Rak Rak: Sense of Love (2026) | S1 Trailer and Info (EP links Included) | Viu

Rak Rak: Sense of Love is a Korean global dating reality show produced by BigHouse Entertainment as a Viu Original.A dating reality that captures the process of forming connections through the senses, rather than relying on language or physical appearances. Set in the culturally rich and unfamiliar landscape of Thailand, the program brings together ten young adults from Korea and Southeast Asia with completely different backgrounds and cultures to find the answer to the question. They reconnect and share forgotten emotions through the five senses — taste, sight, hearing, smell, and touch — which had been dulled by the fast-paced routines of urban life.

Aired: Apr 30, 2026 - Jun 11, 2026

Episodes: 8

Trailer: Trailer

Official Stream: Viu Watch FreeEP1-EP8

Note: You need to connect to an Asian VPN server to watch shows on Viu. The show is available on “Kisskh Do and GoPlay”. Since Kisskh Do and GoPlay is a pirated streaming site, we cannot share links to these sites on Reddit.

Upcoming Chinese Dating Shows 2026–2027

<-Youku Shows->

Twinkle Love S6: A Midsummer Dream -> I think it might be released around April 2027. Since filming began in the summer, the expected release date is in Q2 of 2027. -> Picture 1-1

Love Wins All S2: It is likely to be released toward the end of 2026. It has been added to the top of the list of upcoming dating shows on the Youku website. I expect the series to air in Q1 of 2027. -> Picture 1-2

Mom, I Want to Fall in Love S1: It appears it will follow the same concept as the Korean version, “Match to Marry: With Parents.” I expect the series to air in Q2 of 2027-> Picture 2-1

She's Been Single Since Birth S1: Although it may seem like the Chinese version of the Korean series “Better Late Than Single,” it actually has a different style. We’ll watch as female contestants who have never dated anyone since birth interact with men on the show who are searching for true love. I expect the series to air in Q1 of 2027, but if it comes out sooner, that would be even better for us. -> Picture 2-2

We Who Don't Know How to Fall in Love S1: For some reason, the description gave me a “Terrace House JPN” vibe. It looks like it's going to be a long-running show, or at least the filming period has been set to last at least three seasonal cycles. I expect the series to be released in Q2 of 2027 -> Picture 3-1

My Love, Please S1: They're trying out a different format. It’s the exact opposite of the Korean show “Date My Friend,” where we watch celebrities’ friends go on dates. In this one, the friends make the selections from among 100 male candidates who are a good match for five celebrity women. I expect the series to be released in Q1 of 2027 or around December 2026 -> Picture 3-2

<-iQIYI Shows->

I'll Fall in Love with You Sooner or Later S1: The Chinese version of the Korean show “Noona, You Are a Woman to Me”.I expect the series to be released in Q1 of 2027. -> Picture 4-1

Love This Sea S1*: With its 30-day search for love, it resembles the “Heart Signal” format. The expected release date is in Q1 of 2027. -> Picture 4-2

Yes, I Do (I'm So Into You) S7: The expected release date is in Q2 of 2027. -> Picture 5-1

Wagging its tail and saying "I love you" S1: The Chinese version of the Korean show “Pet Me Pick Me.” I expect the series to be released around November or December 2026. -> Picture 5-2

<-Tencent Video->

Please Get Married Right Away S1 -> Although it may seem similar to the show “We Got Married,” the concept here is simply to watch celebrity couples who are actually together go through a simulated marriage. It is expected to be released in October 2026.

Love Actually 6 -> Tencent has announced the new season. The expected release date is in Q2 of 2027.

Heart Signal S10 -> Tencent has announced the new season. The expected release date is in Q2 of 2027.

Secrets in Love Season S3 -> According to some sources, it is expected to be released sometime in 2026, but there is still no definite information. The expected release date is in November or December 2026.

Forever by Your Side S2 -> Applications opened in April. Since it was filmed over the summer, IThe expected release date is in Q1 of 2027 at the earliest.

Dear Friend S4 -> It looks like Season 4 will be released at the end of this year or in Q1 of 2027. Although it doesn’t appear on the 2027 schedule, as far as I could tell from my research in 2026, it’s still in the plans, but I couldn’t find a trailer or anything like that.

<-Mango TV->

Heartbeat Duet S1 -> “Marry: With Parents” has a Chinese version, but interestingly, Youku is also set to release a show based on the same concept. Right now, I'm waiting for the final episodes to air, and I'll be creating content about it.

When Love Comes Again S1 -> It’s a slightly different version of "Divorced Singles". As far as I understand, this show features divorced single parents looking for a second chance. The expected release date is in late 2026 or early 2027.

Dear, Lovely S1 ->The program positions itself as a slower-paced experience focused on pure romance and everyday life, free from stress. The expected release date is in either Q1 of 2027 or December 2026.

Boss, Watch Me Date S1 -> On the show’s studio panel, top CEOs from six major companies watch and analyze their employees’ dates in the “dating house. The expected release date is in either Q1 of 2027 or December 2026.

Special Invitation to Love S2 -> Since the first season was a hit, the second season was filmed using the same format. The expected release date is in Q1/Q2 of 2027.

Sing for You S3 -> The show's third season. The expected release date is Q1-Q2 of 2027.

Love's Chance (Escape from the 9-to-5 Romance) S2 -> Filming for Season 2 was completed in Shenzhen. The expected release date is this month (October 2026)

You Go Dating, I'm Worried S1 -> This show is about overprotective fathers, older brothers, or close friends who directly interfere with and keep a close eye on the dating lives of single women and men in the family. The expected release date is to air in mid-2027 (Q2 or Q3 - summer).

Heart Rendezvous Inn S1 -> • The participants open a small business called “Heart Rendezvous Inn.” Throughout the show, they not only run this business together, sharing the responsibilities of real life, but also deepen their emotional bond in the process. It is expected to air in the first half of 2027 (Q1 or Q2 - winter/spring).

100 People Dating Club S1 -> The Chinese version of Couple Palace. At first glance, the content seems very similar: 50 men and 50 women, speed dating, etc. The expected release date is in Q3 2027.

Note: Information has been added to the main content.

Note: Names may sometimes appear differently in translations, but I’ve listed the show titles using the names I found to be consistent across various sources. If you provide the exact translations, I’ll edit them later.

Groom Class (2022 - Present) | S1 - S2 Trailer and Info (EP links Included) | Channel A

The Groom Class (Men's Life These Days: Groom's Class) is a South Korean reality variety show from Channel A. That follows male celebrities with different relationship backgrounds as they navigate dating, relationships, and marriage. Single men meet new people through blind dates and various dating activities, while men who are already dating are followed as they develop their relationships through dates, trips, and everyday experiences. The show also features married men and married couples, who share their experiences of love and married life and offer advice to the unmarried participants, while some cast members openly discuss past relationships, their ideal partners, and their hopes or concerns about marriage. Through dating, relationship-focused activities, and everyday-life experiences, the program explores different stages of romantic life, from meeting someone new and starting a relationship to dating, preparing for marriage, and experiencing married life. Season 2 focuses more directly on romance and dating. While the cast consists of single and divorced men, the perspectives of married, divorced, and single people are also represented through the show’s hosts and special guests, who offer relationship advice and share their insights.

Aired: S1 January 19, 2022 - December 31, 2025 -> S2 Mar 19, 2026 - ?

Episodes: 195

MyDramaList: Men's Life These Days: Groom's Class S1-> Men's Life These Days: Groom's Class S2

Official Stream: S1 Playlist -> S2 Playlist

Note: You can watch the episodes using YouTube’s auto-subtitles feature.

Main Hosts S1: Lee Seung Chul (Ep. 1~) · Hong Hyun Hee (Ep. 1–25) · Kim Won Hee (Ep. 1–48) · Shin Bong Seon (Ep. 1–48) · Moon Se Yoon (Ep. 49~) · Han Go Eun (Ep. 49–117) · Jang Young Ran (Ep. 49–117) · Lee Da Hae (Ep. 118~) · Lee Su Ji (Ep. 118~) · Shim Jin Hwa (Ep. 118~)

Main Hosts S2: Lee Seung Chul · Tak Jae Hoon · Song Hae Na

This show is mainly a reality variety show, but I included it because it features a lot of dating elements. The second season, in particular, leans more toward the dating show format. It might also appeal to those who enjoy watching the love lives of celebrities, much like "We Got Married or My Daughter's Men".

"In the Town Where You Can See the Stars" will premiere on October 16, 2026 Nippon TV - exclusively Hulu Japan

In a Town Where You Can See the Stars (星の見える町で) is a Japanese dating reality show from Nippon TV that premiered on October 16, 2026. Five women from Tokyo move to a rural town known for its beautiful night sky, where they meet local men and explore love while experiencing life outside the city. The show will air on Nippon TV, while the original version will also be available exclusively on Hulu Japan.

Even though I don’t think we’ll be able to find English subtitles, I shared this because it might interest people who know Japanese and have access to Hulu Japan or Nippon TV. I don’t think Hulu will release this show globally, but I liked the concept—it reminded me of a style somewhere between “Love Village” and “Terrace House.”

Couple Palace (2024-2025) | S1-S2 Trailer and Info. (EP Links Included) | Mnet

“Couple Palace” is a South Korean dating reality show produced by Mnet. The first season features the real-life stories of 50 single men and 50 single women on their journey toward marriage. In the second season, the number of participants was reduced to 30 men and 30 women.

MyDramaList: Couple Palace S1 -> Couple Palace S2

MC: Kim Jong Kook - Yoo Se Yoon - Lee Mi Joo

This show definitely offers an interesting experience. It unfolds like a fast-paced “blind dating to speedy marriage” show. Although couples initially select each other based on profession, age, and appearance, over time they can change their partner choices as they interact with and grow closer to other participants within “Couple Palace.” Set in a chaotic environment, the show was generally entertaining to watch, even if it was sometimes frustrating.

I Am Solo | S33 Finale Live Stream | 2026-09-30

https://preview.redd.it/qjnnx0668psh1.png?width=1331&format=png&auto=webp&s=32144df0183ba2e53cda1648c883dbc41acf07ec

I watched the S33 Live Stream after finishing S33 Finale. As of now, none of the couples are still together. Ysik is seeing someone, while the others are continuing as Motae Solo.

It seems the biggest change has been with SC. SC lost quite a bit of weight and gained muscle. HS has also given himself a different look with a new haircut, and she looks much cuter than she did earlier in the season. I was disappointed that Ysoo and OS didn't participate. Both were characters we were expecting to see in the live event this season. More detailed information about the live event will be added later, but that’s the general situation. You can also post the details below after watching it. Since this is a “Live Stream” there’s no need to use a spoiler tag in your posts.
