Single’s Inferno Season 4 (2025)

Long hair, nice face

1. Everyone looks pretty the same :/ both men and women
2. It was 12 ep but I barely remember anyone. (and it was so hard to know what's going on cuz they are so simillar)
Character of let's say - two/three people, was quite nice
3. One again - why almost everyone looks the same :! It drive me crazy.
The most boring season :( I could describe it with four words:
- Long hair, nice face -
Just now I forgot about 70% of what happened here.
I doubt that they will be together for at least a week after show.
To be a couple... moreover I doubt they'll end up as friends :/

Aight, let me be honest — I'm tryna only rate what could've been controlled, not the contestants merely.

Alright, now let me point this out right away: I've only watched Seasons 3 and 4, and I only know a little about Season 2.

So let's get into it:

Everyone's saying this was Si-ahn’s Inferno, but I don’t think that should be the main thing people rate the show on (at least I didn’t). Who the other contestants liked isn’t the cast’s fault. Sure, it made things boring — but honestly, blame the editing team for pushing it like some high-intensity competition and over-focusing on unnecessary stuff. Why does that dramatic music keep playing? Ew. It reminds me of those thirst traps on TikTok.

But I’m not here to rate the cast — I’m here to rate the show.

SYKE, let’s talk about the cast. As others mentioned, the casting choices were BULL. They clearly went by looks instead of picking personalities that would keep things dynamic, fun, and moving.

The competitions: Haven’t seen anyone mention this, but after a few episodes it’s clear the games rely way too much on physical strength — especially for the guys. That just makes it boring and unfair. Like... were the girls just some body diggers? This show heavily relies on visuals and physicality. At this rate, you might as well watch Physical: 100.

Format: They tried to act like the format was new — “Hey, this is different from the other seasons!” — but nah. Same as Seasons 2 and 3: contestants joining halfway, the same flow, same patterns. I’d only seen Season 3 and still predicted everything that was gonna happen. This show was predictable AF.

MUSIC WAS DOPE THOUGH

All in all, if Season 5 is gonna be like this, Netflix better just cancel it. You’d honestly be fine skipping it too.

Me before watching: 👦🏻
Me after watching: 👦🏻

Season 4 is a good one....You Should Watch It

Added note after viewer feedback on social media sites--Apparently SI4 has not been well received. There are viewer complaints that it was too boring, that Sian dominated and got all the viewing time, that the contestants were already celebrities so it was just staged to give them more publicity, that the "roughing it" element has been lost and Inferno is too cushy now, and there are complaints even about the panelists. So after reading some of the viewer feedback, here are my thoughts:
--if the producers are going to use only celebrity contestants (aka actors), we will all have to get use to an element of fake built in
--the panel brought the funny much more than the contestants....don't change the panelists!
--bring back the kitchen/cooking activity; the contestants were able to interact and even do some flirting AND it was entertaining
--I do agree that Sian dominated the show and I did get tired of her in every scene; some viewers have renamed this season to Sian Inferno 4, and I can see why
--I did not miss the cringey, awkward, floral tub bathing scenes between the couples. If the producers never do that again, it would be fine by me!!

Finished--just completed this season. First I want to say that I really enjoyed this season. All of the contestants were great. A lot less drama than season 3, but I didn't find it any less entertaining. Paradise was much, much better this season with the couples actually getting to do some fun stuff together. As far as the couplings, I admit I was wrong about Sian and Jun Seo. I honestly didn't think they would end up together. I like each of them, I just didn't think their personalities went together.

Dong Ho and Arin were absolutely my favorite couple. I'm glad they ended together. Arin was my favorite female contestant. I just loved her confidence (even when Dong Ho was with other girls) in herself, and her positive and energetic personality.

At the end I was worried about Jeong Su. He looked like he lost weight and just didn't feel well. Although he didn't end with Sian, I'm sure he'll find a nice girl as he is certainly a great catch. I don't know why more of the girls didn't see that. Unless there was editing and just some things we didn't get to see. He did seem conservative and traditional, and maybe today's modern Korean females don't want traditional. It's hard to say.

There is still some cringey with Single Inferno 4, but I think this is just a matter of different cultures. The two bed scenes (with Sian and Jun Seo, then with Sian and Jeong Su) were a little cringey. Not to the same degree as the floral tub scenes in earlier seasons. Sian and Jun Seo's bed scene did not seem romantic to me. It just seemed like it was a drunk guy getting into bed with a drunk girl, trying to make something happen, but too drunk to and she was passed out. I don't know....I didn't find it romantic like the panelists did. The bed scene with Jeong Su seemed a little too forced. He seemed really awkward, and I just get the feeling that in real life he is not that awkward, so it just felt too staged.

Creative Production But Hard to Bear the Red Flags

When I said creative production, I mean the programme of how male female contestants met is unique and not redundant with previous seasons. Making them getting to know each other at the beginning saves a lot of time, considering the programme lasts only 10 days. However, if they pair up with a wrong partner, it wastes their time instead. Although I don't like some contestants' character for this season, this show is my most awaited series each week, so it's good to give it a try without listening to people's critics.

Spoiler Alert! It seems hard to review this show without spoiler.

This season tends to give too much screen time to the red flags. My most boring part is Si An & Junseo. Si An was my most favourite female contestant at first, and I wouldn't mind that she took the most screen time, I started to be annoyed after she is hooked up with Junseo as this couple was so boring to me, and she ends up becoming my most hated female contestant.

At first, here's what I think about Si An:

Si An initially had feelings for Jungsu. When she went on a date with Theo, her mind was reminded about her date with Jungsu. However, because during camp fire, Jungsu said he wanted to go to paradise with another girl, she answered that her #1 was Theo when someone asked her. However, this answer wasn't true. Her response was affected by Jungsu's prior response only. Due to such hateful behaviour of Jungsu, while she wasn't much interested in Theo, she tried getting to know another man, Junseo. Then she fell for him as he cuddled her overnight, showing sweetness, but at the second date, she just realised Junseo is a tough type who doesn't speak sweetly as she expected. To be honest, if you understand Korean, his way of speech is rude. His language calling 'Hey' is similar to students who bully others (that's how I feel) and I understand why Si An is offended as she is not living in a community that uses such language. Dating someone who lives in a different community with different use of language might be hard to adapt. That might be what she is thinking. For Theo, he is really sweet, gentle and perfect. He should match her preference, but as she was not much interested in him since the beginning, perhaps his physical look is not her type. I'm not saying that he is not good-looking (To me, he is better looking than Junseo), but people have different preference, and Theo's look might not be Si An's type. Sometimes even if his personality is perfect, if his look is not her type, he can't win her. Actually when Si An chose Theo to Paradise, Si An was actually more interested in Dongho. She was trying to win Dongho over during the conversation, but Dongho wasn't interested in her. As Dongho didn't choose her, she chose between Theo and Taehwan. However, at the last episode, I become clear of who she is. She is the true red flag. If she is that into Jeonsu, why bother calling Jungsu to paradise on the last day? She even lied him about being not sure of his feelings, and that's why she leaned on Junseo's shoulder without caring about Jungsu's feelings who was sitting by. Honestly, if she was really confused, whether Jungsu has feelings for her or not, she wouldn't have leaned on another man's shoulder. Her excuse is not reasonable, and the next day, she called Jungsu to paradise. No wonder why Jungsu's face wasn't happy when he heard she chose him.

For those who are less than 30 years old and hate Jungsu, you need to read this. What you are thinking is not how it is and you don't understand because you are too young to understand.

Jungsu might receive a lot of hatreds in middle of the series, but I actually understand him as I am around the same age. When people reach the age of over 30, they tend to consider a lot of factors rather than just physical look and at where their heart is. This was proved when he explained Yujin in paradise. He even knows Si An is stubborn, so I suddenly realised my thought was right. This man was observing Si An whether she is his right pick, and that's why he didn't wanna show his feelings at the camp fire. This contrasts to how they behave when they are in 20s when they tend to be a one-woman man or a one-man woman. During camp fire, the show has just started for a few days, so it's natural that he still wants to get to know others. Even Dongho who is mostly said to be the most decent man still hadn't decided his pick ep 10 until, so it's too early for Jungsu to decide his pick at the camp fire. However, what's wrong with him is, he shouldn't say it out loud, while Si An was sitting beside him. Such behaviour is really hateful for women, but once his mind is set for Si An, he becomes a true gentleman. However, to be honest, I think he deserves a better and more gentle girl with dignity than Si An. A gentleman deserves a gentlewoman and not a girl who cuddled with a man she is unsure of overnight. I'm sorry if it sounds sarcastic, but I really believe he deserves a better girl.
Edited: Sorry, this is not a defence for Jungsu. This is how I perceive his character, but if you are more than 30 years old and perceive it differently, I wouldn't say you are wrong. When I said 'Gentleman', I refer to how he treated her. The way he slowly climbed up closer on the bed to her is a way to seek approval from her. He gave her time to reject if she doesn't like him being on the same bed. It contrasts to how Jeonsu did. I also gave him 'gentleman' because of how he treated Yujin during double date in Paradise. Although the girl he likes is Si An, he doesn't leave Yujin out. At first, I was worried Yujin would feel bad for the double date, but she didn't. He treated her well as a partner. If you think he is not a gentleman, I wouldn't say you are wrong as people may have different definitions of 'gentleman', and it is true he did wrongly. However, to me, just because of past wrongful actions, it doesn't mean everything about him is red flag. On the last day, I think he actually doesn't want to choose Si An anymore, but it's the last day already, and the show requires them to choose. I am sorry if I am too open-minded about him.

My most favourite female contestant is Yujin. I imagine what if she hadn't been to paradise with Junseo but with Jungsu or Dongho at the first date, would the story unfold differently? It is sad that her first date with the wrong partner makes her waste the time and lose opportunity.

For Taehwan, I feel that he sticked to Jiyeon not because he is interested in her, but because he wants to secure he has a partner who will choose him back at the end. Soon after he knew Jiyeon wasn't chosen by anyone and stayed at Inferno alone, he pursued her even though he is not that interested in her. Jiyeon's concern is right actually.

THE SHOW IS DAMN GOOD

The cast this season feels so genuine—definitely more so than in previous seasons. I’ve seen some comments calling Sian and Junseo "red flags," and honestly, I don’t get it. This is a dating show, and part of the experience is exploring different connections. Until the very end, nothing is set in stone.

Sian choosing to go to Paradise with Jeongsu on the last date or Junseo having a conversation with Minseol to see if she wanted to go to Paradise is completely understandable. If I were in their shoes, I would have done the same. Until an official relationship is formed, people have every right to explore their feelings. This isn’t just true for the show—it’s how things work in real life too.

I absolutely love how the show unfolds, and the cast’s authenticity makes it even better. There’s no forced drama or scripted moments—it all feels natural. If you’re looking for a dating show that brings romance, drama, friendship, competition, and a visually stunning cast, this one is worth watching.

Don’t rush to believe the negative comments—give it a chance and judge for yourself!

SINGLE’S INFERNO 4 FINALLY DELIVERS ON ROMANCE AND DRAMA

Spoiler-Free Thoughts
Single’s Inferno 4 was just pure fun—filled with beautiful contestants, great chemistry, and just the right amount of drama. Love triangles? Oh, there were plenty. Love squares? Maybe even those, too. The season had its frustrating moments (those long episodes really tested my patience), but most of it was absolutely worth it. Whether you’re here for the romance, the competition, or just the chaotic interactions, this season delivered in a way the last one didn’t.

(Spoilers Ahead!)

Now, if you’re not a fan of Sian and Junseo, this review might not be for you. I won’t be debating their choices or justifying why I loved them. If you’re still here—welcome! Let’s get into it.

Single’s Inferno 4 exceeded my expectations. After the mess that was Season 3, I was worried we’d get another frustrating, predictable storyline filled with shallow connections and forced drama. Instead, we got a season where, for once, the contestants actually seemed like they wanted to find love. The drama was high, but it didn’t feel unnecessarily toxic. The cast was more mature, the interactions felt more natural, and we finally had couples who actually had chemistry.

The standout pairs? Sian & Junseo, and Dong Ho & Arin. The rest? Mid. Tae Hwan? Weird. Theo? Beautiful, but honestly, he felt like an AI-generated K-drama lead. He looked perfect, spoke perfectly, and did everything "right," but something about him just didn’t feel real. I have no doubt he’s a great guy, just not the right person for Sian.

SIAN AND JUNSEO: THE ONLY LOVE STORY THAT MATTERED

The amount of Sian hate this season was unreal, and honestly, I don’t get it. She followed her heart, and that’s exactly what the show is about. People acted like she was obligated to pick the "safe" guy, but love doesn’t work like that. Junseo made her heart race, and she chose him. Simple.

Was Junseo perfect? No. But the chemistry was undeniable, and the push-and-pull dynamic between them was what made the season worth watching. There was something raw and real about the way they connected, and you could see that they genuinely liked each other beyond the surface level.

I loved that Sian didn’t just pick the guy who adored her the most. She went with the person who challenged her, who made her feel something deeper than just comfort. And for that, I respect her.

DONG HO AND ARIN: THE UNDERSTATED POWER COUPLE

Dong Ho and Arin were the quiet but steady couple that provided a nice contrast to the Sian-Junseo chaos. Their relationship didn’t have the dramatic highs and lows, but it was clear that they were drawn to each other from the beginning. The way Dong Ho always gravitated back to Arin despite the distractions spoke volumes. He never played games, never wavered, and that made their connection feel real and solid.

I do wish we had seen more of their interactions because the editing seemed to focus too much on the love triangle drama instead. But from what we did get, they were one of the most wholesome and authentic couples of the season.

THE REST OF THE CAST: FORGETTABLE

The other couples? They existed. That’s about it.

Tae Hwan: Something about him felt... off. He gave me mixed signals the entire time, and his "I was waiting for someone to change my mind" excuse? Weak.

Theo: Beautiful, perfect, but almost too perfect. He felt like a carefully curated love interest rather than a real contestant. No personality flaws, no real emotional depth—just vibes. I admire his patience, but he was never going to be the one for Sian.

The rest: I’m struggling to even remember their names:(

FINAL THOUGHTS

Single’s Inferno 4 gave us romance, real chemistry, and just the right amount of drama. While the show still has production issues—choppy editing, some forced moments—it was a huge step up from the last season. Sian and Junseo carried this season (2nd half of it) , and I will stand by that.

If you didn’t like them, that’s fine, but for me? They made the season. I hope you have a wonderful day.

I Disagree with the other reviews

I watched the other Singles Infernos and I think this one was one of the best seasons that they released. It was very raw, the contestants were truly interesting and had great personalities, there were a lot of twists, the reaction of the hosts was always on point and hilarious. I know people complain that it had a lot of focus only on Si An, and I think that was fine with me, the focus went to the other contestants a lot too. I just wish in the last episodes there were more interaction of the other couples though, but overall it kept being interesting and addicting until the end.

Documentário de Si-an?

Assisti ele com tanta esperança de que tudo podia mudar, mas no final não queria ter dado a chance final pra ele.

O programa foi totalmente focado no dilema de Lee Si-an, 3 dos rapazes ficaram encantados por ela, ela teve a chance de ir ao Paraíso todas as vezes, então teve tempo de conhecer ele. Dessas opções de homens ela escolhe o mais questionáveis, um homem ríspido, meio mal-educado.

Senti falta de ver o desenvolvimento dos outros casais, como eles começaram a se gostar? Quando eles tiveram tempo para conversar? Ficaram esses questionamentos.

Espero que a próxima temporada volte a ser como as outras e não foque totalmente em um único participante.

Sian’s Inferno

O reality tem decaído a cada temporada, e essa obviamente foi a pior. Mas felizmente nos fez conhecer o Theo, esse querido merece o mundo!
O fato de tudo girar em torno da Sian, me fez criar um ranço enorme por essa mulher, não tinha um dia de paz sem ver ela no ‘inferno’. Não sei da onde ela tirava tanta força nas competições.
Queria muito a felicidade do Theo, mas Sian não o merece. O fato dela ter escolhido o ogro Junseo diz muito sobre ela. Se ela tivesse escolhido o Jungso que a trata super bem teria sido bem melhor.
Arin e Dongho terminando juntos foi meu consolo! Meu casal permaneceu mesmo com a tentação da vida jogo kkkk
Jiyeon é uma querida linda, que creio que só saiu de mãos dadas com o Tehwan pra não sair sozinha nem ser taxada de má. Mas ela não gostava dele de verdade, ele é chato e egocêntrico.
Hyejin e Jonghoon nem tiveram muito tempo de tela, coitados.
Youjin forçava muito a barra mas era engraçado ver ela com o Jeongsu e tbm com o Theo.
Minseo gostei muito dela, muito fofa ela reclamando com as amigas kkkk, torci muito no início por ela e o Junseo. Mas ele se tornou cada vez mais red flag.
De green flag tivemos dongho e o Theo meus favs
