But variety shows, with their kitschy themes like fathers bonding with their children, like Dad Where Are You Going? While those shows are popular with both international and Korean fans, there's something that makes them different from Roommates. Ever since the first episode, Roommates has been criticized for being too scripted, too obviously an attempt and trying to make the participants act a certain way.
In particular, fans took affront at the blatant attempt at making it a competition for the house inhabitants to start dating. Even though the show's writers apologized, there was still a drop in ratings, since the audience felt that everything was too fake. But how is that any different from something like We Got Married , or hoping that two of the Running Man members will fall in love?
Because those are obviously forced relationships, that the producers like and perpetuate. And Korean fans are okay with that, because it's fun.
Korean fans are smart. Idols — or entertainers in general — and cameras have a very interesting relationship. From the start, idols are taught to eat the camera up. Idols cannot afford to make mistakes on cameras or else endless criticism will ensue. When the camera starts rolling, it is often the case that idols liven up or exaggerate their actions in an effort to amuse viewers or get attention. Variety shows have varying levels of scripting to keep the pace of the show organized and uniform and to keep potential accidents from happening.
While ideally, aspects like cast interaction and gags are genuine, scripting is still present and, while not necessary, helpful in almost all forms of variety.

Especially for variety newbies, scripting is like a crutch that allows one to be aware of a situation so he or she can manipulate it to make it as entertaining as possible.
But there are moments where entertainers are purposely kept uninformed of the situation in an effort to entertain using their genuine reactions. Now a variety staple, in these hidden cameras, the ones planning it build tense or unusual situations for its victim s to react to.
While hidden cameras can potentially create genuinely sweet or hilarious moments, the way they are treated as of late is becoming a bit worrying. Hidden cameras are often used as either a prank or for celebrations, being used to surprise its victim for whatever reason be it a birthday or just for fun.
When a hidden camera is being filmed, the ones involved are unaware that the events going on are planned, oftentimes not even being aware a camera is even rolling. As such, to them, the things that are being said are very real, and they probably will take those things personally. They are no longer acting for a camera and can no longer rely on scripting as for all they know, everything going on is real. Reality TV shows: Reality TV shows also shows contestants competing for a prize, but the competitions are very long-drawn, often spanning for entire seasons of the show.
