If You Are the One (2017 game show)

The single man divides twenty-four women into two groups of twelve, the "favourites" group and the "observation" group, prior to starting the conversation between the women and the single man. The women strut down the runway to the large screen, and are not able to see the single man while he is selecting his groups on a tablet. The host and the single man then begins conversation with the women behind the screen after the selection process has taken place, followed by playing his first video.[6][1]

After the first round of conversation has taken place between the single man and women, the host notifies the single man to select his first finalist, which his selection is revealed to the women shortly after selection. The selected woman is then asked to proceed to the gold finalist podiums.[7] Prior to the reveal of the single man to the women, the screen shows chronological photos of the single man starting from his childhood before the screen raises up to reveal his full body where he then introduces himself to the women.[1]

The single man uses a total of two video clips to reveal some personal information such as occupation, interests and love history. During each video clip, each of the women from the favourites group decides whether or not he is still "date-worthy" in her opinion by keeping her light on or off, or for the women in the observation group, adjust their thermometers to measure their interest in the single man. Before the second video clip is shown, the host notifies the single man to select his second finalist, which his selection is revealed to the women shortly after. The second selected woman is then asked to join the other finalist on the gold podiums. The contestants, guests and host frequently exchange banter with each other when video clips aren't being shown.[1]

If a girl in the favourites group doesn’t like the man, she will turn her light off (followed by a sound cue). The girls in the observation group may use their thermometers to measure their interest in the single man.[1][6]

If, after both videos have been played, if there is still at least one girl from the favourites group still with lights on, the man can elect to either swap one of the finalists for one of the girls from the favourites group with her light still on or to keep the initially selected girls on the gold podiums as finalists.[7][8] The man puts to the finalists a question that he chooses from a set menu of queries, followed by putting forward a question of his own.

If the single man had chosen to keep the initial two finalists selected during the final questions round, the host asks the single man to choose a preferred finalist to take. This is followed by the host revealing separately whether the finalists had kept their light on for the single man during the round. If his preferred girl from the final two had kept her light on, the single man leaves with the girl. If his preferred girl had turned off her light, the man leaves the stage alone.[9] If the single man had chosen to swap out one of the finalists out for one of the girls that had kept their light on in the favourites section during the round and decides to choose the woman that was swapped into the finalists podiums after the final question round, he is able to walk to her, take her hand and leave together for a presumed future date.

If all the girls in the favourites group had turned their lights off at the end of the round, the host bypasses the question round and goes directly to the finalists decision by revealing to the single man whether if both finalists had kept their light on during the round. If it is revealed that one or both finalists had kept their light on for the man, it is up to the man to choose whether to leave with one of the finalists. If it has been revealed that both finalists had their lights off, the man leaves the stage alone.

Occasionally, a man elects to choose none of the finalists and departs alone.

The post-game interview appears with the man alone, or with him and his chosen girl if he is "successful". Matched couples are also awarded a cruise to Japan.[10]

The song as the male contestant walks through the backstage tunnel is an advertising jingle for show sponsor Pinduoduo.[11][12][13]

The song when a girl makes her entrance whilst the male is selecting his groups is Martin Jensen's "Solo Dance".[14]

The introduction song when a male contestant enters the stage is Jean-Roch's "I see your light".[14]

When the finalists are selected, the song New Thang by Redfoo plays.[14]

If the male contestant leaves without a date, Yoga Lin's (林宥嘉) "Back" (背影) plays.[14]

A matched couple leaves to the tune of "A bit sweet" (有點甜) by By2 featuring Wang Su Long (汪苏泷).[14]
