After setting a new benchmark in reality dating with the Single’s Inferno series, Netflix is back with a fresh new twist on the genre in Better Late Than Single. This time, the spotlight is on “eternal singles” (known as “motae-solos” in Korean) – adults who have never been in a relationship.
These dating rookies, hilariously awkward yet incredibly lovable as they navigate their first real steps in love, receive expert coaching in this groundbreaking makeover-style dating reality show. Their endearing missteps and heartfelt efforts are sure to spark laughter, empathy, and plenty of rooting from viewers around the world.
Seo In-guk, Kang Hanna, Lee Eun-ji, and Car, the garden join the show as “cupid experts,” offering practical tips to help singles navigate their perfect first dates. Known in Korea for their knowledge in romance and relationship advice, these dating experts’ candid and over-the-top reactions add an extra layer of entertainment as they guide viewers through the hilariously unpredictable dating moments.
The teaser trailer reveals the unpredictable first dates of these “eternal singles,” unfolding in the most relatable and entertaining ways. Overwhelmed by new emotions, they ask if love and dating are always this hard and complicated – a sentiment that perfectly captures the heartfelt chaos of first-time romance. But then comes a surprising confession: marriage comes to mind for one of the cast members, raising anticipation for the emotional rollercoaster ahead.
What starts as a charming comedy of errors soon evolves into something deeper. The romantic growth of these lovable late bloomers already has us wondering: could their journeys end in a heart-fluttering happily ever after?
Better Late Than Single premieres on July 8, only on Netflix.
