Romance in Jeju Island: 'Transit Love: Another Beginning'

Showbuzz's Deep Dive into Reality Show Reviews! 'Transit Love: Another Beginning,' from Jeju Black Pork Feast to the Appearance of a New Face! (Post-Broadcast Review & Date Course Recommendation!)

Hello, everyone! This is Showbuzz, who bets their life on romance reality shows! Today, the program I'll be discussing with you is the Tving original reality show, 'Transit Love: Another Beginning'! It's a spin-off of 'Transit Love,' which turned South Korea into a nation of 'Transit Love' fans since 2021, so of course I had to watch it, right?! I binged-watched the first three episodes as soon as they were released! As expected, 'Transit Love' never disappoints! Watching the cast members create new relationships in the places where they created memories with their exes, I found myself completely engrossed, laughing and crying!

'Transit Love: Another Beginning' is a program that depicts the journey of the cast members from previous seasons as they reunite and search for new love. This season, it was filmed in Jeju Island, so there's an added bonus of enjoying the beautiful scenery. It felt like a healing trip to Jeju Island with romance as a bonus!

The most striking aspect of this season is that the cast members visited the Jeju black pork restaurant, 'Dol Dam Black Pork'! As expected, the 'Transit Love' cast members are different when it comes to food, too?! The flavor of the Jeju black pork, aged for 330 hours and grilled over charcoal, makes my mouth water just thinking about it! I'll definitely go to Jeju Island soon and eat the 'Dol Dam Black Pork' black pork belly and pork neck! If you're planning to visit 'Dol Dam Black Pork,' don't forget to take a black pork mukbang (eating broadcast) picture like the 'Transit Love' cast members in their seats!

'Transit Love: Another Beginning' is also appealing because you can see updates on the cast members from past seasons. In particular, when I heard that Gyu Min, who received a lot of love in 'Transit Love 2' for his handsome looks and kind personality, would be appearing in this season, I was so excited! I was heartbroken to hear that he broke up with Se Hae Eun after the end of 'Transit Love 2,' so I wonder if he can find new love through this spin-off!

This season also features new faces, Gwan Woo and Ji Yeon. In particular, Ji Yeon reportedly surprised everyone with the most honest appearance in 'Transit Love' history, so I think we can look forward to her activities! I wonder what couples will be formed this season; my heart is already racing!

'Transit Love: Another Beginning' is very popular, ranking first in the number of Tving paid subscribers in its first week of release. However, some say that it lacks buzz compared to the previous season. It seems that this is because, as a spin-off program, it tends to rely only on the existing fandom. However, I believe that this spin-off will expand the 'Transit Love' universe and add a new dimension of fun!

'Transit Love: Another Beginning' releases new episodes every Wednesday at noon. If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend you rush to Tving and binge-watch it right now! You won't regret it! I'm already looking forward to the next episode!
