Heart Signal Season 5 (2022)

Best season so far

9 participants. 5 lads and 4 beauties. 1 house. Multiple personalities and background in Shanghai.

First, I would say this season the casting director did their job. Not jus scandal free participants, but good attitude, successful, good-looking, hard working peeps and very tall males. The bar's been raised, makes me very worried for next season.

Without spoiling anything, the dynamics between guys and girls, among the guys and among the girls are nice. Nothing catty or rude. You honestly feel they bond and are comfortable towards the end of the show.

In terms of the panel, Angelababy return. She didnt do much last season but this season she seemed more open in sharing. Lee Seung Hyun was interesting, hes more direct and he doesnt hide what he feels, all on his facial expression. Guest panel Chen Li Nong was funny.

I like the girls of this season, different in personality and demeanor. Wan Yi and Qiu Yi are my favorites. Girls who can speak their mind, has good EQ, level-headed, considerate to others and overall comfortable on the eyes.

Fav guys would be Yang Yang, Zhong Lun and Geng Yuan. The former two are more shy and slow on conveying themselves. Geng Yuan has a direct, CEO style that works well with the girl hes interested in.

Last episode has me tearing. Theres some truly moving actions by the participants. Im a sucker for those who knows how they feel, are loyal and only have eyes for that special person. I too hope the ones who found each other thru this show, reap a bountiful and lasting relationship.

My only complaint is wishing for an extra 2 episodes, hoping the participants had more time together. Pls if you watch raw, every week theres an extra clip, cut scenese that didnt make the episode. Some are worth watching too.

Giving this such a high rating might make me seem like an untrustworthy reviewer, but I genuinely enjoyed Heart Signal 5 so much! I initially just started this as something to listen to in the background while I was doing other things, but once they moved into the house I was hooked. I had not seen any other seasons so I didn't have anything to compare it against, but I'm now watching season 2 and see that the rules were different.

Heart Signal 5 is filled with many sweet and heartwarming moments, and I loved every member of the house. They all seemed very genuine and friendly, they pursued love so bravely, and they reflected on themselves and grew from it. Without spoiling any couple(s), my favorites were probably Li Wan Qian, Zhang Gen Yuan, and Sun Xin. Surprisingly, there weren't as many dates as I thought there'd be, but that's also fine because my favorite parts were when people cooked together or went to the grocery store together. I loved the awkward moments because it felt so real! I laughed so much at the randomly-drawn car assignments for the overnight trip.

The panelists were a fun group with some great insights, and often expressed exactly what I was thinking. Sometimes the part where they guess the messages felt a little too prolonged. There is much blatant product placement (definitely made me want some Oreos) but I can overlook it since the show was otherwise so enjoyable!
