snowynightThanks to unavee's excellent primer, I have started watching Going Seventeen, a variety game show web series by the kpop group Seventeen.
It's very lighthearted fun to watch. The members seem to enjoy working in team and hanging out together. The show isn't cruel. The games and activities are varied. The episodes are largely self contained, so you can jump in any point and any order. English subtitle is available.
Episodes I have watched:
Don't Lie series I (Pt 1): a mashup of werewolf game and treasure hunt. They clearly have fun to be as chaotic as possible.
Mouse Busters: (starts from #1)The busters have to catch all the four members who play mouse, which each can use his special skill thrice to escape. There are a lot of running because the hiding ground is large. It feels very exciting with the cat and mouse pursuit.

I'm glad you enjoyed the first Don't Lie. They are really chaotic.
The Mouse Busters episode is so fun! The chases were exciting. I love the Year of the Rat members. I still wonder how or why they came up with the twist on Ghostbusters.

There is a boy band variety show that deliberately has forced a member with a phobia of height to sky dive twice. It feels cruel to do this, with the bonus pressure that "you're failing everyone if you don't do it."
