My Entertainment Score: 2 out 10 laughs
This article was a long time coming, I know. Part of that was the end of the school year and the myriad ways that affected my time. Part of that was a medical saga whereby an anti-rash cream created more rashes thanks to a newly discovered allergy. And a large part of that was that I just didn’t want to have to watch this episode again to write up the article. It was not the thing for me. On the first watch, I actually ended up working on something else while it ran rather than watching actively and laughing. After last week, and knowing that this is the second to last episode for Kwangsoo, I was disappointed.
What Happened:
Theme: Three Meals for Jaesuk
Opening (start of episode- 8:00)
Arrivals and Banter (start of episode- 5:45)
Race Explanation (5:45- 8:00)
The race ends when three meals have been cooked and eaten.
Each member starts the race with one ‘penalty stick’. At the end of the race, there will be a drawing to determine who gets the penalty. The race starts with only one penalty stick getting drawn, but there are conditions that can increase that number.
The lord (Jaesuk) begins the day with 100 ‘cents’. He can pay the servants for their labor or give them coins to buy ingredients for the meals. The lord is not allowed to buy anything for himself. He must give money to a servant (member) and trust them to buy what he demands.
Servants can pay 5 cents to give another member an additional penalty stick or 15 cents to give the lord an additional penalty stick. There are hidden packets with coins or penalty sticks all around the area that the servants can find in order to do that.
If the lord gets 3 penalty sticks, a new lord will be chosen. The new lord will be one of the people that paid to give a penalty stick to the old lord and will be chosen by random drawing. The new lord will be given all the old lord’s coins. Each time this happens, another penalty stick will be drawn at the end of the race.
Regardless of the penalty outcomes, the lord at the end of the race will get a prize and can choose 1 member to also receive a prize.
First Meal (8:00- 29:00)
With much grumbling and few antics, the first meal was made: Korean pancakes and a beef stew.
Second Meal (29:00- 35:24)
Game (29:00- 45:10)
The members played a game where they had to jump into a circle and then out of it. If they landed on another person’s foot, they could draw on they other person’s face. If they fell or on their next turn, failed to get back into the circle on their first jump, they would be out. The final 5 people standing got 5 coins each.
Meal Cooking, etc. (45:10- 1:01:43)
The second course is hotteok. There was some drama in this section if that interests you.
Third Meal (1:01:43- 1:16:27)
The third meal was patbingsu. This segment began with a prank on Seokjin and continued fairly frivolously throughout.
Ending (1:16:27- end of show)
Prizes were handed out and the penalty sticks were chosen. For the penalty sticks, if a person was chosen more than once, that counted...so assuming 9 penalty sticks were drawn, but 9 of them were for Jihyo, she would be the only one to get the penalty.
Preview: Kwangsoo’s Final Episode! The clip looked extremely emotional. Prepare your tears.
