A disappointing reshoot
In reality shows, viewers generally accept a degree of scripting—reshoots, edited narratives, and moments shaped by producers. However, this season of His Man may be the most underwhelming and artificial yet.The season begins with an awkward meeting at a café before it becomes clear—and is later explained—that most of the cast had actually already filmed together previously. Due to a problematic participant, the original footage could not air, and the cast were offered the opportunity to return for a reshoot. While this is understandable, the audience never saw anything from that initial filming. As a result, the cast returned with a week of shared history already behind them. Friend groups were already formed, previous encounters were hinted at, and the natural, wholesome atmosphere that His Man is known for never quite materialised.
To complicate matters further, two new cast members were added to balance the numbers. Unfortunately, they were given almost no backstory until halfway through the season, leaving them at a disadvantage from the start. Midway through the show, an elimination vote removed two cast member, and prior to that a participant from the second season was brought back for another chance.
By the end, the final couples felt predictable and unremarkable. Ironically, the real highlights of the season were the two new cast members, who approached the experience with sincerity. Although neither left with a romantic partner, they gained something arguably just as meaningful: a supportive new fandom.
If the show moves forward with a fifth season, I would strongly urge the producers to avoid eliminations and to provide clear context if a reshoot situation arises again—especially for any new cast members joining the show. Without that transparency, the viewing experience becomes uncomfortable and ultimately disappointing.

Another BOC ending
BOC delivered an excellent show overall, though the final episode’s pacing was a noticeable drawback. As is often the case with BOC productions, the conclusion felt somewhat rushed and left several threads unresolved. That said, the acting, soundtrack, storyline, and episode-by-episode pacing were all engaging and well executed. A significant amount of screen time focused on the emotional growth of the main couple, which was well done, but it might have been even more impactful to see greater attention given to the grief of family and friends, a clearer resolution for Krailiernt and Naran, and perhaps justice served to the newspaper leader who persistently suppressed the truth.Was this review helpful to you?
