It Turns Out to Be Quite Heavy Watching a Show Where People Have to Install a Window Frame on Their First Date
The author describes watching the Dutch dating show 'Wil je met me bouwen?' (Do You Want to Build With Me?), where singles renovate homes while seeking romance. Filmed in the intense summer of 2026, the series features participants struggling with physical labor and high temperatures, often compounded by language barriers involving expats. The columnist notes the discomfort of viewing couples attempting to build chemistry while installing window frames in 40-degree heat, citing examples like Lan dealing with a rival. Ultimately, the author suggests that such grueling real-life scenarios are more realistic for relationships than typical romantic settings, though they prefer not to watch it themselves.
