A must watch if you liked prequel beat coin. But a great variety show in general
The reboot of Beat Coin is one where you can feel the original series while introducing a fresh spin that keeps it exciting and engaging. It might be a good idea to watch the original series BEAT COIN because they have infused numerous references and nods to the show's classic moments, making it a loving nostalgic experience for long-time fans. The show itself is super fun and chaotic as always. Their dynamic is great The reboot maintains a similar vibe to the earlier I will call it 'seasons', especially with its witty dialogues and also keeping some of the concept of "luck of the coin."Why should you watch it I say?
Well. Not to spoil anything but, a funny moment in the first few episodes, there is a particularly memorable scene where the humour and absurdity the show is known for. The cast find themselves in a scenario where they must act as cold-blooded killers while simultaneously trying to keep their composure, all while a whistle is placed in their mouths. Watching them navigate this ridiculous situation is nothing short of hilarious, showcasing their comedic talents. My favourite of the performance comes from Wooyoung, well other than being a cast member on variety he is also a well-known member of the idol group 2PM. In these episodes, his character faces a situation where his dignity is humorously put to the test. This particular moment has become a talking point among fans in the Hottest fandom (2pm fandom name), who find it amusing . You can really feel that they do indeed have a screw loose sometimes when they film.

My kind of vibes since I have few loose screws too~
I honestly didn’t expect to love Screwballs as much as I did. The first few episodes felt a bit shaky, and I thought it would be another variety show that fades into the background but it completely grew on me. The main hosts’ dynamic is gold; their chemistry reminds me a bit of Running Man, even though the format is totally different. You can tell how naturally they bounce off each other.It made me wish I could watch BeatCoin, since the hosts often reference it. I’d love to see how their bond started and how that chemistry was built from the ground up.
My only gripe? One full segment equals four weeks of waiting, the pacing of the releases was brutal! Still, every episode felt worth it, and now I’m excited to dive into Season 2 soon. I really hope they keep this energy going and give us even more episodes to binge.
📌 Watch this if you love chaotic, witty, and heartwarming variety shows that grow better the longer you stick around.

This is Beat Coin Season 2
If you have not watched Beat Coin, I suggest you do it first because then you'd understand more of their dynamic and chemistry and the idea of this show.The five have great chemistry thanks to Beat Coin and watching them reunited again is so touching and fun!
To be honest, 30 minutes per episode seems so short compared to Beat Coin 1 hour average, but we are grateful that Netflix can cater to them after KBS dropped the show.
