Really slow paced show.  I don't really get it, to be honest.

plan to watch
(watching for Zhang Chenxiao)

plan to check out when it airs; will likely only watch episodes with my favorite stars... show is slow and sleep inducing otherwise....

currently watching / on hold - There were subtitles for ep1 and ep2, but then they stopped adding subtitles.....

What a trainwreck so far.  Not well produced.  They do a lot of stupid stuff that make you scratch your head.  The format is lame.  Not entertaining.  Even the mentors/judges look like they don't want to be there.  Only watch if you're interested in seeing someone specific.  Do not recommend at all.

plan to watch - Qin Xiaoxian!

might watch only if Ding Chengxin is on it... otherwise heck no, what a snoozefest this show is

plan to watch when it airs

(For future reference, filming started Feb 23, 2026.)

plan to watch if/when it airs, but Mango did not list this show as one that they plan to release in 2025 (i.e., most likely this show won't happen)
