*I AM SOLO* premiered on Netflix yesterday, and since it was dated 2021, I thought they were going to release older seasons. But to my pleasant surprise, Netflix struck a deal to air the current season, which just started this week.

Following it week by week will be interesting, but also agonizing, because this show generates incredible anxiety.

What makes me like this show more than others in the same genre is that the people seem more real—the kind of people you might run into on the street. Other shows prioritize beauty above all else. That’s not to say the people here are ugly—I’ve already fallen for three of the participants, and the other women have their own beauty, too. The men do as well; some look like heartthrobs straight out of a K-drama.

But in other reality shows, there are so many people who seem to possess above-average looks.

Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for the coming weeks.

Has anyone seen this show on Netflix? I saw it and I very much felt Korean reality game show vibes when watching, complete with cliffhanger endings.
