I really hope this isn't scripted. I just hope they're not misleading the viewers who genuinely believe in and root for these couples. I'm a fan and watch it every week, but hardly any of the people who've been set up on dates through the show seem to have actually worked out. I really thought Taebum and the ballet dancer from the previous season were genuinely dating, and I was rooting for them, but then they just disappeared without any explanation.
This isn't We Got Married or some drama, so I really hope they're not manufacturing romantic feelings just to get viewers invested in these couples and have them rooting for something that was never real to begin with.
