What is Love Village?
Love Village is a Japanese reality romance series where “singles 35 and over from various backgrounds live together and rebuild a house for another chance at love.” When they believe they’ve found ‘the one’, cast members ring the iconic pink bell, ready to confess their feelings to the entire group. If the bell ringer’s feelings are not reciprocated, they must immediately leave alone.
Netflix Philippines teased, “Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, sharing meals and sleeping under one roof, they talk about the paths they have walked. While they sometimes clash, they gradually open up to each other’s genuine feelings. Behind bright personalities and free spirits lie divorces, bereavements, and sudden illnesses. Wounds and regrets that aren’t easy to share slowly find their way into words. Shedding their armor and exposing their true selves, these adults attempt to trust and love someone once again in the rest of their lives — shining a light on each of their fresh starts.”
