The definition of a dating show

So this was my first dating show I’ve ever seen for a boy and boy and I have to say it wasn’t too bad for being a first, but there were a little bit of red flags in my opinion, but I don’t hate anyone really and please here me out about it. I’m first gonna talk about Shun and Dai I have to say they almost made me lose my mind watching them, when I first saw Shun in the trailers I was gonna root for him the whole time, but he is kind of a lot of work and I can’t really judge because I do think I also act like him, but I think the reason he acts like that is because he doesn’t know what love is since he stated that he was abandoned at birth and put into an orphanage until he was 18 when he left the orphanage then he started dating, but from what we hear his exs seems to ruin his confidence and makes him insecure because from his New York ex he said that he felt jealous once he finally saw what a normal family looks like, I feel that’s why he acts differently than others because he doesn’t know what love is and he is with Dai and I have to say I am not a big fan of Dai because from what we know he’s the definition of a player like he already slept with multiple men and even Alan, and when Ikuo joined the green room Dai suddenly was all over him and slowly left Shun, I feel that when they leave the green room they won’t last long because they kept getting into fights and even when shun said at the end I love you to Dai he responded with “I love you Shun for right now”which I feel makes it seem like their done right now, plus he likes both boys and girls so he’s could easily leave Shun. Also I hated whenever they got in fights Shun would always have to apologize when it wasn’t even his fault, while Dai would never have to say sorry, also when poor Ikuo got yelled at by Dai for talking with Shun about their problems because Dai doesn’t want to work through it himself, but brings everyone in the house to help him with the problem, while Shun has to work through it himself. I feel that if they were stuck in a house and it was only them then I would think they could last forever because when their alone they act like a couple, but when others are involved then they don’t act like one. I have to say that Kazuto had it hard in the house because basically everyone in the house liked him and he can only date one person, but what I didn’t like was whenever he would turn someone down they kept bugging him so it could conflict with his actual feelings for whoever he likes, but the only person that backed off was Usak. I have to say that Kazuto and Usak could’ve been the main couple if he did stay because Kazuto said he liked him, but thought he was to out of Usak’s league because he’s famous. I do feel bad for Gensei because he seems like the sweetest person ever and when he had feelings for Ryota, I felt he just used him for the date because he still liked Kazuto not Gensei, but if I were him I would’ve picked Gensei because he’s the cutest thing on earth. I hated that Taeheon was barely shown and I do think that him and Gensei could’ve been a couple because if you look at some clips of them together they would have their arms hooked together and holding hands, plus their hug when Gensei stated he was gonna leave, and Taeheon said that he wishes that Gensei would come back and say “Hi Tae” to him. I do also feel bad for Ikuo because he seems like a good guy and should’ve ended up with someone, but I’m glad that he will take what he learned from the house with him into the world of dating. I do recommend because their aren’t many dating shows, but it was a little toxic at times.
