Casamento às Cegas: Japão (2022)

O amor pode ser cego, mas o tédio ficou bem visível.

Confesso que eu não sou uma fã inveterada de reality show, são poucos os que me aguçam a curiosidade a ponto de querer assistir - como foi o caso de ‘Solteiros, Ilhados e Desesperados’, reality que gostei bastante. No caso de ‘Casamento às cegas - JP’, eu já havia assistido a versão americana e brasileira, então, obviamente, eu não perderia a versão oriental.

? O que achei do reality?

Culturalmente falando, foi muito interessante assistir a dinâmica dos casais. Eu já estou bem familiarizada com a cultura oriental, porém, assistir um reality deles é diferente de assistir doramas. Nesse quesito, saiu tudo como eu esperava, os participantes eram bem respeitosos, educados, discretos, e mais fechados.

? O que esperar?

Para quem está curiosa (o), eu já lhes adianto que sim, tem treta, términos, ‘DR’, e tem casamento. Mas claro, são mais amenos. As ‘brigas’ - se é que podemos chamar de brigas, não são acaloradas, com aquele ‘BO’ todo que estamos acostumados a assistir no ocidente, como já frisei, é outra cultura. As trocas de carinho e demonstrações de afeto deles também são mais discretas, como já conhecemos. ?

? Eu recomendaria?

Se você conhece pouco da cultura japonesa, oriental, pode ser interessante. Mas para quem já está acostumado, por dentro, o reality é maçante. Os episódios são longos demais, e muito parados. Só de tempo nas cabines, o reality gasta mais de quatro horas em episódios somados. Cansa! Dá vontade de ir passando as cenas, então, como entretenimento, deixou a desejar.

The most calming and most wholesome rendition

First and foremost, I would like to state, that as of writing this, I have seen the original American production (seasons one and two [season two has yet to finish]) as well as the Brazilian one, so I definitely had more than an idea of what I was getting into. However, I did not expect it to be, like my title states, the most calming and most wholesome rendition, as the other two are, for lack of a better description, dumpster fire that you can't stay away from.

Of the three countries, the Japanese Love is Blind had the least drama and the least amount of overdramatic edits, and what I mean by edits is that scenes aren't unnecessarily dragged out to keep you on your toes. For example, in both the US and Brazilian versions, the couples reveal is dragged into the next episode, whereas with Japan's, every couple that was set to be revealed was revealed one by one near the end of the time in the pods, and pretty quickly as well despite it still leading into the next episode. Even when there was drama (let's face it, part of this is real life so there is definitely going to be real life issues between the couples) to be had, it wasn't edited to make one side nor the other look bad, and we got as close to both sides of the story as possible and it was resolved for the most part.

However, the one thing I will say, is that this season does give a lot of false hope. More than five couples walk out engaged in the pods, and yet only two end up actually saying their nuptials (their "I dos"). Two couples in particular ended up all the way at the end to walk out on each other.

Other than that, I did enjoy the little life update from most, if not all of the contestants, including, of course, the two couples who made it more than past the alter. Of the couples who ended up together, I loved seeing Midori and Wataru's story develop, but, I personally loved Ryotaro and Motomi's story and I absolutely loved her metamorphosis, as her sense of style (her way of dressing) has changed to match Ryotaro's (and in a good and cute way). Though both couples shined extremely radiant and I do hope they continue their journey in this crazy thing we call life.

Alhough I'm dissapointed that the couples I were rooting for didn't work out, you can never predict what will happen in life, and you can't force happiness.

I am definitely hoping forward to another season, or multiple rather, of Love is Blind Japan.
