This show has quite an interesting concept and it is entertaining. However, the way the topics are addressed is disrespectful and lackluster. The hosts are rude and make really inappropriate comments all the time. I found this show misogynistic and gender aggressive, sadly, this is a portray of the way Japanese society views certain themes in an old fashion manner.

Additionally, I can't believe how this show is on Netflix and there are no consequences on the hosts or how they treated the participants. Especially, Atsushi Tamura was painful to watch, he was cruel to the participants and disrespectful to Mari Yagushi reveling aspects of her personal life. The line between trying to be funny and be plain rude never felt so thin.

I really enjoyed watching all episodes in a row. The dark secrets from the contestants are revealed in a nice tempo and keeps you interested in the whole affair. Contestants give the impression to be genuine and their stories also.. I will definitely watch next season when available.

I first watched this when it was released and was really immersed in the colourful characters they brought in!

The main host makes the show and in the one behind it all

Now in 2022 I've watched it again, enjoying it more than the first time round. I am hoping they release another season

Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.

The host is an absolute misogynistic nightmare. How in earth did this get made?

Good grief, I persevered to episode three but I just can't stand it...

Honestly this show is so bad but also so disgustingly enjoyable to watch. I finished the whole thing in a night. Like the hosts and some of the contestants are actually insufferable. Its so cringeworthy you'll start to question out loud why on earth you're still watching it. It's just a bunch of troubled people sharing their "issues" for a tv show as opposed to going to therapy. But my god does it make for great viewing. The pacing was good too. The male host might be the worst and most insufferable host I've ever come across. I guess the casting was good for the show though because he fit right in with some of the worst in the show.

You genuinely cannot guess some of the secrets these people have. You think you'll guess right and then suddenly they throw this huge curveball at you that you didn't even consider. It's more fun to just make a game out of it. Sometimes they're much more tame than anticipating but some others you legitimately cannot fathom someone would admit to. It honestly makes you gasp out loud. One of the guys is a genuine menace and it's worthwhile watching for his reveal alone.

------------------------------------------------------------- ::Spoiler warning:: I was genuinely happy for some of the contestants like the trans woman and the guy she was with and also scarf guy. Man I love scarf guy. I also really loved the mv debt girl, she was so cute I hope she's doing okay and escaped that creepy old guy. God that dude had the absolute worst personality I've ever come across. A legit potential offender. And also the ED guy.

The show is hilarious and well made.

Anyone who lived in Japan in the past must've watched the same genre of show being played in the middle of the night.

It's just different from what y'all are used to watch on Netflix. Just get over it.

Atsushi for example was always like that while playing manzaikonbi as London Boots comedian. Japanese people find hilarious when they make harsh comments. In Japanese culture, if you commit or did a bad thing in the past, you deserve to be mocked. You don't want people to make joke of you, don't get out of the line. Period.

That's one of japanese culture.

I'm maybe really privileged, so this is probably not my rights to say or tell what is wrong or right. But I still can't believe that Netflix has this one their page, allowing people to watch /stream. So the co-host Atsushi Tamura is often very manchovonist in his thoughts and how he presents the women in the show.

Even though the show trying to be more modern and European or like Western countries, they hole things seems so outdated. The women should be like 1920s. And the men are just ok, almost no matter what they do.

The show would've been good if the male host wasn't so insufferable. He made jokes about raping the women on the show and hitting them over the head. His jokes weren't even funny. I hope he falls in a pit and never returns...

I liked the idea of the show, and some of the participants were interesting. However the two hosts of the show were absolutely insufferable. They kept making transphobic remarks, calling the transgender woman a man, mocking her voice, posture, basically anything insulting you can think of. If you're transgender and you don't want to feel uncomfortable watching a tv show, skip this one. It's very triggering and rage inducing.

The male host would insult all the female contestants until they cried, fantasising about sexual abuse and outright harassing them. It was even more disgusting to hear victims of abuse be told that it was their fault (if they were women). I hope he meets legal repercussions for his behaviour.

The show is tagged as LGBT on Netflix despite the hosts constantly ripping down a contestant for being trans and misgendering her. The program is a huge bummer as all the men on the show seem to do whatever they want at womens' expense. I completely understand why female sex workers refused to go through with participating on the program having seen how belittled and bullied the female contestants were for much less taboo secrets.

I really enjoyed Love is Blind Japan and Love Deadline so I decided to try another Japanese reality dating show a go. However I was seriously floored by the male host and his commentary throughout. He was openly calling women very very nasty nicknames and even said to the group of men to not worry about their secrets as all the women were sl*ts anyway! He said that one of the women is the type to get r@ped and have kids at a young age because she's pretty. He was anti trans and very sexist! He didn't give the guys even a fraction of the same abuse.

I am flabbergasted that Netflix has allowed this stream and that this host Atsushi Tamuro has not had any repercussions from it and supposedly has continued on to host other reality shows.

Probably the worst show I ever watched, and I watched a lot of reality shows. The concept is I guess fine and makes you interested but the host and some of the contestants are so disgusting. I have never felt so angry at some of the people, just plain evil...Some of the gross comments made my mouth drop and made me really sad and I felt so discouraged by the fact that people like this are even on TV. As a woman, this show is devastating.. Granted, the concept about people's flaws and reality is there, like the show made some of the backstage drama public and that was very impressive, like this is a REAL, RAW TV show, which when you finally get, you don't want to see in reality. Also, keep in mind cultural differences. But putting things in perspective doesn't account for the fact that this show was just cruel and very sad, offensive, creepy and honestly scarring. Also - young people should not be allowed to see this.

OMG even in my title I had to put a Star to replace the S word - but this S word is used constantly in this show. I can have fun with joking about offensive subjects but how does it help when the hosts are calling the contestants such offensive terms?

I thought it was going to be really great to help those who were embarrassed about their past find a new start but was so difficult to watch because the host kept insulting the contestants in the name of humor. It was NOT FUNNY.

I am on episode 4 and have not fully given up yet...and I will update my review if the show redeems itself before the end.

I LOVE Asian programs but this one makes me sad and not in a good way.
