I really expected this to be similar to the variety shows of kpop groups, shows that will introduce the members to the general public in a relaxing manner. But I was extremely shocked at the some of their punishments and missions as they were pretty daring. Some of these punishments / missions included eating insects and other fear-inducing activities, things I will never see a typical kpop group do so imagine my :o face while watching, especially when they have to rock-climb up an actual cliff-face in Krabi. But I actually enjoyed myself watching their genuine reactions, their hilarious banter with each other and the sides of them that you may not get to see during 全民造星. The show kept to the usual style of ViuTV's variety shows, in their commitment to genuineness. If a show aims to introduce a kpop idol group to the general public, there are certain scenes that have to be edited out like conflicts arising within the group, as it might affect the image of certain members in the group. But footages of Ian losing his temper during one of the games and the subsequent scenes of the opposite team apologising for their unfair methods were kept in the show. That whole episode was quite memorable to me for that reason as it reminded me that they are actual flesh and blood, with feelings, with flaring tempers but also with a growing and protective bond with each other.
Maybe I'm just being biased but I found myself loving MIRROR a lot more and appreciating certain members (who I didn't have much feelings for) after watching this show.
