This latest I Am Solo Season 23 is just sorta a regular season but it's kinda looking spicy with the tangled/mixed/etc. storylines and so forth, since a bunch of them are from SKY (top Korean universities) and like a few are also basically Single Since Birth and so on, lol.

So actually I Am Solo Season 23 is somewhat a special season for people who are late to getting married, like they're in their late 30s or so and feel the societal/familial/etc. pressure to get married.

My Kid's Private Life (Sarang & Yuto!)

Re-visiting Sarang & Yuto's decade+ friendship (and who are now 14) from Return of Superman.

You can find clips on the ENA youtube channel.

Possibly the cutest TV series I have ever seen.

Key points:

  • Yuto's lineage is 15 generations of doctors, he is frequently seen studying

  • Akiyama crying because he was so surprised by Sarang's kickboxing skills

  • Yuto & Sarang travel overseas together alone

  • Many instances in which Yuto impresses Akiyama (very athletic, responsible with money, compliments Sarang, piggybacks her when she got a blister at a theme park, teaches her football)

  • Yuto and Sarang cried when Yuto accidentally loses a sentimental football

These two are pure dopamine.

I am Korean. Unfortunately there are no English subtitles yet which is really unfair.

The softsub and hardsub versions below are AI-generated/machine translation subtitles. Hopefully there'll be a proper fansub or official subtitles in the future.

As always, feel free to use these subtitles as a base for the better/actual fan subtitles. And don't hesitate to reupload the video and subtitle files anywhere if I'm unable to update the shows, since sometimes I have other Chinese/Korean/Japanese/etc. shows episodes, seasons, and so forth to do as well.

Oh and Bilibili/Dailymotion/etc. often have decent enough (even if it's lower quality due to the compression) versions of the Korean/Chinese/etc. shows if it's hard to find elsewhere, since thankfully some other people will also reupload my (re)releases with the AI-generated subtitles on those video websites and so on. So just check Bilibili/etc. if I'm not able to update the links for the episodes/seasons/etc. at the current moment, as ya sometimes I'm busy with a lot of other shows.

Wtf, lol, Team Jungle could've contracted rabies (no cure still aside from experimental protocols/etc.) from that cave/spelunking/etc. because of the bats. Why they did have to make them go through the karst/cave/etc. system, lol.

And finally the teams actually went foraging/hunting/etc. for food again. Mukbang sessions in the jungle, lmao. I really enjoy these slice of life/etc. moments as it just gives you that anemoia/et cetera, like nostalgia for something you never experienced.

Sometimes I wish I could do these physical/etc. challenges out in the woods/forests/jungles/etc. once more, but I'm scared of like mosquitos (huge welts), ticks (Lyme Disease/etc. fear), and so on as I'm like allergic to them (smh lol).

So ya it's sorta hard because I used to be so curious or was an actual serious explorer as well and can't really experience traipsing through such environments again, unless it's through variety/reality/etc. shows like this. One day, I'll try to be that adventurous kid from Asia again, though for now I'm just chillaxing with these CJK/etc. shows at home, rofl.

How Do You Play

is it just me or is How Do You Play kind of... boring?

  • the cast members don't really have any chemistry
  • whatever chemistry they try to muster up feels so forced; most of the time they're kind of just speaking loudly (I hesitate to say they're yelling... maybe shouting?) at one another for emphasis
  • Sometimes the banter will start to get interesting but YJS will nip it at the bud for whatever reason.
  • idk but Haha seems a lot more crotchety than I remember from his days on Infinite Challenge LOL
  • the PDs don't have a solid grasp on what they want this show to be. I'm fine with them trying different concepts but if the cast members had actual chemistry with one another, that would be enough to make the show interesting, and the concepts could take a backseat.

I'll watch it from time to time if the guest is interesting but wow I miss the good ol' days of family outing & infinite challenge. :/

The softsub and hardsub versions below are AI-generated/machine translation subtitles.

As usual, these links will automatically expire after say 10 days or so (it's that website's current default policy), so definitely get them ASAP.

Centralized post about Korean/Chinese/Japanese/et cetera variety shows and how to access them (with AI-generated/machine translation info, language learning, and other stuff): https://www.reddit.com/user/MNLYYZYEG/comments/1clzy6r/asian_varietyreality_shows_language_learning/

Oh and Bilibili/Dailymotion/etc. often have decent enough (even if it's lower quality due to the compression) versions of the Korean/Chinese/etc. shows if it's hard to find elsewhere, since thankfully some other people will also reupload my (re)releases with the AI-generated subtitles on those video websites and so on. So just check Bilibili/etc. if I'm not able to update the links for the episodes/seasons/etc. at the current moment, as ya sometimes I'm busy with a lot of other shows.


Okay guys, thanks to am-i-bovvered, there's now the proper/official/etc. KBS World English subtitles (it's hardsubbed, try extracting the burned-in subtitles using OCR), and right now they're unfortunately a few episodes/weeks behind, see here for a bit more info: Episode 1 and Episode 2 and Episode 3


Uri Roman Catholic Queen, Katarina, is back! Same with Hoshi too. Anyway, Karina's about to Kill It (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izXPTHp85q8). With Flowers, of course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO7s8AzviQI

Don't forget Karina's solo, UP, it's a club banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1_0Vc-9mNw

This whole episode is literally a comedian or Gag Concert special, lol.

Project 7 or Starlight Boys?

Hi everyone! I'm an avid fan of kpop survival shows and asking on your opinions about these two new shows. I've had enough heartbreak from Boys planet and can't handle 2 more (if ever). So, what show do you guys recommend? Any pros and cons? Thanks!
