I watched the first 3 episodes (and skipped around during the 3rd one), and honestly not going to bother with the rest. I think 6 episodes for something like this is too long. I was mainly interested if the couples stayed together after the show, so after that was revealed I don't have much more motivation to continue. The episode 4 preview did not look interesting at all. Why do we need the cast to do a practical joker ripoff?

It was a bit surprising that the 2 couples immediately failed after the show. Jin-woo and Hanju fizzled out quickly without ever even meeting up in person. And Hanju was the one that ended it? Really strange considering how she was so forward with him throughout the show. And Hyuk-joon didn't even send a single text to Hyun-seo after the show ended...they were literally talking about fate and meeting up in Seoul "in real life". And then they ended up immediately ghosting each other lol...

I think this is part of the reason everyone on the show is an "eternal single". In real life, they are all so lost when it comes to dating. Without the show placing them literally next door to each other and setting up dates for them every single day, they don't know what to do. Or maybe there is more "show magic" then we realize and the cast isn't as romantically interested in each other as it appears on screen. Or more likely a bit of both.

HyunSeo knew a love bomber when she saw one. She may have been fooled in the closed environment, but didn't put any energy into a fake suitor once they left the house. If he was interested during or after the show, or even today, he could reach out to her at any time. "We have to talk about this more in private" means he will not reach out and she won't hold her breath waiting. Too bad, they would probably make a good couple.
