How does love change with illness?

In the new dating show 'Love Against Time', one of the criteria for contestants to join the show is to have previously been at risk of losing their life due to illness. The show highlights their struggles to find romance, and the problems they face due to their previous conditions.

Contestant Jung Yeji delves into roadblocks in dating including,

Someone I was talking to said genetics really mattered.

For those who date casually, this might never have even been a consideration between couples, but when planning for the long-term, poor health can become a concern. Some may not want to be in a relationship with them for fear that future children would inherit the illness.

Unlike other South Korean dating shows that facilitate thrilling escapades, 'Love Against Time' promises contestants a chance for an ordinary love. Perhaps for those that carry the burden of past health problems, an ordinary love and an ordinary family is what they find most attractive.

'Love Against Time' challenges our existing perception of love and shows viewers perspectives unique to those that have struggled with health.
