Korean dating shows have naturally become a hot topic among netizens worldwide. Most notably, Netflix's "Single's Inferno" has captivated the globe, prompting the streaming giant to renew the show for multiple seasons. While the Netflix-produced series stands at the forefront, it shares the spotlight with many other dating shows, such as "Transit Love 3" ("EXchange 3"). The TVING dating program is hosted by a panel of celebrities, including Simon Dominic, Lee YongJin, Kim YeWon, and Girl's Day's YuRa, along with other special guest hosts.
The "Transit Love" series isn't your typical dating program that only gathers strangers to find love. What sets it apart is the inclusion of exes who must come face to face with their feelings for their ex-lover and the butterflies for someone new. This aspect brings on even more complex layers that immerse viewers even deeper into the show.
Considering the fact that the TVING dating program tackles various aspects of a relationship, it also provides some great insights, too. Here's a few lessons that have come to mind while watching "Transit Love 3".

There was a shocking conversation between two exes, JuWon and SeoKyung. "If you had said 'Baby, I'm sorry', we wouldn't even be on this show." These words left a huge mark on audiences at the reality of relationships. Just one unspoken phrase could be the tipping point between staying together and breaking apart.
There have been many more moments of miscommunication between the participants since, highlighting just how important it is to actually talk to your partner. Although these conversations might be difficult and hard, it's essential in order to figure out what's on each other's mind and work towards fixing the problem, rather than leaving it alone.
2. Journeying Through Good Times And The Bad

It's always great to present your best self towards a person. This is something individuals naturally desire, not wanting to burden their partner with their own worries and hardships. However, there's something to be said in journeying with your partner, through the good times and the bad.
Despite the hardships, you learn how to work around it and find the best path necessary to overcome it. And while it might be difficult at first, having someone by your side acts as a constant reminder that you're not alone, accompanied by a sturdy pillar of support holding you tall and upright.
3. Navigating The Grief Of Breaking Up
While the participants have all gone through their respective break ups, "Transit Love 3" shows everyone that many of their past relationships aren't truly over. Some maintain their lingering feelings toward their ex-lover, while others readily move on. For those still holding on, it's a constant battle of emotions, but one they must navigate and go through.
Over the course of the dating program, we witness various methods on how to cope with breaking up. Some turn to the company of those around them, some outwardly shed tears, and others courageously confront the issues and try to resolve any past misunderstandings. Whichever route they choose, audiences can't help but wish for the participants' happiness, even if they do not get back together with their ex.
4. Follow Your Heart
It can be easy for participants to become swayed into not pursuing their romantic interest, especially when signs point to them falling for another person. However, it takes even more courage to acknowledge their feelings and head right for what they want anyways.
While in some situations, this might cause discomfort, a lesson KwangTae wholeheartedly understands. But then there are moments like those shared between YuJeong and JuWon. Watching these two make a straight beeline towards each other and follow their hearts is such a heartwarming sight to see. They know what they want and go straight for it. This certainty and confidence to do so is inspiring, causing even viewers at home to feel emboldened and eager to pursue the love they so desperately desire.
Have you been watching "Transit Love 3"? Who do you hope becomes a final couple in the end?
