This had almost all the right ingredients, but not enough cooking time!

The dating show sets out to explore age-gap dynamics with older women and younger men and while the premise feels refreshing on paper, the execution was a little uneven but still had my attention.

The show's main strength was the noona romance template. Compared to other dating shows (I haven't watched much), this was calmer ( less dramatic). I liked nearly everyone in the cast, and they all showed up with something to offer. Whether it worked in their favor or not… that’s a different discussion. xD

Where it failed for me was that it gave too little time for dating to even begin. It felt rushed and it clearly showed.
Another issue I had was that in the middle it tried to turn into a one person show. I get early interests and dynamic building to get things going, but when everyone is chasing the same person, it kind of gets boring for me. Though it definitely picks up in the latter half.

Also, i felt there were less group activities. There should have been more interactions, maybe one on one or casual group activities so more people can interact with different people. I am saying cause drama between the ships but at least this could have eased out participants a little more. It was strange to not find any "friendship ships". I missed those genuine conversations I guess.

Production was pretty in design though they could have made the living arrangements better in the house. The anonymous message idea through pictures and videos was interesting.

The panel was hit and a miss, mostly miss. I had very contrasting opinions with them, plus the insights didn't add anything valueable or even offer a different perspective. It was just reacting to scenes and adding tad bit of personal flavour of things we already know/shown.

Overall, this was a breezy show. I think they brushed over the complicated part. It's like the trailer of the actual dating life with real problems that will come. That said, I enjoyed it. And if you ask me who was my favourite is, it is Mujin! The boy had a way with words, paired with that cute scrunchy nose smile that made it even more charming.
