I admit, I watched this when it appeared on my suggestion list and I noticed Jasper Lui was in it. Not familiar with Thai Drama as am a K-Drama fan and became aware of him in a travel series with a K-Drama star and noticed what a fun lovable authentic guy he was. Been watching a few of his dramas since. I thought he was perfectly cast in this role and was both comical and cute. He was also loyal to his wife and tried hard for her. He was also a mamma's boy which was the catalyst of many of their marriage problems to begin with. He just played it all perfect. Am not sure the FL was the best match for him though. Regardless, the stereotyping of the housewife's clothing (dowdy looking apparel) seems to be the norm for these dramas.

There was just enough tension in the drama to keep each episode interesting without getting stressed out over it. So making it a fun, relaxed, and comical show with romance and everyday doldrums in the real world to make emotions go up and down. I took a few stars off mainly because the twist ending was quite predictable from the beginning.

My stars are for Jasper and his comical scenes.

The unique aspect of this dating show is that the 10 singles must lockup their cellphones and communicate 100% through either meeting organically while roaming the seaside of Nice, or writing letters and checking the mailboxes at the central location. At first, in episode 1 I thought they would never run into each other, but it doesn't take too long to get started and for a brave few to drop basically incognito invites in the mailbox which gets things started. The guys ate cute and some more innocent than others it appears. One thing guys should learn is don't make a date and then cancel it for another girl!!! Red flag!

I did not give a 10 for the reason that as always in these types of shows, the singles consist of actors, models, business owner with own brand, comedian, retired olympian starting a new business and a good dancer that possibly might need a newer career due to getting older. It's always in the back of my mind are they here to promote their future, or are they really here to find love? Are the tears real or are they acting? So took one star off. Was nice to see the travel part and tourist things to do in NiCE, and the businesses featured.

Isn't this an exploitive documentary in that most of these residents have some form of dementia and aren't aware that they are being filmed in the first place? Even if the nursing home had them sign a release for a documentary are the patients even aware what Netflix is in the first place and realize their lives will be exposed to millions of viewers? I am giving this a 5 because I don't know how to rate this as I think it is deceiving to the residents. However it caught my eye and I wanted to see it. At the same time, the spying was on the premise (as described in the beginning) for a concerned daughter to find out if her mother was being abused and having items stolen and there is supposedly a confidentiality agreement between the detective and her to keep the spying for that reason only. So what's it doing on TV then? Is the agreement expired after a year or so of signing it and now they can make money.? If the daughter was so concerned why was she not coming to visit the daughter?

The 5 stars I gave was for the beginning - I wasn't even sure if this was a comedy movie or what as it was funny like a movie as the spy was getting instructions for using his equipment, spying etc. It just didn't look real. And the stars for the sweetness of the residents.
