Single's Inferno

This is the first time I haven't turned one of these "speed dating on a desert island" or "find love in three days plus gimmicks" shows off in the first or maaaybe second episode. And once again it's because there is an authenticity to Korean culture that is so refreshing. Where is the backstabbing?! Where is the snide double edge remarking?! Where are the testosterone heavy but bikini clad competitions that are meant to create random and poorly placed drama to exclude the idea of well developed personalities...?!

Thankfully none of it found its way to this show. Instead the focus is on real world emotions and responses between the contestants. Even the ones who are expected to be obnoxious are good people, just higher maintenance. These shows don't need to be full of jerks to be good. Well done.

This won't be like the American's reality dating shows. There won't be any kissing, sex, over the top drama.

Koreans/Asians in general are more conservative, polite, little skinship, less eye contact.

I just love this version of it. Wonder how Koreans would do a dating show without celebrities. This show is definitely it. Every casting is attractive just like how Koreans like their castings. For Koreans, it might be too much for them.

Some people that wants drama and lots of touching and kissing won't like it, like the Americans.

It's was nice to see something different.

Such an interesting look at a culture that simply doesn't exist in America. Gentle, kind, sweet and honest- the show is a rich experience, soothing and full of surprises.

Unlike any other dating reality TV show I watched this show doesn't contain any of the other trash you seen in typical American shows like this. I found the pacing great, the conversations not forced and I really rooted for the participants and loved how it turned out in the end.

I hate American dating reality shows. They are usually just sex & drunkenness. I love how much more conservative Koreans are. They get to know each other & flirt. Which makes for such a better story line! There is a slow burn which is so much more entertaining. I loved all the singles on Inferno. They all seemed genuine & seemed to have a lot of fun. I haven't watched the last episode so I'm not sure who ends up with who, but honestly I don't care. I just enjoyed the journey. It is such a visually beautiful show. Both the inferno island & Paradise Hotel where gorgeous back grounds! I like that with each day you didn't know how the rules would change I hope Netflix gives us many more seasons of this fun, guilty pleasure!!
