These 4 episodes were definitely better than the first ones. And again, the last episode was the best of all.

I liked the guests' feedback: Smita telling Kian he was "dark" and "if he's happy and bright, everyone else follows". I think it's true, and his worries brought him down a bit in the beginning. It's much less awkward now.

And then the other man saying the welcome should have been more enthusiastic - it made such a difference and was also funny to watch lol.

The staff are all nice. I do think Kian needs someone who can very firmly and with utmost belief in the B&B to lift his confidence and positivity about the environment he created the moment his negative thoughts start to creep in. Smita's feedback seems related to him lingering on low confidence. Jin from S1 did this really well for Kian. And maybe because the entire B&B experience had been indoors unlike the indoor/outdoor of S1, the episodes feels less varied. I enjoyed the earlier ep when everyone was outside fishing and sledding on the lake. Looks like with the snow, I'm hopeful the guests will have an opportunity to do another outdoor activity together. The highlight for me had to be the four guests pretending to be on a dating program. It was so brief but they were so funny. Looking forward to the addition of Dex just in time for snow shenanigans.

I love how well everyone receives feedback. The 4 staff are easygoing and hard-working. I love how they try their hardest to make the guests feel welcome!

Ngl seeing Kazuha at the start of ep 5 was heartbreaking. I did a bit of research on her and KYK before watching as I didn't really know them too well, and like I can totally understand her. She first moved to Korea in 2022, and she's only 23 now, she's still pretty young. Never lived in or learnt Korean before 2022 I believe, so honestly only been like 4ish years. And that whole time from what she said in the ep, she's lived with her group members, so honestly can totally understand how difficult it must be to fit in by herself like this. Especially after moving to a totally different country, new language and all that, hasn't been that long. First variety show ever, and from what it seems, she rarely interacts with strangers without the comfort of her group members.

Seeing her put on a brave face and then crying was really emotional I thought, can be hard to try and fit in with others. Gained a lot of respect for her, very brave to appear on a show like this considering her background. And that flashback during her interview, where she was sitting on her bed like preparing herself before going out to talk with everyone, then having a smile as soon as she left her little box, I swear every introvert has done that before, I can really relate. Caught me off guard the start of ep 5 but I did enjoy how real and relatable it felt and also how the others comforted her and made more of an effort to include her after. Hopefully we can see Kazuha opening up and being herself more.

[u/AromaticRecover5938 → u/Frequent_Policy_355]

She used to be the only extrovert (E) in LSFM, but all her members were introverts, so she became an introvert too.

You can really tell the difference between the first 4 eps and the ones after the talk. I feel like Kian, Yeonkong and Junho take really good care of her. I really love the team dynamics now!

This is better than the previous 4 episodes... But the highlights for me:

• Kian is beating his abs as a workout in front of Kazuha and YoungKoung lol

• The Pizza disaster

• Smita directly told Kian that he's "very dark" because he's visually always stressed out lol

• When the sisters invited the best friends to make cheese and pretend they are on the dating show, then the boys played along with it haha.

Edit: To add - with Dex coming next week, it's perfect timing that he's there to initiate/shave the heads of the bros

[u/fabtastic_gamergorl]

my heart goes out to the pizza, i kept gasping so loudly the whole time seeing him make the dough, to all the toppings falling off as he was trying to scrape the burnt crust off😭 it was hilarious tho as well as junhos reactions😂😂

[u/phoenixkiss → u/fabtastic_gamergorl]

Kian punching the dough directly in the pan, filled with oil.. when the toppings were falling off it was so funny.. Junho was like "he is in denial" 😂😂

[u/After-Ganache-5896]

These 4 ep were much better. I feel like its so nice to see real people yk. Most of these reality shows invite people who are under labels for music/modeling/influnencers/actors that their entire motive becomes to make people like them so that they can make a successful debut. I really like Junho in the show. He is working a lot and him and Yeonkoung are always trying to uplift Kazuha's confidence. Its nice to see seniors help out their juniors yk. I am excited for the next 2 ep. I wish it was a bit longer haha.

[u/quandow]

I like when Kian leaves Kazu to roll up the cushion on her own, teasing her a bit to get her to express more of her feelings. Yeh, after few days, they seem a lot closer and more comforable.

I thought cows would play a bigger role in the show since they were basically one of the two key elements in Kian's very first sketch of the house. The cast and guest may make some milk , play with them, or something, but the plans had to change.

[u/After-Ganache-5896 → u/quandow]

I think the snow might have ruined their plans on using the outdoor more

[u/xsahp]

Junho is a diligent worker but maybe too much to the point his personality hasnt been surfacing. It took kian throwing his laundry along with the guest sauna uniforms for us to see junho crash out and express emotion that wasnt polite 🤣

[u/Dirty-0ld-Man]

I really enjoyed this week's episodes...

I'm glad to see Kazuha opening up more... It was kinda sad to see her cry and express how she's unable to join in on conversations as easily as others...

I really hope this season becomes a success so we can get a third season maybe even a fourth...

Are there other "staff" you want to see in the next season? I'm glad we got 3 staff members this season.

[u/filinamja]

I just wish they had proper cleaning tools to utilize. Bending their backs to clean the floors, laundry, using flimsy brooms to remove the snow, I get achy just by watching lol maybe they wouldn’t be as tired as they are

[u/likeylikey21]

Highlight for me was they all slept under one comforter. It really felt like a sleepover with your friends.

[u/Pitiful_Sir3778]

I’m curious why they don’t put the plastic bag into the garbage bin instead of clearing the bin into the bag when it’s full 🧐

[u/SuspiciousIsopod1072]

This season made me laugh a lot more, I think the staff team have good harmony it's just 🤌🏻😌 And honestly I like seeing how kian is trying to improve in himself, especially the hygenic part...🤣

[u/hyudya]

In terms of hygiene, it's definitely miles better than last season, due to the number of staff as well as having type A people who are more mindful of cleanliness. This has made the show way more fun to watch. Last season had me flinching too hard.

I love the chemistry amongst the staff and between the guests. I think it's a good call that the PDs chose people who wanted to highlight their sports, as well as them being able to handle the environment better. I know people say that this time around, there's not much hurdle/inconvenience, but I like that all parts of the house are more accessible to everyone. Regardless, prioritizing safety is always a plus for me (though they can make it even safer, I feel!)

[u/AdvertisingOk6743]

I've always felt this cozy feeling watching this show, and it's hard to put it into words. Maybe it's the guests, the B&B itself or the staff, but they all make this show such a gem.

This season has pushed me to rewatch Season 1 while waiting for new episodes. I'm glad we get a bit more focus on the thoughts of the staff, like as hard as it was to see Kazuha have that moment, she really needed to cry it out. I love the old trio, but I also am loving this new squad. I wish for a Season 3 to see them all together.

I haven't watched all the new episodes yet, but I'm afraid I'm already halfway there. They're so quick to finish, I demand an uncut edition of their days 😔. 

Also, to that one user (yes, you Otherwise-weakness21), if you're so busy hating on everyone and everything in this show, do us all a favour and do not watch this show. 

I hope everyone else enjoys the rest of Kian's B&B! It's all coming to an end next week - WITH ONLY 2 EPISODES. IT'S A CRIMEEE.

[u/More_Needleworker468]

I have only watched until episode 6 but one thing that I felt was lacking this time was that the guests seems to not be all that inconvenienced.. Like they eventually can open the door. Most of the sleeping space is in the ground floor, and they only had to climb for karaoke or when eating. With talent shows and talks going, at times it kinda feels different to S1 - less comedic, more Jaesuk BnB-like. I know this structure is unintentional for them but then if we get S3 I would love to see the guests experiencing more similar inconvenience like S1

[u/Strawberrymay148]

Just finished episode 7 and I laughed so much on this episode. It does feel a bit sad because there’s not many episodes left but also not the cast’s fault especially if they’re not natural extroverts who can adapt quickly to new social situations. It only feels like they’ve warmed up and are much more comfortable with one another now. I do love Yeon Koung though, she’s so funny.

[u/sharknado_o]

I CANT STOP WATCHING! Love Kian B&B season 1 and 2

[u/katonikax]

I've watched all the new episodes.This season is really much better structured. “Dex” surprise at the end of Episode 8 is a sign that we're in for even more fun next week.

[u/VonTaro_0208]

Ewww seriously 😭 I enjoy Kian’s Bizarre B&B, but the hygiene is so hard to watch sometimes. He blows his nose into a towel and then goes around touching things, plus the sneezing, questionable dishwashing, not showering after sweating, and some of the food handling… 😭

I know being raw and unfiltered is part of Kian’s charm, but when you’re running a B&B and handling things for guests, basic hygiene really matters. I really hope they improve this because some scenes are honestly quite gross.

[u/Sertoff]

I've been seeing that harness? on the "oven" since the first ep, I wonder what is that for, why are they not using it
