When Dating Shows Are Unscripted

Among them, Chu Yanfeng, Shi Quanxi, and Qin Shuling are from the entertainment industry, while the other three are ordinary people.

Chu Yanfeng (Xiao Yan): Sensitive and insecure internally, but appears sunny, cheerful, and cute on the surface (so few people see his vulnerability and sensitive inner self). He was a member of a popular former idol group, the most popular among the members. He had many fans, but was consequently envied by a certain group member who, with others, ostracized him. He always puts himself last, rushes to take on hardship, envies others, and looks down on himself. Although Yu Mushuang is slow-witted, she always unintentionally comforts his sensitive heart. He has extremely high talent in music and dance; when performing, his aura is fully unleashed, with a bit of a rogue charm, giving a strong "contrast moe" effect.

Qin Shuling: An introverted actress, a timid cute girl who is more lively around familiar people. She is an excellent actress, embodying any role she plays. She particularly likes Li Wan. She has mysophobia, is very meticulous, and silently cares for people (she was the first to notice Chu Yanfeng's sensitivity). She loves to act cute and is very emotional, thus crying easily. She is good at providing emotional value but is hated by the entire internet (netizens call her a "green tea" and pretentious).

Lu Yili: Ordinary person, very arrogant, king of trash talk, competitive, sharp-tongued but always silenced by a single word from Li Wan. He hates hypocrisy, gets angry easily but is also easily appeased with a few comforting words. Qin Shuling's ability to provide emotional value is very effective for him. He is accompanied by two bodyguards (if the director allowed, he would bring a whole troop, but the director doesn't. During filming, the two bodyguards quietly stay out of frame, almost invisible, but sometimes they intervene to protect Lu Yili, mostly resulting in comical blunders that provide key comedic moments). Seeing Lu Yili obey Li Wan so readily, these two bodyguards eventually end up obeying Li Wan as well.

Li Wan: Ordinary person, a Buddhist-like older sister. On the surface, she is a cool, aloof white moonlight, but in reality, she is an arrogant rich young lady. She is emotionally stable, hates loneliness, is intelligent, but extremely unlucky and tone-deaf. Shi Quanxi tried to teach her basic music theory but quickly gave up.

Shi Quanxi: A lazy, creative singer. He is very world-weary, too lazy to speak, and an excellent cook, making incredibly delicious food. His personality is pessimistic and lazy, and he has a good temper (because he's too lazy to get angry). He is surprisingly serious only about music; his music creation ability is very strong, capable of improvisation, and he excels at both composing and lyric writing. He has a lot to talk about with Chu Yanfeng. He initially appears cold, but his demeanor changes instantly when music is mentioned. He was initially annoyed by Yu Mushuang's excessive enthusiasm. His childhood, stemming from his original family, left a significant shadow, and he privately takes medication for depression.

Yu Mushuang: Enthusiastic, straightforward, full of drive, strong, talkative, optimistic, forgetful, simple-minded but strong, extremely lucky, and good at setting the mood, yet also oblivious to the mood. She possesses legendary "super-鈍感力" (extreme lack of sensitivity). She always finds a way to make Shi Quanxi take games seriously. Her personality shares some similarities with Lu Yili; both are very active and can play all day without rest.

Chi Liangyu: The director. Very protective of his own. The dating show is criticized for its bad games, poor quality, lack of novelty, and lack of sweetness. No matter how much the audience scolds the director or the show, he turns a blind eye, indifferent. The show was prepared by the previous director, who had the script written and cast selected, but ended up in prison before filming began. This show was then handed over to him by his family. Since his family is wealthy, he doesn't care about ratings at all and only focuses on pouring money into giving the show's members the best. However, if anyone criticizes the members of the dating show, he will be the first to publicly retaliate. He is efficient in his actions, decisive in his dealings, and unconditionally dotes on the members. His family has had high-ranking, influential veteran actors or directors in the entertainment industry for generations. He used to be criticized by netizens as a prodigal son, disgracing his family, but later the show's profits exceeded their wildest imaginations.

Yan Yujing: The cinematographer and a good friend of the director. Aloof and quiet, he appears impatient when speaking to the director but his tone is surprisingly doting. He can't help but smile and solve problems for the director when he acts foolishly. His family is also wealthy, but they are strict with him, unlike the director who can spend lavishly and carelessly. His family doesn't give him money. He is interested in photography, specifically natural landscapes, not people. When the director asked him to film the show, he initially refused, but the director offered a very high price, and he agreed without hesitation. He unconditionally protects the director when issues arise, leading the audience to "ship" this pair.

Everyone gets along more like family, with very close relationships, but there are not many romantic sparks. It relies entirely on netizens finding details to imagine, not at all like a dating show.

There are many potential pairings, regardless of gender. Viewers can "ship" any two people. Eventually, the audience doesn't even mind if the number of people involved is more than two.
