Best TOP 50 Boards
SBS's 'Island Bachelor Hero' proved its potential as a 'popular entertainment show' in just two episodes.
"Island Bachelor Hero" entered the Netflix Korean Series Top 5 list from its premiere, and continues to generate buzz, remaining in the Top 5 for two consecutive weeks. At the same time, it also ranked first among Tuesday variety shows in viewership ratings for two consecutive weeks, according to SBS. The 2049 viewership rating is also showing a steady upward trend.
"Island Bachelor Hero" is a variety show that depicts the "unplanned island village life" of Lim Young-woong and his close friends. The second episode, which aired on the 2nd, marked the beginning of their island life in earnest. As night fell, bugs swarmed the house, startling Gwak and Lee Yi-kyung, who screamed and panicked, eliciting laughter. Lim Young-woong calmly caught the bugs and dominated the atmosphere with a factual statement, "These two are the ones who are abnormal in my life."
The next day, the members went fishing for the first time in their lives to find food, and Lim Young-woong boasted a "two-for-one" success, catching rockfish in two successive bites. Lim Young-woong expressed his confidence, saying, "I think I can survive even if I'm stranded," demonstrating his transformation into an "all-rounder island bachelor."
Meanwhile, the third episode, airing on the 9th, will depict the island bachelors facing a crisis due to unexpected heavy rain. The tension builds as the island bachelors face the threat of filming being canceled. The teaser also adds to the curiosity with the appearance of another "island friend" who has braved the storm to visit the island village. Who will be this surprise guest to the trio of best friends, and what unique story will unfold with the addition of this new member?
As expected, the viewer ratings are amazing.
