It's Gen 4's introduction show...surprise!
I think that DMD had a really good idea when they chose to make season 1 of this show. To be completely honest the term reality may not really be applicable in this situation. If you watched season 1: DMD Friendship the Reality starring the Gen 3 of DMD (Thomas, Kong, Keng, Namping, Latte, Tee tee, Gems, Tle, Firstone) then you would realize that it's almost identical.Surprisingly enough, it still is an enjoyable watch. I recon that DMD made this show for the talents themselves to get to know one another better and figured it would be nice if the audience could watch which is honestly a really good choice to make. The reason I can say this is that I followed along the story and got to actually know the talents beyond just a name basis. This show humanizes them showing us that even though they are talents, they have flaws and are working towards improving themselves. We get to see how the talents view themselves, how they view their friends, how they view their partners, and how hard they work to get to where they currently are.
If you want an introduction to Gen 4 then go ahead and watch this show. It's basically a guide for the fans to figure out who they are, who they're partnered up with, what their goal for their career is, and how they interact as a group. I loved that DMD brought in the older gen (Jimmy, Latte, Tee tee, and Net) to actually emphasize that "yes you'll get the partners officially on screen" This show might just be an officiating ceremony to show everyone that the ghost ships are now official.
Honestly go watch this and season 1 if you haven't. This is an easy watch with only 6 episodes total. I guarantee that you'd have fun watching this! Can't wait for the pairings official series and I'm so happy that Latte and Tee tee finally have partners!!

Another season for DoMunDi TV production to promote his next BL pairings
A little less than 1 year after "DMD Friendship the Reality" featuring 3rd gen actors, DoMunDi TV production is coming back with a new season introducing this time its 4th gen actors.While the novelty factor is not there anymore and this season feel much more orchestrated, scripted and in overall more produced than S1, I quite enjoyed myself. If there were (a lot) of expected results regarding the pairings (especially if you have seen most recent DoMunDi TV production or are deep into BL series' news), there were also a couple of more candid moments that I found really touching. Those very little tidbits, seemingly pure and non-scripted, really made me want to follow more of some of the talents.
As in season 1, this show is not without flaws. The budget feel once again super limited. I also wish that the various missions were more fleshed out and featuring more acting with some workshops between participants. The cast is not as balanced as it could be, with some very junior people and some much more seniors participants, making it kinda difficult to have a fair competition, without feeling there are obvious favorites. Still, I'm looking forward to the next projects of most of the "newly" formed pairings.
I would recommend this to people that have enjoyed the previous season or that are a fan of DoMunDi TV production. It is both very cute and very cringe as it features the participants trying to find their "partners" with rewards being "friendship time" very similar to a dating show.

Not Only Friendship was Found in this Show but a Partnership
I’ve been meaning to watch this show for a long time but never got the chance to watch it since I’ve been so busy, but I finally got to watch DMD Friendship the Reality, It Takes Two. This show was really enjoyable and I was really grateful that this was a show because I haven’t watched the first season which I should’ve, but I genuinely wanted to watch this season mainly for TeeTeePor and AuauSave since I’ve been following Por and Auau since they debuted in DVI which was a long time ago. I liked the concept of this show since I feel it’s good for a couple to mutually choose each other instead of being assigned to each other which is common in the industry, but what I liked about it is that everyone had the option to choose someone they liked, felt comfortable with, basically everything that you would experience if they were a real life couple instead of an acting couple and I feel that’s very important especially for real chemistry since this show let everyone hang out and learn more about the person they were interested with and even though it was awkward at times they will eventually get used to it, but they will have good chemistry and a good friendship. What I also liked about this show is that not only did actors find their partners, but they also got the opportunity to make more friends under the Domundi and they got to be friends and make friendships with people under Gen 4 instead of them never getting to meet each other due to their schedules and only meet through events. Also I may spoil some parts of the show so be aware.Honestly this show made me actually more obsessed with couples I didn’t think I would be obsessed with and I found new actors that I love. I would say the only bad part of this show was adding people in later on since I felt it did give those people less chances for getting to know people or it had a good effect since it did lead to many people finding there partner. Anyways these were my opinions on everyone. I am gonna be honest I haven’t seen First Prince yet but I have watched the trailer so I knew Jimmy and Ohm were gonna be a couple and I have seen many TikToks of Jimmy and Ohm and I love their vibe since they are actually really funny together and I do feel that when I was watching this show they were like a real life couple because Jimmy was one of the latecomers but when he came he was like attached to Ohm and they were cute and it was hard to not feel this was a dating show because of how they acted but I think this is the good part of the show since it shows that Jimmy and Ohm have actual chemistry and I honestly can’t wait to see them in Magic Lover (praying it comes out this year). I knew Latte and Kim were gonna be a couple since I’ve seen TikTok’s of them together, but I wasn’t as interested in them that much since I didn’t know either of them and they haven’t been in a show together yet so I haven’t seen anything of them but I will watch the first season so I can see how Latte was and learn more about him, but I will say that I loved Kim since I feel he’s a genuine and nice person and he deserved the award for the friendliest person (I think that was what it was) since he connected with everyone and knew how to make everyone feel more comfortable with not only him but with everyone else and I especially loved him for talking to Save when he was down about Auau not picking him during the first episode since it showed that Kim is a nice person. I have seen Net in his previous shows with James and I loved him so much and I was actually a fan of his when him and James “broke up” and I remember crying for him and seeing his sad face on a livestream and I am so grateful that he met JJ since I actually love him so much and I feel he’s such a good person. I loved both Net and JJ in this show and I don’t care if Net was a latecomer because it was obvious that JJ was gonna be with Net since they’ve been together forever and I’m not 100% sure if JJ was announced for Love Upon a Time and as a partner of Net before the show aired, but I love JJ since he’s also like Kim where he is very sweet and caring of others and makes a lot of jokes that make everyone laugh and I especially liked his heart to heart conversation with Net where they both said why they want each other and their past where they have experienced a bad relationship which I feel makes their relationship together much more stronger and I love that Net now has JJ. Honestly there isn’t much I have to say about Ryujin since he joined much later than everyone else and I wasn’t a big fan of him literally on the day of picking your partners that he basically said to Auau during Friendship time that he basically liked everyone in the house for an option to be his partner and I honestly feel he isn’t that interested in being a couple with Patji since they barley spoke that much on the show and in the end he choose himself which I won’t judge but it’s good to want to strengthen your skills before you commit to being in a partnership. One of my new favorites in Patji and I just started watching the 3 season of this show for Patji since I really hope he can find a partner since I know he wants one and I literally want someone good to be with him since even though he’s young and has a lot more to learn he is really talented and mature since he didn’t give up after loosing but worked harder which lead to him being in the top 3 for best performance and I also liked his character in Your Sky which is also why I liked him and him and Por’s relationship was adorable since they were like brothers and I loved the ghost ship of “PatjiPor.” Now time for my favorites which is AuauSave and I also wanted to watch this series not only for Auau but also for Save since he’s so adorable and I love him so much that he’s become one of my favorites and I literally loved how Save set his eyes on Auau and wanted him no matter what and I literally was so sad for Save when Auau didn’t pick him for the friendship time in the first episode like he was so sad he barley even ate, but I’m glad he ended up getting his friendship time where he got to make an egg rug but didn’t want it to took Auau’s cat rug and I think that was when Auau wanted him as well. What I liked the most about AuauSave is that they both helped make each other more confident and stronger in their skills for example Auau said that Save helped raise his confidence and comforted him when he was sad and Save said Auau helped him strengthen and become confident in his singing and dancing even know he doesn’t have the skills like Auau. I also was smiling so hard after they choose each other because Auau was so said when Save didn’t walk in but Save was late because he was afraid Auau didn’t pick him but when they saw each other they were so happy and their pictures were adorable. I literally almost started crying when Auau had his talk with Por since I know that they’ve been through so much together since they were in DVI together which was such an amazing group but their label terminated every artist under their label which included DVI which meant that they disbanded which devastated me a lot since I really loved them and it’s hard to describe what they both went through after that and what I glad is at least they are the two DVI guys that are constantly together I’m glad they are both in the same company together since personally I feel Auau and Por need each other since they both know what each other went through and their relationship is way different from a friendship that they will gain from being in this show and Auau is honestly an amazing person who is really talented and I am glad that he won the Best Performance award after being runner up or in the running for first in almost every mission and it shows that you should never give up but work harder since that’s what he did and he won an award for it! I am also glad that he is now in DEXX since he can live his idol dreams again along with being an actor with Save where they will star in Mr. Fanboy together and I am glad that he has Save since Save is a very good person and they both deserve each other especially after their chemistry in Your Sky. Now for TeeTeePor I love both TeeTee and Por so much and I love watching DEXX’s MV’s for them since they are both not only a good singer but and an amazing dancer which is literally why they won the best partner award especially after their performance together since they both compliment each other a lot and are perfect together. I loved seeing Por be all flustered and shy around TeeTee especially whenever they would talk because Por would always be smiling and adorable which I love seeing since after what he’s been through and Por has always been an amazing singer and personally was one of the best singers in DVI. Also TeeTee and Por might be an amazing couple since they won every reward that they got when they were a couple and I loved their performance of their robot show since TeeTee is an adorable robot and Por was such an adorable master since he got so flustered by TeeTee and even though they improvised through the script they both did so amazing and I was so relieved, happy, and proud that they won that mission and P’ Aof picked them to win. Also I am so excited for Duang with You to come out this month like I literally can’t wait any longer!!!
Anyways I loved this show a lot because it made me love more actors which means I will watch their series and I loved the concept of this show since it’s a mutual partnership with real chemistry and friendship instead of the company picking them to be together where their might be no chemistry. Also everyone was really talented and actual good singers on this show that they should make a group with Gen 4. Also I will say that this show did make me smile and giggle a lot and satisfied my needs of seeing couples interact after their shows ended or waiting for their new show together and it did make it feel that this was a dating show instead of reality show which made me much happier. Anyways I do recommend watching this especially if you want to watch a couple or learn how they got together or you’re waiting for their show to come which might take months but need to see them together ASAP and honestly you won’t regret watching this because it’s really fun.

Nice to get to know who the artists really are.
After watching season 1 and enjoying that so much, i continued right away with season 2.I must say, i knew a lot of them already from drama's they played in. But it was so nice to see wo they really are, my opinion of a lot of them changed. For example Jimmy, i knew him from Why R u and The next prince, and ecspecially in Why R U i wasn't very impressed. But now that i know how he really is i appreciate his acting more.
It's really nice to see how the pairs are formed, and that the company leaves the choise by them and not forcing a big partnership on them. I feel that by doing it this way te partnerships are more likely to last a lot longer if not forever.
I also like the game aspect where you can see more how they do in modeling, singing and acting.
