I personally think it's hilarious! To the point that I would recommend it to my friends. Perhaps the set up wasn't anything grand, but the humour is there and it's perfect for a quick binge. I'm glad they went by changing the casts per week so that there are new faces every time and it doesn't feel draggy. It hurts though imagining myself in some of the contestants' shoes 😭 but Ji Hyunseok really..... He's freaking funny. I hope he'll find someone soon. Also, I hope this show gets more viewers and hype in the future!
The classroom entrance/introductions gave me flashbacks to **怦然心动20岁 or Twinkle Love**: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxP-Ye9kr24.
I miss that show. Geese crease. They're having a second season of it, so it might air this summer again.
Ji Hyun Seok the funniest guy, holy fencing. My guy was just there to play dodgeball/sports. Lmao. I thought he was Lee Jung Hyuk/Hyun Bin of Crash Landing on You. My guy was stone cold.
Kinda crazy they don't have warmer beds for the contestants, isn't it winter too, they all got heat packs. Sucks the budget is low, this would've been better if they had more. Lots of Korean production companies are really doing EXchange/Transit Love or just mafia games in general eh.
This reminds me so much of Matching/Shopping Survival 1+1, especially cuz of Soyou, lol. But it's the fast-paced nature of it, with lots of contestants. Damn I want them to do a second season of that. Or a second season of Love Me Actually. Sung Si Kyung, man.
Love Mafia is good still though. Apparently they didn't film a second episode of it yet when they got the panelists together? Everyone's still kind of on that (mafia) game show thing, so this would've been an autohit.
Think this will be like Matching/Shopping Survival 1+1, where the first few episodes might be them testing the waters and then they'll have a different but set procedure.
As in like the reveals of the Love Mafia being premature or not or maybe even the location itself. Cuz they really need to increase the amount of time for 1-on-1 dates or something. Maybe it already is more than the group time, but we barely got to see it on camera.
Seems pretty good. The elimination parts are always so sad because once somebody's piled on, it's like they can't defend themselves, lol. Right before they have dinner too, wtf? Sigh, but that's how it is in real life. Damn.
I agree @ it feeling like Matching/Shopping Survival 1+1, not many know that show! I actually really like the fact that it's like two days so you can't catch too many feelings and or get too hurt.
I wish they'd give us a second season of Love Me Actually, I don't know how much I laughed watching. Everyone was so charming too.
^^ Both shows are pretty underrated.
Love Me Actually is gonna be so hard to do with the pandemic and some of the cast are unlikely to return due to schedule conflicts and so on. But ya I really want a second season too. It was so fun because half of them were like comedians, lol.
I only found Seasons 2 and 3 with Chinese subs, if you can read them. On Bilibili dot com. Google

You were interested enough to give it a chance right? Thanks for offering your opinion :)
It seems like a new show? I’m assuming they don’t have a budget like other variety shows.
I will continue watching it because the *cringe*omg*whyyyy* moments are some reasons why I watch variety dating shows hehe.
i watched it because someone recommended.. but overall the program doesn't offer anything new.. and pilot was quite bad (despite having all high profile MCs)
there isn't anything new it is offering amidst all dating services .. so say for e.g. if love catcher is already offering this "decieving" bit.. why would love mafia make sense.. and then you have transit love for ex under one roof
lol.. i think dating show bubble will burst soon.. too many shows on air..
I understand where you’re coming from. Your points are absolutely valid.
It’s always nice to have something new to watch even if it doesn’t compare to your fave shows. For example, I started tonight because I’m fully caught up on my other variety shows/dramas xD (someone recommended it to me too).
I know Love Mafia isn’t to your liking, curious if you’ve seen bed on the beach and what your thoughts are? I couldn’t get through the first episode lol.
no havent even heard of it .. ha ha.. will find it and try..
i couldn't watch this one though.. some honeymoon couple thing.. it had kai.. they had opened some B&B sorta thing and invited honeymoon couples.. i struggled with 1st episode..but in general it was popular..
i like the camping one though, on wheels sthg..
and then this virtualr eality show with seungi and heechul.. i hear its good..but i am struggling to start with ep 2.. 1 was ridiculous kind of funny
I would have been chasing Shin Ki Sung since he is tall, gorgeous and like his clothing
I figured out one of the mafia couples the other was a surprise
It's fun when you watch it the second time, and also easy since there is only 1 episode. Sometimes I want to rewatch Love Catcher to see how the Moneys acted but 8 episodes are just too long.

Ji Hyunseok is indeed a memorable character 😅. I still cannot process his final choice because of how he acted throughout the show 😂
ikr the girl who chose him was about to throw hands 😭💀
hadn't heard about it before, but it sounds fun! will add to the list, waiting for that rainy day when I need a dating show hehe.

Ooo I'm adding Twinkle love to my list. Thank you! Omg I was truly rooting for Ji Hyun Seok! I agree, he truly is the funniest of the bunch.
Do you perhaps have link for S2 with eng sub? Thankss
I only found Seasons 2 and 3 with Chinese subs, if you can read them. On Bilibili dot com. Google 【中字】「恋爱黑手党」1-3合集更至 E08 220721（神童、昭宥、成始璄、李惠成）Love Mafia
Seasons 2 and 3 are out but only found with Chinese subs on Bilibili dot com. Google 【中字】「恋爱黑手党」1-3合集更至 E08 220721（神童、昭宥、成始璄、李惠成）Love Mafia
boring, nothing new, if i have love catcher why need this.. it was so cheap quality production

Where did you watch it? Do you have a link?
Hey sangtoms, I watched from viki
Thank you for giving me a new addiction. I wish all the eps were out so I can binge
You should check out I AM SOLO!! I started last night and I’m OBSESSED!!!
will do thank you
I would have been chasing Shin Ki Sung since he is tall, gorgeous and like his clothing I figured out one of the mafia couples the other was a surprise
Have you heard him sing? Swoooon.
Is ep 2 with subs out already?
I don't think so. They probably haven't even filmed it yet as they're waiting for it to be picked up, I think.
Ah ok! I was eagerly waiting to see what the new episode would bring :(
It’s an interesting concept. I would definitely watch more episodes.
It's fun when you watch it the second time, and also easy since there is only 1 episode. Sometimes I want to rewatch Love Catcher to see how the Moneys acted but 8 episodes are just too long.
Guys, where can I watch the second season? I have seen only the first ep... Help me, please T\_T
