Min La Min gives the opportunity to a young man to meet with an unmarried girl looking for the man of her dreams in an episode during which the jury asks a series of questions to each participant before each individual chooses a partner.
In each episode, there will be three young men and three young girls, young men come first in a car and head to one of the rooms of the hotel, then comes the car of the girls who in turn will go to another room. The room is equipped with cameras to monitor the reactions of the participants.
Shortly afterwards, the participants begin to appear in succession before the panel of four celebrities, Ms. Hunaidi Dannawi, actress Nagham Abou-Chedid, Dr. Nabil Khoury, and actor Yousef Haddad.
The jury begins to ask questions in succession to each participant. Once the questions are completed, the participant goes to an isolated room to prevent any communication with the rest of the participants, and therefore any circulation of the questions that were asked.
At the end of this stage, the presenter of the program hands the young girls a CD to which are recorded the responses of young men and to young men a CD to which are recorded the responses of the young women.
After listening to the answers, each young man choses the girl that he believes closest to his personality, and every girl choses the man she thinks the best, and thus the main factor for the choice of each participant would be the answers and personality, knowing that the participants were unable to see each others before.
If a young man chooses a young girl who also wants to meet him more closely, a first meeting will be organized and the program team will be informed after four months whether they broke up or began a serious relationship. So at the end of each episode, one, two or three couples may be born, or, in cases of discrepancy between the choices of participants, the episode will end without the birth of any couple.
The role of the jury is based on the preparation of questions to participants so as to highlight their personalities and aspects that are not visible. Noting that these issues can be drawn from forms already completed by participants and their responses to questions that were filled. The jury will be informed about these responses during the preparation of the episode before the shooting.
