currently watching

ep1 - the performance towards the end with Winwin and Zhou Yiran was hilarious; ep2 - had great Winwin and ZYR moments (pawning off his smile was like a whole show in itself)

currently "watching" (actually skimming); show doesn't seem good at all, very cringe and awkward, humor feels extremely forced, not that funny or entertaining, not well polished/produced, only watch if your favorite stars are on a particular episode otherwise I don't recommend this at all

watching from ep5 onwards (Lars first appears); skimmed ep5-7 - the non-performance parts were boring, the performances were meh (don't like the song choices); no Lars in ep8 - OMG this episode and the performances were SO boring

no performances in ep10!?!?!?! - they basically just did outdoor stuff, where's the "melody" part????

This show seems like Youku's answer to "No.17 Live House" - the structure of each episode is extremely similar and both shows give off the same vibe.

Only watching the beginning parts (the games they play to release the hunters) because those are entertaining.  Once they all scatter, I just skim through.

plan to watch when it airs; releasing June 9.  Lin Yi.

releasing June 14; will check it out when it airs  (TNT is supposedly in an episode, Lin Yi is in another, so will definitely watch those at least)

plan to watch when it airs (rumored for mid/late-June 2025)

Just for my own benefit, filming took place from May20 (arrival at airport) to June 9 (closing ceremony).

plan to watch when it airs (rumored for mid/late-June 2025)

plan to watch when it airs, but Mango did not list this show as one that they plan to release in 2025 (i.e., most likely this show won't happen)
