Teenagers pathway to adulthood

Nineteen to Twenty is a totally different dating show. I really liked how it had such a variety of things the contestants could do. Everything from different types of classes to a schooltrip. I also liked how many activities they did.

It was nice seeing their immature behaviour trying to be more grown up, going on dates etc. There is always room for improvement, but I think they will learn from this experience.

If I'm going to talk about the cast, I feel like I just want to mention those that specifically stood out.

Firstly, Ji-Woo is such a unique person. Never have I ever seen anyone act the way she did. The way she kept saying things with extreme confidence when the reality might have been different. And how she acted all cute in front of the person she likes, poking them repeatedly and then just tells them it was nothing afterwards. Her overall feeling was a cute schoolgirl.

Also Ye-rin was so funny. She kept on doing ?? after being on a date or starts dabbing or doing fortnite dances after feeling the thrill of love. This just shows how pure and immature she still is.

Another person I feel like I want to mention is Sang-Won. I get that he is just trying to show interest and express his feelings towards Seo-Hyeon, but when he does it that much and follows her around, it just becomes too much. He should give her some space and time to think about her own feelings and maybe also get to know the other guys. This could help Seo-Hyeon understand her feelings more.

A couple that also stood out was Hee-Ji and Pyeong-Seok. They were like in their own world not bothered by all the drama that was in the house. I think it was cute how Pyeong-Seok cared about her when she was hurt. It was also nice to see how Hee-Ji didn't give up on Pyeong-Seok when he was so shy at the start. Her hard work was not in vain.

This show was so nice and innocent, that I was enjoying every second of it. I felt like I could relate a lot to the contestants and to their thoughts about being adults and to their thoughts about the future. I felt like the producers tried their best to give everyone screentime, but I can agree it can be hard when some of them are very reactive.

I was so emotionally invested that when things didn't work out, it felt like I was the person getting rejected. After watching this show, it leaves me with the hope that there will be a season 2 with new contestants.
