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.
