This show was recommended by Netflix after I watched an episode of “Komi Can’t Communicate”, so I decided to watch it. Pretty similar idea to various other dating reality tv shows I’ve seen before. The premise is slightly different in that there is an island and a luxurious paradise and you have to pair up with someone in order to get to paradise.
One thing that immediately stood out to me was that when the people first met each other on the island, they were not very talkative and didn’t really introduce themselves. I thought that was really different than the US and European dating shows that I’ve seen since in those, the people are really excited to meet the others and talk about how crazy the show is.
The deserted island actually seems to be pretty solid. Like they give you food every meal and the scenery is pretty good. They even have a full gym for people to work out. Pretty good living conditions considering FBoy island and Limbro.
Another aspect that must be more cultural is the fact that age and occupation cannot be revealed until you go to Paradise. I guess it makes sense since people are a bit superficial and have defined types, but in the other dating shows that I’ve seen, it hasn’t been such a focus. Perhaps it is also to encourage people to really get to know each other as people, not just their profession.
The people in the show seem attractive in general. I am glad that this show is different than the other island dating shows where everyone is a model or an influencer. Obviously some of them are, but at least there are some other jobs showcased. I thought that it was a bit odd that there are 5 guys and 4 girls. It’s going to be rather lonely if 4 pairs of people go to Paradise. In these shows, often times new contestants show up in the middle of the show. So, I wonder if more guys or girls will show up and stir up drama.
Looking forward to watching more episodes in the future. Comment what other shows I should watch next 🙂
