A: Besides hit TV drama series like “Pursuit of Jade,” Disney+’s South Korean fortune-telling reality show “Battle of Fates” is also quite eye-catching.
B: Fortune-telling reality show? That’s new. Are the competitors all fortune-tellers?
A: Yup, 49 top shamans and fortune-tellers compete through divination, face reading, tarot cards and other methods. Those with higher accuracy rates then advance to the next round.

B: But I still prefer watching dating reality shows.
A: Maybe you can try Korea’s “Transit Love 4,” “Single’s Inferno 5,” or Japan’s “Offline Love,” “Badly in Love,” and even gay romance “The Boyfriend 2.” Those should be enough to keep you entertained.
A: 除了熱門影集《逐玉》等，Disney+的南韓命理實境節目《天機試煉場》也很紅！
B: 命理實境節目？真新鮮。參賽者難道是一群命理師嗎？
A: 答對了，49位命理師透過占卜、面向、塔羅等互相比試，而誰的準確率較高就可晉級。
B: 但我好像還是更喜歡看戀愛實境秀。
A: 你可以看南韓的《換乘戀愛4》、《單身即地獄5》，日本的《離線找真愛》、《不良一族尋愛記》，甚至BL戀綜《我的咖啡男友2》都不錯，夠你看到爽啦。
