Highly Supenseful
I was a bit unsure how much I was going to like this show at first given that the shocking brutal violence in the initial episodes seemed more graphic than necessary and I worried that it might devolve into a typical weekly plotted all action revenge story. But it proved so much more than that. Above all, this was easily the most suspenseful show I've watched all year. It had me on the edge of my seat for the entire back half of the season with a more complex than expected plot, unpredictable twists that surprised without completely stretching credibility, and a magnificent performance from the cast, particularly the two main female leads, as well as Lee Ho Jung as the antagonist.Was this review helpful to you?
A Good One Even for Non-Fans of Dating Shows
I'm not particularly a fan of dating reality shows and only tried this one on an impulse becuase the gimmick made me curious. I'm sure glad I did.The struggles of these Gen Zers to get by without their devices is quite amusing and they treat us to a lot of gorgeous shots of the scenery in Southern France in early Spring. But what really makes this show stand out is a great cast featuring a diverse array of mostly likable “real” people who geniunely do want to find love. It helps that they don't go out of their way to create either villians or excessive drama through the editing .
Finally, they really lucked into a great character like Nanami, who really tugs on the heartstrings with her growth over the 10 days and provides an emotional resolution to the overall series. There are several other memorable characters as well and no one I truly disliked.
