Top Japanese Reality Shows on Netflix

Midnight Diner

"Midnight Diner" is highly recommended and praised for its storytelling and character development. While not a reality show in the traditional sense, it offers a slice-of-life experience that captures the essence of Tokyo nightlife through the interactions of its patrons at a late-night diner [5:1].

Terrace House

Though not explicitly mentioned in the discussions, "Terrace House" is one of the most well-known Japanese reality shows available on Netflix. It provides an intimate look into the lives of six strangers living together under one roof, focusing on their interactions and personal growth.

Japanese Variety Shows

While not all are available on Netflix, Japanese variety shows like "Ningen Kansatsu Monitoring" and "Tetsuko no Heya" provide a unique blend of humor and cultural insights. These shows often feature celebrity guests and explore various social experiments or interviews [4:1].

Documentary-Style Shows

For those interested in documentary-style content, NHK's "72 Hours" and TV Tokyo's "You wa Nani Shi ni Nippon e?" offer fascinating glimpses into different aspects of Japanese life and culture. These programs are more focused on real-life stories and experiences [4:4].

Other Recommendations

While not strictly reality shows, several J-dramas like "First Love," "Why Didn't I Tell You A Million Times," and "Full-Time Wife Escapist" have been recommended for their engaging narratives and cultural portrayal. They provide a mix of romance and drama that can appeal to fans of reality-based storytelling [3:2].

ORIGINAL POST

I am loving Beach boys on Netflix! Such a chill show ! Am on episode 8 and sad that there is 4 episodes left. I have tried multiple popular kdramas and for some reason I can't stand them like jdrama.

I have been to japan 3 times over last 2 years and it's one of few countries that feels a window stepping into past and into future. This show has tons of heart and feels like perfect window into remembering what it feels like to be a kid again, silly, happy and curious to all things around. Almost 30 years late, but thank you Beach boys!

What other jdramas do you recommend?

Recs for a new viewer!

Posted by sushicoffeeandbooks · in r/JDorama · 2 months ago

Hello!

I’m in the UK and absolutely love K-dramas, so I’m looking for recommendations for me to help venture into J-dramas!

I’d love anything with romance, cute and/or steamy!

I have access to Netflix, Viki, Prime and Disney+.

Please throw some recommendations to start on my J-drama journey.

Thanks!

Posted by Driz_12 · in r/koreanvariety · 1 year ago

Netflix announced today the lineup of Korean Reality/Variety shows coming in 2024! Please note that these are 'Netflix Original' shows, so additional shows from other sources may also be added to the platform.

Q1 2024

Risqué Business is a talk show featuring Shin Dong-youp and Sung Si-kyung, where the two meet people from the unexplored world of adult entertainment.

It made the Top 10 list in 82 countries, accumulating 192.63 million viewing hours in six weeks. In 2024, this global hit series returns and ups the game for an even more thrilling Season 2. A new group of 100 contestants declares war against one another in meticulously planned, large-scale challenges, relentlessly pushing heir physical limits to become the last person standing

Q2 2024

Six agents — Lee Yong-jin, John Park, Lee Eun-ji, Hye-ri, Kim Do-hoon, and Karina — probe into bizarre incidents that cannot be explained by science in this unscripted adventure mystery series. Producer Jeong Jong-yeon, who has captivated worldwide audiences with the strategic survival game reality series The Devil's Plan, joins forces with Netflix for the second time.

A Singaporean chaebol billionaire, an heir to an Italian luxury brand, a Pakistani noble family member, the Kim Kardashian of the Arab world with 50 million followers and a Paris Hilton-esque shopaholic—they all have the means to live anywhere in the world, but they love Korea and chose to call it home. Enter the world of these super rich expats in the top 1 percent of society. What do they do in Korea? What do they wear and eat? The reality series Super Rich in Korea peeks into the extravagant lives of the extremely wealthy in Korea

Q3 2024

The Influencer

The Influencer is an unscripted social survival series where South Korean influencers compete with one another to determine who has the most influence over social media, a realm where one’s reach equals power and status. On platforms where attention is currency, these influencers who have captivated the masses will enter a survival of the fittest to find the one true content creator who generates the biggest buzz — by any means necessary. A fierce competition is about to ensue in this unique world where followers and subscribers define power and status, and anticipation is gathering for how producer Lee Jae-seok — whose works include My Little Television, one of the first unscripted influencer survival shows, and Change Days, a delicate study on real-life couples on the brink of break-up — will work his magic. Additionally, Son Su-jeong, the producer of GIRL'S RE:VERSE, is set to collaborate in crafting this never-before-seen social survival genre experience. From top influencers with a high public profile to delightfully unique cast members boasting a solid fanbase and fresh faces armed with eccentric personas, these participants will have to flex their influence in a variety of missions to survive, and viewers can eagerly anticipate what they'll bring to the table

Q4 2024

Unknown Chefs (Working Title)

This unscripted competition series pits people from all walks of life against one another in a fierce culinary showdown. The question, “Who is the best cook in South Korea?” birthed a project that brings together people known for their culinary prowess, regardless of their age, experience or choice of cuisine. From restaurant chefs to amateur hobbyists who reign supreme in home-cooked meals, this show will capture unprecedented fierce competition among those with a knack for “flavor.” Created by Yoon Hyeon-jun (Crime Scene, Two Yoo Project Sugar Man, Sing Again), the star duo Kim Hak-min and Kim Eun-ji (Sing Again), and writer Mo Eun-seol (The Gentlemen's League, Problem Child in House), Unknown Chefs brings excitement to the dining table with its gripping and suspenseful competitions.

Chief producer Park Jin-kyung of Kakao Entertainment (My Little Television, March of the Ants, Dunia - Into a New World) and producer Moon Sang-don (Hey! First Time in KOREA?, The Night Walking Through the Night) team up once more to fill the world with laughter and awe. New cast members are set to join Season 2 where the quests are as colorful and creative as ever, and it has been reported that the zombies themselves will receive an upgrade in stats, making it harder for the cast to survive the Zombieverse universe. Fans around the world are tuning in to the news of a bigger and badder Season 2, excited at the return of a show that coined a new genre of “K-zombie entertainment.”

Looking for japanese reality shows

Posted by pinkusocks · in r/televisionsuggestions · 3 years ago

I've previously watched love wagon, rea(l)ove and terrace house, I was wondering about similar shows! preferably also from Japan, as I'm trying to learn the language and need actual conversation examples (I really enjoyed the TH Hawaii season cause they spoke japanglish, if any other show mixes japanese+English or Spanish it would be GREAT) 😊🌸

Could anyone recommend their favourite Korean and Japanese shows?

Posted by OmegonAlphariusXX · in r/netflix · 3 years ago

I’m learning Japanese and Korean, and watching different shows has actually helped the process along considerably, but I want to watch actually good shows whilst I’m doing it!

I’ve watched [All of us are Dead] and I’m watching [Alice in Borderland] at the moment.

Thanks for the help!

Edit: no anime please, I like anime a lot and have pretty much already watched all the good ones on Netflix, I want to get into live-action more :)

[REQUEST] What are some of the best Japanese shows and movies that aren't anime/thriller?

Posted by Newt0516 · in r/NetflixBestOf · 3 years ago

I'm looking for a good Japanese show or movie on Netflix, but not an anime or a thriller/psychological one (for instance, not Alice in Borderland, Erased...)

I'm thinking more about a movie/series that focuses on romance, family relationships, friendships...

Here are some Japanese shows and movies I enjoyed watching:
-Midnight Diner
-What did you eat yerterday?
-Shoplifters
-Loved like a flower bouquet

Do you have any recommendations? Thank you :)
