    85. The Hero

    Chinese TV Show - 2021, 10 episodes

    done 2024-08; skimmed through ep1, and time jumped through other episodes, only watching games or interesting bits; for the most part didn't find the show itself all that enjoyable, however, the VIP episodes (listed as The Big Winner Behind the Scenes on MDL) had super fun content at the first half of each episode.

    100. Shi Tian Zhi Hou Hui Dao Xian Shi

    Chinese TV Show - 2024, 20 episodes

    completed 2024-10; well made show with some great puzzles and challenges, although it's one of those shows that you need to be in the right mood to watch (not a casual show that you can just pick up and watch whenever) - you really need to pay attention to some of these activities to get what's going on, 9/10
