Variety Review: 2Days, 1Night, Season 4- Episode 118 pt 2- 120 Isn’t It Nice in Gurye? trip
*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: trip
My Entertainment Score: overall 7 out 10 laughs
Episode 118 pt 2 was an 8 for me. It was mostly a guest introduction, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Episode 119 was a 6 for me. I loved watching Junghoon with his wife. Couple goals. But there wasn’t a ton of gaming in this episode and I missed that.
Episode 120 was an 8 for me. This had the most games of all this trip’s episodes.
What Happened:
Opening (44:50 of episode 118- end of episode 118)
The members arrive dressed for a Spring date…I always love the fashion openings. They’re told a female guest is coming and, after many many guesses, they are surprised by Gain. They chat to welcome her and then teams are formed: Youn Junghoon team vs Gain team. Gain gets Seyoon, Ravi, and Inwoo. Junghoon gets Jongmin and Dindin.
Lunch Game: Charades (start of episode 119- 37:34)
Travel (start of episode- 20:00) - Lots of chat about Junghoon and Gain’s meeting and dating.
Game (22:26- 30:17)
Lunch (30:17- 50:40) There was 4 minutes travel time at the start of this section.
Travel and Rest (50:40- 1:03:03)
Dinner Game (1:03:03 of ep 119- 35:20 of ep 120)
The dinner game was played as a mini-game bingo (or tic tac toe). The team that got bingo would get dinner. Each of the nine spaces had a different mini game.
#2- The strawberry game (ep. 119)
#6- darts (ep. 119)
#5- Dibi Dibi Dip (ep. 120)
#9- Rolling a Can (ep. 120)
#8- Keyword Karaoke (ep. 120) -They are given a word and they must raise their hand and sing a line from a song that features that word.
#7- Random Game (ep. 120) -They had to find the cup of water WITHOUT salt in it.
#3- Gonggi (ep. 120)
Dinner (19:42- 35:20)
Sleeping Game (35:20- 57:35)
The members play a game of “Golden Bell”- a quiz game where everyone answers the same question at the same time (by writing it on a board). Regardless of team, the number of people who will sleep outside is determined by the BEST score on any question. So, if they all answer just 1 question correctly together, they will all sleep indoors. On the other hand, if their best question has only 2 people getting the correct answer, then only 2 people get to sleep indoors. The lowest scorers are who will be sleeping outdoors IF anyone has to sleep outdoors.
Sleeping - 52:27
Morning Mission (57:35- end of episode)
There is no morning mission! The members go to a nearby green tea farm and enjoy a breakfast there before going home. Junghoon and Gain are given a separate gazebo for a mini-date before they head home to their kids.
Preview: A trip to test their luck….yes, please! Or wait…is it a trip that is lucky because it’s so smooth and easy? Come on, preview! Don’t do this to me!
