Press Play: Looking for a refreshing dating show? Try ‘Single’s Inferno’ Season 5

Are you getting tired of the typical dating show formats? Single’s Inferno solves that problem!

Singles Inferno Season 5 has been dominating the dating scene, securing the second spot on Netflix’s “Global Top 10 Non-English Shows” for three consecutive weeks. Since the announcement of a renewal for Season 6, it is set to become Korea’s longest-running unscripted series.

In the series, contestants are left on a deserted island where they compete in games and challenges. A select few get to enjoy “paradise,” a luxury getaway where they go on romantic dates and form meaningful connections. “Paradise” is also the only place where they are allowed to reveal their ages and occupations to one another.

What really attracted me to the show was how it strays away from the standard dating show experience. When you think of dating shows, you might think of Too Hot to Handle, Love Island, or Perfect Match. Those very fast-paced dating shows fail to present the same emotional build-up as Single’s Inferno. If you’re looking for something slower, where contestants attempt to build a genuine bond, this show tops the category.

In my opinion, this season was the most entertaining of all: there was a lot of distinct personalities, spicy drama and messy love triangles. The producers switched up the rules from previous seasons, making it a tad bit more entertaining.

They’ve also added a spin-off series to wrap it all up called Singles’ Inferno Reunion, which was released on Valentine’s Day.

It consists of six episodes, each ranging from 25 minutes to an hour long. This is the place to be if you wanna see which contestants kept their romance alive and which ones haven’t kept in touch. You can also expect some lingering tension between certain participants.

If you want to try out a new dating show that’s truly different from the rest, give this one a try!
