Cute and interesting!!
The concept is the basic one of other series, you look for love, the difference is that you do it for marriage. The participants were very spontaneous,each one with their own stories and ways of thinking, many changes of location and twists. The various tests were also interesting. The cast reacting to the series were very entertaining, even with their reasoning and reactions. Watching it in the original language also gave an added effect, cute scenes, disappointments and also many clothes changes. I recommend it.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Revolving door of single men which is too quick for any depth to occur
7/10 is my rating. This is a 2024 Japanese Reality dating show with 10, ~42 minute episodes.First I provide a unique synopsis then review.
Synopsis
Singles join the show looking for a partner to marry or at least date with marriage in mind. The men feel some urgency to court their romantic interest as they know they may be asked to leave the show at intervals. The women can continue the relationship with a man by proposing once the man is asked to leave. The singles travel to a variety of nice locations where they can interact informally as well as through formal match ups.
Review
When a man leaves they basically send them a text and ask them to meet at a location away from the other participants. That is the last time the others see that selected participant. Any woman interested in that man must propose to him by 10 AM the following morning to be able to continue a relationship with him. Whether the man accepts or not both the man and the woman leave the show. The first male who left it seemed very abrupt as it was only like four days in. What is surprising is, as that participant is leaving, a new participant arrives. I liked a lot of elements of the show. It mixed free interactions with more formal dates quite well. I could not take it seriously as the interactions were relatively brief. All of the beautiful locations were enjoyable to see and the interactions were interesting. I would not rewatch it and would only recommend it to die hard romantic reality show fans.

It did not feel the show allowed enough time for most to develop any deep feelings. Some of the couples seemed to be making a connection only to have the man abruptly leave. I also felt like some of the singles were not serious about finding a lasting partner. They never paused at all about stopping someone from keaving even thise they had a deeper connection with. I was surprised at the degree of plastic surgery some of the singles had and that they were the more popular singles. In the US and what I have seen of Korea, looking too plastic is not a good thing. So it was a different beauty standard.
I do appreciate that Asian dating reality shows tend to be more wholesome. There was one female single in this who came on to the men in a cringy forward fashion. I actually felt sorry for them because it was assuming they wanted the physical contact and it did not seem like they did.
I was not all in for any of the couples that formed and did not feel like there was muxpch romance.
