What an enjoyable show!
There are lots of these kind of programms and I watched most of them mainly on MNET. I have to say this this on JTBC is like a breath of fresh air. The focus is on the teams and performances and less on drama, intrigue, evil editing, showing the same thing three times in a row.... the list of annoying MNET practises that everybody knows and hates.The judges on Peak Time have great chemistry and are really funny. I also really like the general format of the show - giving groups that just debut, have not been successfull (yet) or had to disband a chance to shine and find new fans. There was a elimination round at the beginning but it was done without a lot of drama, the performances that had at least one vote were aired the others were not aired. On MNET what gets aired and what not really doesnt make sense sometimes and often feels really unfair.
But the really lovely things was how much the different groups supported each other, in the mixed stages all these new friendships were made and the competitive element was held to a minimum. This will probably change now that the next round of elemination comes up - it is a competition but watching episode 3-6 you can easily forget.
The voting especially for fans outside Korea was really easy via the Peak Team Webpage. Even I managed to vote!
But the best thing are the fabulous performances. These are all idols, they are not trainees so the quality of the performances is so high. I found lots of new groups that I can support next to the ones I already knew.
I hope more people watch it and start supporting these incredible groups.

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.

Realistic and enjoyable
I have seen that lots of reviewers found many of flaws with this drama and yes there are some there is no doubt about it. In general however this drama was very enjoyable (i watched without knowing the Webtoon) and to me it felt very real and relateable.The relationsship between the main characters I can totally understand. Instant attraction is rare, but is it enough to build a real relationship? Can you ever be satisfied with a half relationsship especially if you are emotionally invested? Would you rather stay safe and not tell somebody you love them instead of risking heart ache? If you are very good friends first how will that play out if you move this relationship to the next level?
Everybody is scared of rejection and loosing people close to you and through the side stories these is shown very well. There is also he dilemma about having choices and even if you know that long term somebody might be better for you if the spark is missing would that be enough to try?
Lots here is also showing how communication really is the problem in most relationsships. Not saying what you really feel and want because you want to protect yourselve. Making assumptions about people and how they feel and just playing some strange games even though you know all you want to do is be with that person.
So yes, I did enjoy it even though sometimes you just want to scream at the screen and shake them. I am personally not a big fan of the main male lead, This actor only seems to do the broody sexy thing and there is nothing wrong with it per se but I just not seen him proper acting....
I actually only started watching it because Seunghyub is also in this drama but then ended up enjoying it and binge watching the whole thing (only 10 episodes)
