Eden (2022)

A BOLDER Korean dating show

This show was a mix of Transit Love/Exchange and Singles Inferno.

The cast room in a house together and play games to win dates. Just like the Singles Inferno producers, these producers milk on the strength games! Literally don't join this show if you're not strong, because the stronger agile people kept winning.

What's slightly different from other dating shows is that the cast members first meet in bathing suits and spoke in casual speech to one another. I loved that idea, since you break all awkwardness and show your vulnerability right away. The cast also had new bed arrangements every night. Other than that, the show was intriguing at first, but it got boring with the mundane routine of games, dates, and new bed arrangements.

The appeal for the cast members fell when I learned most of them were pretty much models. All of a sudden, everyone is painted in a light to be coming on here just to earn some fame to me. Here's my thoughts on each:

Sungjae: First impression, he was the best looking to me and seemed polite. That was until we saw him get ANGRY, and immediately I was turned off. You don't want to mess with this guy when you get on his nerve, because he will blow. He also seems like the type to not take rejection for an answer.

Yuna: This girl really was a character. She unfortunately didn't get as much screen time, but it was funny she called out Nayeon for being a player, when I think she was trying to be one too.

Juyeon: My fave! She was the most genuine female cast member, and as soon as no one chose her in the beginning, I knew this was yet another sign of Koreans always avoiding the tan girls and having that same beauty standard.

Timothee: The fact that he started latching onto the female who made bank tells you something about his character. He also comes off very calculating in his motions to draw people to like him.

Nayeon: A total red flag, but I enjoyed watching her. I will also like to join the bandwagon of buying her guidebook on how to flirt and allure men.

Junghyun: So cute and his age shown lol. He became my fave for being so sweet. Can we please get some treatment for his sore lips at the end, like dam.

Jihyun: She was the most confusing member I ever seen. None of her actions made sense. She led Cheolmin on quite a lot for it to mean nothing.

Cheolmin: I feel bad for him, as he seems like a genuine funny and nice guy. He never once got mad at being rejected and stuck to one woman till the end.

Hoseok: He is the moodmaker of the gang. But unfortunately, he is too aggressive and reacts outwardly that I'd run the other way in fear if he were to have a crush on me. He also seems hella petty.

Unlike other shows, there were some scenes that were bolder than what I usually see, and I loved the panelists' reactions every time. I normally root for potential couples I like in dating shows, but I didn't feel anything here.

Um programa divertido, estilo "Singles inferno" mas sem muitas dinâmicas e com mais contato físico (o povo é mais pra frente kkk)

O elenco é bem bonito, mas tiveram uns participantes que pareciam uma planta, bem sem atitude, era até difícil lembrar que estavam ali kkkkk

Kim Nayeon a rainha que encantou todos os homens (quero aprender todas os métodos dela kkkk)

São 8 episódios de puro entretenimento, amei acompanhar as declarações, os ciúmes e até o surto de participantes querendo ir embora.

No fim os casais que se formaram foram bem os que previ, um eu sinto que ele escolheu a garota só porque sabia que ela escolheria de volta, ele mesmo tinha interesse em outra mas sabia que esta não tinha interesse nele.
