Sixth Sense Season 2 (2021)

Absolutely Hilarious

I've watched both season 1 and season 2, and I think each episode is absolutely hilarious. Although some topics were better than others, the cast really made up for it. The cast has great chemistry and never fails to make me laugh with their comments. I absolutely love Jae-suk's comments about Mijoo being a junior comedian, which I agree with.

Although I didn't know most of the guest cast, just the cast's interactions with them made me feel good. Trying to follow along and make use of my sixth sense was really enjoyable as well. I eagerly waited every Friday to get my laughing fix and it's a really great variety show to watch if you haven't ever watched korean variety shows before. Even if you are still dubious, it is a great show to watch in between dramas, and each episode is effectively standalone.

Can't wait for season 3 to drop! Excuse me, as I'll be crying that it can't come sooner.

Sadly, season 2 was far less consistent in terms of quality of the episodes. Some were great, some were rather boring.

Here’s the thing - the cast is amazing, brilliant, funny, and has perfect chemistry with each other, but the concept of the episodes lack creativity and clever directing/planning. How many times can we watch an episode about food and restaurants? What is this, mukbang? All the episodes that focused on anything other than food were, just based on that aspect, better.

Many times the production team focused so much on making the fake place “bigger and better and more shocking” they forgot to actually make it “work”. This is not Pimp My Ride Restaurant Edition. They should focus less on the place/building, and work harder on the writing of the story behind the place and the people working there. Simpler ideas would be so much harder to guess.

One more thing that started to annoy me as the show progressed was the love line joke between Jessi and Sang Yeob. Yes, at first I found it hilarious, but at some point I felt like it went too far? I started to truly just feel uncomfortable with it.

That said, it was still overall extremely entertaining, all thanks to the cast. Nara was the awesome older sister trying to fight against her bad luck, So Min made me cry while laughing because of her unusual jokes and out of the box behavior. Jessi was the queen she usually is, with a straightforward attitude and Mi Joo was the pure chaotic energy and the master of body gags. And then there are Jae Suk and Sang Yeo trying to run the show and survive.

If you liked season one because of the cast, you will still love this season. Even with some flaws, I still believe it’s funnier and better than the majority of the variety shows I have seen.
