What Do Men Want is an entertaining and insightful web series from BananaMana Films that explores the complicated world of dating through the eyes of two male friends, played by Jason Chan and Christian Lee. The show is divided into 8 episodes, each of which explores a different aspect of modern dating, from online profiles and first dates to cheating and breakups.

The series follows the lives of two best friends, Barry and David, as they navigate the unpredictable world of dating in their 30s. Barry is a successful career-driven man who finds it difficult to balance his work life with his personal life. He's had his fair share of failed relationships and is struggling to find the one. David, on the other hand, is a laid-back guy who is content to take life as it comes. He enjoys casual dating and isn't looking for anything serious. Together, the two provide a balanced perspective on the challenges faced by modern men in the dating game.

What makes What Do Men Want unique is its focus on the male perspective. While there are countless shows and movies about women navigating the dating world, there are very few that explore what men go through. Through the conversations and experiences of Barry and David, we get a glimpse into the minds of men as they navigate the often confusing and frustrating world of dating.

The show has a light-hearted tone and is peppered with humor and witty banter. The chemistry between Chan and Lee is evident from the first episode and they play off each other's strengths and weaknesses perfectly. The writing is sharp and insightful, and the episodes are filled with relatable scenarios that every person who has ever been on a date will recognize.

The series is shot and produced by BananaMana Films, a Singapore-based media company with a focus on creating high-quality content for the digital age. The company is known for its innovative approach to storytelling and its commitment to diverse and inclusive casting. What Do Men Want is no exception, with an international cast that includes actors from Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, and the United States.

One of the standout features of the show is its attention to detail. From the stylish sets to the perfectly curated wardrobe choices, every aspect of the production is top-notch. The show makes excellent use of its location, with scenes shot in some of Singapore's most iconic and picturesque spots.

What Do Men Want is not just a show about dating; it's a show about friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of modern life. Through the ups and downs of dating, we see the bond between Barry and David grow stronger, and we're reminded of the importance of having someone to confide in and share life's experiences with.

Overall, What Do Men Want is an entertaining and insightful series that will resonate with anyone who has ever been on a date or struggled to find love. It's a refreshing take on the dating genre, and it offers a much-needed glimpse into the male perspective. With its witty writing, relatable scenarios, and appealing cast, it's no wonder that the show has amassed a dedicated following and has been praised by critics both in Singapore and abroad. Whether you're single or in a relationship, this show is definitely worth a watch.
