Such a great concept for a Korean dating show

I have watched Single's Inferno all 3 seasons, one season of Change Days, Love After Divorce and Nineteen To Twenty and this was the best Korean reality show that I have seen. I loved the way the hosts were so expressive and felt free to say and do anything as they watched. Kim Hee Chul was my favorite! He was so involved with the show that he was standing up, screaming and even hiding in some scenes. I felt like the hosts were experiencing exactly what I was, when I was stressed or happy for my favorites. Other than that I loved how the show focused on certain prejudices that people have and allowed the contestants to explore them and recognize them as they interacted with one another.

Only thing was that coming from a country more influenced by the west I felt like some of their secrets were not really serious enough to be on the show, but I also got to understand that in Korea people may view them more negatively than they would here. Also I felt like the show approached topics that were not exactly PG 13 but shied away from showing us the contestants in their more intimate moments. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't want to see any R- Rated scenes but some scenes between certain couples were just skipped as if nothing ever happened. And you're left wondering what they were doing during the rest of their dates. One 2 contestants on the show had a whole date that was not filmed! Its like the editors cherry picked out scenes from certain couples that they thought would be interesting and that is all they included. And yet I personally believe that the whole point of a dating reality show is to show even the dates where the couples obviously won't end up together.

Other than all that a great show! Can't wait for season 2! The whole concept of the show is a great one and you only really realize the change it brings to the contestants at the very end.
