Love Deadline

I have watched a few dating shows recently and its interesting to see and compare the themes and styles.

The premise for this show is somewhat interesting - a group of males and females - after an unknown amount of time a male is 'told to leave', the women need to decide if they would like to propose marriage to this illiminated contestant.

Again we see a modern trend of having studio hosts comment and react on what they have just seen. A trope I enjoyed in a different show - however here it does not work as well - and that is speed.

The biggest issue I have with this program is the speed of edits. The quick cuts and and quick scenes the fast pace of moments where a considered thought or a linger would be a much better choice.

The existing style Feels like the program is aimed at a younger audience - whilst the subject matter and age Of the contestants doesn't fit that profile. This mash doesn't work for me and leaves me frustrated.

All people who participate in this show were great personalities, people who really wanted to be there for right reasons. Small and not trivial drama, nothing made up plus with news like reporter watcher hosts who commentate but not annoyingly but more of just recap. The camera work isn't bad, they probably didnt always use stabalizers but it isn't obnoxiously looked at because it is such a sweet easy going show. The girls and boys are direct, probably from the time restriction so they do not want to waste time. There isn't any overly nude or anything like that, occurrence. Just sweet talking hanging out gestures.

"Love Deadline" is an original concept for a dating show where the proposal power goes to the girls and the tables are turned! The guys see what it feels like now! Here today, gone tomorrow is the theme as there is a "love deadline" but the guys don't know when that might come, so they need to cherish every moment and pursue the one they like without regrets. The cast is chosen because they are wanting to get married and find the one they want to have a family with and build a home with so the cast has had past relationships and are ready to find that lifelong connection. If the girl doesn't propose when their time is up, they go home with no further contact ever with the girl they fell for.

Just a couple of comments about the cast - First, Kai is the sweetest guy ever - why would anyone ever even hesitate at all in the slightest bit? Any girl would be so lucky to have him. And lastly, I feel Yushi got used by a social media influencer who might have been there for the wrong reason IMO. But let's face it - how many times have girls gotten used and hurt and dumped/ghosted basically so the tables really are turned unfortunately for those that got hurt. How many matches will be made?
