Offline Love

Do you believe in fate?

Ten strangers gather in the picturesque city of Nice in France without any mobile devices.

The strength of this show definitely lies in its premise. While other dating shows have a more structured approach, Offline Love allows the participants to freely roam around the city and act according to their desires. This not only allows us to develop a more personal attachment to the participants, but also evokes the excitement of travel. Offline Love includes beautiful shots of Nice's streets, squares and beaches.

Another strength is found in the cast for Offline Love. We find a variety of attitudes towards love, and approaches to communicate it. Offline Love allows us to discover more about the participants' hobbies and interests than shows like Single's Inferno, which does not reveal a lot about its participants beyond the surface level, making it more difficult to form a connection. I have regularly found myself relating to, or being intrigued by cast members of Offline Love, however.

I hope to see a continuation of this show with the same premise, in another city. This show has not only allowed me to reflect on my own strengths and weakness by watching the participants' developments, but has also stimulated me to live more in the moment and be more aware of my surroundings. Perhaps, someday, I will find my own Offline Love that way.

Aaawww..if I could, I would watch this Japanese series again and again. There is just something so heart warming about the contestants in this series.

Compared to other Western reality shows, like Love Is Blind and Love Island with their blatant sexuality, and contestants scheming behind each other's backs, the 10 participants here are so wholesome and supportive of each other. The furthest they went was to hold hands and a kiss on the forehead. Haha.

They are always decently dressed, many in beautiful vintage wear and are just so stylish and beautiful. There is no need for any of them to be sexily dressed to be likeable and attractive.

The gorgeous background of Nice and it's neighbouring communes of Cannes, Grasse , Eze etc just made this series all the more attractive and watchable. Photography was top notch and picture perfect, it made me want to savour all the food they ate, visit the vintage stores and amazing cafes and walk the cobblestone streets of Nice. Well done on promoting the South of France as a beautiful tourist destination!

And now to the 10 contestants - basically, they are all attractive people. None oozing sex appeal but so adorable in their own way. Of course, they all have their own strengths and weaknesses, and some are unfortunately more irritating and attention seeking than others but it's all in good fun.. I have my firm favourites - Kanaka, Nanami, Kensuke, Sho and Yudai.

Do watch it and enjoy! I didn't think I would love it that much, but I was hooked from the start! It's one of those series that saw me laughing out loud many times with the funny commentaries by the 3 joyfully funny commentators, despite totally relying on subtitles..the humour is not lost!

I wish the best for all the participants - for those who paired up and those who didn't, and I really look forward to a Part 2!!

Oh how I love this show! Please have Season 2 please! My sister and I watch the show on Neflix and agree that it is the most thumbs up dating show among all those we have seen. This show is enjoyable as it have beautiful scenery, foods, relaxing vibe, with fate bringing participants together. It is more natural and real, while I love that the show's three hosts' comments are on point, decent, interesting, funny and add a colour to the show! The first show that I really feel lovely to watch, as it allows participants to walk around a city, with many travelling included, too fun to watch! Another important thing to say is that this show has selected participants with high quality and background, with pretty and handsome looks, unlike some other shows that I don't feel like watching for real. I love love love this show. Please do have Season 2, I'll be waiting!

I super loved this show, I am glad that netflix produce another Japanese Reality TV show similar to Terrace House vibe. I love Terrace house so much but unfortunately they stopped producing, but with Offline Love? I freaking love it so much that the vibe is there, the comedian commentators, the city of Nice, the real feelings, and real scenario, like It's sooo good! I really love it! I really can't express enough how I like it.

I never expected that I would cry with this show, and I laughed so hard with the scenes, and cringiness of the cast, like the feelings are so real, like i don't know.. And the twist.. Like after watching this, I also realize that FATE might be real. And also, If the person really likes you, they will always choose you even they have met and talked to other person. Like there will be a person for you, and let just FATE do its magic.

PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW, so you'll know what i am saying!

Terrace house fans should really check this out

if you missed Terrace House this will be perfect for you - the vibe, editing, style, the characters, the commentators - everything about it reminds me of Terrace House.

You will fall in love with some characters, and you will definitely hate some of them.

In some ways this is a more 'refined' & 'fulfilling' show minus the unnecessary nonsense & drama in Terrace House. 10 episode feels just nice - and complete.

I really hope they have a season 2.

One of the best reality tv show out there, and definitely better n more REAL than other average reality dating shows.
