Season 2 please!

This show didn't have much popularity, so I was worried I would be wasting my time. But right away, I felt the same professionalism and style as that of Transit Love/Exchange.

The premise of the show is a group of 4 guy friends who all know one another, room together, with a group of 4 girl friends who all know each other for a week. Of course, that's super uneasy, because friends are bound to like the same person. Interestingly, each friend of each group are so different from one another. It's super easy to tell them apart, and I loved how we get the perspective of someone who's never been in a relationship before.

Personally, 7 days is too short. I get that feelings are escalated, and it could feel like a month in there, but is it really enough to find love and actually start dating someone after the show? Hm. At least it seems like everyone learned a lot from this experience.

I wonder what Yonghyun and Seokhyun felt if they watched this show and saw Yena deliberately wasted time so Yonghyun couldn't spend enough time with the same guy. Pretty low move. She hides a lot through her smile and fake laugh. I see her with all her flirty antics! I'm so happy Taewoong called her out.

I think we can all agree Taewoong is the universal dream guy in this show. A true honest gentleman who looks after everyone, yet no one was into him?? Love is so blind.

Whoever edits this show's captions is an INSTIGATOR lol. The amount of dramatic sounding captions. Not to mention, those next episode previews always ended up being nothing like its actuality.

The activities/tasks planned by the producers are rather simple. Everyone just mainly went on dates or stayed home. There wasn't anything offered to spice things up, so luckily the cast members themselves were pretty entertaining. Still, in season 2, it would be nice to see further improvements on activities. Overall, love the concept and it's nice to see such strong friendship!

VERY UNDERRATED DATING SHOW.

These days many dating shows are being released. Not that I hate it but many shows lack the sincerity and the quality. I recently watched Eden 2 and disliked it sm. However, compared to such low quality shows, this one is a good quality show and has a very distinct concept.
A group of girl friends and boy friends coming together as two seperate groups like group blind dates? It was kind of cruel to watch them going through so many turbulences and testing their relationship as friends. However, I liked the show, especially the contestants. Their sincerity hit me so bad. My favourites were Young Hyeon and Min. They were so cute and their friendship bond was so special. I loved Min the most. She was quirky introvert with cool personality. This show allowed them to find more about themselves and see to which length they could go for love or friendship. I will give special mention to tae woong for being the best friend who not only cared for his boy friends but girls too.
I was avoiding this show for quite a long time but I am glad I watched it. I loved it sm and will wait for it's 3rd season. Hope they do good casting like this one and we can see some real chemistry between contestants again.
If you're a dating show maniac like me who have watched almost all kinds of dating shows, this show would be a good addition to your list.

Lovely and pure show

Started off this show with a good feeling, I was so immersed that it took me quite some time to realize there wasn't any panelists.

I didn't read much into the show before watching it, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The way that they let the female contestants observe the male contestants before meeting each other for the first time was a new twist that I haven't seen before.

I thought it was funny that Seok Hyeon was the only one that didn't get chosen from their observation, but then most of the girls seemed interested after meeting him in person.

I actually rooted for Seok Hyeon and Young Hyun. They were so cute and lovey dovey during their first date and Young Hyun felt like an honest and upright person. I honestly felt like she was the best pick for Seok Hyeon, but then Yena came and ruined everything.

I can agree that her appearance and looks are astonishing and I would assume she was like that after seeing her, but when I got to know how she behaved, all of that first impression disappeared. Never have I seen such a fake person. Her fake smile and her fake laugh, all to hide her true colors. Fortunately Tae Woong had the guts to tell her about it, which made me like him even more.

If I look apart from Yena, the show was actually great. It had some good chemistry and cute moments with some intense drama. Time flew by when I watched it and I was done after 3 days. I would truly recommend this to anyone who wants to have a taste of that youthful love.
