EXchange

The source of my sleep depriveness - too bingeworthy!

No joke. I literally didn't want to do anything but watch this show when I started it.

Having to find love in front of their ex is heartbreaking and cruel, but at the same time, very insightful for them I'm sure. By living under one roof together, the feelings become fast-forwarded and the emotions, extra heavy. I became invested in every member and their relationship, wanting to see how new couples start to envelope and wondering whether or not they will get back with their ex. It's super interesting to see the differing emotions between a couple who recently broke up to one who ended things 11 years ago.

If it wasn't for the cast, I don't think I would have enjoyed the show as much. One thing they could improve on is the guest star. I barely noticed majority of them because they don't have enough screen time. More thoughts from them please! Don't invite an idol just for them to be conscious of their words!

I would 100% watch Season 2 if there is one, but I don't think it will ever top this diverse cast.

Fave dating reality show so far!

Woah... This was such an enjoyable and distressing watch. Don't expect anything but pain from this.
It is one of those shows that you just watch expecting nothing but quick entertainment but ends up leaving you thinking about it more than expected. Honestly, this is the first time I've cried with a Korean dating reality show, it was such an experience seeing the different layers regarding a breakup aftermath and how all the couples dealt with it.

Personally, there were some of their stories I could relate a lot and by putting me on a spectator point of view had me retrospect so much about my own experiences as well, so much I was able to understand my past experiences even more and kind of made me feel nostalgic like they were feeling all the time. Please, if you enjoy realistic sort of dating shows and pain go watch it, no doubts, especially now that finally subtitles are available.

Needless to say, my heart still aches for some of them...
