IN The Soop : Friendcation may be over, but Disney+ Hotstar has more exciting shows to keep the momentum going on Friday nights. Here’s a watchlist of five new titles to tide you over.
Outrun by Running Man
The first episode saw an unforgettable moment as the idols started off their antics with a board game that turned into a battle of skills between V from BTS and Peakboy. A family game turned into an intense competition with plenty of hijinks.
Similarly, Outrun by Running Man featuring Kim Jong-kook, HaHa, Jee Seok-jin, Song Ji-hyo and Yang Se-chan from South Korea will have you crying tears of joy as they play a variety of games.
The Bear
The Bear, making its way to Disney+ Hotstar on August 19, is an inspiring story of a young and successful chef who returns home trying to save his family business due to an unforeseen tragedy. From being a top chef at a world-class restaurant back to humble beginnings at his brother’s sandwich shop, The Bear takes a hard look at the restaurant industry while relaying a deep story about family, loss, addiction and the importance of mental health.
Big Mouth (pictured as main pic)
Are you a fan of romantic thriller series? Big Mouth will have you wanting to solve the mystery of how an underperforming lawyer gets caught up in a murder case. He ends up in a huge conspiracy in order to protect his family and his brave wife (Im Yoon Ah) does everything to bail him out at all costs. With conspiracy theories, murder mysteries and an unbreakable bond of love, it’s hard to resist Big Mouth.
Adamas
Adamas, a Greek word meaning 'unconquerable' from which the word 'diamond' is derived, should be the next series on your watchlist. It tells the story of twin brothers who dig into the truth behind the incident involving a bloody diamond arrow uncovering the truth of a dark secret that killed their stepfather and forced their biological one behind bars. The bonds of friendship, kinship and relationship are tested as they race towards the truth.
Lost Cities with Albert Lin
Lost Cities with Albert Lin is the show to watch if you're looking for a travel adventure. The show takes you across time and continents from the comfort of your couch. With each episode featuring a different city lost to time and Albert’s engaging commentary, we’d recommend getting all your travel buddies to join in this bingewatching journey as well. This way you can talk about your favourite places all night long, and it’ll be like a remote friendcation. – The Vibes, August 16, 2022
