Amazon Prime Video to adapt CJ ENM dating show EXchange in Japan

EXchange debuted on CJ ENM’s streaming service TVING

Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service has commissioned a local remake of South Korean dating format Exchange in Japan.

Titled Love Transit, the show will premiere in Japan on June 15.

EXchange, originally aired on CJ ENM’s OTT service TVING and features ex-couples living together in a house and sharing their daily lives while going through various dating missions to build new relationships with each other.

The identities of each participant’s ex are concealed and at the end of each day, anonymous messages revealing each person’s current love interest are delivered.

Jangho Seo, senior VP of content business at CJ ENM, said: “We are confident that the EXchange format will capture the hearts of the Japanese viewers. While staying true to the essence of the original format, Love Transit well incorporates elements that will appeal to the local market. We feel that Korean entertainment shows are the next big trend. They are brought to a global audience through streaming platforms like Prime Videoand expanding across the world through their remakes.”
