A really nice dating show
I am a buff of these dating shows (I watched a lot of them and my only regret is that Koreans have only Single's Inferno one, while Japanese have a lot of them.The setting is stunning, as everything takes place in the spring in Nice (Mediterranean Coast of France). The participants are very nice, sweet and sincere, and you don't feel for one second that something is staged (I hope it really isn't). The music is great, the food looks very yummy, the idea of letting them communicate only in the good old way (by handwritten messages) stimulated their creativity and the need to be direct and sincere, and in general I laughed and cried together with them. I strongly recommend the show!

The best dating show ever made!!!!
I already knew how good the Japanese are with producing dating shows after the success they gained through shows like Terrace House. But this one was on a whole different level! It was definitely way shorter than Terrace House but SO much fun to watch! There was NEVER a dull moment although everything felt very realistic and mature and I feel like it was probably not scripted at all (which is common for Japanese reality TV which is the reason why they feel so genuine and real).First of all, the concept itself was so unique and sounded really fun!!! Something I myself would have loved to do too!
But I liked it that not everything was led to fate and the production team came up with fun challenges and tasks like the Wish Letter or the Last Letter.
Another thing I liked is that this show is not only a dating show but ALSO a travel show!!! They even have their own guide books and everytime the members go to a different city there is some information about each place! And since Nice has always been on my travel list it got even stronger to visit now after watching this show! 😍
The cute little animations were such a fun extra too 😍 absolutely loved everything about it!!!!
Last but not least, I happened to love ALL participants in this show! At the beginning I wasn’t so sure of some people like Mimi or Kensuke but we saw their feeling amd vulnerability and most importantly unique character. Each participant was sooo amazingly unique! This was something we dont see from other popular dating shows like Single’s Inferno where everyone is just being superficial and all the conversations are boring af 😅😅😅
Seriously everyone, go watch this!!!!

just watched offline love and i’m obsessed
no phones no texting just real convos and handwritten letters… idk it felt so soft and real??and it’s soooo pretty. literally every scene looks like a film
also appreciate how the panelists don’t cut in the middle of scenes. they talk after, so u actually get to feel the moment
plus the screentime is fair af. even ppl who are alone still get shown. love that
only thing i wish it had: some interview clips
sometimes i just wanna know what tf they’re thinking in the moment lol
but maybe that’s the point?? u just watch it unfold like real life. 🤷♀️

Uplifting and warm hearted dating show
The Japanese can do those kind of shows so well. Love Village is another one of those excellent shows. I was so invested in the stories of these young people, all of them were so likeable and cute.I really showed the heartbreak of one sided love, the instant attraction you can have for somebody, i also likes the question if there is fate when it comes to finding the right one. It was also so great to see how much fun can be had when you venture out, travel, take a risk, experience new foods, culture, language... I am also impressed by how stylish the Japanese are. All of them are so sophisticated, quirky and individual.
One thing was getting on my nerves a bit though was the overlong talk of the three moderators. I fast forwarded that most of the times. Not only was it soo long, also I didnt think they brought much more insights.

offline dating
Dating and dating without mobile phones.That's difficult these days, sometimes people accidentally looked into the camera. It was nice to see how people are attracted to a person.
While others have great difficulty and are timid. I hate Single Inferno because it's all about looks. Here people had to get to know each other, share interests, no inappropriate intimacy.
I thought all participants were childish except one, Kanaka elegant, feminine, mature, she stole the show. Sho, on the other hand, boarded the tram without letting her go first. And used the umbrella without sharing. Kanaka called him manly, but he had no manners. Furthermore, the location Nice was great, the food was delicious.
Maybe next time some mature participants

Really sweet and lovely
I really loved this show. I rarely watch any dating shows cause they are all the same and full of unnecessary drama. But watching this was the best decision ever. I loved the fact that they gave away their devices and had to rely on their instincts and fate, and face their feelings head-on and tell them face to face, and just had to fully enjoy everything and keep themselves busy with sightseeing and meeting one another. This was a dating show concept I'd like to see more off. I'd love to find love like this, without phones and social medias. I just have to say I loved everything about this. The cast was quite perfect and sweet too.Was this review helpful to you?
so sweet
I do love this show. All the people participating are nice and touching. The town is beautifully filmed and there are great photographs of the participants. The only thing I can't bear is the 3 persons commenting the show, they always make fun of the participants, they constantly mocke them, they belittle them. Why ? it's so unfair and harmful. I can't stand these peopleWas this review helpful to you?
Seeing “fate” play out in real time.
Can’t believe my first time writing a review would be for a dating show 🤣But I really loved every second of it!I loved how pure and sincere every participant was. Their feelings really reached me (even cried at one part 😭). Found myself being happy and sad together with them, and even rooting for them!
Also, the production was so crazy amazing that some parts felt like they came out of a drama rather than a reality show. I’ve never seen a dating show with THIS level of cinematography and budget! And the OSTs were the cherry on top! The team really served and left no crumbs fr.
Ahhh I’m gonna miss them. What started as a casual watch turned out to hit home for me. Really didn’t expect myself to love this as much as I do. I can see myself rewatching this soon (mind you I am NOT the type to rewatch shows 😂, so that says a lot).
Hope they make this into a series! And it would be even better if the next season was set in another city 🫶🏻

The best dating show I ever watched
I started watching this show after coming across it's trailer and all I want to say is that it was an absolute joy to watch this. It was so entertaining from start to finish and I was so curious to find out what would happen in each episode.The casting was so perfect with such likable participants that I was rooting for literally everyone. The hosts were the best part for me with their witty comments keeping me entertained.
The concept of finding love in an offline world with fate playing a key factor as highlighted in this show is certainly a fun and interesting element. It makes you think about all the possibilities which you might miss or not miss in this tech savvy world.
Offline love has all the ingredients to keep the viewers hooked and I am pretty sure no one would be disappointed after watching this show.
