Romantic and The Idol Season 2 Episode 4



Episode 3 ended with the start of the mid-selections.  Everyone sitting to watch the videos they shot at the aquarium which would show who they like so far.  They only showed Jiwon's selection... Minhyuk.

The start of the 4th episode, sheesh...showed the dinner before the mid-selection.  What a way to prolong the selection. Darn PD.  hahaha.  Then they showed each video.

Jiwon, who was sitting next to Yewon, picked Minhyuk, who looked surprised.  How awkward for Yewon to see that especially when Jiwon started to lean on her giggling and embarrassed.

Eunyeong, picked N. Her video was cute because it looked like she was trying to video behind her and focusing on either Jonghoon then maybe Kevin then N.  Finally it stops at N. He looked really happy.

G.Na picked, of course, Jonghoon.  And Yewon picked Minhyuk.  Jonghoon looked disappointed but he said he wasn't, just flustered.

The guys picks were:

First, Kevin picked Jiwon.  Then N picked Eunyeong  Yea! A real couple who chose each other. Next is Jonghoon who picked, who else? Yewon.  Finally, Minhyuk picked Yewon.

After that, you could expect awkward moments together afterwards. What really struck me as kind of disappointing was a brief interview with Jonghoon.  The PD asked what if he never gets Yewon as a partner. He said that he would stay solo, he doesn't have a second choice.  I hope he has a change of heart later in the show or he'll lose his opportunity in dating different girls, which is the point of the show.

Next morning, Date#4, the sweater selection. The girls selected sweaters and the guys had to choose which style that they liked. Jonghoon, Minhyuk and N all picked the same sweater and had to do rock-paper-scissors to choose the sweater.

N got Jiwon, Kevin got Eunyeong, Minhyuk got G.Na and Jonghoon got Yewon.

The sweater selection finally got the couples all mixed up and they got to experience going out with other people.

G.Na, who had her pride hurt since JH didn't pick her as his mid-selection, wanted to date someone else.  Yewon, said she wanted to date Jonghoon since she liked both Minhyuk and Jonghoon evenly and wanted to date JH once.  Also, I think, her pride was a little hurt because Minhyuk treated Jiwon the same as her.

Minhyuk said that he wanted to try and date all the girls to get to know them more.  I think he has the right idea.  I wish Jonghoon would be less focused on Yewon and be more opened to the other girls.  At one point he even told Minhyuk that he should not be acting so nice and close to each girl or they would get the wrong idea.  It almost sounded like Jonghoon was also telling Minhyuk to pick one now and not lead the others on.  Aish! Isn't this a dating show, where you're suppose to date others and then have a final choice?  Hopefully, the guy and girl pick the same person?

I am getting frustrated with Jonghoon but I can understand where he's coming from.  Hopefully his date with Yewon will get him less obsessed and open up to the other girls.

Kevin, sigh... I hope he learns to date here.  He said that he wasn't disappointed by not being picked by anyone for the mid-selection but I think anyone would be just a little bit disappointed.  It looks like he knows that he needs to improve on his dating skills since he never dated before and he's using this show to learn how.

Well, looks like the raw footage for Episode 5 is out.  I hope the English sub will be out soon too.    Cross your fingers!
