's still not sure what to do, but he's still processing it all.

530
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,960
And he's like, I'm very slow to fall in love.

531
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,320
Also one point I'd like to make.

532
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,880
I am not Japanese and I studied Japanese like over 20 years ago.

533
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,720
So I'm not the expert on this, but I have seen some things where in Japanese saying

534
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,440
I love you is like a huge thing.

535
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,400
Like it's not said really ever.

536
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,880
And so when they translate to I love you, that's actually not what it is.

537
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,040
It's just like, oh, I really like you.

538
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,000
You know, but it comes off so strong to say I love the translation is I love you, but

539
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,240
that's actually not what they're saying.

540
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,240
I see.

541
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,320
They're the last and the house to say goodbye.

542
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,640
And so the two of them are remaining.

543
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,960
And at this point, Kazuto has already been confessed to again.

544
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,160
He's just ready to leave this house.

545
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,280
He's like, my cab is getting charged.

546
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,280
Double time.

547
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,280
What did you think?

548
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,880
You think he was going to leave with Alan?

549
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:40,320
I thought he was going to leave with Alan for the sake of Alan's feelings.

550
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,880
But I wasn't confident that they, their relationship would continue.

551
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,520
So they do leave the house together.

552
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,360
The way that he's talking to Alan makes it seem like he's not a hundred percent confident,

553
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,080
but he's like, but I want to do all of these things with you.

554
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:00,120
I want to go and make memories and like live our daily life together, but he doesn't seem

555
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:03,480
sure that there's much more for them.

556
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,920
So they get to leave together.

557
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,480
Kazuto says to Alan, everyone's gone, but if we leave together, we won't be lonely.

558
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,880
It was just like a very nice way to end the show.

559
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,160
Like those are very lovely words.

560
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,200
And they're holding hands, interlocking fingers.

561
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,640
That was, that was a moment when I thought, oh, maybe they will last because Kazuto looks

562
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,740
so happy.

563
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:27,840
So we know now after the show, they are not together.

564
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,320
They are not.

565
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,440
There is a reunion episode on YouTube.

566
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,440
Yes.

567
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,440
It's like 11 minutes long.

568
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,440
It's very fast.

569
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,600
It's like all the guys, I watched it.

570
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,600
Oh, you did.

571
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,720
It's all the guys that are just watching the first three episodes together.

572
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,840
And it's very cute because there's some shocking moments like when Ryota like says he like

573
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,160
shun and like, I can't say can't believe it.

574
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,640
Oh my gosh, I have to watch that.

575
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,840
And Usak's back and it's nice to see Usak.

576
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:50,840
Okay.

577
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,680
So then I saw the theory on Reddit is that Kazuto and Yusuke.

578
00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:02,320
Yusuke may have gotten together because the sleuths, the internet sleuths have found them

579
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,680
posting pictures separately on their Instagram of them in front of Tower Records.

580
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,680
Oh yeah.

581
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,680
Multiple places.

582
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,680
Multiple places.

583
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,680
We're in the same bracelet.

584
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:11,680
Yeah.

585
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,440
It's like very chunky metal interlocking kind of chain.

586
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,400
So it's very noticeable.

587
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,400
And the dates.

588
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Yes.

589
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,280
Like they post it within one or two days of each other.

590
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,720
And then apparently Kazuto went in and deleted all of those pictures.

591
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,640
If you go in Instagram now, they're not there anymore because so many people are speculating.

592
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,680
But it was suspicious because they were like in Bali or some tropical place.

593
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,680
Oh yeah.

594
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,680
Paris.

595
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,680
They're in Paris.

596
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,680
That's right.

597
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,680
They were in Paris.

598
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,680
There's no way it's a coincidence.

599
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,560
So either they're very good friends, but I think the bracelet makes it feel like they're

600
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,560
a couple.

601
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,760
Gosh, that would make me so happy.

602
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:48,440
So then on Reddit, I did a lot of Reddit trolling last night and somebody was doing what you

603
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,440
do, the fanfic.

604
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,080
Imagine Usak walking in at breakfast next week, just oversized t-shirt and his little

605
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,360
shorts, freshly shaved and showered while Kazuto is making eggs in the kitchen, drops

606
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:03,360
his bag and says, baby, daddy needs his chicky smoothie.

607
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:12,400
I know the blender at their house must be on overdrive because actually if you so Kazuto

608
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,160
comes out on the reunion, he's definitely gained weight.

609
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,440
But I think he's bulked up.

610
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,440
So it feels like maybe.

611
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Oh, I think he's been drinking some chicky smoothies.

612
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,240
Yeah.

613
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,720
And working out with Usak, his face is definitely filled out and he looks great.

614
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,920
So hopefully he's found happiness with somebody.

615
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:30,920
It sounds like it might be Usak.

616
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:31,920
Just a very cool ending.

617
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,480
They're just like good friends hanging out.

618
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,480
That would make me very happy.

619
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,480
Yeah.

620
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,280
But then why would you have to delete your posts?

621
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,280
Maybe they broke up.

622
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,280
I don't know.

623
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,720
I do have a co-worker who watched Kazuto's gay porn.

624
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,480
Oh, what was the review?

625
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,000
He said it was awkward because Kazuto looked so young.

626
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,080
He was like, he must have been maybe 18.

627
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Yes.

628
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,000
That was what I saw on Reddit where he looked like he just freshly came from the farm.

629
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,000
From the rice paddy.

630
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Yeah.

631
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,720
So he was like, it was actually kind of uncomfortable to watch.

632
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,680
He was just like, it was just tough to watch because he was so young looking.

633
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,680
So that's hard.

634
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,200
That's hard for Kazuto that is like now out there.

635
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,600
But we get a nice ending for him both on the show and hopefully in real life.

636
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,600
Okay.

637
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,120
Now we got to talk about the real hot mess here.

638
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:21,120
Shun and Die.

639
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,160
You know, I was like, okay, episodes nine and 10, we're going to wrap it up.

640
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,880
What more can happen?

641
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,440
Of course, just when we thought he could be loved, just when we thought he could be tolerated.

642
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,800
He just shows us still he's the worst.

643
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,600
Shun and Die had an overnight.

644
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,600
They come back.

645
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,080
The boys are all eating.

646
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,760
And now it's their usual post date night Q&A.

647
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000
They're peppering them with questions.

648
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000
What do I do?

649
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Did you do it?

650
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Did you do it?

651
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,560
And then Shun goes, we slept.

652
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:49,560
Yeah.

653
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,560
I need a translation for that.

654
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,560
Yeah.

655
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,520
And Alan's like, no, we had sex and he's like, yeah, we had sex.

656
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,000
I mean, do you think they did?

657
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Oh, 100% right?

658
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,200
There's no way they went from that passionate kiss to go back to your separate bed.

659
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,200
Yeah.

660
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,200
This isn't a K drama.

661
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,200
Right.

662
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,200
You can passion a kiss and then just leave.

663
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,560
But he's so open about it and Die is kind of blushing a little bit.

664
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:10,560
He's very embarrassed.

665
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,360
It's so funny because Alan's like, no, they didn't.

666
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,360
He's lying.

667
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,360
There's no way.

668
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,960
I was like, are you trying to stay face here?

669
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,080
I don't understand why Alan wouldn't believe they slept together, especially because Alan

670
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,920
has slept with Die.

671
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,240
So Alan knows that Die is a pretty and easy lay.

672
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,480
Let's just say, right?

673
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,760
Maybe he was just trying to preserve their image for them.

674
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Yes.

675
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,480
So it seems like, you know, everyone's happy and smiling.

676
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,080
They seem so happy.

677
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,400
Maybe literally the next scene.

678
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,040
It was all of a sudden you see Shun and Die eating in separate places.

679
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,560
This is when Die comes to Tehyeon and is like, I don't know what he did.

680
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,560
I don't know what's going on.

681
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,560
He's upset about something.

682
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,440
Everybody, you know, is sitting in that seated area and they're all planning out their day.

683
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,040
Kazuto, of course, wants to go sauna.

684
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,720
And Shun, he says, can I be on my own?

685
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,520
And then the other guys are like from us.

686
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,360
And he's like, no, just that one pointing to Die.

687
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,360
And they're like, me?

688
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,600
What the heck did I do?

689
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,920
Alan says, if you have something upsetting you, you can say it in front of all of us.

690
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,720
Shun says, it's a hassle.

691
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:16,720
It's a hassle.

692
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,720
That's his line.

693
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,720
That's his thing.

694
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,920
If it's a hassle, he cannot be bothered.

695
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,280
I mean, this is somebody who has deep trauma.

696
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:30,600
Has no emotional ability to like deal with hardship, hardship, any conflict.

697
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,080
We find out later in some ways as a test.

698
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,080
It is so tiring.

699
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,800
It's so tiring to be around somebody like that.

700
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,440
Even Ikuo's face, literally he was drinking a cup of water and his face, the camera catches

701
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,880
him like, oh my God.

702
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,280
He like basically rolls his eyes.

703
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,280
Does he?

704
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,280
I have to rewind to see that.

705
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,280
Oh my God.

706
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,720
He's so just over this guy.

707
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,800
Even Die is like, I'm over this.

708
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Yeah.

709
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,800
Like you can come tell me when you're ready.

710
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:53,800
But of course later.

711
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,640
Well, and then Die, he tells, tells the rest of the group.

712
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,120
He's like, I know it's an easy thing to go over me like what is wrong, you know, he, he

713
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,600
has kind of figured out why Shun is upset because Die refused to wear a t-shirt that

714
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,080
Shun asked him to wear.

715
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,080
So he's telling the guys this.

716
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,520
And he's like, I know that's why he's upset, but also why am I always the one that has

717
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,920
to go and apologize?

718
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,920
It's never him.

719
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Yeah.

720
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,760
And I think he's, that's a valid point.

721
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:20,760
Yeah.

722
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:21,760
No.

723
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:22,760
Cause Shun is insufferable.

724
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,040
All of it is just like stupid.

725
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,800
Ikuo tries to get in the middle of it.

726
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,160
We've kind of talked about it already.

727
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,760
He's now become the bad guy.

728
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,880
Shun now is like somehow take the heat taken off of Shun, even though he's just completely

729
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,360
exhausting and ruining the last few days for everybody else.

730
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,000
I mean, like Taehyun is so bored.

731
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,560
There's a scene of him just napping on the floor.

732
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:43,560
Yeah.

733
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,200
I saw Kaseito and Taehyun just passed out on the floor.

734
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,600
I was like, Taehyun is us.

735
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,600
Yeah.

736
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,520
You know, cause it's so boring.

737
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,240
Die just again comes crawling back to him and says, I want to know why you have an attitude

738
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,240
with me.

739
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,160
He goes, my ex wore my shirts.

740
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,280
You should wear my shirts.

741
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,520
That is a sign of love.

742
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,520
Okay.

743
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:10,280
Rule number one, don't compare your current relationship with your ex.

744
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,720
And obviously you have no idea what signs of love really are.

745
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,600
Like if you think wear a T-shirt, T-shirt is the ultimate sign of someone's affection

746
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,600
for you.

747
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,880
You've got a lot of lessons to learn.

748
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,440
Die just looks at him with rose colored glasses.

749
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,280
I worry for Die.

750
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:32,160
I worry for him because he is so gentle and sweet with him.

751
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,040
And you know, to his credit, he tries very hard to meet Shun where he is.

752
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,240
I think he recognizes that Shun is broken.

753
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,600
And he's like, Oh, I have to remember you're very delicate.

754
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,440
Like die, you are a hero.

755
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,240
He's just going to be his babysitter.

756
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,880
But yes, this is going to harm you in the long run.

757
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,880
Yeah.

758
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,400
He's just going to have to take care of this person and their ups and downs forever.

759
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,960
And it's going to tire him out eventually.

760
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,720
Doesn't bode well.

761
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,560
But we do know that they're still together.

762
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,520
They have a YouTube channel.

763
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,520
Oh, they do.

764
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,520
Like million views.

765
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,520
Of course.

766
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,440
I mean, they are a great looking couple to look at.

767
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,640
I mean, the vlog I watched was subbing.

768
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,080
And I mean, if you're a fan of them, I just hate Shun so much.

769
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,080
I don't care.

770
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,080
But you know, they're like vlogging.

771
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,480
They're like going and traveling and stuff.

772
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,680
And it's lovely.

773
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,160
But and they seem very happy actually.

774
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,240
And Shun has kind of like gotten a haircut.

775
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,440
He looks maybe a little healthier.

776
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,440
I don't know.

777
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,440
He seems to be in a better place.

778
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,440
But yeah.

779
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,640
But what I have noticed, I haven't seen that, but I've seen clip.

780
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,880
I guess what I've seen on TikTok are clips of that.

781
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,600
But I was thinking Shun is so clingy to die.

782
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,200
He's on like physically on him in every shot.

783
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,560
And I was like, it makes me uncomfortable.

784
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:57,800
So those two leave the house happily ever after onto YouTube influencer income.

785
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,440
They go.

786
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:06,360
The ultimate golden ticket right from these reality shows is you find love and you get

787
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,360
a YouTube channel.

788
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,360
Yes.

789
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,360
So that was it.

790
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,760
That was the end of the show.

791
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,840
We had a lot of people find themselves people making friendships.

792
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,040
They definitely all hang out.

793
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,920
There's a lot of Instagrams and TikToks of them hanging out.

794
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,480
I saw one Alan, Gensai, Ryota were hanging out.

795
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,320
Gensai welcomed Ryota to Taiwan.

796
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,320
I saw that too.

797
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,280
So they definitely seemingly are still good friends.

798
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,160
It did seem like they established some strong friendships when it was Shun's turn to do

799
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:44,080
the coffee truck and him and die where it was a last coffee run and the entire house

800
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,000
comes to meet them and help them sell coffee.

801
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,120
I cried because they're such a sweet friendship.

802
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,640
Gaining a lot of courage to be able to tell people how they really felt, which I'm sure

803
00:34:53,640 --> 00:35:01,440
is tough not only as being Japanese and part of that culture, but also being gay in Japan.

804
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,480
So they don't feel as open to be telling people how they're feeling.

805
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,600
Yeah, I feel like felt like a lot of them were like, Oh, I finally had the courage to

806
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,560
say what I really feel.

807
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,560
Yeah.

808
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,560
So that was beautiful.

809
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,080
I also really loved the music.

810
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,760
The music was so good.

811
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,120
Have you seen to all the boys I've loved before?

812
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,600
I've not that that synthy music is very to all the boys and I love to all the boys.

813
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,040
And it just very reminds you of like youth and friendship and love.

814
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,040
Right?

815
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,120
Yeah, there's that ending song that they always end with that like makes me feel like

816
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,600
I'm on the beach.

817
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,800
They did a great job with the music.

818
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,840
Yeah, there were lyrics that came up that I actually wrote down.

819
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,880
It was when Ryota was crying, but it said from painted eyeballs, we gain new sight.

820
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,160
And I feel like a lot of them that was very fitting for a lot of them.

821
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,800
They left the house very different than when they entered it.

822
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:50,800
Yeah.

823
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,960
And it was fun to watch.

824
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,200
So that's it for us on The Boyfriend.

825
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,680
Do we do a one last Mary?

826
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:57,680
One last.

827
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:03,480
I mean, look, these last two episodes, I think there were some different sides that we saw.

828
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,200
So maybe we have something new to say.

829
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,360
Who would you marry?

830
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,760
I would marry Alan.

831
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,200
I think I've said that before, but Alan was very wise.

832
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,200
I know.

833
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,040
Actually, that was one thing I had meant to say.

834
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:20,240
When the shouldn't die conflict came about, Alan was actually the one who brought them

835
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:21,240
together.

836
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:24,000
Because being kind is a magical power.

837
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Don't forget your kindness.

838
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
And that's amazing of yourself.

839
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,160
And be kind to die.

840
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,360
And that was such good advice because a lot of times in conflict with your romantic partner,

841
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,360
you're like, no, F you, you're the one that should come apologize or why should I do

842
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,360
that?

843
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:44,440
But when you take it, when you take the approach of being, seeing your partner with kind eyes

844
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,960
and you're like trying to be empathetic to what they're going through, then it softens

845
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,440
your heart a lot of times.

846
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,200
And I feel like Alan has just this beautiful spirit about him.

847
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,920
He's so empathetic.

848
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,840
And he was also so kind to equal.

849
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,680
I think there was this, this again, villainizing of equal in that moment.

850
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,960
But Alan went up to him and he said, you are kind.

851
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,760
I know you had good intentions.

852
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,760
He's the most.

853
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,760
You know, he's just kind of like the most, but I like the way he showed up for everybody

854
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,120
in the last two episodes.

855
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,800
In a similar way, I think I would marry Taehyung.

856
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,400
Also very keep it in the Korean bloodline.

857
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,680
Exactly, I want to keep it pure.

858
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,040
But he was so mature, you know, and very well grounded.

859
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,920
So I love that he was such a good friend to everyone and I love seeing that.

860
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:32,920
Yeah.

861
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:33,920
He has good vibes.

862
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:34,920
F.

863
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,040
I don't, yeah, I don't know.

864
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:41,800
I think sometimes when you see too much of people, you just like come over them.

865
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,000
And then kill.

866
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,600
It has to be slinky lizard again.

867
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,600
I'm sorry.

868
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,600
He was too much.

869
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,720
He's not redeemable.

870
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:53,000
If he had fallen for Gensae, yes, that would, I could have seen it differently.

871
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,960
It would have turned his character around.

872
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,480
So we wrap up the boyfriend.

873
00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:59,480
What's next?

874
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,480
What do you want to do next?

875
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,480
There's a drama.

876
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,960
I am super into the reality show genre.

877
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:06,960
This is my vibe.

878
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:12,520
I know we've done a few dramas and it's like almost like a refreshing drink of water to

879
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,440
have a little reality show.

880
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,680
So I think we should do another one.

881
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,480
So our two choices are there is a drama called Love Next Door.

882
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,480
It's on Netflix.

883
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,960
It is our favorite guy.

884
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:22,960
Junghain?

885
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:23,960
Yes.

886
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,480
Just looking cute.

887
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,800
Feels very just like romance drama.

888
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,840
I don't know if I have the stomach for it right now.

889
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:30,840
I don't.

890
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,840
I don't.

891
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:32,840
I need time travel.

892
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,840
I need, you know, death.

893
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,920
I need a table of family.

894
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,440
So I don't know if just like girl next door loves.

895
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,440
Yes.

896
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:43,440
Does not excite me.

897
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,040
So there is a reality show called Popstar Academy.

898
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,040
Yes.

899
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,040
Oh, you know what?

900
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:54,800
This is actually interesting because it's about the girl group that HYBE is creating.

901
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,240
International girl group.

902
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:58,440
And there is so much controversy right now with HYBE.

903
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,800
Did you see the recent thing with New Genes?

904
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:00,800
Yeah.

905
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,240
And they came out on a press or like a YouTube channel.

906
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:04,240
Yes.

907
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:05,960
They're like reading from handwritten notes.

908
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:06,960
Yeah.

909
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,120
And they keep looking at the corner of their eye at somebody.

910
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,320
I don't know what's going on.

911
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,520
But they were telling HYBE you better reinstate our previous CEO by the 25th, making all these

912
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,520
threats.

913
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,320
So but it's been taken down, I think.

914
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:20,320
Has it?

915
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,320
I think it's been deleted.

916
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,320
That video.

917
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,320
Yeah.

918
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:28,320
But that adding that layer to this reality show will also make it very interesting.

919
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,320
Yeah.

920
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,320
I've heard it's good.

921
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,320
Okay.

922
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,320
It's called Popstar Academy cat's eye.

923
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,320
And it's on Netflix.

924
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,320
It is on Netflix.

925
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,320
Yeah.

926
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,320
So we'll start that.

927
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,320
Okay.

928
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,320
All right.

929
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,320
Next week.

930
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,320
We're going to be doing a second episode.

931
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,720
That means we've been doing this for one year.

932
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:46,840
That is crazy.

933
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,520
Isn't that crazy?

934
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,720
You don't look a day older than when we started this.

935
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:53,720
Your hair is different.

936
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:57,160
I mean, my, I don't know about you, but I tend to be like, well, I'm kind of over this.

937
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,160
I'm moving on.

938
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,160
Right.

939
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,720
So I'm proud of us for sticking it out.

940
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:02,720
Yeah.

941
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:06,960
For me, it's like a way to just have a creative outlet every week, like even just doing these

942
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,560
write ups, structuring a thought out essay.

943
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:15,280
Basically, I get to see your face and talk to you every week and definitely think it's

944
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,960
fun and I am proud of us for sticking with it.

945
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,760
So we'll, we'll celebrate more next week, but until then be watching some cat's eye.

946
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,760
Yeah.

947
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,760
Have a great week.

948
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,960
Be well and we'll talk to you next week.

949
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,960
Bye.

950
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:37,960
Bye.
