With only two episodes left, the fourth season of Netflix‘s Korean dating show Single’s Inferno is coming to an end. Was Single’s Inferno 4 the worst season so far? Here are 10 “hot takes” from viewers about Single’s Inferno 4 and how it could have been better.
1. The true “villain” wasn’t a cast member
These viewers felt that Single’s Inferno 4‘s editing ruined their enjoyment of the show, not the cast.

5. Inferno wasn’t hellish enough
Viewers were disappointed by the lack of contrast between life in Inferno (the island) and Paradise (a luxurious hotel resort). Some complained that making life in Inferno too easy made the show boring to watch.

6. There were too many models.
Viewers pointed out that most of the cast members this season were models, while in earlier seasons the cast members had careers in various fields. Bae Ji Yeon‘s job–spatial designer–helped set her apart from other cast members on Single’s Inferno 4.

7. Lee Si An was just playing the game.
Throughout Single’s Inferno 4, Si An was accused of being unfair to male cast members by stringing them along. However, some netizens have applauded Si An for “acting like a dating show participant and exploring her options.”

8. Yuk Jun Seo is the most charming.
Jun Seo was criticized by viewers for his so-called “red flag” behavior toward female cast members, but not everyone was a hater. Some viewers enjoyed watching Jun Seo on the show and would have liked to have seen him appear as a mid-season gamechanger, similar to Dex in Single’s Inferno 2, rather than as an original cast member.

9. Kim Te Hwan “only thinks of himself.”
Te Hwan went from being an underrated fan favorite who deserved more screen time to being perceived as a “narcissist“ after his date with Bae Ji Yeon. Some viewers, however, didn’t like him right from the beginning.

Another hot take? The “narcissist” label is being applied too liberally.
