Best Inclusive Show Among Every Tiresome Dating Series

Never thought homosexuals behind closed and open doors and scorned by society, are pining each other would make me jump for joy and shatter my heart in sadness. Participants within the show were amiable at best (Seon-yul being my personal favorite of the Men with his professionalism on dealing with others, his confidence, selflessness, and being respectful.) and they displayed genuine reactions of each other's feelings and confession including slight jealousy. It's as if they are being themselves rather than putting on a forced cringe-inducing drama being told by the staff. (Not to say there were a few nitpicks...)

One of few justified issues I have is the short time duration and they could have added at least 2 episodes. Despite I love "His Men" and kept rewatching it, couldn't help but having mixed emotions at the last couple of episodes. Not perfect that could easily sway me, but good enough for me to relive back on the best moments seen on-cam.

Note to everyone: "If any of you are deeply rooted for any pairing established here and other pair-up shows aired as of today, hold those in as you may get into a week of depression like me." (The ship of my heart HyeokSeon|Hyeok-jun x Seon-yul having the best slow-burn companionate love got tragically sunk at the end...??)

Mission Failed Behind Production

This intrigued me after "Backpacker Chef". Conquering two countries where Korean cuisine has yet been fully recognized may be harder than a catering service. But not for Paik Jongwon. (EXCEPT IT'S A LIE but we'll get there right ahead.)

I may note down my positives later on...so let us get through the negatives.

Since I have gotten spoiled to the travelling cooking show format in Backpacker Chef, seeing the same restaurant could get old.

My major criticism is the production crew's lack of research and preparation. And it sterns down on these statements I have.

Previously I misjudged Morocco for their sudden rudeness of closing it down with its statement being too r**ist, but now I know why: they're too afraid to try different cuisines without getting their safety halal policy beliefs in Muslim.

It does not stop there...

When they first open Baekbanjip at Italy on Monday, almost no one came by until several minutes later. Though believe me, it gets worse on Sunday....

Production crew behind the show should have done full research of the country before preparing a business or travel. They probably kind of ruined Paik Jongwon's name afterwards...

Do watch this one if you want, but not for long....

Too Many Cooks in The Scene To Care (LITERALLY)

As an individual who enjoyed The Backpacker Chef, I expect to be just as good as S1.

For the pros:

- Cooking process has improved with the "Bacpacker-car and stratagems such as leaving the other members for preparation.
- Female guests were introduced to help out the catering crew.

For the cons:

- Chemistry with the new members seems underwhelming. No playful brotherhood at all. (Bohyun rarely bonds with Soogeun and Kyeong-hwan.)
- TOO MANY BULK COOKING
- Daewhan's absence highlights one of the show's flaws: its charm.
- The tone went watered down to be bland and unmemorable.
- Controversial request from Jincheon jeopardized the show's integrity.

Nitpicks:

- Kyeong-hwan the underdog frustrates me, as there were times I have slight animosity with him. (Probably I dislike his guts though.) A lot of you guys were annoyed by DinDin's complaints, but I am one who appreciate him.

- Paik Jong Won's nagging behavior comes off as a nuisance over the course of this season including The Genuis Paik; which has given me second thoughts of whether I switch teams with Yeon Beok, Sam Kim, or even Cha Seung Won. (His childish two-faced comments towards DinDin in recent episode were both disheartening and made me scream, "ACT YOUR AGE, DANG IT! YOU ARE ON TV!")

Sadly, this becomes a rant of how I become ambivalent towards South Korea's cooking magician and why I couldn't wholeheartedly enjoy Season 2.

TVING Disappoints Me Further....

EXchange is more of a champion towards soap operas...For how they were cringe-inducing, emotionally manipulative, and promotes a bad message to ex-lovers. That's not all, it was tiresome for 1-3 hours of running time watching a social experiment on whether former couples could make up while slitting each other's throats (unless they were scripted) and dirtying up the place. I pity those who participate in this infernal dumpster fire.

Moving on mentally and breaking free from the chains of your guilt is your gateway to restarting your love life with the help of your loved ones. It won't be easy unless they could have assigned a couple's psychologist from the start. I Highly NOT RECOMMENDED for anyone unless if you're wasted. Next time, they should NOT greenlit another season. But if they do more of these, I will lose my respect to tvN and TVING altogether.???
