Poor production choices
Very disappointing season.
I was waiting to see human connexion, vulnerability, true feelings, maybe even (one can always dream) queer representation and voices... I got nothing of what makes a good reality show and nothing useful for the lgbtq+ community.
I understand that this was a reshoot, but the production team could have done so much better.
JaeHa anf HyeongJun's story was an important part of half the season, but just when things were getting a bit more interesting, JaeHa gets eliminated... Way to ruin the storyline. Also, we get told that they were a couple but we get 0 footage of their story in the previous shoot. If only one participant had to be erased, then there should have been enough footage to show how previous relationships had developped between the cast members. Instead, the wievers and two new cast members are left wondering where everything is at. It was unconfortable and could have been avoided with the use of previous clips and editing.
Participants were also all very very bland. The only one with a personality (Lee HyeokJin) gets eliminated halfway through. I get that the other cast members weren't interested in him, but what about the viewers? To me he was one of the reasons I kept watching more episodes. I honestly didn't understand why they had to eliminate two participants.
I also agree with another review : separating them by blocks wasn't the best way to create group dynamics and organic interactions between different cast members.
Anyways, poor choices were made at many different points in the making of this season. I got fed up with wasting my time and decided to stop watching at episode 8.
I still have hope that maybe next season could be better.
