Based on community feedback and the improved quality of YouTube's auto-subtitles, we are dropping the spoiler tagging/masking requirement for aired episodes in IAS, IAS:LF, and CM episodes. So now you can comment freely if you have watched the Korean/raw version.

If you want to stay spoiler free until you watch the episode, stay away from the episode posts. 😄

However, you must still tag spoilers and guesses for:

• Future episodes or seasons
• Post-season news

Any posts or comments that violate this rule will be deleted without notice.

Happy watching and commenting!

P.S. Give us a couple of days to update all the various settings/FAQ/wiki w.r.t. untagged spoilers.

🔍 Collated feedback and some personal opinions

🏆 Fan Favorites / Gold Standard

S28 – The new gold standard 'I Am Solo' season. It has the highest average rating (8.63) and an exceptional concentration of 9–10 ratings.

S29 – Another fan favorite at 7.92. A particularly strong late-season run makes S29 one of the standout seasons of the period.

⚡ Volatile / Uneven Seasons

S27 – A good season that could have been great. The 7.85 average reflects a strong overall reception, but there is a sense of unrealized potential. It sits just below the elite S28–S29 tier.

S24 – A season driven by drama, featuring two of the most iconic cast members, who will always be mentioned together. The overall rating is only 6.42, but this is a season to watch if you enjoy interpersonal drama and memorable cast dynamics.

🟡 Middling / Mixed Seasons

S25 – This could be classified as solid instead of middling because of the entertainment factor. But a cast member was edited out post-season following a criminal complaint diminishing it's 'watch' score. Yet the remaining cast still provides plenty of memorable—let's say interesting—characters. It has a surprisingly large collection of villains, despite having a cast of never-divorced cast members.

S22 – A Divorced Solo special season that had a bit of everything. Its 7.58 average puts it comfortably above the weaker seasons, although it doesn't quite reach the heights of the later fan favorites. Its appeal comes from variety rather than one defining strength. It walks so that S28 could run!

S30 – A mixed season with a 7.06 average, following the high point established by S28 and S29. However, it is redeemed by one person, whose contribution gives the season a memorable saving grace despite the weaker overall reception.

📉 Skip-Worthy

S26 – A classic season of two halves: a stellar first half, followed by a dramatic collapse into a dark hole. Its 6.42 average doesn't fully capture that split. The problem isn't simply that the season was weak; rather, it failed to sustain the promise of its opening half.

S23 – The clearest skip-worthy season, with the lowest average of the group at 6.00. One cast member was edited out after just one episode, while another cast member made such a negative impression that many of us viewers are still trying to delete from their memory.

S21 – A sorry state of affairs, with a 6.68 average and no 9 or 10 ratings. The season seems to have been undermined by a combination of bad timing, egos, and cold feet, making it more of a missed opportunity than a good season.
