full masterlist
you know what i loved about IP?
at the start, the episodes were just showing how hard everyone was working and the struggles all the trainees were going through
but towards the end of the show, every episode was a 3 hour long meme-show with cold-jokes and stupid ass puns and bromances with shade being thrown left and right and people exposing each other all the time
like even zhang pd was getting in on the ‘huba’ train, bu fan x xiao gui daily violence, cai xukun x wang ziyi x zhu zhengting love triangle family with their son qian zhenghao, zhu zhengting and his actual kids the yuehua sprouts, you zhangjng x lin yanjun couple goals, everybody loving xu shengen, everyone acknowledging that zhu xingjie is such a well-rounded artist and so much more
MEME FACES ALL AROUND THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT OUT
everyone genuinely supporting and hyping each other up in the waiting room?? like have you ever seen such a rowdy bunch of kids? every time there’s a performance based episode it was literally 5% rehearsal, 1% performance and 100% screaming
ghost pranks?? fat suits?? zhang yixing being a little shit and coming up with that idea to swap mentors just for reality show content??
all of that behind the scenes and interview content that was apparently uploaded but you had to go searching to the ends of the earth to find?
everyone going to extraordinary lengths to help people out even if they were in another team? everyone was always so focussed on working together as a team and making sure they succeeded together
people being genuinely devastated when their friends are eliminated and promising to keep in touch afterwards?
it just shows how close everyone was after four months of training together and i don’t think i’ll ever watch a survival show again because i’ll never get the genuine joy that i had watching IP anymore
as much as it was a survival competition it definitely didn’t feel like it and that in short is why i love IP so much and prefer it over any other survival show that i’ve watched
