However, I feel many of the content is implicitly toxic, and made me frustrated more often than not. This is not to say that there weren't some nice and heartelt vulnerably emotional moments. It's inconsistent, there's episodes a little over 1 hour and some around the above mentioned length. Either split into more episodes, or learn to cut content adequately. Get real.Īnother point that lead to some burnout on my side is how some episodes go over 2 and a half hours long. People have limited time and energy, even more so in this show format, and the social norm is to focus that on one person only. Says who? If that was the intent of the PD team, then they should've followed the Love Catcher route of forcing pre-established couples for the dates. They harp on about how they're playing the concept of the show incorrectly, which supposedly is to get to know different people. The staff criticize contestants who focus solely on one person. It's none of your business, butt the hell out.Īnd that's not all. What's worse is when certain contestants start forcing unsolicited advice on their ex. You're not dating them anymore, you don't own them (and never did). even when they didn't text their ex themselves. Here, I’ve rounded up 6 Korean variety and reality shows that are on constant rotation to queue up stat (and yes they’re easy to watch with English subtitles) 2 Days 1 Night Actors, rappers, rock stars and comedians Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Jun Ho, Kim Joo Hyuk, DefConn, Jung Joon Young take on absurd challenges over the span of 2 days and 1 night. What you see is people getting upset that their ex didn't text them. The text is anonymous, but there's an additional message informing them if one of the texts belonged to their ex or not.

For example, the show makes people text someone they are interested in, at the end of the day.

What annoyed me the most was the sense of entitlement. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if people quit altogether. What happens when you put a bunch of people in a house, who have to share it with their exes, and have to witness them flirting/being flirted with by strangers? Add the daily hours-long sessions of downing alcohol into the mixtures, and it's no wonder some contestants end up taking a break halfway through. This is the dating reality show I actively disliked the most.
