Sweet and Fluffy Romance

Honestly, I don’t understand the other ratings cause everyone seems to have a problem with the plot although it was pretty clear what it was. Me personally, I’m a fan of these kind of clichés where the ML falls first and FL realises later. If you don’t like this kind of plot then watch something else rather than expecting something different. Then again, it’s just 1 ep so we don’t know how things might change. So far the main leads have really good chemistry and they’re some of my favourite actors so I’m not disappointed. Also, it was nice to see the guy from My Lovely Liar here as the second lead lmao?iykyk

Looking forward to the rest of the episodes ?

Okay, so I finished watching so I can give the full review. Honestly, for me it was good. If you’re looking for a sort of laid back drama with cute scenes then yeah watch it. To be honest, some scenes were a bit dragged and some stuff were going really slow but it’s fine considering it was 8 episodes. Cause normally most rom coms lose the plot after the first half so it’s good they kept it short.

Might not be for everyone but give it a try.

Good BL Dating show?

I saw this on Netflix and decided to give it a chance. I didn’t expect it to be this good. First of all, I liked the concept of them staying for a month cause it allowed them to bond and is more realistic than shows where they spend 4 nights and 5 days and expect them to fall in love. Also, the idea of the truck and sales was interesting and nice to watch because they built connections while also earning for themselves. I like the fact that they planned the budget together to meet everyone’s needs. I think out of all the dating shows I’ve watched, the cast here had the best connections. Everyone was very supportive of each other and they got along so well. I also like how they all gave each other advice even though they might be love rivals.

For the contestants:
My favourite was Dai, he was very clear about what he wanted and he went for it. I also liked how he maintained a friendly relationship with everyone regardless of who he liked.

I also liked the fact that they talked about coming out and their own experiences. I’m happy Taeheon found himself and hopefully he has courage to tell those around him and they support him. In all, definitely give this a try cause the emotions were really genuine. I think the main I didn’t like is we had few episodes compared to how long they stayed together so sometimes sth would happen and they just move on to 4 days later so we didn’t get to see some development. Hopefully next time we get longer episodes.

Waisted Budget

I was very excited to watch this drama and was really looking forward to it, unfortunately I was disappointed. The cinematography and scenery was really good, you could tell they put effort towards the production. Also, they’re outfits and the settings were cool. I was looking forward to watch this drama because I usually like the high school trope that involves revenge. The first episode started okay though after that it fell off. I’m not even sure what the plot was supposed to be after watching it. I was looking forward to see some revenge or at least chemistry with the characters. Nothing against the characters but the script was clearly not it. Hopefully, they make better high school tropes as it seems dramas have been lacking in that genre. Wouldn’t recommend ?

Realistic Dating Show!!

I saw this show on YouTube and decided to watch it cause it seemed similar to singles inferno. It’s a show where 20 singles gather in a deserted island to survive and find love. Looking at the number of participants I was worried and excited at the same time. A bigger number means they have more choices and would get to know different people. But then that also made me wonder if we would be able to see them each develop their feelings cause it might be too much. My favourite contestant was Nannan(Hu Wei), she was very kind and considerate to everyone.

I really liked this show because people seemed more realistic and followed their hearts, it didn’t feel like anyone was faking. One problem I had though was on the 2nd day they randomly eliminated people based people’s votes for them. So they made everyone kind of anxious the next days and for a while it was hard to tell if someone genuinely liked someone or just wanted to survive. Also the subtitles were quite inaccurate and sometimes wouldn’t show for some parts but you would still be able to get the important stuff. Anyways, if you’re looking for a realistic show with chemistry among the cast then definitely give it a try, one of the best dating shows I’ve watched.

Would’ve probably been better if there was good subtitles?

Must Watch!!!

This was my first time watching a historical drama and I have to say I was not disappointed. At first I was concerned I wouldn’t finish it because it has 40 episodes, but I thought to myself I’ll probably just skip. I’m used to skipping through dramas but this one I couldn’t, time flew by so quickly and I was on the edge of my seat every episode. Sometimes it felt like some dialogues were too long but the way the actors conveyed it made me not notice. i have to say the actress did an amazing job, she made me cry so much and you could feel her emotions even with little words. As someone who never watched a historical c drama, I would definitely recommend for beginners or anyone else in general.

One of the Best Concepts

I’ve recently been watching a lot of Korean dating shows and I came across this. I have to say this is one of the best ideas and concept I’ve seen so far. The journey follows 5 groups of siblings of opposite gender and their story of finding love. I think it was really interesting to see how our siblings and family influence our relationship. I was really drawn to Cho A and Cheolhyeon’s story. The fact that they had to rely on each other must have been hard hence coming into a house with family, they felt welcome and had home cooked meals and which was heartwarming. It was also interesting how a sibling would get close to someone and thus encourage a relationship between them and their other siblings. I think this is especially good for couples looking to settle down and have a family. There were some annoying moments obviously but overall this was a good watch and I’ll definitely recommend.

Deserves Higher Ratings

I watched two heart signal seasons before this and this was the best one. I think the cast were actually being real and true to their feelings. I’ve seen Ji hyun getting hate because of the whole In woo issue or people complaining that she was bratty. it’s not her fault that the guys liked her, from the start you could tell they all had a strong first impression on her but that changed later on. Also, she was very lively and outgoing in the beginning, others started talking more later on so obviously people would be more attracted to that. I also saw some people complaining that plot and “endgame” was predictable. Bruh it’s a dating show, they were in the house for one month, if they’re choices are not predictable then it’s scripted. Do you expect someone to form connections with someone also after going dates and having confessions just to choose someone else for the plot. Go watch a thriller or sth if that’s what you’re looking for.

Also, I like that they actually stayed one month in the house. Most dating shows would give the 4 or 5 days which doesn’t make much sense to me. Them staying for one month allowed to form bonds not just with love interests but the other housemates. Like I really loved the friendship between Ji hyun and Ui dong, you could tell they really understood each other. Also, one thing I didn’t like so much is that half of the episodes was the hosts talking and I think that could have used for more screen time on the contestants.
so I just skipped through the hosts talks.

Anyways if you come across this, definitely give a try, it’s worth the watch!

Most Genuine

I’m not really sure why the reviews for this show are low honestly. I see some people complaining about the contestants being immature but a lot of them are still students so it’s understandable.

First of all, this is most genuine dating show I’ve watched. Yes, the boys started quite immaturely, but over the journey you can see how they grew and progressed. This is the first I watched a show where the girls really knew their worth. My favourite contestant was Ye Shuting, although she looks cute and soft-hearted from her appearance, I think she was the most mature one on the show. Maybe because I am around their age so I felt more comfortable watching that kind of love but it was really genuine. To me, it’s much better than watching a bunch on grown ups pretend and try to act mature just to end not forming any connections. Other than love you can tell they found real friendship. They were really there for each other and like a big family.

In all, if you’re looking for something interesting, realistic and some cringe but sweet moments, I say give it a try.♥️

Well…

I agree with most of the comments?. This drama is one of those terrible annoying cliches but for some reason you can’t stop watching. It took a lot of will power to finish the drama and I had to watch it my friend. I wasn’t expecting the storyline to be so good considering it’s an old drama and the plots then were so cliche. But this was a new experience. The female lead was seen as annoying by most people and while she did annoy, I think the other characters were worse. The male lead was basically a stalker and it was weird, he would follow her and watch her while sleeps most annoyingly he expected so much of her when he had a rich family. Their relationship was obviously not welcomed by his family but he kept on pushing it without coming up with a real solution to fix it. As for the second male lead, I can assure that there was no second lead syndrome and anyone that wanted them together needs help. Cause he was genuinely a bad person to her from the start so I don’t know why he was expecting to be liked all of a sudden. Then finally the ending was even more annoying than the whole show. She left their city for a while after the dad tried to send her abroad. She made a whole scene and vowed to never come back. All of a sudden, she comes back with the main lead “brave” and ready to face his dad. I was so confused as she had no character development so what was the point of ending it with him just to come back 2 weeks later. Lastly, the song was good but the played it at the most random moments which would make you hate it. They literally glance at each and are about to speak then you hear “LOVE IS A MOMENT” and they’re standing there for like 5 mins straight. In all, I think this is a drama for long time k drama fans so you can just watch it and laugh about, I wouldn’t recommend to someone looking for genuine good show or a first timer.

Good Start

I’m really happy that the show was made as it brings more awareness and it’s nice to see reality shows doing so. I like the way it started and their introductions and the cast seemed to get along. Though, I think some of them found it difficult to be honest with their feelings which is understandable. I really liked Chan Gyu and I was rooting for him. It’s disappointing that he didn’t get interest from any of the men, I was really surprised cause he had a nice personality and was good looking too. But it’s fine, it’s all about connections so for a start they definitely did a good job.

BEST OST

This drama was really good. I liked the story and the acting and I think the characters really fit into their roles. One thing though was that some parts were a bit unrealistic like her being on the island and all, I think they should have handled her story better but nevertheless it was still good. The main thing though was the songs here. Park Eun Bin’s vocals were amazing and this is honestly the best k drama when it comes to songs. I added all the songs her to my Spotify and even learned the lyrics. Her voice was just so addicting and I didn’t expect the songs to be that good. Usually when I watch a drama and they start singing, I just skip but for this one I had to replay the scenes that’s how good it was.

The contestants were entertaining

I’ve watched all the Single’s infernos and this is definitely the best one. I liked the cast I think they sort of brought something to the show so it was interesting to watch. My favourite contestant was Seulki. I don’t know but there was just something charming about her. After seeing most comments from people online, I wonder if we watched the same show. It was sad to see that Seulki was getting a lot of hate especially from Nadine supporters. Now, I liked Nadine, she was one of my favourite contestants so it was sad to see the guys didn’t choose her but that doesn’t mean Seulki should be getting hate for being chosen. Most people complaining about Seulki said she seemed fake and was a pick me which makes no sense. She never once first approached the guys or confronted any girl. The guys were the ones who chose her and asked to speak with her. Also, I saw that a lot of international fans were complaining about the guys go for the same person and only pick the Korean beauty standard. Now, it’s unfortunate that the guys do that but I don’t know what you guys were expecting coming to watch “Korean” show and complaining that people liked “Korean” standards. it’s not the girls fault that fit into the standards and are picked by the men. Also, Seoun people said that she seemed fake as well but she was genuinely a bubbly person as the other contestants said. Her and Seulki just got hate for being the most popular.

Jin-Young and Seulki: This is probably the one that most people would be talking about. if you watched the show it was very obvious that Jinyoung liked Seulki, he said it himself that he prefers when he’s uncomfortable cause it means he likes the person which is how it was with Seulki. Also, with their conversations he seemed fluttered and shy while with Seulki but when he talked to others he was more of a friendly vibe. The main thing tho was that he was always called by girls to talk but he never asked anyone for time to talk except Seulki which in my opinion shows he only likes her. From the show it’s clear that talking to someone during your free time is very important. I think his downside was that he kept on being vague with his replies and he didn’t people to assume that him and Seulki are in a relationship, he tried to remain open but didn’t give Seulki any assurance so I’m happy that she didn’t pick him honestly. Overall it was a good show if I could erase my memory and watch it again, I will?
