Not easy to commit when you borderline force them to speed date in a week.
While a quick seven days of dating might work for a show like Single’s Inferno when the stakes for participants are low and we know they are here for exposure, to give such a little time to a group of people who actually need more space and time to consider their choices is weird. Women in their late 30s don’t really just jump to be in a non-serious relationship, it is a commitment and a week is not enough time to actually make it.
They settled on these seven days? Okay. Use them to the fullest. Give them opportunities to get to know each other in various ways. For example, make them chat through messages without showing their faces and pick dates based on that. We just saw a lot of first dates, but not much actual connection. It was mostly just frustrating to watch.
Only people who literally picked each other almost every time had a chance to get to know more about the other person. Everyone else was confused, and of course they were - they did not know each other much even after the seven days passed.
On the bright side - I actually enjoyed the panelists. Yes, sometimes their takes did not land in reality, but listening to their different perspectives was still a fun. Jang Woo Young impersonating Mu Jin was hilarious. I also appreciate how the “noonas” were actually much older than the guys. We knew early on that at least one age gap is 10+ years, but somehow I thought most people are closer to each other - maybe 5-7 years apart.
And here comes the best part of the whole production - casting Mu Jin. No idea where they found him, but this man is just too good to be true. I am honestly surprised all the women were not fighting over him.
On the other hand, the production failed with the location. I didn’t really like the house - I think the layout did not invite people to interact much. Guys were mostly sitting in their space, and girls were mostly sitting in theirs. Rather than women and men staying on different floors, they should have mixed it up so they would be forced to interact more.
Overall, I loved the idea, I liked the participants and the panelists, but the format just did not work. With the idea of potential conflict and issues that come with large age gaps, they should make sure they give all people involved more time to get to know each other, not less…
