I are likely to not like American actuality television however for some purpose Asian actuality television works for me. One purpose why I like Asian Actuality television is as a result of generally you might be simply too drained to assume and want one thing senseless to look at.

Each episode is a brand new topic or folks or a brand new place. Second purpose, I like meals and meals reveals.

I NEED TO WATCH MORE VARIETY/REALITY TV SHOWS – there are such a lot of I nonetheless have not watched that I need to see.
ALRIGHT – LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW ASIAN VARIETY/REALITY TV SHOWS THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED AND LOVED IN THE LAST 4 YEARS!
The place to Watch: NETFLIX (not each season has all their episodes on Netflix so, you’ll have to verify however many do…relying on the season)
I’ve not watched each single episode of Terrace home. There are a number of seasons and plenty of episodes. The episodes I’ve seen – I’ve LOVED! That is one other theme of a spread/actuality present I like. You place a bunch of individuals in a home, and they’re simply dwell collectively. Typically they turn out to be associates. Different instances they could begin relationship. This present is nearly a gaggle of strangers who dwell beneath one roof for a time frame, and also you see what occurs to them and their lives. You’ll be able to’t assist however turn out to be invested in these folks’s lives as they turn out to be associates, discover love or simply dwell by means of the ups and downs of life collectively. It’s heartwarming to look at. I actually need to look at extra of this present as a result of I’ve beloved the episodes I’ve seen. It’s consolation look ahead to me FOR SURE!
A spotlight for me in 2024. I imply I even wrote a overview of this present which you’ll learn above. I additionally did a number of podcast episodes on this present on my podcast. This was a Japanese relationship actuality present that took the world by storm when it aired this 12 months. The idea is a group of 9 males dwell collectively in a home over the course of a month. They run a espresso truck collectively and get to know one another. They’re hoping for a romantic connection and to get a boyfriend by the top of the present. I grew to become SO INVESTED within the 9 males and who they could find yourself with or that they only turn out to be associates by the top. This jogged my memory of the present Coronary heart Sign which I talked about in one in every of my different blogposts linked above. I like Asian relationship reveals and this one I adored as effectively. You probably have not watched this present on Netflix but – PLEASE DO! I hope we get a season 2 of this present – I believe we’ll as a result of it was fairly standard when it aired.
The place to Watch: VIKI (Not each episode is there as a result of this has over 500 episodes)
A present offers you glimpse into celeb’s lives. This present follows round celebrities and provides glimpses into the each day lives of those celebrities with no vital filtering. All of their visitors dwell alone – therefore the identify. You will have a panel of celebrities who touch upon what we’re watching in addition to ask inquiries to that week’s visitor and their life. Many of the panel have been on the present for a really very long time and supply a lot of comedy to the present. I like this present since you get to see what these celebrities do each day like what they eat for breakfast. It makes them extra relatable like if the celeb is a homebody or one thing. I’ve not watched each single episode of this present. I hop round and simply watch episodes of celebrities I’m occupied with or interested by, however I’ve watched many episodes of this present by now.
The place to Watch: VIKI/AMAZON PRIME (Not each episode is there as a result of this has over 300 episodes)
This present was an surprising delight for me. One other present that provides you a glimpse into a star’s life. The idea of this present was the viewers follows across the managers of celebrities. So, you get a glimpse into that celeb’s life but in addition you get to see what a supervisor does of their job. They interview the celeb and the supervisor which is attention-grabbing. You be taught that managers of celebrities who’ve been with them for years, actually have a detailed relationship with the celeb. I’ve not watched each single episode of this present. I additionally hop round and simply watch episodes of celebrities I’m occupied with or interested by, however I’ve watched many episodes of this present by now. You even have a panel of people that touch upon the present and what we’re seeing in addition to asking inquiries to the celeb and their supervisor within the episode. It gives some entertaining comedy and commentary to the episode.
MY CURRENT OBSESSION IS THIS SHOW! I simply completed this again in October and did a overview on it which you’ll view right here. The idea for this present is you get 80 underdog cooks collectively to problem the twenty celeb cooks and see who wins. It was cutthroat and intense but in addition had some nice healthful moments. The underdog cooks have been well-known in their very own area or neighborhood, they usually went up in opposition to these celeb cooks who everybody is aware of. You’ll be able to assist, effectively I could not assist, root for the underdog cooks. I beloved watching the concepts that these cooks got here up with for his or her recipes and the way they used their backgrounds to make the dishes. It’s all the time fascinating to me to see what cooks do to provide you with distinctive dishes. When you like reveals like Iron Chef or Chopped, it is best to give this present a attempt. It positively might be one in every of my high reveals of 2024. You’ll be able to inform that Netflix invested some huge cash into this present. This present was #1 on Netflix for a number of weeks in a row. I’m so glad that is getting a season 2. You probably have not watched this present but on Netflix – PLEASE DO! ESPECIALLY if you happen to like cooking reveals/cooking competitors reveals.
The place to Watch: UNKNOWN (was on VIKI and NETFLIX however not anymore within the USA)
This present is definitely getting a revival because of the success of Culinary Class wars. I believe it led to 2019 or so. The idea of this present was 2 celebrities would convey their fridges to the studio. They’d discuss their fridges and what was in it. Then, two cooks or celebrities that have been identified to prepare dinner very effectively can be given quarter-hour or so to take issues out of the 2 fridges and make a dish. They may solely use the substances within the fridges and wouldn’t know which fridge belonged to whom till after. The judges and visitor celebrities would attempt the dishes after which select a winner. The present would additionally educate viewers about recipes and ideas for meals storage all whereas getting a glimpse into the celebrities’ lives by means of their fridges. I loved this present as a result of it was enjoyable seeing what was within the fridges. It was enjoyable seeing what the cooks would include. There have been additionally comedians and humorous hosts to crack jokes and issues throughout the present. China really did a protracted operating model of this present, and I believe that led to 2021 or so.
As I stated earlier, I like a present that takes a gaggle of individuals and sticks them in a home someplace they usually simply hang around collectively and have enjoyable. On this case, the present put a gaggle of actors who all labored collectively on totally different dramas collectively in a home they usually frolicked and performed video games collectively. The totally different casts competed in opposition to one another. You get the chance to get to know the actors extra and their personalities. You get enjoyable interactions between them. You watch them play video games and be aggressive. You get moments of comedy but in addition simply healthful moments of them speaking. It’s simply an surprising delight.
