Woke Up to SuperTV

It's Super Junior in their own variety show—what more could I ask for?

Ten episodes might seem underwhelming for a 20th anniversary celebration but considering their individual and sub-units schedules and commitments, I can definitely see how much effort was put into putting this show together.

You only need one Super Junior member to make a show fun or interesting. And if you get all (active) members together (yes, including Heechul!!) in one show, then you’re in chaotic, fun, and memorable ride.

Truly with Super Junior, expectations are exceeded, especially when it comes to group contents and variety shows. The production staff and the members definitely tried to put all the fans’ and members’ suggestions into one season, and although they don’t get to tick off everything from the list, there were no dull moments and everything was just fun.

The activities they did were fun as always, but more than that, I’m just happy to see how the members always feel much happier and at ease whenever they’re together.

The third season wrapped up really nicely with a touching yet fun activity, which takes me back to how they started—dorm life.

Good luck on the 20th anniversary preparations, Super Junior. Hoping for more seasons of Super TV!

Enjoyable Chaos

I was feeling down and was looking for something to lighten my mood. I wanted to laugh so I was planning to re-watch my favorite episode of another variety. An ad for Woke Up To SuperTV just happened to pop up before I could click on that episode. I figured I'd watch at least 1 episode since I've enjoyed some of the guys on other variety shows. Next thing I know it's after 3am and I'm laughing like a mad woman.

This is a bromance lovers dream. I mean it. The PDs came up with a great idea to help the guys celebrate their 20th. The asked SJ what kind of things they'd like to do. Then, they made some of those wishes come true, just not in the way the guys were expecting. They play a lot of games for gifts and have a funny walk down memory lane complete with photos. If you ever wondered what they ate as trainees and who cooked, you'll find that out, too.

I learned alot about the Super Jr members including who was who. Yes, I admit I only knew 4 of their names. Or rather I knew all their names, but sometime got confused as to who was who except for those 4. I know who is who now and I can't see myself forgetting. I would never have guessed just how silly they are. I never would've guessed that Siwon was funny. I MEAN NEVER! I'm sure it wasn't intentional either. His facial expressions are comedy gold, especially in episode 9. I was in tears. Other things I learned: Kyuhyun is a bit..odd, Yesung has bad luck with games, you want Heechul & Eunhyuk on your team during trivia night, Donghae is nerdy sexy (ok I caught crush shut up), Ryeowook may be quiet but he's not shy, and Shindong, who was a lot funnier on here than anything I've ever seen him in, should host a game show. What about Leetuk you ask? Well, I learned that I like him. I didn't before, but in watching him with the guys I can see his warmth and how easily he can be misunderstood. He's also funny.

The show made it very easy to see the relationships they've developed over the years. Their camaraderie and friendships. It's bromance central. I'm telling you. They guys are endearing and funny.
