Slow paced but you feel closer to the cast

*NO SPOILERS*

I know what you think, slower must be better as you get to know everyone a bit deeply so it must be good? I'd tend to agree with this perspective a lot but this TV reality show has been dragged a bit too much for my liking.

Episodes length are from 1,5 hours to 2,45 hours and there are 15 of them. Obviously for someone that want to enjoy a long show are pleased but I felt they should've fast forward 50% of the content.

Overall setting: The exes are brought into one nice big house, they can't tell at first whom is their ex and go on a long journey of either dating new candidates or trying to get back to their exes. This is definitely interesting to know each of them, to know how their are hiding the secret of exes and connecting to new people. I have to say I really liked most of the cast and was rooting for them to either get back together or reflect on themselves and noticed they aren't meant for one to another.

Throughout the days the participants would have to text a person they like anonymously but sometimes it would be revealed depending on what the production intend to do. That is really about it. There would also sometimes choose to whom they want to go on dates and learn about one of another. I haven't really felt like there were a lot of "drama", "actions", "tensions" that you might see in another reality TV show. I don't feel that the participants were challenge a lot to get out of their comfort zone.

I'd say this show is like a very slow paced Terrace House with only one big difference is you are living with your ex.
You see them drink coffee, sleep, be drunk, cook, sometimes just be on the couch doing nothing. Imagine being filmed inside your house doing your daily thing after work but sometimes you get to chit chat with either a new friend or your ex, that is the best resume I can get you.

Too slow for me, participants are sweet or annoying, not much happening but if you want a background show while you're scrolling your phone this might. be for you.

Not interesting enough to watch season 2 and 3.

Very addictive story but most importantly the acting is as it's best

*French to follow after this English Review*

This is my first ever review on here after watching 48 dramas, 6 TV shows and 43 movies that are made somewhere in Asia (mainly Japan and South Korea) so please bare with me.

It's been about a couple of weeks that I watched this show and I still think about Chris Wu acting. What an incredible actor! I will definitely take the time to watch him in other shows or movies but I am in my grind of crime and dark stories.

I like to do the detective as well and try to determine who would be the killer and I got it all wrong haha then it made me realized how amazing this is going to be as the story goes. I would say the first episode or two are a slow burner (which is great as you get to really dig main character's background story) but you get definitely hooked after 2-3 episodes which from there you might be incapable to stop yourself to watch.

I can't recommend this show enough, it really feels underrated as it's buried in between at the K-Dramas on Netflix, but I swear this would surprised me if you come back to me with negative feedback. This is one of the best thriller/crime/dark show I've seen in the last couple of years.

10/10 without hesitation <3
Enjoy! Please feel free to recommend this post if you agree with me or think of watching soon.

Allô !!!
Voici ma toute première critique ici après avoir regardé 48 drames, 6 émissions de télévision et 43 films d'Asie (principalement du Japon et de la Corée du Sud), alors s'il vous plaît, soyez patients~

Cela fait environ quelques semaines que j'ai regardé cette émission et je pense toujours à la performance de Chris Wu. Quel acteur incroyable ! Je vais certainement prendre le temps de le voir dans d'autres émissions/ films, mais je suis plongé dans les histoires de crime et sombres en ce moment.

J'aime aussi jouer au détective et essayer de déterminer qui sera le tueur, et j'avais tout faux haha ! Ça m'a fait réaliser à quel point cette série va être incroyable à mesure que l'histoire avance. Je dirais que les deux premiers épisodes sont un peu lents (ce qui est super car vous avez vraiment l'occasion de creuser l'histoire du personnage principal), mais vous allez définitivement être accro après 2-3 épisodes, et à partir de là, vous allez avoir du mal à vous arrêter de regarder.

J’arrêterai pas de recommander cette émission, elle semble vraiment sous-estimée car elle est noyée entre les K-Dramas sur Netflix, mais je vous assure que vous aller me surprendre si vous revenez vers moi avec des commentaires négatifs. C'est l'une des meilleures séries de thriller/crime/sombre que j'ai vues au cours des dernières années.

10/10 sans hésitation
Bon visionnement :D
