CGiii Comment
As riveting as a loose screw!
Being the very first same-sex reality dating show Japan has ever produced, it's safe to say that they [the producers] played...SAFE!
Expect no knicker-ripping passion! No sweaty secretive bed-hopping. No muted moans on the stroke of midnight.
Settle for a polite coffee instead! That's as exciting as it gets, all the chaps are tasked with serving coffee! As gripping as a slippery pole!
And...it gets worse! There's a panel of 5 babbling commentators who scream and wail at every non-event that happens.
One thing is for sure, Shun is going to be very embarrassed when he grows up!
Arigatou to sayounara.

Located by the sea, the "Green Room" beach house sets the stage for nine men to find love. For a month, they live together and take turns working shifts at a peppermint green coffee truck, forging deep friendships and learning about themselves along the way. Hosted by an eclectic mix of personalities, including MEGUMI, Chiaki Horan, Thelma Aoyama, drag queen Durian Lollobrigida and Yoshimi Tokui, the show promises to deliver a rollercoaster of emotions.
