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.

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.

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.

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.

In short it's like a group of friends that don't know each other thrown on a getaway island.

Not much really happens. They walk the beach, make breakfast, sit around, then sleep. Once in a while they play very underwhelming mini games.

It's supposed to be a show about dating and love but many contestant are only there to promote themselves and it's quite obvious.

Very few genuine chemistry actually happen. I believe they need a more diverse selection of guys. At least guys that have different taste in girls. Most of the guys like the same girl and that's a bit anti-climatic. It's still kind of interesting seeing casual banter between each other. There are also some fan service with slow motion shots and cool aerial cinematography.

The show needs more fun and light-hearted moments. Perhaps more team activities and adventures that let people put down their guard and show their true selves. Jetski race! Do a dance party! Have a water gun fight. Go explore the island and see who catches the first crab or lizard. Anything.

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!!

Going good actually , not boring you're just curious whats gonna happen really fun if you're looking for something different from dramas, its really interesting to watch.

The characters are suuuuper hot the vibe is good so far so good.

"Love" or "relationships" should be built gradually and not set within an environment where everybody wants to sleep with each other on Day 1 aka Love Island or Too Hot To Handle.

Western culture (my culture) could learn a thing or two seriously from Korea. How did we become so low with dating in our society?

I find the show refreshing and not sexual (finally).

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!

At this point I have watched a couple episodes of season 4..... yikes so disappointing. Initially they gave the participants the change to see each other as individual persons but this season apparently they are ONLY just focusing on physical appearance and little else.

It is very obvious that they have cameras right in front of them and are 'putting on a show'.

Phew very shallow individual participants and a real lack of creativity in the structure of the show.

Having watched all three seasons so far of singles inferno I will I will just share my thoughts.

First.

The first two seasons were interesting, cute and a little fun. Having watched season three I was very very disappointed. It seemed from the Very beginning that the participants were somewhat coached to immediately go after a partner without even taking the time to get to know them very well. It totally changed the dynamics of all the whole show and relationships. It made season 3, more shallow, more physically focused and not focused on the people and the personalities and the character of anybody. It just wasn't fun to watch at all, I ended up jumping to the end just to find out how it ended up. If they do another season I hope they choose a better location. The whole setup and how they progressed through the show was just confusing and annoying.

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 .

While I enjoyed the first season, I found it unnecessarily slow. We didn't have to have a recap everytime what someone did was, referred to. Did we have to c the whole conversation over again? I loved Japan's Terrace House which was also slow but the goofy comedian hosts were a welcome relief. They were really funny. These hosts are like sticky porridge....no original comments and certainly no jokes. Very staid oohs and aahs was about all they cld come up with. And could someone please ask the female contestants to stop flicking their longs and stroking their manes....so annoying. The show needs to become slicker, smarter, funnier and faster for me to watch another season.

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).

First things first. My expectation going in was that this would be a less self-centered and more civilized version of similar western shows. Instead it pushes the looks-are-everything narrative ten fold.

Practically every interaction up until the later episodes feels like the contestants talking exclusively about appearances. Who knew a specific shape of nose or type of eyelids (?) is the most important thing in the world. And sure, when it comes to the contestants (young attractive people in the influencer/model mold) that type of superficial outlook is maybe to be expected. What threw me off was the commentators join in on it.

The show really should've had an all-comedian type commentating team that could poke fun at the mind numbing shallowness of it all.

Still it was a fun enough guilty pleasure type of show with some genuine feeling moments sprinkled throughout.

This show is so less vulgar than dating shows. The consideration and respect of everyone in so interesting. For instance, "watch your eyes, are you okay" constantly checking in on each other, the things they find attractive. It's never "a big butt" etc like the western shows, it's all about eyes, being healthy or delicate etc. I can no believe how relaxing this show is to watch and how much more romantic it is. I also am so intrigued by the mens style and how it would be considered feminine here in America, but it's so nice to see men in another culture so secure in themselves that dressing nicely is more acceptable. I also LOVE the commentary during the episodes. I watch this alone and it's nice to hear their thoughts as well. Makes me want to bring out the popcorn.

If you're from the west and like this- try watching love is blind Brazil, America, and Japan and compare the cultures and respect. While I know Korea and Japan are different of course, the slow burn romance remains in both. I love this!!

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.

Looking at the candidates' intermingle with each other is fun.

But for season three, the girls all look the same, the same hairstyle, same makeup technique, same face, same , same same...same giggling, same playing with their hair constantly, i would say, they are kind of boring without any outstanding personality.

Guys are better, at least, they each have their own personality etc.

But the game part is funny and interesting, overall, it is a relaxing and fun show to pass the time. And the setting I can see the producers have put in a lot of effort, so thumbs up for the effort, and the hotel is ultra luxury.

This show was pitifully terrible, sorry. The concept doesn't live up to its name.

"Inferno" -- The contestants didn't undergo any hardships besides cooking, i.e. An everyday task. They didn't even have to harvest/hunt for their food.

They took some footage at the beginning of them getting water at a pump in Episode 1, but beyond that you never saw a single drop of sweat on any of them, or their hair out of place, despite them complaining how hot it was. Quite suspicious.

"Paradise" and Matchmaking - This show's premise is: you have to find a partner to be successful, otherwise you're stuck in inferno. However, there is no real consequence of staying on the island. Moreover, this format forces contestants to date each other not because they want to, but because they need to in order to go to Paradise. That's the opposite of growing love organically.

Rich Kids - It's laughable to think these are your average Korean youth. They're all rich kids. They all own their own brick-and-mortar stores in a city where youth are struggling with debt. Wearing Chanel and other designer items on a "deserted inferno" further underwhelms the concept of the show.

Producers/panelists also encouraged toxic masculinity. The guy who kept getting rejected exhibited behavior that concerned me. He was a guy who didn't know how to handle being "rejected" and he gaslit one of the girls in response to her telling him the truth about his behavior. His unpredictable and unstable reactions made me honestly believe we was going to make a physical altercation. It was unsettling to watch.

Very few of the reactions felt natural. Everything felt carefully planned and scripted. This was difficult to get past.

I hope they either drastically improve the concept of the show or scrap it entirely. Korea has a lot of great media, this just wasn't one of those for me, unfortunately.

Some people in the reviews are just haters. The host are sweet and hilarious. They make the show interesting with their inputs and say the things we are thinking too. Sometimes it feels a little obvious but nothing to hurt the overall experience. The casting of the characters in the show are well done. They all are unique and beautiful/handsome in their own ways. I love how awkward and suspenseful this show is and often look forward to what will happen next. This show is a great entertainer.
