happy ending
When I tell you I was so pumped for every Tuesday, this show had my heart on edge for WEEKS. But we finally got that happy ending. Dai & Shun are end game 😭😭😭I think a lot of people were frustrated with Shun but as someone who works with trauma clients, I understood him. He’s been through a lot, it doesn’t justify all of his behavior but it’s understandable that he’d be insecure and cautious and have trouble trusting Dai. Dai is the ultimate dream guy. So patient, so kind, excellent communicator. Dai and Alan were my favorites on the show. Wonderful humans. The only one that annoyed me really was Ryota, boy was too obsessed and needed to move on.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty good drama-free reality TV show
Everyone deserves a Dai in their lIfe; he was so understanding, so patient and committed. I love how truthful Shun was whenever he decided to express himself; he might not do it right away but he does not take long either.i also like the differences of the two couples. Alan and Kazuto( more like Kazuto) wanted to take time in getting to know each other; they were less touchy( more like Kazuto again).
Everyone is so foccused on Shun and did not realize that Kazuto was doing more or less to Alan.
Alan and Dai are definitely head over heels over their reapective partners, and very patient and understanding.
i definitely shed a tear or two for Gensei and Taeheon. Ryota should have left right after Gensei. He was clearly rejected by Kazuto then. not sure why and how he remained hopeful.
I have only watched His Man season 2 but if you asked The Boyfriend was pretty good. i. Lastly, i really likes how the hosts were watching it as we were as well.

Participants are so kind, mature, and empathetic.
First of all, this is a fast-paced dating show where the participants have been together for just one month, and it only has 10 episodes, each about 40 minutes long. Obviously, a lot of things are skipped, and we don't get to know their full stories. However, let’s talk about the participants because I found them amazing. They are so kind, mature, and empathetic. As expected from Japanese people, they are respectful and have great personalities!Shun - He’s the most complicated participant on the show. If you don’t try to understand him, you might be turned off by his behavior. But if you look at him from a deeper perspective, you’ll understand why he acts the way he does. All of his actions make sense when you consider his past experiences with pain and trauma in previous relationships. I would also be mentally unstable if I were in his position. That said, I actually appreciate that he’s on the show because it highlights how difficult it can be for someone to open up after failed relationships. However, I believe he needs professional help after the show to fully recover and to prevent hurting others due to his actions.
Dai - Oh, to be loved by Dai. Imagine being emotionally unstable and having this guy be so patient with you. I also love what he said to Ikuo: "I'm not the type of guy who would make him insecure." Hands down, respect! Despite being the youngest along with Ikuo, he’s not afraid to address important issues within the house. I admire that about him. The only thing I didn’t like was how he treated Ikuo, but I understand his perspective.
Kazuto - This guy is like collecting men as if they’re keychains, lmao. But am I complaining? No, because I would also be head over heels for him since he’s so nice and has a decent personality. The fact that he doesn’t take anyone for granted after learning they like him is impressive. However, he’s one of the participants I’d like to know more about because he’s so mysterious.
Ryota - Oh, come on, Ryota, don’t push it so hard, lmao. You’re handsome and nice, but you shouldn’t press your affections on someone too much, as that can be uncomfortable for them. Nevertheless, I appreciate how he always listens to Shun and doesn’t get tired of his behavior.
Alen - Impressive personality! He’s a must-have in any dating show because his presence likely keeps things in place and at peace. Although he’s like a peacemaker, he’s not nosy and knows his boundaries. I love that about him. I also admire how he adjusts for Kazuto, slowing down his fast-paced nature just for him. I personally think he’d be a great friend in real life!
Gensei - I refuse to believe he’s already 34 because he still seems like a baby! He’s so cute!
Taehoon - I also appreciate him being on the show because he’s mature, and I like the advice he gave to Shun. I wish him the best outside the show with his family and love life.
Usak - I’ll forever miss his chicken breast shake, lmao. Despite being the sexy guy at work, he’s quite shy. I love him and wish him luck as well.
Ikuo - I love that he told Dai it was painful to see how Shun was treating him and that Dai deserved better. I think that’s true. Although he might seem nosy, I can really feel his care for Dai. I just wish he had arrived earlier; he might have had a better chance with Dai.... or maybe not.
I hope I didn’t forget anyone.
I truly enjoyed the show! It might not be the best dating show, but it’s binge-worthy, and the participants are all nice and lovable!

Hmmm.... much more boring compared to His Man
While it's nice to see interactions between people searching for a live-partner, I don't need a panel who does explain me what happenend. That is so annoying and belittles the viewer imho.So I prefer "His Man" over this by far, because there are much more open feelings, much more conflict, much more misunderstandings and much more butterflies.
Overall a OK show, but I skipped the panel all the time. But I'm disappointed about the length of the show, because they were together for four weeks and have less material as "His Man" which is much more intense and interesting for just a week.

Good start for same sex love
I thought this series is a good start for same sex, NETFLIX. This series is for open minded people or those who want to be open minded. This series shows us a lot about boys love and teaches us how love can blossom in Same sex as well.It shows how they become friends and how they develop feelings for each other. And entertaining too, there is a love truck which blossom the emotions for each other in a way that nobody could imagine. I Love This Series.Was this review helpful to you?
I recommend more
Greeting, overall the show is very amazing but we are not getting the full story, we only get 2 clips of one day and it's not really interesting and fun for me to be honest, I feel like we need more and we need to see more in order to really understand and feel the chemistry of the guys.Please work on that.

love, friendship, and LIFE
I seriously enjoy this show, and I really really mean it!!To start off I agree with the hosts in the end, that show showed more emotional learning, than it is for the drama as people find that "entertaining". I love the building of both friendship and relationship and truly loved it was called The Boyfriend so it has the double meaning of friends and relationship!
I appreciated how (despite yes it was pretty fast paced I get itt) we got almost all aspects of learning from these boys, and I really appreciate their lives and courage for coming in to the show! I enjoyed learning about them and how they like to live life, it makes me think about me life as well hahaha I really love the hosts who can give such good input on the situations!
And OMG the songs!! Please everything was so good!
So cheers to the boys and everyone who worked on this show, it truly was a dating show that literally gave life!! I say really one of the best reality dating show ever!!
A short review but I want bump up the rating as it truly deserves a high rating!! hahahah

Shun, Dai, and Hayato
Should've just changed the title to Shun, Dai, Hayato. LOLWhat the hell did I just watch? And I don't mean this in a malicious way
I have never encounter a human being such as Shun. He is so sure of himself, not wavering, know his negative self, and present his true self. I admire him.
Sometimes people went to this kind of reality show and want to present a different kind of character or different personality, than in their real life.
So, Shun really moved me, his character, his true to himself.
I truly, truly hope he can be happy with Dai

I cheered I cried I cheered
I'm not a bit fan of reality show and I really thought this would be some lame show like paradise hotel.but it had alot of value with it. I could understand why shuen was like he was cause I am like him too.
and I have a rule if a how make me cry, laugh and be all fluffy then it's a succes.
it also made want to try find love my self, wich I have given up on. because it's hard when you are like Shuen who has been disapointed over and over, to open up. but also when you are a person who dosnt fall in love right away, but first when there are shown interest to you. then it's hard.
so now I'm rooting for them, cause they are dang cute together.

Worth every single second
To be honest, I've never really been a fan of dating shows or series and films that deal with love and romance. But omg, I've never cried so much. Not because it was sad, but because it was so beautiful to see how they all grew, how they made friends, developed further, and some even fell in love. The ending particularly touched me, because their paths diverged after spending so much time together. As far as I know, they're all still in contact, but it's not like the green room anymore.Many people say that Dai is a player, but I absolutely disagree. In my opinion (and this is my opinion!), Dai is exactly what Shun needed. Shun needs someone to listen to him about his past, what he's been through, etc., and he needs someone with a lot of patience, and in that respect, he's come to the right place with Dai. We all know that Dai didn't have it easy with Shun's attitude and all the arguments, but they got through it together and now have their happy ending. Honestly, I cried at the end when they said they loved each other... it was so beautiful.
To be honest, I can't say much about Alan and Kazuto. I didn't really feel what was going on between them, but they seemed happy and as far as I know they are still good friends today.
Gensei and Ryota. Omg, it's so sad that the two didn't become anything more than friends in the end. But Ryota was still very attached to Kazuto, even if he didn't really want to admit it when he spent time with Gensei. Gensei always seemed so happy in Ryota's presence, and he was always soo happy when Ryota made him a coffee; it was so heartwarming. So sad that Gensei left a few days before the end.
At first, I didn't really like Ikou. I had a strong feeling he would ruin things between Shun and Dai. But when Ikou confessed his feelings to Dai, and Dai explained that he was in love with Shun and would stay that way, Ikou accepted it, and I thought it was really nice that he took it so well. I think Ikou was just happy to be able to share his feelings with Dai.
When Usak left, I cried just as much as the other Green Room members; it was very sad. You could see that he was struggling to reveal his feelings or his true personality in general. Because of his job as a go-go dancer, he only shows what others expect of him, and that makes it harder for him to express his feelings and his true personality.
Last but not least, we come to my favorite, Taeheon. We saw very little of him in the show, which I found very sad. I loved him from the beginning; he was always funny and always there for the other members when they needed him. It's a shame he didn't fall in love here, but I hope even more that we'll see Taeheon again in the second season.
To sum it all up, I LOVED IT. EVERYTHING. EVERY SINGLE MINUTE

Great series
I’m late to The Boyfriend train but I binged it yesterday. I don’t care for reality tv but I was curious, it’s very obvious that many people are going to misunderstand Shun and his actions and yes there were some times where I was like “Shun common” but as someone who had been in toxic relationships I understand Shun and I don’t think him setting boundaries for Dai is a bad thing. Shun didn’t want to get hurt again so he put walls up to avoid it and that’s completely understandable. He eventually brought those walls lower once he started to trust Dai.Was this review helpful to you?
