Heart Signal 3 (2020)

Best season of Heart Signal

i've always been a huge fan of the show, but i got so disappointed towards the end of season 1 and 2...but not with this one, the cast was SO SO LOVABLE, the friendships were so so GENUINE and the romantic pairs were so HONEST, there's no trap on this season, no mislead and that's the beauty of it, they were so so genuine towards the whole show and it was so lovely to watch...even when they fought you could understand why and you felt for them, on season one and two those were the main things that were missing for me...i seriously loved this season so much and i always got so excited on thursdays for the new episode...furthermore once again the panelists made the show and they were so so fun to watch (on season 1 and 2 they made the show for me as well) and this season was no different. even the way they ended the season was beautiful and lovely. i loved everything about this season and i'm so sad it ended, can't wait for season four! if you're a fan of the show but is scared to watch this season because the last ones had disappointing endings, fear not, this season is a complete delight!

Deserves Higher Ratings

I watched two heart signal seasons before this and this was the best one. I think the cast were actually being real and true to their feelings. I’ve seen Ji hyun getting hate because of the whole In woo issue or people complaining that she was bratty. it’s not her fault that the guys liked her, from the start you could tell they all had a strong first impression on her but that changed later on. Also, she was very lively and outgoing in the beginning, others started talking more later on so obviously people would be more attracted to that. I also saw some people complaining that plot and “endgame” was predictable. Bruh it’s a dating show, they were in the house for one month, if they’re choices are not predictable then it’s scripted. Do you expect someone to form connections with someone also after going dates and having confessions just to choose someone else for the plot. Go watch a thriller or sth if that’s what you’re looking for.

Also, I like that they actually stayed one month in the house. Most dating shows would give the 4 or 5 days which doesn’t make much sense to me. Them staying for one month allowed to form bonds not just with love interests but the other housemates. Like I really loved the friendship between Ji hyun and Ui dong, you could tell they really understood each other. Also, one thing I didn’t like so much is that half of the episodes was the hosts talking and I think that could have used for more screen time on the contestants.
so I just skipped through the hosts talks.

Anyways if you come across this, definitely give a try, it’s worth the watch!

More of everything everyone loved about the 1st two seasons

9/10 is my rating. This is a 2020 South Korean Reality Dating/Game show. There are 15 regular and 1 special, 70-130 minute episodes.

This is a dating reality show where the participants live together for one month. They cannot reveal their age or occupation but can reveal interests and other aspects of their personality. Participants work during the day and go back to the house they are occupying together in the evenings/weekends and other times off work. There are originally six occupants but two more occupants are added through the course of the show. Each night the participants anonymously send a text to the person they found most interesting and the panel has to guess who texted whom. Panelists who guess right are given a token. They act as a 4th wall, commenting on what is going on, analyzing participants behavior and interests in each other, and competing to get the most correct guesses on who is contacting whom. Participants go on dates but are not allowed to directly confess their feelings.

This season had the most intrigue and participants changed thoughts and course more than in the previous seasons. Deeper friendships seemed to form between the participants both within the same sex and between the men and women. Eana had a lot of good insight and was right about interactions and significance a lot of times. PO and his teasing with his exposing his wrists became an inside joke between him, the panelists and the viewers. I loved it. Sang-min's emotional responses and distress when he would be wrong were highly engaging. Shi-yoon is a talented actor and was very compelling with his insights with the participants. I enjoyed hearing their thoughts and watching their deliberations. I never felt like they were on too long as I enjoyed their interactions as much as the participants. The only thing I wish they would do on the show is make it so that each participant went on a date with each participant of the opposite sex and did not go on more than 1 formal date with other participants. They could go on informal dates with the same but not formal dates. I think that would be a more genuine choice because they seem to fixate, like imprinting on whomever they date a lot and it doesn't feel like they get to know everyone on that same level.

*Spoilers
I found In-woo very frustrating because he had so much in common with Ga-heun, even mentioned he had fun on their dates but was hung up on Ji-hyun because of his first impression of her. The panel was complimentary of him for his honesty but I felt his honesty was, at times, a bit brutal with Ga-heun. When she asked him if he would have went with Ji-hyun had she accepted his request for a date and if that meant he would have cancelled with Ga-heun he said yes. I thought that would hurt anyone's feelings. In-woo's fixation with Ji-hyun became a bit tiresome. Ji-hyun could not make up her mind between In-woo and Kang-yeol and I think Kang-yeol knew that when he commented that it was not just her saying yes then no then yes right. I think he figured out for In-woo to continue as he had, with the way that In-woo was, he would only have done that if Ji-hyun continued to give him hope. An-na was the participant I felt the most annoyance with because her and Eui-dong hit it off really well but she became fixated on Kang-yeol when he made it clear he was not interested. Hang-gyeol had his moments where it was hard for him to settle his feelings between Ga-heun and Min-jae but I think he handled the best when he reassured Min-jae that she should not feel bad about Ga-heun but should focus on them. He made it clear he had made up his mind and never led Ga-heun on as he never indicated directly to her he felt anything more than a deep friendship. I admired him a lot for that. Eui-dong was just a genuinely nice person and I was actually glad An-na did not give him more of a chance because she really did not deserve him. I have to remind myself that this is a reality show and that the participants compete with each other in that regard rather than looking for genuine long term connections. It would be hard for them to do so anyway because they cannot be seen out together after the show finishes airing as the viewers have not seen the outcomes yet. Also, they are now "famous" and it is hard for any couples that form to go out without getting seen and mobbed by fans.

One of my favorite aspect of the show is the panel that tries to determine who will send a signal or who will pick whom. I like their insight and commentary and their personalities also shine through.

Deep spoilers**
Lee Ga-heun and Cheon-An-na were accused of being bullies to school classmates. The show investigated and the allegations were denied. Kim Kang-yeol was accused of assaulting a woman at a night club in 2017 and he issued an apology.

This show is so good and It deserves more rating in general. But this is fun to watch and the characters in this show are really good looking considering the fact they aren’t actors. I wrote this review while watching the show so I still have strong opinions. Well anyway it is nice to know that this show is not entirely scripted and people have moments like this in the real world someday. Even it might seem like a long show it will not get boring because

WARNING STOP HEAR IF YOU ARE CRAZY BIG ON SPOILERS BUT IF YOU WATCHED THE TRAILER OR OTHER SEASON IT SHOULD BE GOOD

ok so the catfish people are really great unlike in season two when the catfish person was almost their from the beginning in this one the catfish only appears when everybody is comfortable with each other and the love are untangling the catfish comes and then the story gets juicy again. Welll anyway also the characters in my opinion are pretty good looking they are almost as good as season two. Also the panellist for this show actually pretty good. I mean I hate the panelist’s guessing the people love lines but still now that they have different panellist the show is actually better and the panelist’s aren’t as bad.
