I've finally found my comfort show; much more than a youth dating program

I'm not typically a fan of dating shows and only watch youth dramas every so often now but this show completely surpassed my expectations.
I fell in love with this show because it turned out to be so much more than just a dating program for recent university grads. There were so many great life lessons packaged into this show and spanned all sorts of love: from romantic, to friendship, to self-love. I really felt like I was watching a drama rather than reality show as the stories were so captivating and relatable.

I was incredibly impressed by the cast. Despite their "young" age, they were all incredibly communicative and influenced each other positively. Overall, they also had a very high baseline in terms of EQ. Their trip only spanned 15 days but it's evident that this was a life changing experience for them - some more than others as we witnessed their growth through the show.
The panel was fantastic too - loved that they were so into it and I shared many of the same reactions with them. Also have to give a shout out to the production team/editors - it definitely enhanced the viewing experience.
I rated the music a little lower only because the version I watched on YT generally had no background music (probably due to copyright?), but I'm sure it was great lol.

If you're a conventional dating show fan, I'd still recommend giving this a try, especially if you want to see a balance of romance and friendship. For everyone else; highly recommend this show if you're feeling lost and need some inspiration to move forward again.
PS. There's even a bromance ship in this show with their own CP name!
