While the hosts can be a little mean sometimes (even to each other--poor Yamasato lol) they are also warm, spontaneous, and hilarious. I love how everyone is so natural and honest on the show including the hosts and how everything is so real and unscripted. It's a big difference from Singles Inferno, which just feels superficial in comparison. Being a Japanese reality tv show people also don't get into nasty screaming matches and fist fight like certain participants on American reality tv shows, which can feel very unpleasant to watch. Terrace House showcases the perfect blend of interpersonal conflict while maintaining consideration for housemate dynamics. There were a few cringe moments like when one participant had an emotional meltdown because of something minor that turned out to be a trigger for bigger issues. I love that this show isn't about just romance and finding a romantic partner but also about how human beings learn to relate to each other, experience interpersonal conflicts, and try to solve those conflicts. It is the kind of education on communication and developing better relationships that many of us do not get enough of. Although my interpersonal relationships haven't always been very good, I feel like I am learning healthier ways to relate to other people on this show. You do this by setting your boundaries and knowing when you are wrong (you apologize) and when you are right (you hope for an apology). Truly, this show goes beyond just romance. The hosts do a great job of calling out b.s. When they see it while still being kind and tolerant of human imperfections. I love this show and plan on watching the entire series!
