To escape the island with your love or leave alone?

Dating shows usually aren't very good. They feature superficiality and cringe flirting, but I guess that's why I like them. They're so bad, that I can't help but watch more.

Like everyone said, it's really interesting to watch how people flirt in real life. I would have enjoyed it more if these people were actually your average every day people, but most of these people seem to be rich or own businesses.

The beginning ep was really boring but the episodes soon picked up when we moved onto the spice of not knowing who someone would end up picking to go together to Paradise with. It's also interesting to see love triangles develop so quickly in real life! Luckily, South Korean shows are tamer so don't expect much catty slapping or drama here!

All the cast members were interesting, but I found the additional characters unnecessary. Netflix needs to stop doing that. It's not fair to the new people coming into the island when everyone already had started developing feelings and camaraderie. You're always going to get the same "They're new, I didn't establish a deep connection with them" lingo, Netflix! Netflix might think that was needed to spice up the show, but have faith in your cast! Se-hoon really carried the show, in my opinion. He sparked main character energy in this show, leading a whole k-drama of his own in here.

The panelists/commentators were funny and awesome. No one was overly biased and everyone was respectful and commented the right things that made the show all the more entertaining. It felt fun like you're cheering on the cast together with them!

I do hope in future seasons, instead of spicing up the cast, Netflix focuses on spicing up what happens on the island. Playing games and going to Paradise each night is eventually going to get repetitive.
