Love Catcher in Seoul (2021)

Very disappointing

Comparing with the last seasons this one was very poor, maybe due to Covid-19 restraints but looked like a low budget show. Very few activities and a lot of time spent in the house doing nothing!
The new rules, were not an improvement. In the last seasons, at least all of the candidates would have an opportunity to have a date in a rotative way, some of the player did not have a lot of aired time and their stories were not very explored.
The elimination should have been excluded this season, so this way every couple would have a chance to get to the final stage.
If a new season will be aired soon some improvement should be undertaken.

Not a very catching season

I caught myself constantly comparing this season with the others before. Idk, I found this season a bit disapointing and I felt like nothing really remained in my memory...especially regarding couple activities.

The new rule, how they can use a fake identity was a bit uncalled for and didn't make the production better. At least in my opinion.
This time I found many of the contestants unappealing/unlikeable, unlike before in the other seasons.

My favorite contestant here is Yang Jimin, she was so lovely, cute and brave. I was cheering for her the entire time, so I felt especially sad about her elimination :((

The ending with the last two episodes were striking. They were the most notable ones because of the 24h date time.

And with the panel members, I was missing Shin Dong Yup and Hong Seok Cheon so much!!

Not catching or enjoyable

I couldn't help but compare this seasons to the ones before and honestly it was a disappointing watch and ending.

**SPOILERS AHEAD**

Some of the new rules helped, while others didn't. For example, the new rule of being able to disguise your profile was added and Jungwoo's approach was something I thought was positive but then he was eliminated along with Yang Jimin which was honestly so sad.

After there were only 8 remaining, which in this season was the first time I thought that the eliminations made no sense, the show wasn't that exciting anymore and most of the time they would just hang out in the mansion.

I have no idea how the producers thought it was a good idea to have 6 money catchers out of 10, when 4 of those were women and then the only love catcher (Jimin) gets eliminated. It was just a sad sight to see. Bad ending.

I watched the seasons in backwards order because of Love Catcher in Bali, the first season of the series I watched. I noticed a lot of people didn’t enjoy season 3 as much compared to the previous two seasons and I can understand why. This season lacked a lot of date opportunities and opportunities to get to know other people equally. I, however, really liked how there were not that many challenges and instead focused on just hanging around at the house. It really showed the different stages of getting to know people and really explored how each person processed emotions differently and how they developed feelings. I feel like the first two seasons had them being so active all the time that they didn’t have many opportunities to talk to other people or have free time. What I really enjoyed about season 3 was that they took the time to understand their own feelings and talked to other people about each other’s feelings. I really enjoyed the meaningful conversations that they had.

Disappointing Ending

Don't watch this unless you have too much time on your hands. (I tried not to include spoilers.)

Let's first talk about the whole game. The rule that ruined the show, I would say, was the new one where one of the money catchers could lie completely about their identity. This caused the contestants to quickly determine who that money catcher was-- early in the game-- and therefore, eliminated one of the more interesting couple storylines (Inseong and Jungwoo).

Secondly, I lowkey felt like everyone was a money catcher while watching. No single contestant gave me good vibes except Inseong and Jungwoo. If I hadn't hung onto the hope that Jungwoo would perhaps visit the house after he was eliminated, I wouldn't have continued watching. As for the love catcher reveal at the end, I predicted all of them-- and I'm glad I did because they stole my heart (after I got over Jungwoo).

As for the reaction panel, Jang Do Yeon is really the MVP. Her experiences with this series as well as hosting other shows definitely plays a part in the flow of this show in general. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by Miyeon and Sunny. Although they didn't pose as important roles as Jang Do Yeon during the show-- they made it much more enjoyable and light-hearted. I especially enjoyed Miyeon's dissection of the contestants; I feel like she had worthwhile insight. As for Son Ho Jun, I barely noticed his presence. This goes the same for Loco (except that one scene with his shirt-- which I think Jang Do Yeon helped him with in setting up the scene).

Compared to the other seasons, this one really felt rushed and the new rules did not stick with me. They are already suspecting each other to begin with, so why allow them to come in with a fake identity? I also don't like the elimination stage. They all deserve a chance to go through until the end.
My favorite part has to be SPOILLLER ALEEERT






Jimin ________________ to Jimin.
It took HUGE courage to do that and im glad she did! Im trying not to spoil it but its hard!!!!
My favorite person from beginning to end was Wonjae, has been, is, always will be. For him to be 23 and come on this show took guts you know! And he really went all out. The two I never liked and still don't are An Jimin and Dana. Like what the hell!
Insung was just an extra character the whole time. Like she was just Jungwoo Jungwoo. Same goes for Jaehyung, they both didn't seem like they had any role in anything.
Suwon, hmmm, i didnt like him at first, he isn't my type at all, i don't even think he's good looking lol to my standards
But the fact that he only had eyes for Haneul the whole time was admiring. He never wavered and gave it his all. So I applaud him for that ? I'm really trying my best not to write any spoilers. The amount of stress and thinking this show causes me is making me reconsider ever watching another season again.
I don't think I could ever be a money catcher. I care too much about people's feelings. If I was a money catcher and I did feel like someone had feelings for me, I would change. Because money comes and goes. Love doesn't.
Last remarks, #TeamWonjae forever
He really taught us all something important.
