There's trouble in Paradise.


Netflix / Via Netflix

We left off with the arrival of a mystery new girl, and we return with the boys wasting no time to make her acquaintance.


The boys crane their necks towards the cafeteria and say Netflix / Via Netflix Se-hoon leads the pack, fresh off the heels of a very interesting conversation with So-yeon.

The new girl's name is Kim Su-min, and she's so adorable.

Se-hoon takes charge of the conversation, asking her if she's ever been to Paradise, which she obviously hasn't.


Se-hoon says

The girls approach, all dolled up to meet their competition.

So-yeon approaches and doesn't seem thrilled about the prospect of someone else catching Se-hoon's eye.

It's dinnertime. Discussion of Su-min's arrival ensues, with Jin-taek suggesting she might be Si-hun's type.


Jin-taek says to Si-hun
Jin-taek says to Si-hun Netflix / Via Netflix Si-hun says he's right. Will she be able to sway his interest from Ji-a?

Se-hoon has Su-min close to his side, though. She feels guilty for not helping enough with dinner, but he tells her to relax.

And oddly enough, Ji-yeon does not like that.

Su-min doesn't seem to notice the glares, sticking by Se-hoon's side and even fanning him when he says he's hot.

Netflix / Via Netflix She's so cute, honestly.

And So-yeon also isn't amused by Se-hoon and Su-min's teamwork, making egg soup.

The food looks great, thanks to everyone's team work. But Se-hoon is only interested in one person's opinion.

Netflix / Via Netflix Is he just better at flirting in the kitchen or something?

After dinner, the singles are excited to find that the campfire area has been stocked with drinks and snacks.


Everyone holds a drink up and says

Jin-taek is eager to have So-yeon sit next to him, even asking Ji-yeon to move aside and make room.

Netflix / Via Netflix Ji-yeon is really feeling left out tonight.

And then Hyeon-joong suggests a Q & A session, which gets very intense, very quickly.


Si-hun says
Si-hun says Netflix / Via Netflix The boys ask Su-min what her type is and if anyone there is her ideal type, yes or no. She says yes.

Then SeSu-min wants to know what Se-hoon's ideal type is.

Netflix / Via Netflix Se-hoon says he's attracted to those who can clearly express themselves. So, So-yeon then?

Se-hoon says he wants to pass the question to Si-hun, and asks if there's one specific person he likes.


Si-hun smiles smugly saying

Si-hun asks Hyeon-joong the same question. Things are getting *spicy*.

Netflix / Via Netflix He answers with a simple yes.

Hyeon-joong steps the spice up and asks Ji-a the same question.

Netflix / Via Netflix While she seems a bit bothered, she does answer "Yes."

And Si-hun takes that as a good sign, while Hyeon-joong seems to consider her answer and Si-hun's reaction.

Netflix / Via Netflix Not sure if he should be so confident.

Jia then puts Jin-taek is in the hot seat, but the master of smooth talk refuses to give a straight answer.

Netflix / Via Netflix

His sly response doesn't go over So-yeon or Ji-yeon's heads.

Netflix / Via Netflix

Back in their beds, So-yeon vents to Yea-won, Ji-a and Su-min.

Netflix / Via Netflix She tells everyone about her and Se-hoon originally sent postcards to each other, and asks Su-min if she'd still go for Se-hoon knowing that she wasn't the only one. Su-min says she would.

Meanwhile, Ji-yeon is trying to get attention back from Jin-taek...while they sit with Se-hoon.

But Jin-taek soon gets up, leaving her and Se-hoon alone.

They're not alone for long, though. Yea-won, wingwoman of the year, pulls Su-min out and pushes her to sit in between Ji-yeon and Se-hoon.

Ji-yeon says Su-min if she's tired, and Su-min smiles and asks, "Aren't you?"

And while Si-hun sleeps, Ji-a and Hyeon-joong are chatting by the postboxes.

Netflix / Via Netflix

Jin-taek seeks out So-yeon for a chat, trying to make his intentions more clear. So-yeon makes her feelings clear, too.


So-yeon says
So-yeon says Netflix / Via Netflix I love that she stands her ground and doesn't let him walk all over her.

The next morning at breakfast, though, So-yeon has a small win when her wish for bananas comes true.

Netflix / Via Netflix Cue the "I really want some miso soup. Oh my god, miso soup!" TikTok sound.

The presence of bananas doesn't stop So-yeon from having an apple, which she pares with a knife while Jin-taek tries to avoid her gaze.

After breakfast, Si-hun asks Ji-a to go for a walk with him, but she declines.

Netflix / Via Netflix

So instead, he goes for a walk to get water with Su-min, his second choice.


Si-hun says to Su-min,

So-yeon pulls Hyeon-joong aside to talk, asking his advice on the Jin-taek/Se-hoon situation.


Hyeon-joong says
Hyeon-joong says Netflix / Via Netflix He tells her before she makes any decisions, she should talk to Se-hoon, and offers to grab Se-hoon for her.

He calls for Se-hoon in front of Jin-taek, who was resting, but looks wide awake once he hears that So-yeon is asking for Se-hoon.

Netflix / Via Netflix

Se-hoon says that he actually didn't like her tone in their conversation yesterday, and that admitting to sending her a postcard didn't mean anything.

Netflix / Via Netflix He almost cried?!

So-yeon is pretty annoyed by the way this conversation is going.

Netflix / Via Netflix

Fed up, she finally tells him to just say he's not interested in her and get it over with.

Netflix / Via Netflix

Before the conversation can get even more heated, they're interrupted by an announcement.


The announcement says

Could it be? Another new girl?

Netflix / Via Netflix

It is. Her name is Seong Min-ji.

And awkward–she's wearing the same top as Ji-yeon.

But wait–that's not all!

Netflix / Via Netflix

Surprise! It's a new guy! His name is Cha Hyun-seung.

And apparently, he's not a stranger to everyone.

Netflix / Via Netflix He's a gym buddy of Hyeon-joong's, and was referred by a mutual friend to work with Ji-a, though they'd never met in person before. Interesting!

Hyun-seung says what everyone's thinking.

Then the announcer says all of the newcomers are each going to choose someone to take on a date on a boat today.

Netflix / Via Netflix Min-ji asks all the guys to take off their sunglasses before settling on Se-hoon.

Su-min says she would have chosen Se-hoon if Min-ji hadn't, so instead, she chooses Jun-sik.

So-yeon and Yea-won are not happy with the girls' selections.

And of course, Hyun-seung goes for Ji-a.

Netflix / Via Netflix

Once again, Hyeon-joong is left to laugh at this cruel game.

And once again, we are left not knowing where any couples stand.

This really is a cruel game!

Do you think Hyun-seung will be some real competition? Will one of the new girls win over Se-hoon? Who will Ji-yeon and So-yeon go for? Tell us your predictions in the comments!
