If as a K-lover you’ve not been really interested in Korean reality TV shows, then you are missing a lot because the fun and excitement is second to none, I tell you! If you aren't watching reality TV shows, then I'll make like Yoo JaeSuk and ask you - How Do You Play?

Want to experience all the adrenaline rush that comes with watching reality TV shows? Here are 5 top South Korean Reality and variety shows you should definitely watch.

_Busted

Busted is a mystery-unraveling reality show.

Different people are brought in and they play the role of detectives investigating different cases and ranges of crimes, especially murder. The show hosts different actors, and aired for 3 seasons.

If you love solving mysteries, then this series is what you need.

_{Siren: Survive The Island}

Siren: Survive The Island is a competition series that aired on Netflix in 2023. The series was quite popular among reality TV show lovers.

The competition brings together 24 women and divides them into six teams of four individuals based on their occupation. The participants are made to perform on a remote island; they take part in various activities, and go through elimination stages until one team emerges as the winner.

Sounds like fun, right? Watch this survival show to get all the fun.

_{Single’s Inferno}

Like the name suggests, Single’s Inferno is a show for singles.

In this show that has some of our favorite K-celebs as the host, twelve singles are left on an island with limited amenities for nine days. They are to find love, overcome different challenges, and leave the Island as soon as they can.

If this sounds like an easy task to you, wait till you watch this show and see yourself at the edge of your seat every minute.

_{The Devil’s Plan}

This definitely has one hell of an amazing title, right?

This reality TV show is a game show that brings together 12 participants who are mostly celebrities. They are given a puzzle piece at the start of the show and the whole game revolves around protecting that piece and not losing it to stay in the game.

The game also makes use of teamwork and sometimes betrayal. If the sound of these interests you already, catch it up on Netflix.

_{Physical: 100}

Physical: 100 has to be one of the most popular if not the most popular reality TV shows in Korea.

However, if you watch the television series ‘Squid Game’, then the format of this series will probably be familiar to you.

In this game, 100 participants are brought together to wrestle and play different games to eliminate all until there is a last man standing who goes with all the prizes.

If you loved the ‘Squid Games' series, then this reality show is for you! That's because I feel the anxiety we experienced in Squid Game is on par with this show's own.

These shows are so amazing and mind-blowing, and you'll love them I promise!
