The 2017 revision is the second version of the show and was launched on May 13, 2017 with a different format from the original version that launched in 2010.^[3][4] If You Are The One currently airs on Saturday nights at 9:10pm.

Gameplay

The single man divide twenty-four women into two groups of twelve, the "heartthrob" group and the observation group, before any conversation between the women and the single man has taken place. The women are not able to see the man while he is dividing the women into two groups. The host and the single man then start to talk to the women behind the screen after the process of dividing the women into two groups has taken place, followed by playing his first video^[1]

Before 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] At any point after dividing the women into two groups, the single man chooses his favorite two girls initially known to himself and the host, who are then revealed shortly after and then asked to proceed to the gold podiums for the duration of the round until replaced or after the final outcome of the round.^[5]

The single man uses two video clips to reveal some personal information such as occupation, interests and love history. During each video clip, each of the women, whether if in the heartthrob or observation group decides whether or not he is still "date-worthy" in her opinion by keeping her light on or off for those in the heartthrob group, or adjusting their thermometers if in the observation group. The contestants, psychologists and host frequently exchange banter with each other when video clips aren't being shown.^[1]

If a girl in the heartthrob 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]

If, after all the videos have been played, if there are more than two girls from the heartthrob group still with lights on, the man can elect to either keep the initial selected girls on the gold podiums as finalists or choose one or two of the girls from the heartthrob section that still have their lights on to replace the initial favorite girls on the gold podiums as finalists.^[5][6] 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.

If the single man had chosen to swap one or both finalists out for one of the girls that had kept their light on in the heartthrob section during the round and decides to choose her 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 of the lights in the heartthrob group are 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.^[7]
