South Korean people are known to care a lot about their bodies. They eat carefully and try their best to maintain their desired figure type. But sometimes, due to unforeseen conditions, a person may gain weight. This can be due to physical or mental health issues. South Korea has some stringent ideas about the ideal body type. Hence, maintaining a certain body weight and type is more of a norm than a choice. Diet is a show aiming to achieve these goals. 2 episodes are already out and Diet episode 3 will be out in the next 3 days.
KBS2 has come out with an innovative show idea to help lose weight and also keeping your mental health intact while doing that. It is more of a variety show, which is hosted by the popular MC Kim Shin Young, who is known for her own inspirational weight loss journey. Having a host who has experience in this field makes the show feel more genuine and legit.
“Diet” recap and the cast of Diet
The Drama began airing on 30 April 2022, and two episodes are out already. The show has many popular celebrities from K-Pop idols to actresses. The show is an all-female ensemble hence the girls are really chatty and are able to be their natural selves in the show. After all, the show is supposed to make them gain self esteem and be happy in their bodies.
In the first episode, we are introduced to all the cast members who would be participating. We have the host for the show, Kim Shin Young, who lost 38 kgs worth of weight and her journey is inspiring for many. We have actress Ha Jae Suk, popular choreographer Bae Yoon Jung, actress Go Eun Ah as a part of the show. Additionally, we have Yujeong of idol group Brave Girls, youtuber Kim Ju Yeon and the popular songwriter Park Moon Chi. All the girls are experts of their area of work. On the show we are getting to see a more candid side of them.
In the first episode everyone introduces themselves and goes on a field trip. It is more introductory in nature. In the second episode, we saw everyone get shifted to a house, which has been specially designed for the show. All the girls take a profile test in which they discuss the things they would like to work on. Some wanted to get rid of belly fat, while some are aiming for a more holistic weight controlling plan. It’s worth noting how the show is inclusive of every body type.
Next, they prepare diet food which surprises most of them. The idea of nutritional and diet can’t be delicious was refuted in the episode. In fact, anyone who is interested in a healthy lifestyle can follow the routine shown in the tv show.
Diet Episode 3 preview
The most heartwarming part came towards the half of second episode. Following the dinner, the girls all sit together in a circle. The women discuss the issues they have faced and are facing in their journey of fitness. Thankfully we have Kim Shin Young who never lets the environment become too intense. She clearly knows how to break ice. Also, her journey of weight is not a mystery. Hence, she has a lot of precious advice to impart. Towards the end of episode 2, we saw the participants began their first exercise routine. The routine has been given by none other than the fitness trainer of many celebrities, Jung Jae Chul.
Towards the end, the girls end up talking about food and food only and are skeptical if they’ll achieve their goals before the show ends. Well, that’s something we are rooting for to. It’s a good show to follow though if you are interested in becoming fit this summer.
