Falling in Love Like a Romantic Drama Season 3 (2019)

Cruella de Ville, much?

Wow, way to start things off with a lot of drama! Interesting, albeit cruel. This season is way too cruel! Reina gets rewarded for being the worst actress who only knows how to act if she likes her partner. She should act with whomever she is paired! I don't blame Amon for being assertive. I was so disappointed in how mean Sawada was in Season 3 for the first half. I really didn't want to watch the rest, but I did. I'm glad I did because it helped me understand Sawada better, but I still don't agree with the cruelty of the first half. True, real-life can be that way. I wanted to cry with the actors. People should not have to be humiliated. The panel and the actors said it correctly, "Too cruel!" Sawada and the scriptwriters crossed the line. Whoever was responsible, it was WAY out of line! I am not sure if I'd watch a fourth season of the show. I give FIVE stars for everyone, except Reina because she is harsh and petty,. I'm glad I watched it through the end. Seasons 1 and 2 were the best because of Taeju.

Really Enjoyed Watching

Just finished season 3, right after 1 and 2. Really enjoyed all three. Although the themes and processes were pretty much identical, it was interesting to see how each participant reacted to each situation.

As an American I really love to watch the reality shows from Asia. I detest US reality shows as they are all about promoting self. USA is a ‘me’ country, which I really don’t like. That’s why all I watch now is Asian shows/movies. I love Asian culture. Simple examples such as the act of bowing, being contrite, apologetic and being thankful is so refreshing to see. You can tell it is a way of life, and it is sincere. There is no pompous, look at me attitude that the USA is all about.

As for this season, here are my thoughts. First, I was perplexed by Aoi’s appeal to the two ladies who were interested in him, especially Yuga. Yuga was so gentle and kind, not to mention her super model looks. I can’t fathom how this guy would not want to get to know her better. She would have been the one I choose to at least to get to know her better. I did not care for Aoi’s various looks, the way he moved his eyes and his reactions to everything, which I thought were over the top and very annoying. Of everyone in all the seasons, his appeal was the most baffling and disagreeable to me.

It’s ashame Yuga let her situation get the best of her as I definitely think she could do so much better than him. I was so much hoping that she would have told him at the confession that he was the only one she could choose, but she was not interested in pursuing further and then go triumphantly out on her own.

Reina was very interesting to me. Extremely cute, an air of sexiness about her and most importantly, very focused. I think she was the best actor of the show. She was lucky that she had won the audition for that great kiss scene. It seemed to seal the deal with her leading man and turned the direction of the show upside down. If I had to rank on acting alone, she would be number 1 with Nari a close 2nd. All the others were ok, but I don’t think they were close to those two. As for her romance, I worry for her. The way Tatsuya bounced back and forth between the girls, I think Reina needs to keep an eye on this guy as he seemed like the type that would stray pretty easily.

I’ll finish up with the ladies. Asuka was so nice. Pretty girl and so positive. I am glad she gave up on Tatsuya, she deserves much better. Amon seemed like a nice guy so maybe that will work out. With that said, it would have been interesting if she went up against Reina during the confession. Even though Tatsuya told Reina he would have chosen her, I don’t necessarily believe that he would have. Would not have surprised me if he picked Asuka if he had to make a choice.

Nari was great, although I thought she was going to choose Ren. I loved her emotions even though she was sad quite a bit. She was a great actor. Poor Ren, seemed like a nice guy, but I think him not being the ideal type hurt him. At least Nari was clear in letting him know how she felt, but I thought it would have been nice if she accepted him.

Last but not least Yuta, who I did not care for very much. His insistence on keeping Amon out of one of the auditions was petty. Too bad no one spoke up against him. But it ended up not well for him, and you could tell it hurt him a lot, so I did feel bad for him a little.

Lastly, I really loved the overall format of the show. From how the selections were made, the auditions and then the filming of the final scenes were really well done. Also, liked the commentary, although I was wishing it would end quicker to get back to the show itself.

Overall, I really enjoyed these shows and hope that there will be new seasons.
