1. What is Love Joto? What are the features of the show and the background to the problems that arose?

 

"Love First" is a work that stands out from previous romance reality shows. The setting is a fictional school deep in the mountains called "Roubu First Academy." The men and women who are gathered there have suffered major setbacks and problems in the past, such as a former leader of a motorcycle gang, a former juvenile detention center, and someone who grew up in an institution.

 

Over the course of 14 days, the pair will be living together and will be forced to face not only their romantic relationships, but also their own pasts and emotions head-on. The show's greatest feature is that they openly express their feelings to each other, which leads to many fights and clashes, leading to mixed reactions from viewers, with some saying it was "too serious" and others saying it was "too intense."

 

The tension reached its peak with Yangbo's sudden expulsion from school, depicted in episode 3.

 

 

 

 

2. Who is Yanbo? His position in the show

 

Yangbo is 30 years old. Introduced on the show as a "former intellectual yakuza," he displays a calm demeanor as an older member. In the early episodes, he often calms down the other members who tend to get emotional, and he is trusted by the male members as an older brother figure.

 

In terms of romance, he was gradually growing closer to Baby and Tekarin, and was expected to become a central character in future love affairs. Therefore, his sudden expulsion came as a huge shock to viewers, both in terms of the show's structure and emotionally.

 

 

 

 

3. Details of Yang Bo's drug expulsion case

 

The problem started with a drinking scene on the first day they were living together. During a casual conversation while cooking, Yang Bo made a comment that hinted at his past behavior, which the staff took issue with.

 

Afterwards, Yangbo was summoned by the staff and questioned in a separate room, and the program decided that "he had made remarks that could not be overlooked from a compliance standpoint." As a result, it was announced that he would be expelled from the school midway through the third episode.

 

This development came without any prior warning and was very sudden even for the viewers.

 

 

 

 

4. Was drug use really the reason for his expulsion?

 

The important thing here is that it was not "drug use confirmed" that was the issue, but rather inappropriate comments that were reminiscent of drugs.

 

In a statement after his expulsion, Yang Bo clearly denied the allegations, saying, "I didn't actually use it," and "I was drunk and made a comment that got carried away." In other words, the reason for his expulsion wasn't the act itself, but the content he said that was unacceptable for a Netflix production.

 

This decision is likely due to the strict standards that Netflix, a global distribution platform, has.

 

 

 

 

5. Why did suspicions of staging and directing emerge?

 

Regarding Yang Bo's expulsion, many people on social media questioned whether it was staged. The reason for this is the speed at which things developed and the fact that the entire program seems overly staged.

 

On the other hand, many viewers felt that Yang Bo's facial expressions and behavior were too realistic and "could not be reproduced in a script." In particular, there were many opinions that the tears and words he showed during the farewell scene with the female members did not seem like artificial emotions.

 

As a result, the "staged" and "real" camps are in a state of equilibrium, and the debate itself has only made the show even more popular.

 

 

 

 

6. The relationship dynamics changed after Yangbo was expelled

 

Yang Bo's expulsion caused a big shift in the romantic relationships on the show, especially the ones surrounding Baby. Baby, who had previously had feelings for Yang Bo, was now approached by Nisei in earnest, creating a new love triangle.

 

In addition, the addition of new member Tenten has significantly changed the overall balance.

7. Summary of Episode 3 of Love Joto

It is no exaggeration to say that episode 3 determined the direction of the show "Love is Great."
With the central character, Yang Bo, expelled from school, it becomes clear that while the story is a realistic love story, it also has a strong awareness of compliance and social responsibility.

 

At the same time, the show is moving into a more chaotic love story, further piqued viewers' interest.
