Dating/romance reality shows are a dime in a dozen yet for some reason this was crazy hyped on social media. Other shows like Love Island, The bachelor and even Big Brother are infinitely more entertaining than whatever this is supposed to be. For a reality show it is EXTREMELY boring, mostly because nothing happens. It is extremely conservative so no sex, no kissing, heck there's barely any touching until the last few episodes. Hell, there's no drama either. Koreans or should I say Asians in general are rather conflict-adverse so don't expect any big showdowns like you see in Kdramas where people fight over lovers. The closest thing to "drama" would be So-yeon and Se-Hun's "argument" over her supposed "confession" which honestly barely counts as an argument since they were both extremely polite throughout. Instead, there's a lot of awkward talk about feelings and ideal types that left me feeling a lot of second-hand awkwardness/cringe...which I don't think is what you should be feeling while watching a reality show.

Participant-wise, they are extremely bland with cookie cutter personalities/looks. The girls are all conventionally attractive, rail thin and pale as ghosts with their jobs all being model/influencer/Youtuber. The guys all have 6 pack abs, enjoy exercising (except for one dude who liked cooking) and are Youtubers/influencers/business owners as well. When everyone is literally the same, it's hard to root for any one particular person/couple. Doesn't help that almost all the guys are fixated on Ji-Ah, and watching all the guys pine for her gets old fast. Also, some of the guys give off MAJOR creepy vibes (Se-Hun, Si-Hun and Hyun joong) which makes for awkward viewing because of how obsessed they were with some of the girls. The hosts were also SO BAD and added 0 entertainment value to the show. Like seriously, what was their purpose? To rehash a scene that happened literally seconds before??? God, they were so annoying and I skipped all of their scenes.

The only entertaining thing were the games, which were quite funny and innovative. Too bad they were too short and most of the time was spent allowing participants to have their awkward chats. The whole island felt so underutilized as well, they could have asked the participants to do more outdoor type activities but for some reason didn't.

TLDR: give this show a miss unless you don't mind basking in feelings of second-hand awkwardness and cringe.
