Better Late Than Single topped the Korea TOP 10 series, surpassing Squid Game.

On the 11th, according to the ranking of 'Today’s Korea TOP 10 Series,' the variety show Better Late Than Single (Mosal Love) claimed the number one spot for the first time after defeating Squid Game 3. The show, which was second the previous day, ascended one step to reach its first number one position since its release, while Squid Game 3, which had consistently held the top position, dropped to second.

Released on the 8th, Better Late Than Single is a makeover dating reality variety show that helps those who are inexperienced in relationships experience their first love. Featuring non-celebrity participants who have never dated in their lives, the reactions of the 'SOMEmakers' Seo In-guk, Kang Han-na, Lee Eun-ji, and Car The Garden while watching the participants on VCR serve as a highlight.

Unlike many existing dating variety shows, the awkward appearances of the participants who are inexperienced in love and their occasional 'pathetic' moments serve as elements of humor. Some viewers have commented that it resembles a sitcom or skit that claims to be a dating program.

Previously, Director Jo Wook-hyung noted, "It’s a dating reality show featuring those who are taking on their first love. To support the participants in their first romance, the SOMEmakers helped with both internal and external changes. A six-week makeover involving experts was also conducted. It’s a program that supports a person's first love." Director Kim No-eun also remarked, "I thought that those who are inexperienced in love have distinct characteristics in their efforts to find their first love. There is a lot of authenticity stemming from unexpectedness and the desire for romance and anticipation. It seems you can expect a new type of dopamine that combines these elements of surprise and authenticity."

Since reaching number one on Netflix in Korea three days after its release, there are expectations about whether Better Late Than Single can also capture the attention of global viewers.
