"My Remaining Romance," a story of young people who have overcome the scars of illness and set out to find love again, has touched the hearts of viewers both domestically and internationally.
SBS's new dating reality show "My Remaining Romance" has generated explosive buzz immediately following its premiere on the 3rd, producing tangible results in both domestic and international markets.
"My Remaining Romance" is a dating reality show where young adults in their 20s and 30s who have received terminal diagnoses or faced the threshold of death gather to confront life and love. The first episode depicted the fluttery first meeting of the eight cast members as they shared each other's "illness logs" and comforted one another. In particular, the unique matching system called the "Room of Time" was unveiled, offering a differentiated format from existing dating programs.
The domestic response was immediate right after the broadcast. "My Remaining Romance" landed at No. 9 on Netflix's Top 10 Series in South Korea, making it into the upper tier within its first week.
The response in overseas markets is also enthusiastic. Even before the broadcast, pre-service contracts were successfully secured with major global OTT platforms such as Japan's ABEMA, Taiwan's friDayVideo, and Hong Kong's Viu, proving the high level of interest in "My Remaining Romance." In particular, on ABEMA, a major Japanese OTT platform with approximately 30 million weekly users, the show is being serviced simultaneously with South Korea, receiving favorable reviews from overseas dating reality show fans.
Having dominated the global stage in just a single episode with the sincere narratives of cast members who have conquered illness, "My Remaining Romance" airs every Monday at 10:00 PM. Episode 2, airing on the 10th, will fully unveil the results of the "Room of Time" selections along with scenes from their exciting first dates.
