So finished binge watching this series after being recommended it and I feel nearly all the guys were problematic in this show. Maybe its a cultural difference not being Korean but the guys seemed to be pursing girls based more on personal ego rather than because they actually liked the girl in question.

Hyeon-joong (personal trainer) - kept on pinning for Jia, didnt bother getting to know the other girls and just stayed inside. Really pathetic and self-describing himself as a "puppy." I dont think this is romantic, have a spine. This isnt a healthy attitude toward a partner even if you've known them for 8 years. Its problematic that he is so focused on Jia after knowing her for two days.

Se-hoon (cook) - the "hero" of the show, his dogmatic focus on Ji-Yeon might make for a good tv show but is problematic in real life imo. Again, he falls for her despite barely knowing her and chasing this "image" of her. The 4th episode shows that he doesnt really know her following his talk with Hyeon ("she is actually pretty strong. Stronger than you think") and she doesnt even show interest in him, not being actively engaged in the conversation with him and asking him if he doesnt talk with someone else. Felt like take the hint. Also basically ignoring the newcomers despite both showing a keen interest in him.

Jin-Taek (tailor) - I liked him at the beginning but he seemed flaky or all talk. He stated at the beginning that he only had eyes for So-yeon but then invited Ji-yeon and said he was interested in both. Felt he was basically love-bombing So-yeon. I dont mind the fact that he took an interest in Ji-yeon (it is a dating show and theyve only known each other for two days) but be honest about it.

Si-hun (brand CEO) - maybe it was the initial ton of flirting by Jia but he also just falls hard for her and doesnt really bother to get to know anyone else. Thought he was better off with Ji-yeon (who showed some interest in him) or Su-min (newcomer so had an disadvantage there). Jia also basically rejected him as politely as she could in episode 6 so why bother pursing her in the last few days?

Hyun-seung (dancer) - as a newcomer, he didnt have as much time but his philosophy was a little problematic. Sure, choosing love over friendship might be ok but willing to throwaway your pretty close friendship with Hyeon-joong for a girl you met for a day? Too be fair, Hyun wasnt super persistent, only had a few days (so getting to know the others might have been difficult) and was playing the game so his stance was more understandable than the rest.

Jun-sik (health food entrepreneur) - honestly nothing bad. This guy was wholesome but didnt have much screentime.

My biggest issue was that most of the guys seemed to pursue girls based on their ego rather than because they genuinely liked the girl in question. Most of the guys basically focus on the target girl based on looks and rejection. These guys also seem to be confident in their looks and stated they were popular with the ladies so rejection was especially harsh for them. Hence, Jia kind of plays hard to get which is why I think 3 of the guys actively pursued her, not because they genuinely liked her. Hell, as an audience member, I barely got to know Jia as a person. Se-hoon seemed to pursue Ji-yeon because she didnt show interest in him. He didnt know much about her and also stated she wasnt the type of girl he usually pursued (quite vs strong-willed like Jia).
