Netflix’s Newest Korean Show Is Better Than Any K-Drama You’ve Ever Watched
You have a chance to peek at life behind the paywall.
Despite the tendency to dismiss people's interest in reality shows, the genre continues to thrive. As much as people love the scripted content and fantasy stories, they are even more fascinated by real people communicating without a script and showing a real emotional response to some of the events.
From Love Island to Netflix 's hit Squid Game, the shows are very different. Some ask players to solve endless puzzles, while others lure them into believing they can find love with other contestants. Anything that involves real people is a notch more exciting than any fiction could ever be.
Is Super Rich in Korea Worth Watching?
If you're a fan of K-dramas, you must have seen hundreds of super-rich characters, as a chaebol heir is a popular archetype in many love stories. While the series usually do a great job of portraying their lavish lifestyles, it is all fiction. The sets are often rented or built in the studio, and the wardrobe is part of the production.
While you may not meet any real-life heirs through Netflix's new reality show Super Rich in Korea, you will certainly learn more about the luxuries that wealthy people can afford in Korea. Through the lives of several influencers, activists and entrepreneurs from around the world, you'll find out what Korea really has to offer.
All the beauty that comes with wealth is mixed with the customs and traditions that make Korea so special in the eyes of these people. Though different, they are all united by their love for Korea and its centuries-old culture.
To paint an even brighter picture, the show will be hosted by three popular Korean personalities who you may know from their previous projects. Popular fashionista Cho Saeho, the charismatic BamBam, and trendsetter Mimi from Oh My Girl will be your guides into a world usually hidden from the eyes of the casual viewer.
If you're tired of reading and watching TV shows about rich heirs and self-made businessmen and want to dive deep into the lives of real-life personalities who flaunt their excessive lifestyles for the world to see, Super Rich in Korea is the perfect choice for you.
The show premiered on May 7th, so you can tune in and binge-watch it on Netflix today.
