The Boyfriend definitely surprised me. It’s kind rare for me to like all participants in a reality show but in this one, everyone was likeable. They were so different from each other but in a way they respected each other and complemented each other. It was also kind refreshing seeing people with different nationalities and having different mindsets and jobs. Even the commentators were nice and funny.

I really enjoyed the scenes were all of them were together talking about their feelings, thoughts and about their sexualitys. Also I liked that we had two bisexuals in the house, loved the representation <3 The last episodes were really emotional and I don’t recall watching a dating reality show who gave me this kind of feeling. We could really feel how everyone was feeling sad and didn’t want to leave.

The only thing that I definitely disliked about the show is that the boys stayed in the house for 1 month but we had episodes with 30 minutes each, which was too short. I felt like we didn’t see a lot of important things and some conflicts or decisions that the guys had, seemed random, forced or out of context. I blame the editors for this because although they tried to explain some conflits, I had the constant feeling that things were rushed or didn’t happened exactly like that.

Talking more about the guys now: Shun was definitely a controversial participant and I think he’s the kind of guy who some people might like and others might hate. But I hope that although you can disagree with him or find him immature, you will still see him as a person who deserves care and love. Respect him as a person and understand that his life was not so good and he definitely still have some scars that needs more time to heal. Dai was also kind of controversial in the beginning and people were so unfair to him but I’m happy that later most realized he’s a great person who also deserves love. I’m glad he was a respectful guy until the end and proved everyone wrong. You might don’t approve DaiShun as a couple but I think Dai it’s a person who can help Shun deal with his issues. They were also entertaining and cute to watch and I hope that if they’re still together, both of them are happy and in a healthy relationship.

Kazuto is a handsome great and mature guy and I understand why everyone was chasing him. But I think he felt pressed and couldn’t really fall in love with anyone, although he tried with Alan. Alan was also a guy that I really liked and he was kind of a big brother to everyone. He helped and cared for all guys. Taeheon also had this big brother kind of vibe and he deserved so much better omg :( I couldn’t understand why no one liked him romantically.

Gensei and Ryota were soulmates in my mind and they made so much sense together but I understand that we can’t feel love with our heads so unfortunately Ryota didn’t feel the same for Gensei. Usak was kind of lost to me but I feel like he did his best and we could see that he respected everyone there.

Ikuo was the last one to came and I think this got in his way and he couldn’t be really close to anyone but I liked him and I think he’s really mature. But I must say that I found his letter to Dai kind of cringe because he did a whole ass speech when it’s very clear that Dai likes Shun and it also seemed kind of a shade to Shun. He was like “I’ll put your feelings first!!! I’ll care for you!!!!” lol but I understand that he wanted to be sincere about his feelings in the end.

In general I really liked the show, for me it was one of the best LGBT+ dating show. I wish to see more of the guys soon and I hope all guys are happy now, they really deserve <3. Hoping for a season 2!
