L'inferno dei single

I just watched the whole season in one day and I cant even watch one episode of American versions of this . Loved it . The innocence the people the pure location the conversations the respect and in one word the culture was so refreshing and great to watch .

Compared with western dating shows, especially ones based at beaches this was sooooo different. The western ones are loud and trashy, which makes them hugely fun and cringy. This show is such a reveal of the difference in cultures. From the way the people interact to what is acceptable to talk about, such as skin colour, face shape and a preference for single or double eyelids. Amazing insight. Not much happens in this show, and if you're looking for crazy entertainment, this isn't it. In many ways it's rather beautiful.

One more thing! These young folk can cook! With basic ingredients, they whip up many a meal that looks amazing.

Even though many of the participants' decisions made me so frustrated, they really kept me hooked and always gasping!

I really enjoyed watching this show, it was really refreshing to see a dating show that wasn't all about hooking up and bickering!

Yea-Won and So-Yeon are queens btw!

Season One: 7.5/10

Themes: Reality-TV, Dating, Island-Life, Luxury, Food & Korean.

Review: I honestly thought this was a really nice show. The pacing is on the slower side, so if you don't have the patience for that and need constant drama, then this will not be the show for you. It's super calm and mild, but I kind of liked that. It gave the show a more charming and even natural feel to it. Some of the editing was a little frustrating though, as we did not always get to see the scenes (and the people) I was most interested in, but I suppose that that is more due to personal taste. Overall, I was entertained watching this and I found it interesting to see interactions within a culture so different from my own.

Favourite contestants: Shin Ji-yeon (S1) & Moon Se-hoon (S1).

Least favourite contestant: Song Ji-a (S1).

It is amazing how cool the Korean Culture. People may not even shake hands let alone give a hug or handshake. More than anything, this show is letting me know just how many layers humans can have and it is fun to watch. I like the pacing of the show - it does not try too hard to get your attention span and grows gradually. I like most people on the show and the culture is quite rich, sets are good without the usual drama we associate with islands and single people. I have seen just the first 2 episodes and I am patiently awaiting more.
