Favourite Korean Variety Shows
-
1. Master Key
Korean TV Show - 2017, 13 episodes
This is a good show for K-Pop stans (especially multi-stans) since you can see a bunch of your faves from all different groups just interact with each other and play games, having fun which is rare to see since they're usually doing their best to avoid one another in other events in fear of being caught in a controversy. It was a really funny and enjoyable show and I wished they had this running longer. It also made me really get into Wanna One and Kang Daniel too especially since I was watching him on other variety shows as well

2. The Return of Superman
Korean TV Show - 2013, 560 episodes
I love watching the kids on this show, they're super cute and I love seeing them grow and learn to walk and talk
-
3. Knowing Bros
Korean TV Show - 2015, 460 episodes
I love this show. Super funny and there are some gems with the show. I only watch certain eps of people I know or if the ep looks funny/entertaining. I love Lee Soo Geun, he never fails to make me laugh

4. It's Dangerous Beyond the Blankets: Pilot
Korean TV Show - 2017, 4 episodes
The show that got me into Kang Daniel tbh
-
5. It’s Dangerous Beyond the Blankets
Korean TV Show - 2018, 10 episodes
This is just a chill show, watching idols and celebs just relax and have time away from work to just chill with each other. It was just a nice wholesome, healing show

6. Real Class - Elementary School
Korean TV Show - 2017, 2 episodes
The show that got me to forever bias Ten because he's a cutie. It also got me to bias Momo but I don't really think I have a bias in TWICE anymore. I liked the concept of the show, teaching foreign K-Pop idols korean or helping them improve and testing their level of korean was interesting to see and you get to learn a bit too

7. Don’t Be Jealous
Korean TV Show - 2020, 17 episodes
I love that Korea has made this now since it allows couples to be more open and be public rather than seeing it as a controversy. It's refreshing and the couples are cute
-
8. Hit the Stage
Korean TV Show - 2016, 10 episodes
I've only seen clips of this of peoples performances (mostly TEN but I've seen others too). I'm still planning to watch this show fully but I love the performances that have come from this show
-
10. Master in the House
Korean TV Show - 2017, 238 episodes
This is a recent one that I just started watching, I've always known of this show because of Sung Jae and I remember watching the 1st ep when it started but it was just meh. but after watching a couple episodes now, I can see why it's still running now. It is a good show, kinda wished I stuck with it in the beginning

11. New Journey to the West Season 4
Korean TV Show - 2017, 11 episodes
I started this for Min Ho and left loving Lee Soo Geun and Ahn Jae Hyun more. I love seeing their confused faces when they don't know what the answer is
-
12. New Journey to the West Season 5

15. Queendom
Korean TV Show - 2019, 10 episodes
Same with Hit the Stage, I've only seen clips of the performances of this show but never the full episodes. I fricking love G-idles stages and Mamamoo, they're still my top 2 fave girl groups right now and I loved seeing them be able to showcase more of themselves and their potential

18. We Got Married Season 4
Korean TV Show - 2012, 240 episodes
I didn't watch this show religiously I watched it by couples.
The couples I watched were:
- Taejoon and Bomi (I loved but towards the end, I could tell it was just for the show like I know it's not real but it was more obvious in the end and it was later revealed that Taejoon was confirmed to be in a relationship with someone else)
- Sungjae and Joy (didn't finish it yet)
- Eric Nam and Solar (finished and loved)
- Jota and Jinkyung (I love Jota, he's so adorable, they were a cute couple)
- Sleepy and Gukjoo (didn't finish but they were cute)
- Taemin and Nauen (didn't finish and I don't get why the fans are still mad about this pair)

19. I Live Alone
Korean TV Show - 2013, 580 episodes

20. Somebody
Korean TV Show - 2018, 10 episodes
