Whether you like it or not, Gwan-hee is the main character this season.
Personally, I think the drama around Gwan-hee is starting to feel a little dragged out.
It wont feel meaningful if he stays conflicted up until the last second.
Is his heart really swayed so easily, or is he just trying to create some suspense for TV?
As the winner of last weeks race, Gwan-hee has first pick for Paradise dates.
He chooses Min-ji partly because he wants to get back at Hye-seon for picking Won-ik before.
(Side note: This will be his third date with someone whos ten years younger.
Is Netflix allergic to casting a woman in her 30s, or what?)
Min-kyus feelings havent changed.
He picks Gyu-ri, who would rather stay in Inferno with Min-woo.
Won-ik chooses Si-eun, tragically separating her from Min-woo for the third night in a row.
Meanwhile, Min-young confesses shes interested only in Jin-seok.
But hes playing hard to get, which I support!
It is worth noting that in Paradise, Min-ji tells Gwan-hee that shes not interested in Jin-seok.
Over in Paradise, its not looking good for Won-ik or Min-kyu.
Si-eun carefully and diplomatically explains that she hasnt had a chance to talk to Min-woo because of Won-ik.
Although Min-ji fields Gwan-hees questions about Jin-seok, their conversation is more focused on each other.
Gwan-hee updates his description of his ideal bang out to be a cute, affectionate person with big eyes.
Thats me, Min-ji says.
It normally takes years for him to share this much, he says.
Poor things have no idea that Gwan-hee is over in Paradise putting Min-ji in an affectionate headlock.
Later, a group conversation on Inferno has a couple of charged moments.
Jin-seok is asked to describe Ha-jeong and Hye-seons vibes.
When Min-young says What about me?
the conversation flows forward without Jin-seok answering.
He does, however, do his Ha-jeong impression again no notes there.
And just like that, a week has passed.
Hye-seon starts to feel a little competitive just in time for the next round of games.
Si-eun is so desperate for a chance to pick Min-woo that she cheats and uses her arms.
But in the end, Hye-seon, Ha-jeong, and Min-ji win the preliminary rounds.
This means the final match is a Lee Gwan-hee Derby, as a grinning Gwan-hee describes in a confessional.
Whatever the outcome, Ill be going to Paradise today, he says.
Min-ji is eliminated first, Ha-jeong trips and places second, and Hye-seon wins.
Min-woo finds Si-eun for a chat.
I want to point out that Si-eun has a habit of touching her hair when shes flustered.
Min-woo says in a confessional that hes choosing Si-eun because of how honest she is about her feelings.
Thats sweet, but it makes me wonder how deep their connection actually is.
What will he do if Gyu-ri shares her feelings in the same way?
Speaking of opening up, Min-ji gives Gwan-hee a letter that reads, Theres no one else for me.
If she cant pick him, she says shell either take Min-kyu or Jin-seok to Paradise.
Gwan-hee confusingly reasons that Jin-seok would give him an honest debrief.
Plus, he knows Jin-seok likes her and would be okay with competing man to man.
Its not the most compelling argument.
Ha-jeong is confused: She thought he likes direct women who take the initiative and express themselves.
Unfortunately, that seems to apply only when Gwan-hee likes what is being expressed.
Despite Ha-jeongs best efforts, this feels like a breakup.
Too bad its not up to him because Hye-seon picks Gwan-hee.
They dont hold hands as they walk off, though.
Ha-jeong picks Ha-bin, which hopefully means hell get some screen time next week.
Min-ji goes against Gwan-hees advice and picks Min-kyu.
Perhaps thats why Gwan-hee brushes her off when she starts tapping him on the helicopter.
Min-ji is so hurt that she has to wipe her tears on Min-kyus shirt.
This is one of the rare times when Im on Gwan-hees side.
But initially, hes anxious to hear how she feels about Won-ik.
You have a way of moving me.
Their date ends on a cliffhanger, with him asking if she wants to sleep in the same bed.
Just kidding … unless?
Of course, nothing can be easy onSingles Inferno.
The preview shows Min-ji happily talking about dating Gwan-hee after the show.
Gwan-hee tells the guys that Min-ji is more his ideal punch in but Hye-seon is more marriage material.
Once again, were ending the week with no solid couples in sight.
