Must-Watch Variety Shows
Variety Shows, being light and entertaining, are great companions during the pandemic. Many provide instant relief to otherwise stressful, eccentric yet mundane daily lives. Yet Variety Shows have been much under the radar in MDL, as discussions mostly revolve around drama, and naturally so since this is the MyDramaList.
In this list, let's spotlight our Must-Watch Variety Shows, other than Running Man*, that are not only our favourites but we also highly recommend for others to check out.
Each user can recommend up to 3 Variety Shows.
*Why other than Running Man, you might ask? Primarily because it is such a long running show already (since 2010) and which many would have known about and watch it.
