"I Want to Fall in Love Like a Romance Drama" (Dora-Koi) is a popular Japanese reality dating show series streaming on ABEMA. The central theme is an experimental question: "Will young actors and actresses who co-star in a romance drama really fall in love?" ## Overview of the Cohabitation House (Dora-Koi House) Structure: A super-luxurious designer mansion with a pool located in the Tokyo suburbs. The eight members live here for one month. Men's Room: A four-person room with two bunk beds. Every night, the guys have real, heart-to-heart talks about who they like. Women's Room: A four-person room lined with large vanities. A place for girl talk while doing makeup and subtle power plays against rivals. Living Room & Kitchen: The central hub where everyone gathers. When pairs who failed the audition return in low spirits, a complex atmosphere flows between them and the members welcoming them back. 1. A "Kiss Scene" in Every Episode Within the program, a short romance drama is produced for each episode. These dramas always include a kiss scene, and the performers must kiss as part of their acting. 2. Only One Pair Can Lead (Audition System) Not all members get to appear in the drama. Men and women form pairs, practice their acting, and only the one pair selected by passing the audition can film the drama as the leads. 3. The Boundary Between Acting (Lies) and Sincerity (Reality) Real feelings emerge, such as the desire to win the lead role to kiss a specific person, or the jealousy and conflict of not wanting to see that person kiss someone else. The highlight is the moment they truly fall in love while kissing for the sake of acting. ## Cohabitation House Rules (Two People Only) Entry Conditions: On the night before each audition or after a drama shoot, only one pair (one man, one woman) chosen by the teacher's appointment, member voting, or drawing lots can stay.
