Over the course of a month, a group of men live under one roof and run a coffee truck together to connect and hopefully meet their one true boyfriend.

Living together for a whole month?? Now THAT's what I'm talking about!! A week seems too little time to really fall in love with again, not everyone can be Sungho & Junseong. :) Really looking forward to this show!!!

They're about a billion times hotter than the guys on British love island 😭

lol I love how everyone is trying to request a American version of this show. Like we need to let just Japan have this for a good while, they need it way more than we do. Additionally, an American one would not have this vibe, our reality shows are always messy and raunchy. There’s a comfort vibe that Japan brings to the table due to their introvert culture that would be impossible to replicate.

I cried when Usak left. He brought so much meaning to the show and also the drawing he left was sooo sweet ❤

"Do you mind if I fall for you?"
😱 so romantic 💔

[easyful]

I don't know why but i thought it would be a korean show.. but if its japanese it makes so much more sense...

[TallSilhouette]

Wow, they're so soft spoken compared to the cast of a Western reality show. Night and day difference in tone, lol.

[SharpDesign]

This is interesting how calm they are compared to American reality shows.

I love this show because there are no loud, flamboyant, nor slutty gay characters, not that I have a problem with that. There seemed to be no conniving nor underhanded motives. Everyone is genuine & respectful of each other's feelings. All actions are calculated, deliberate, & honest. I feel like this show gives me a true insight to the LGBT culture in Japanese society

I would consider this very brave for netflix, since same sex couples are still a little bit new for older generations atleast in Japan. People have a really hard time coming out, so I hope this could inspire some people, and normalize these type things in Japan. 💗💞💓

[dreamcatcher]

I like the line when he said, "Do you mind if I fall in love with you?"🥺❤️

[katsee]

This is how a reality show should be. It was a pleasure to watch them and I learned a lot from every participant. I will truly miss them. ♥

[dingo.p]

I still can't believe that nobody is interested in Taeheon. WHY? He's intelligent, kind, very poised and hot af. Did he say to them at the beginning that he's not interested in finding love or what? Very strange.

Shun❤Dai❤
All the way❤❤❤
Rooting for you guys.❤

[alexisvisconti]

We need "the girlfriend" too

[Ianmybeloved_]

This show is so good, I love the tension between some guys. I never thought we would ever get a Japanese gay reality show. 🏳️‍🌈

[stanleycoleman]

This seems insanely sweet, with none of the manufactured drama we're used to from other reality dating shows.

[helloben]

Just from teaser, it looks like its gonna be better than His man, and the Casts look greattt tooo ❤

[wonwoocroptop]

[ulin__nm]

Started watching this last week and i'm so invested. Unlike some dating shows, this one feels genuine and wholesome yet serve more than most bl series these days do. Rooting for DaiShun!
