*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
This show, in writing, doesn’t sound that funny, but it never fails to have me giggling. This week, the members' goofy sides were given complete freedom as they played games and took on characters from classic movies. Puns and play acting were the spice of the show and I was shocked to realize I had gotten to the end when the preview came on.
What Happened:
Opening (start of show- 11:00)
Member greetings (start- 6:00)
Seyoon returned and the guys all chatted and teased each other.
Trip Concept Announcement (6:00- 11:00)
The plan is to focus on winter movies. Over the course of the trip, they will be looking at various movies and playing missions to see which characters from those movies they will dress up as. They will take a photo for each movie (as well as one in the suits they wore for the opening...so glad to have that question cleared up from last week’s preview) and there will be a vote at the end of the day to decide which photo will be the official 2 Days, 1 Night poster image for 2021.
Suit Photo Shoot (11:00- 13:50)
All of the photo shoots are condensed to the most amusing moments and snapshots on screen of potential photo options later. The members take the shoot seriously, but still have fun every time and I laughed during all of them.
First Movie: Edward Scissorhands (13:50- 43:00)
Changing Locations (13:50- 18:00)
I love the way this show allows us to ride along with them and lets them chat. It feels like you’re on a family road trip and you learn about the members in a relaxed way. The members chatted about movies, specifically their earliest movie memories, as they drove to the next location. Their destination is a frozen waterfall and they’re told to put on climbing irons (spiked shoes) as they arrive!
Movie and Game Announcement (18:00- 22:40)
The winner of the game will get to choose the role everyone else takes. Characters available for the members to dress as for the poster: Edward Scissorhands, the female lead, female lead’s boyfriend, female lead’s mom, a villainous neighbor, and a dinosaur bush (because that’s what Edward made for a topiary in the movie).
The name of the game is “Scissorhands Is Getting Ready For Work”! The members will have to wear gloves with extremely long extensions on each finger and pass through 3 tasks: putting on clothes, eating breakfast, and having a drink of water. The members are disappointed to learn that breakfast is 5 tiny tomatoes and 5 small sausages. They are only required to eat one of each to pass that task. Two members will play at a time. The fastest time, no matter the round, is the winner of the game.
Game (22:40- 27:36)
Round 1: Seonho v. Ravi. Round 2: Junghoon v. Dindin. Round 3: Jongmin v. Seyoon. This went faster than I expected, but didn’t lack for entertainment.
Picking Characters (27:26- 35:15)
Watch this part if you watch nothing else from the Edward Scissorhands section. The competition for roles that have easy costumes is fierce and hilarious.
Getting into Costume (35:15- 38:50)
The members are in charge of their own make-up and hair...no stylists help them. Seyoon does most of the work this time and teaches the other members along the way. Everyone forgets about the poster and has a great time making themselves up into their characters, sometimes becoming more caricature than character.
Photo Shoot (38:50- 43:00)
Second Movie: Harry Potter (43:00- 1:19:23)
Changing Locations (43:00- 46:30)
The members chatted about movies again, specifically their all time favorites, as they drove to the next location. They arrive at Platform 9 ¾!
Movie and Game Announcement (46:31- 51:20)
Characters available: Harry Potter, Hermoine, Ron Weasley, Hagrid, Dumbledore, and Hedwig! Haha!!
This will be the lunch game for the members. Lunch is “the Hogwarts Set”, which is Western inspired menu with rotisserie chicken, tomato beef stew, clam chowder, lasagna, and sweet desserts.
The name of the game is *drum roll* “Platform Barrier Break”! Members will have to choose one of 6 panels and run into them. Each is made to look like a brick wall, but 3 are just styrofoam that the members can pass through easily. The others are solid. The 3 members that choose a passable panel will be the 3 main characters of the movie, can choose characters for the other members, and will eat lunch. The members will proceed one at a time as follows: Dindin, Ravi, Jongmin, Seonho, Seyoon, Junghoon.
Game (51:20- 59:03)
For such a simple game, they managed to fit a lot into the segment. There was a betrayal, a disproven theory about a spell, and a wall malfunction.
Lunch (59:04- 1:11:50)
The members that won didn’t even know the names of some of the foods they were eating, but they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The losing members were given porridge and jelly beans. They attempted to perform magic tricks for the winners to get bites of the Hogwarts feast. The results of that effort were varying. The jelly beans for the losers turned out to be all kinds of gross flavors, like the bean boozled game. All the members took turns with the gross jelly beans to identify the flavors.
Getting into Costume (1:11:50- 1:15:45)
The members mostly take care of their own costumes this time.
Photo Shoot (1:15:45- 1:19:23)
