Variety/Reality Shows :)
My complete variety watchlist.
-
1. Running Man
Korean TV Show - 2010, 740 episodes
My first proper dive into korean variety shows. I absolutely ADORE running man, including the recent years. The show has changed a lot since the beginning, and the early episodes will always have a place in my heart. I do miss the nametag elimination races tho fr fr. I have a running man mug. I miss the orange thumbnail.

2. The Great Escape
Korean TV Show - 2018, 13 episodes
I love watching people suffer. Love the entire cast and their dynamics. Love the production. Good shit. Some people get annoyed at the members, but I just find it amusing. You're laughing at them not with them, y'know?

7. Girls' Highschool Mystery Class
Korean TV Show - 2021, 16 episodes
Ahh the great escape extended universe continues. I really love the cast. Since it’s an overarching story over the whole season rather than contained to 2 episodes, I was much more anxious about whether they succeeded or not. Very fun.

Chinese TV Show - 2021, 10 episodes
I got 7 eps into produce camp 101, with each episode being ridiculously long until I kinda just stopped watching nd decided to drop it. This was the best thing to come from that show. I just love lighthearted fun games ig

Never in my life have I felt so small and weak. These men are INSANELY fit. RIDICULOUSLY fit. Good watch, though I did put it on in the background for most of the episodes.
-
27. Wise Camping Life
Korean TV Show - 2021, 6 episodes
This was absolutely hilarious, 90% of the hilarity coming from Jung Kyung Ho.

Korean TV Show - 2021, 9 episodes
I love this cast sm I miss them already.
-
29. The Zone: You Have to Endure to Live
Korean TV Show - 2022, 8 episodes
I wish it was more objective based rather than just "hold out" but then again I just want everything I watch to be like Running Man soo yea. Pretty good tho.

Korean TV Show - 2023, 8 episodes

Good show, slower paced. Park Ji Yoon <3

32. Run for the Money
Japanese TV Show - 2022, 4 episodes
This was fun. Did I like it because it reminded me of early Running Man? Perhaps.
-
33. We're Family

This was fine. I only really liked the brothers household, the couple one made me cringe a bit.
-
34. Korea No. 1
Korean TV Show - 2022, 8 episodes
The cast I never knew I needed. Kwang Soo is never not funny, worth watching just for him
-
35. The Silence Of IDOL
Korean TV Show - 2020, 26 episodes
Cute.
-
36. Physical: 100
Korean TV Show - 2023, 9 episodes
Stronk. I wish Kim Chun Ri lasted longer she’s so funny (and strong).
-
37. We Play
Korean TV Show - 2019, 12 episodes
01/06/23 | This felt kinda low budget and somehow forced? Like it felt like they were pretending to have a good time but I’m probably talking out my ass lmao. It got some laughs from me though.
-
38. Secret Variety Training
Korean TV Show - 2017, 1 episode
13/06/23 | This was a good pilot, shame it didn't get picked up. Lots of second hand embarrassment tho..
-
39. An Untitled PD Na Young Seok Project
Korean TV Show - 2022, 12 episodes
15/07/23 | The concept wasn't that strong, I wish they'd lean more into it. Like the whole thing is going after this rabbit but they only really chase him twice. I don't mind that much though because the casting was PERFECT.
-
40. Zombieverse
Korean TV Show - 2023, 8 episodes
17/08/23 | Anything with Lee Si Young yes please. This was funny.
-
41. Zombieverse Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2024, 7 episodes
20/11/24 | A step down from S1, but it had its moments. Also they really tried to gloss over the blowjob zombies in ep 3 but my god it didn’t work.
-
42. Bro Marble
Korean TV Show - 2023, 8 episodes
31/08/23 | The casting for this is amazing. I was secretly hoping the Ji Bros would win they felt like the underdogs hehe
-
43. Great Escape
Chinese TV Show - 2019, 13 episodes
01/09/23 | Took a little adjusting to Chinese editing styles but this is good. Basically just an exact copy of TGE but slightly less endearing.
-
44. Great Escape: Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 13 episodes
15/10/23 | ^
-
45. I-Land
Korean TV Show - 2020, 12 episodes
03/01/24 | Tbh I put this on 2x and didn't watch at all from like ep 3 lol. Not my kinda show it turns out.. I just feel too bad for them and get second hand embarrassment.
-
46. Chuang 2021
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 10 episodes
04/01/23 | This took me ages to finish but I really did enjoy this its just so looong. This is definitely the only idol competition show I’ll love. No evil edits, wholesome contestants, quiet moments, fun games and actually mentoring them?? Yes thank you.
-
47. Too Mystery: Zombie War
Korean TV Show - 2020, 9 episodes
I should write my thoughts immediately after watching something otherwise I run into situations such as this (I don’t remember anything about this (wait no I remember a bit it was kinda fun)).

Korean TV Show - 2024, 6 episodes
