FANY STUDIO's ORIGINAL DATING REALITY SHOW “REA(L)OVE” WAS ACQUIRED BY GLOBAL AGENCY

TOKYO, 05, 04 2024: Fany Studio today announces that Global Agency, the world’s leading independent TV content distributor, has acquired global distribution rights to its mega-hit original Japanese format, REA(L)OVE. The dating reality show REA(L)OVE injects a gripping twist into the format, bringing together 20 contestants seeking romance but burdened with a deep secret, leaving viewers to discover whether love survives or dies when the truth emerges. Diverse characters such as fraudsters, adulterers and bankrupts reveal their secrets over three days, with host celebrities keeping their eyes on their journey and guiding viewers to empathize with contestants easily. The show reveals from close quarters the emotional rollercoaster experienced by the contestants as reality dawns over nine episodes. Ultimately, each must decide whether they can fall in love with their prospective partner once they find out the truth. For some love may blossom but some hearts are bound to be broken. One standout feature involves the inclusion of two well-known celebrity hosts who will embark on the journey alongside the participants, overseeing their progress and motivating them in their quest for love. These hosts play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative, offering guidance to the participants and orchestrating one-on-one interactions.
