Light the Wild

I'll preface this with I'm Taiwanese diaspora and agree with the review that says this is probably only good if you're Taiwanese.

A lot of this is cultural context, where most working people live in the major city related to the field: Taipei for banking and media, Hsinchu for science, Taichung for tech, etc. Because so many people end to flocking to certain cities for work and convenience with access to food in a fast paced life makes it so that you often don't cook your own food often, or you try not to do anything that eats into your time. So an idyllic camping life where you're forced to slow down and get to casually chat with your friends is something to relish, since you're basically working hard in a toxic rat race the second you become school aged.

Overall this is probably only entertaining for people who: are Taiwanese and get the cultural nuance, or also live similar lives constantly living in a fast paced environment. I give this a 7 because while I enjoyed it, I can understand why someone else may not so it's better to just skip if you don't like watching a slice of life comedy ensemble.

Why does Netflix keep showing this garbage. They seem to have an infatuation with Ruby Lin. I don't see the appeal. I went through 2 episodes, please don't ask me why. It was against my better judgement. The same garbage. Night the light was really bad and this is a whole lot worse. I didn't think that Netflix could involve itself in a new level of garbage but they managed to do it in craptacular fashion. I wonder why they chose not to renew triad princess, that is from Taiwan also and is much better than this garbage. I Really don't see this as being something worth watching. I highly don't recommend it. Please do not waste your life watching this garbage or you will surely regret it.

I really enjoyed Light the Wild. It's really heartwarming reality tv. It's about a bunch of stars getting together, enjoy camping or hosting a airbnb, playing games, cooking, missions, with sprinkles of nature and learning of cultures. I can see why other reviewers may not like it, because it's slow reality tv. But it's like a nice, smooth wine. If you understand Chinese like me, this may be more enjoyable to watch and listen to. Feels like a bunch of friends getting together and enjoying a good time. It's unlike a lot of trashy reality tv out there... Environment? Cozy, dreamy. Cast? Getting together to have good time vibes.
