A Love Triangle So Addictive, It’s Dominating the Korea's Buzz Rankings for 3 Weeks Straight

The creators of ''Heart Signal'' have done it again. Channel A’s new dating show ''Heart Pairing'' has taken the No.1 spot in the “TV Non-Drama Buzz (Friday)” category for three weeks straight.

According to the Week 4 May Fundex Chart from Good Data Corporation, ''Heart Pairing'' ranked second in “TV Non-Drama Buzz,” fourth in “TV-OTT Non-Drama Buzz,” and second in “TV-OTT Search Response”—sweeping nearly every metric.

Most notably, in the ultra-competitive Friday night TV slot, ''Heart Pairing'' has held onto its crown for three consecutive weeks, proving it’s not just popular—it’s irreplaceable. The show also came in first in “Female Search Interest” and second in “Male Search Interest,” highlighting its wide-reaching appeal.

And the love triangle that has everyone talking—between Jeyeon, Jimin, and Sangyoon—is peaking. All three placed in the “TV Non-Drama Cast Buzz” rankings: Jeyeon at No.6, Jimin at No.7, and Sangyoon at No.13, reflecting the viewers’ passionate interest in their unfolding story.

As the show continues to generate buzz, episode 12—airing on May 30—will dive into the “Ultimate Chaos” of its ever-shifting love lines. After ending their “second contract dating phase,” the housemates will begin a new chapter: postcard-style dates with potential matches from Italy.

''Heart Pairing'' isn’t your typical dating show. It follows young men and women who are no longer just playing the field—they’re seriously searching for life partners. The goal? Finding someone truly compatible for marriage.

A standout element is the show’s unique “Pairing Book,” which features each cast member’s answers to 33 deep questions about love and marriage, adding thoughtful depth to the usual romantic tension.

At the heart of this success is the legendary production team behind ''Heart Signal''—a name viewers trust. From the very beginning, the show has attracted attention as the next must-watch romance series.
