Character development worthy of a drama.

Easily the best season of Single’s Inferno, I even dare to say one of the best seasons of any Asian dating show. You had it all - fun characters, unique characters, annoying characters, hot, cute, smart, strong. You name it, they had it.

I do think a lot of pairings were rather obvious half way through, but the journey to get there had a lot of ups and downs. Be it caused by one and only “Mary Sue”, or personal indecisiveness, curiosity, lack of communication. If you wanted to map all the connections together, you get that “connecting dots” meme.

There were moments when I questioned the sanity of the people in the show, since their decision making skills were… interesting at best. Why did they choose it? Why did they say that? Why did they not explain? Why did they explain it this way? At times I felt like they are working hard to make their own lives harder. And it was so entertaining to watch.

What was best though were the MCs. That was probably one of the most honest commentaries I have seen in any dating show so far. You can clearly see when they are frustrated and annoyed, when they are happy or surprised. They criticize and question the contestants when they disagree with their choices. Their commentary simply did not feel as scripted as it usually does.

Overall, without giving any spoilers - worth watching. I was dropping everything to watch every episode as it aired. I liked the games they were playing - intense. I liked the switches between the “pairings”. I liked how unique everyone felt. Probably the best casting so far.
