2 Days, 1 Night, Season 4- Episode 61 Review

*2 Days, 1 Night is a show where 6 regular cast members take themed trips around Korea to show off its charms. Each trip has a theme designed to highlight an area or else to create cohesion for the games they play. The general formula for a trip is a lunch game, a dinner game, and a sleeping inside or outside game. Half of the members (in teams or as individuals) will win lunch. The same will be true of dinner and the right to sleep inside instead of in a tent. Trips often cover several episodes.*



This Trip’s Theme: Tour of Classic Movies on Sunday.


My Entertainment Score: 8 out 10 laughs


The second half of their Classic Movies on a Sunday trip didn’t disappoint. Their mission to create a new poster image for the show is a success in 2 days, 1 night style of course. But the highlight of the show is the dinner mission, which had my family laughing along with me. 


What Happened


Last Movie: Love Story (start of show- 16:10)

Movie and Game Announcement (start- 4:04)

As with last week, the winner of the game gets to choose the roles each person gets to play for the poster shoot. The available characters are the male lead, the female lead, the snowman the couple makes, tree #1, tree #2 and *drum roll please* HARVARD. Haha. 

The game is based on a famous line from the movie: Love means never having to say you’re sorry. (Boy do I have issues with that line, but it made for a good game so we’ll skip it.) The members had to call someone, anyone they want, and get the other person to say “I’m sorry” so that they can deliver the cringe-worthy line back. The fastest member to receive an apology wins the game.

Game (4:05- )

There are so awesome quotes from these phone calls and the situations themselves are funny.

Picking Characters and Getting into Costumes (13:52- 15:37)

This was done relatively quickly but the results were fantastic.


Photo Shoot (15:37- 16:10)

This was also a quick segment, but funny.


Picking A Poster (16:10- 22:44)

Changing Locations (16:10- 16:31)

Revealing Poster Options (16:31- 20:00)

Each picture was uncovered and the members were allowed to zoom in and check each one. They decided that almost all of them were alright except for the one from Love Story.

Picking a Poster (20:00- 22:44)

The posters were covered and scrambled. The members had to choose one randomly! This was, understandably, a nerve wracking time for the members. In the end, they left the decision up to Junghoon. 


Dinner Game (22:44- 1:00:56)


Game Announcement (22:44- 27:03)

The game is called “You Eat As Much As You Know”. The games are played in 5 rounds. Each round is a different game for a food that is a ‘scene stealer’ in a movie.“Scene-stealing food”...this is a pun in Korean. After each round, the member that wins can eat the scene-stealing food right away. The rest of the members can only watch.


Game (27:03- 1:00:56)

You can tell that this was funny by the sheer length of the segment. Quizzes are not the members strength.


1st Round: Movie Duo Quiz. The members will be given a series of 5 questions. Each question will be a movie with Hwang Jungmin as a main role and the actor that played opposite him. The members have to name the movies based on the two lead actors listed. The reward is fried dumplings which were a ‘scene-stealer’ in the movie Old Boy.

2nd Round: The reward is jokbal (You might know this as braised pig trotters, but I really enjoy saying ‘jokbal’. ). It is another Movie Duo Quiz with Son Yejin and her costars. The PD starts changing the order that she gives out the names in this round and it throws off the members hugely. There was one movie that the members absolutely didn’t know. The PD gave a hint of the first letters of the title and even gave a synopsis of the film, but the members still gave a bevy of random answers. I laughed so hard. 

3rd Round: The reward is tteokbokki. (In English, spicy rice cakes.) The actress featured in this Movie Duo Quiz was Jeon Doyeon.

4th Round: The reward is a cream bun. The members were disheartened by the meagerness of the reward, but then the PD announced that there will be 5 questions and each correct answer will get a cream bun. The questions are emoticons arranged to give the title or plot of a movie. The members have to look at the emoticons and guess the movie they indicate.

5th Round: The reward is ramyeon. The game is to write as many titles as they can from actor Kang Sonho who made the top 25 actors of the 21st century list recently. 


Sleeping and Morning Missions (1:00:57- end of show)


Announcement (1:00:57- 1:03:17)

There is no sleeping game. Everyone will be allowed to sleep indoors. They are going to be given popcorn and soda and allowed to watch the movie “A River Runs Through It”. for the night.

The members were extremely suspicious after the game a couple weeks ago where the first members to fall asleep had to sleep outside, but there really was no game.


Movie and Sleeping Time (1:03:17- 1:06:22)

The members enjoyed their popcorn and slowly fell asleep. It didn’t seem like any of them made it through the whole movie. 


Morning Mission (1:06:22- 1:13:35)

When the morning song rang, the members needed to hurry out, following a path of flags to get to a table where they could read that their mission was a movie quiz about the film that they watched (or fell asleep in the middle of) the previous night. There were 6 possible difficulties for the quiz and they could pick the difficult on a first come, first served basis. The difficulty levels were 1 star, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star, 5 star, and 10 star difficulty. 

They haven’t had a race for a morning mission in a while, so some of the members were pretty shocked by the difficulty level they ended up taking. 


Punishment (1:13:35- end of show)

The 3 losing members of the morning quiz had to jump from a height of 11 meters. A rope was attached to slow their descent. 

This should not have been as funny as it was, but the jumps didn’t go as planned. For starters, they were much slower than the members had originally thought, so all the fear was misplaced. In spite of that, some members continued to be very frightened by the height.


Preview- Rather than a preview, the members gave a New Year’s greeting. I can’t wait to find out what their next trip will be!
