Wholesome & Heartwarming!
This show was just so much fun and brought me so much happiness and joy! I found it really heartwarming to see the 3 staff members: Kian, Jin and Ye Eun do their absolute best to seriously run the B&B as well as make all the guests feel included and comfortable (as comfortable as they can be haha). I personally really liked the fact that the B&B is meant to be quirky and challenging and while I understand that it can be concerning sometimes, the whole concept behind it was to push people outside their comfort zone and make memories. And I definitely think that they were successful in this. It is also really heartwarming and even inspiring hearing about the guests back stories and seeing them bring their own energy and vibes to the environment. I also loved seeing the staff get really close to some of the guests in particular and seeing a lot of the guests even start to travel together and make day plans together after meeting at the B&B. Some guests especially had such amazing energy that I wish I could see more content with them!The only minor concern I had was with the comments about India, in terms of eating with hands. I do not think in any way that the idea that Indians eat with their hands was brought up with any malice, or anything outside of just Kian even wanting to share his excitment over the experiences he has had travelling India. However, I do think that there is a lot of nuance to that topic and that considering there are already so many stereotypes about India, the heavy focus on eating with their hands might have a negative impact as well. But on the other hand seeing the staff and the guests not make any insulting/negative comments and instead most of them accept it and even start to enjoy it, that was something I did really appreciate. So my feelings are a bit conflicted on it to be honest. However in terms of Korean (or any) media and entertainment as a whole, I do wish that when applicable they are able to show more accurate representations of not only India but other countries around the world.
That concern however does not take away from my overall enjoyment of the show and I will definitely be rewatching when I need something wholesome and funny! Truly I really enjoyed watching this show and it brought me lots of laughter and heartwarming moments.

It's unpredictable and awesome to watch.
I didn't expect this would make me like kian. I just watch this in the first place because of Jin but now i really really love Kian84 and his staff, also the guest. This series gives your emotions up and down. This is really worth it to watch. I hope there's more episode that i will see kian. I'm a fan after watching this. This series gives you an excitement and feels like a child again to dream like what kian did.Was this review helpful to you?
Definitely worth watching! I loved it!
I know Kian84 from I Live Alone and I know how unpredictable he can be so I was curious about what he can do, also I am one big Army as well so when I heard Jin was going to be there, I just HAD to watch it. But it has completely exceeded my expectations! I knew that whatever Jin was going to do, it would have been authentic, hilarious and sweet at the same time, but the Jin, Kian and Ji Ye Eun combo was amazing. The sister-brother relationship and Jin being completely set on following the rules and making sure that no compromise could take place was honestly hilarious. And I loved how they bonded with each guest, and how they made sure to get their stories in too. Totally recommended.Was this review helpful to you?

Bizarre, Bonkers, and Beautiful — A Vacation I’ll Never Forget (Even Though I Wasn’t There)
Kian’s Bizarre B&B is exactly what it promises: completely out of the ordinary but full of heart. It’s not just a vacation show — it’s a weird, whimsical dream set on a barge in the middle of the sea, with fire poles, wall-climbing entrances, slides into the ocean, and hanging beds outdoors. Even the backup B&B is wild, requiring a scenic 7.5-minute monorail ride down a mountain slope. It’s like someone opened up a manhwa artist’s sketchbook and said, “Yeah, build that.”What makes this show unforgettable is the cast and guests. Kian84, YeEun, and Jin were new faces to me, but they created a warm, chaotic energy that worked surprisingly well. And the guests? A perfect mix. The shy, studious student. The father-sons trio. Energetic jobseekers. A brave North Korean defector. Solo travelers. A couple in love. Navy officers on leave. Everyone brought something different — their stories, laughs, awkwardness, and even the tears gave the B&B heart and depth. Their stories added depth and warmth that made the B&B feel like more than just a gimmick.
Yes, there were flaws—some parts were downright unsafe or inconvenient—but maybe that’s part of the charm. It pushed everyone out of their comfort zones and into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Sure, there were hazards (smoky annex, shaky pole, chaotic slide), and yes, Kian’s hygiene habits raised a few brows — but that’s what made it so human. Watching this made me feel like I was right there with them. It was strange, it was beautiful, and I’d do it all over again — even just from my screen. Bring on Season 2, Netflix. I’m already packed.

Molto carino! Il b&b - e la sua depandance - sembrava usciti veramente da un webtoon. Lo staff del b&b divertente e sensibile. Ottima scelta degli ospiti, ho riso tantissimo ma ho anche pianto tantissimo. Jin, che adoro in veste di cantante, è stata una rivelazione per la simpatia e la tenacia a gestire il b&b. Kian84 una mente folle ma pura, adorabile! Ji Ye-eun, la compagna di viaggio che vorresti, bellissima con le sue fossette! Aspettiamo una seconda stagione dello show! Spero che tutti avranno una vita felice!Was this review helpful to you?

Kian bikin penginapan sesuai imajinasinya yang ternyata beneran di luar nalar. Masuk penginapan kudu wall climbing dulu, bobo di luar. Kian happy, tamunya (keliatannya) juga happy sih WQWQWQ tamunya unik deh, aku suka karena profesinya macem-macem dan ngga mageran. Apalagi part pembelot Korut YA ALLAH CHUNG IL sini aku peluuuuuk huhu.
Dah lah penginapan di tengah laut, makan kudu pakai tangan, suka-suka banget. Tapi ini yang bikin seru, jadi emang bukan healing yang damaaaai gitu nontonnya. Suka juga sama interaksi yee Un sama Jin. See you season 2!
