I absolutely loved His Man 2, and had nobody to shriek with over the truly delightful romance it gave us, so I would love to hear more of your thoughts if you want to share them at some point!

Oh hi anon! Yes I will shriek about it!

Let me start by being clear: I don’t ship real people and I don’t generally like reality TV. I started watching this kind of begrudgingly at the request of a friend, but by the end of episode 1 my romance brain clicked in and I was captivated because I recognize a slow burn romance narrative when I see one! And that’s what I love about this show—this is a real story, with a clear plot, recognizable beats, masterful pacing and excellent character reveals. The people who made this are writing and editing wizards to pull this from reality TV performers.

I am speaking primarily of course about the romance between Jun Seong and Seong Ho, which is clearly the main narrative of this show. I’m only through the first four episodes, but let’s sum up:

They meet on a three way date with Seon Woo, and it seems they are both more into him than each other. But then they end up ROOMMATES and spend the whole first episode bonding before the first round of phone calls, at which point it’s revealed that Jun Seong has actually had his eye on Seong Ho the whole time, while Seong Ho thinks there’s no chemistry and they’re just besties. Masterful.

The other housemates start commenting on their unusual closeness as they spend most of their time hanging out together in their room. Seong Ho continues to think he likes Seon Woo even as he spends most of his time with Jun Seong. Jun Seong is playing a long game here and I respect it. I see you, my guy.

Jun Seong goes on his date while Seong Ho is forced to stay home alone, and when Jun Seong returns with wooing gifts for his crush and realizes Seong Ho is gone, he low key loses his mind, and his jealousy and irritation are clear when Seong Ho returns from a date with a new guy. Delicious.

After their day of dating with other people, they both make the same phone calls as day one, and this time Jun Seong says explicitly that he wants to go on a date with Seong Ho! Seong Ho, having already gotten all giggly over his wooing gifts, is surprised but also kinda delighted?? Nothing but respect for Jun Seong’s game. And don’t think I didn’t notice that song from The Eighth Sense playing on the soundtrack. I see you, show.

Jun Seong misses his chance to grab a mission card and then spends the day berating himself while Seong Ho finally gets his date with Seon Woo. He’s depressed and sad for the whole episode thinking Seong Ho is off falling for someone else and doesn’t care about him. But then, what is this on his pillow? Seong Ho left him a sweet note before leaving on his date. Jun Seong (and Shan) swoons.

Is that not one of the tightest starts to a romance plot you have seen in a minute? Because it absolutely is for me. The way the show paces their relationship development and places the reveals about where each of their heads are at is high art and on par with what you’d see in the best kdrama. I am hooked.

There are of course other storylines here. I am amused by Seon I like to be chosen Woo somehow being in eight different love triangles at once. I feel for Jeong-wook who seems a bit out of his depth. I think Min Seong and Yun Hee are nice dudes. But at this point they’re all just side characters for me. As far as I’m concerned, this is the 2Seong show.
