In plain English

This repository is a curated viewing guide for variety shows from 2025 to 2026, written in Chinese. The description translates to "2026 Variety Show Tracking Handbook" and the content is a handpicked list of highly rated programs across several regional categories. The list covers Chinese domestic productions, including long-running staples like the 12th season of a popular running-themed game show, a singer competition series, and relationship-focused reality formats. Korean variety shows are also included, such as a long-running ensemble program and newer productions from a well-known Korean producer. The guide rounds out with Japanese variety programs and a section for shows from Hong Kong and Taiwan. At the bottom, the README links to a third-party streaming site where the listed shows can be watched online, with direct search links for several of the titles. There is no code or software in this repository. It is purely a personal reference document, similar to a watch-list, intended to help Chinese-speaking viewers keep track of recommended shows for the year.
