El amor es ciego: Japón

Not only did the people act in a much classier way (such as not swearing, not talking about their sex lives, wearing more modest clothes) but they acted nicer to each other and it showed in the friendships formed in the female/male groups. I felt I learned a lot about Japanese culture and how it has changed over the last decades. For example I was surprised that these couples easily wanted to live together immediately as I thought that was still kind of taboo in Japan. I really felt the emotions were very real in this show, especially when the men would cry / be upset. It made me sad when one of them was crying, man or woman and I felt sorry for the couples who broke up early on, but was glad it wasn't up at the alter like the American version. That made it also seem more realistic. And the couples that made it through were so adorable. I really hope there will be a season 2 of this version. My favorite part in each show is the wedding gown try ons and the wedding scenes, the women look so beautiful.

I really enjoyed this series. As an American that has never been to Japan, I found it even more interesting to learn about the culture and how the contestants went about dating. The contestants led with their brain instead of their heart which is typically seen in American dating shows. I also enjoyed seeing the places that they visited for the getaway and the apartments that they lived in leading up to the wedding. Plus their budget is huge as shown by the design for the pods, living quarters, the flower filled bridge for where the couple meets if they get engaged and the hotel for the getaway!

The contestants took the experience seriously especially when compared to those on the American version. Although some of the contestants fell for the same person, there wasn't any animosity or drama over it. There were no cat fights and both the male and female groups provided a sense of support for one another. This show was filled with love and you can't but hope that everyone finds someone.

I liked that the couples who did get "married" or just walked down the aisle showed that it is possible to fall in love without seeing the other first. I enjoyed hearing about their reservations before the wedding and how they worked on them as a couple. All of the couples took the dating process more seriously and that is shown in the types of conversations that they had on the dates.

I'm really enjoying this show. After watching the American version, with a number of backstabbing/egocentric people, it's refreshing to witness a culture in which the participants are respectful and supportive of each other--even when they have differences.

Watching this has given me insight into Japanese culture.

PS Having just watched the final episodes, I raised my rating from 8 stars to 9. The kindness and respect between couples and families is amazing and enlightening.

I love cultural diversity so it's a gift to see "Love is Blind" in different cultures. I was happy to see some of the cultural differences in the Japanese series and would have loved to see more for example traditional clothing. It was interesting to see how the couples communicate especially when engaging in a serious conversation. It was also neat to see how there was an important focus on being respectful in this culture. At times the show was a bit dry and slow but then would grab my attention and pull me back in. I felt like a few women were more focused on promoting their talents on the show than falling in love. Some of the overdubs were awful, especially the one that sounded like a little girl. This was especially creepy because under the overdue you can hear that she has a deeper adult voice. Overall I enjoyed this season of Love is Blind Japan.

It will bring to you all the emotions from being strangers thru to the process of getting married from different people's perspective.

Sometimes I feel sweetness, sometimes I feel stress when I put myself in the guys' shoes.

Definitely a must watch. I bet the girls will love this more than a guy do. But I am a guy! :)

I wish they can continue filming their lives but alas, it's not possible as once the love ends, most likely they will never return.
