This is really botherring me. Especially cause I saw a comment saying that Chang Hwan shouldn't have come on the show since he knows the show is basically a baby of heart pairing where they cast young people.
But first of all, this is not heart signal. The producers made it clear they were aiming from somethign different by making it marriage oriented. And if you want a cast that is marriage inclined, obviously you will cast 30+ to 40+ cast.
What I don't get is how they casted this man knowing there was no woman above 30 in the cast. Basically, no matter who he connected with on a deeper level, the age difference would always be 10+.
Though this story line is interesting, I am really annoyed that the producers did this willingly. I can't imagine how awful Chan Hwan must feel.
Someone posted in the Comments an interview with the producers. The producers said that they cast Chang Hwan first, and were inspired to make the show about marriage due to him. To me, that just makes the casting choices of the female contestants even worse. You know you have a 40 year-old man and then deliberately cast all the females under 30? They really couldn't find at least one lady in her early to mid 30s? It's like they deliberately set him up to fail. I feel terrible for him, and so sorry if he came on the show truly hoping to find a wife.
I love the cast - attraction is unpredictable - and put in this hybrid environment - half normal(work) half enclised (living in the house with 9 other people) must be very challenging! They are not celebrities, performing artists so they have very little training as to how to manage their emotions in front of the cameras so I can feel the pull back. So despite this, they are doing brilliantly! (So far none of the ones I wanted to connect, connected! 😂 )
