Such a fantastic idea, wasted on such an average execution.
It’s just like many K-dramas that begin with a unique concept and a highly promising premise, only to eventually fall back on the same old clichés.
The "blind date in bed" was incredibly unique and refreshing. What I loved most was the idea of two people building a connection based solely on how they felt about each other, without outside options or love triangles getting in the way. Finally, a dating show that wasn't treating romance like online shopping. I was hooked.
The so-called "isolated romance" turned out to be about as isolated as a group project. The chip giving segment was just another recycled confession activity we've seen a hundred times before, and suddenly all that originality collapsed. The show traded its biggest strength for the safest, most predictable formula.
The biggest disappointment in isolated romance, was the chemistry or rather, the complete lack of it. there were almost no heart-fluttering moments. No lingering eye contact, no butterflies, no unforgettable conversations that made you root for anyone. The only heart fluttering moment I remember was Hyun Ji holding Si-hyun’s hand after they’ve just met, that was out of the blue and exciting.. The end couple was even more insane and not in a good way !! Like are you kidding me !
The 4th experiment, King of Hearts, was… alright. But honestly, where was the love??
Everyone was giving player energy except Yerim. The amount of planning, plotting, calculating, and scheming just to decide who goes on which date… meanwhile I’m here wondering, “Does anyone actually LIKE anyone???”
Maybe it’s just me, but that didn’t feel like a love experiment. And the chips??? They were supposed to represent feelings, but half the time it felt like people were just handing them out like loyalty points.
