Shows like "Bachelor in Paradise" and "Too Hot to Handle," whether set in bright luxury villas or tropical beachfronts, allow viewers to mentally transport themselves away from their current surroundings and into the clear skies and crystal blue waters.
Season 2 of "Singles Inferno," which debuts in mid-December, offers two primary venues for escapist viewing: a co-production between Netflix and Joongang Tong Yang Broadcasting Corporation (JTBC), which isolates groups of singles on a sparsely furnished desert island called an "inferno" and and gives them a chance to pair up and spend time at a luxury hotel called "Paradise. In case fans are wondering where in Korea the film is set, both the island and the resort are quite close to the locations of our favorite K-dramas.
