Dear Inn 2026: A Beautiful Journey Overshadowed by an Unnecessary Ending!
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to think about Dear Inn 2026 as just a variety show.I initially came for Shen Yue. Of course, the DyShen nostalgia was part of the excitement too, but somewhere along the way I genuinely moved beyond just the ship and became attached to the show itself.
The entire cast slowly grew on me. The friendships, the chaos, the laughter, the little moments that weren’t even meant to be highlights, all of it made Dear Inn feel strangely real and thus DEAR❤️. It became part of my weekly routine and eventually a comfort space.
Which is why this ending feels so bittersweet.😔
Not only because the season is ending, but because it’s ending amidst so many emotions. The finale gave us a cast-written and cast-sung song/rap filled with memories from the journey, making everyone emotional. At the same time, the controversy surrounding the finale, that "uncomfortable joke", the public statements, the apology, the fan wars, and the endless discussions completely changed the atmosphere around the show in its final stretch.
And honestly, I really feel that unnecessary 3am post could have been avoided. It ended up ruining the warmth people were holding onto and made the ending feel far more upsetting than it needed to be, which is why I can’t help but feel disappointed in Wang Hedi!
What hurts the most is that the show that gave us so many genuine moments is now being remembered alongside all this noise. I feel sad watching everything unfold, I think most of us can agree that nobody expected Dear Inn 2026 to end on such an emotional and complicated note.
And maybe that’s why this final song hit me so hard.
Because for a few minutes, none of the discourse mattered. It was just memories. The laughter. The bond everyone built. The feeling of watching people slowly become important to you without realizing it.
I came for Shen Yue, but somewhere along the way Dear Inn itself became the reason I stayed.
Some shows entertain you for a season.
This one became a sentiment and maybe that’s why letting go feels so difficult. ❤️🥹

Shen Yue and Lan Jie (I want to see you more)
I was really excited to watch this show because it featured several actors and personalities that I enjoy, including Bai Lu Jie, Shen Yue, Lan Jie, Zhisheng, Chen Xiao, and Zelin. Seeing such a promising lineup made me look forward to the show, and I expected to enjoy watching my favorite stars interact and showcase their personalities.Unfortunately, after watching it, I ended up feeling quite disappointed. One of my biggest frustrations was the lack of screen time given to many of the cast members I was most interested in. I started this show mainly because of these individuals, but it felt like they barely appeared compared to what I had hoped for. Whenever they were on screen, I found myself wanting to see more.
In particular, I was looking forward to seeing more of Chen Xiao. He has a strong presence and charisma that always make him enjoyable to watch, but I felt that the show did not give him enough opportunities to shine. I sincerely hope to see him in future projects where he can have more screen time.
Shen Yue was another highlight for me. She looked absolutely beautiful throughout the show and brought a charming and positive energy whenever she appeared. Even with limited screen time, she managed to leave a lasting impression.
Lan Jie was also amazing. Her presence, personality, and performance stood out, and I found myself wishing that the show had focused more on her as well. The same goes for the other cast members I initially tuned in to watch.

Poorly Edited Wang Hedi Show Featuring A Stellar, Neglected Supporting Cast
1. Cast finds out wang hedi is the "boss" after signing. Don't think they'd have signed if most of their scenes were gonna be cut. Most also probably didn't have a choice considering how the industry powers work.2. Too much wang hedi, not like how the inn usually is. It gets irritating.
3. Badly edited. Quality compromised to make multiple versions. Episodes don't feel complete or wholesome.
4. Even if there's nothing else to watch, I still wouldn't recommend.

Every detail, from the scenery to the interior,adds to the comforting vibe of the show.On top of that, the service and the way everything is managed in the program give off a sense of warmth and care.
Overall, The Inn is not just entertaining, but also heart-warming. It's the kind of show that helps you relax, smile, and forget about stress for a while.
