Love is in the air — and this time, it’s on the clock! tvN Asia, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board, introduces “Love on the Clock,” a brand-new dating reality series filmed entirely in Hong Kong. The show brings together six Filipino singles on a quest for romance while showcasing the city’s most vibrant attractions.
As the first-ever Pinoy dating reality show filmed in Hong Kong, “Love on the Clock” premieres on tvN Asia and TV5 Philippines this October, blending travel, heart-fluttering chemistry, and friendly competition in one unforgettable series.
“We’re thrilled to partner with tvN Asia on ‘Love on the Clock,’ a series that beautifully captures the essence of Hong Kong as a city of love, energy, and vibrant experiences,” said Liew Chian Jia, Hong Kong Tourism Board’s regional director of Southeast Asia.
“From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, the show offers audiences a fresh perspective on Hong Kong’s captivating appeal — whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering it with someone special,” she added
A game of hearts across Hong Kong
Hosted by Filipino stars Juancho Triviño and Dawn Chang, the eight-episode series premiered on October 11 on TV5 and airs Saturdays at 9:15 p.m. (Manila time). In Singapore, it debuted this afternoon and will air Fridays at 4:00 p.m. on tvN Asia. In Indonesia and Malaysia, it will premiere tomorrow, October 18, and will air Saturdays at 10:05 p.m. on tvN Asia.
Set against Hong Kong’s stunning skyline and vibrant streets, “Love on the Clock” follows six daters — three men and three women — as they take on missions that test their compatibility, confidence, and chemistry.
The women, who bring charm and confidence, are:
- Pupa Dadivas, a singer-songwriter and visual artist;
- Victoria Fabella, a painter and creative soul; and
- Dani Buenvenida, self-proclaimed “Landi Tip Queen,” ready to put her dating strategies to the test.
Meanwhile, here are the men who bring charisma and a little mischief:
- Jomari Angeles, actor-turned-content creator known for his dating-themed videos;
- Ron Angeles, actor seen in “Uninvited” and “Mallari”; and
- Polo Laurel, commercial model and former “Bidaman” on It’s Showtime.
Throughout the show, the six singles live together in Social House by Weave Living, a stylish co-living space where friendships deepen and sparks fly. Guided by the hosts, they complete missions across Hong Kong’s must-see destinations — from romantic “Love Locks” at The Peak to treasure-hunt photo challenges at Central Market.
They also experience water sports at Go Park Aqua, play indoor games at Joypolis Sports Hong Kong, and go roller skating at Buns 2020. With Victoria Harbour, Aqua Luna, and Hutong restaurant as backdrops, the city sets the perfect stage for heart-stirring moments and picture-perfect memories.
Love, laughter, and lessons along the way
While the contestants race to earn “Love Points,” hosts Juancho and Dawn act as both cupids and counselors — offering dating insights and heartfelt advice. Every challenge comes with a ticking clock, but also with the promise of discovering something — or someone — new.
“‘Love on the Clock’ captures the excitement of discovering both a new destination and a new connection,” said Michael Jung, managing director of CJ ENM Hong Kong.
“Through this series, we hope to inspire audiences to see Hong Kong not just as a travel destination, but as a city where love and adventure come alive,” he added.
