The Romantic and Idol; Dating shows

Recently found out about this Korean show which is in "Dating" themed program named The Romantic and Idol by tvN, which actually is a spin-off show from The Romantic, another dating program which feature non-celebrities while  The Romantic and Idol featured Idol groups. 



This is kinda a fresh dating show for me, since MBC's We Got Married. This is a short episode show which are just filmed in 3 days and 4 nights, compared to the long period filming WGM. This show actually attracts me more as the how was rather simple and have the need to make decisions that make viewer more nervous and excited while watching. 

Although both TRI and WGM can't actually be compared as their concept and format are different, but I would prefer short dating show rather than long dating show. WGM actually had run for years already and I'm guessing they are running out of unique ideas to be develop while short dating show like TRI would have more chances of changing their format and easily navigate through their concept. Long-run dating shows which might be "played" by casts with the writer's scripts, would have risk as it always happened: cast's scandals, viewers' disinterests, casts personal life, especially love-life involved and others more. While short-run show would be able to avoid those matter and continue their show.

Well, I'll be sharing on The Romantic and Idol first season soon. Till then...
