Give the show a shot. One of the things that's persistent is the nicknames and other gags the cast has with each other. One of the older ones at this point is Monday Couple which is starting to bleed into other real life in a way. This show is also really popular all over Asia where it is syndicated so it as massive appeal to everyone.

qbert posted:I agree they should probably put the spy stuff on the back-burner for now. They've used it a bit too often at this point, that everyone is immediately suspicious of everyone else right when the hide-and-seek missions start. Ah yeah, Assassin. I played that in High School with water guns. It was pretty cool since you'd have a dozen people playing and the only safe "zones" were school and work. At one person waiting for another at his bus stop haha.

The Grasshopper nickname is an old one form back when Jae Suk was doing comedy skits in the 90s. It's a common nickname for him so it'll appear often enough in the show with it assumed you know he is called that.

He and Gwang Soo become best pals later. He doesn't have much but he's pretty entertaining usually when they're just hanging around. Unfortunate when the premise of the show is to play games and not hang out.

Speaking of Monday Couple things, on New Years Eve Leessang, which Gary is one of the members of, had a concert and during the song Ji Hyo came out and sang the female portion of this song and Gary the other part. If you read the lyrics it's pretty funny that they did it. The song is apparently banned from appearing on TV before 10pm since it is too lewd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLUhpiIElEY doomisland fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Jan 13, 2012 |

The Korean pop/idol system is really weird from an outsider especially in terminology. In terms of music for example, a "comeback" is really just them releasing another album, and even then it seems most of the time they're only 3 or 4 song albums so they're more of an EP. You could probably have a while thread on the Idol culture over in Korea.

Joong Ki is pretty funny. He seems to be the over confident person as time goes on and doesn't really live up to his boasts so they make fun of him. He's decent in hide and seek as well.

TV Zombie posted:I wonder about the Monday Couple and how much of it is authentic. It doesn't help that Ji Hyo has good chemistry with Jong Kook, Joong Ki and HaHa. Also, in watching later episodes... what happened to Lizzy? They don't even mention or address her absence from the show. Shes became a part of After School and hosts a show I believe which is what she wanted to do from the start.

Late night TV show sets are not big enough to accommodate a 9 person dance routine. That being said they somehow managed to squeeze in there with them running into the house band set once or twice I think. They should have performed outside to congratulate Bill on his FG.

Here is a pretty good video on K Pop that mentions some of the issues. It doesn't really go into it too much but one of the artists they interview talks about how she wished she could call her family. http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/101east/2012/01/201212673348120626.html ( I don't believe this has been posted yet )

TV Zombie posted:To echo the same sentiments...who knows? The idea was bandied about at the Jail in the end but Gwang Soo said that this would have made the game too complicated with a betrayal on top of betrayal on top of betrayal though I wouldn't put it past the PDs to have planned this. I believe they've referenced The Usual Suspects before so the PDs having him do that at the end either implies he didn't know and they're just loving with everyone or Gary did know and decided to do that himself. Someone should tweet at Gary about this

Lyer posted:General question about Korea, just how big is the country? I've noticed that the cast fly alot to get around the country. Is it mostly done to save time for filming or is it really cumbersome to get around by driving? It is really small, by land mass it is as big as Indiana/Kentucky. I popped in driving directions from Seoul to Busan, two major cities relatively on opposite ends of the country, and the driving time is 3.5 hours, or a long day trip.

amaranthine posted:Considering the somewhat creepy obsessiveness that seems to come with K-pop fan culture, I'm genuinely surprised that Kim Kwang Soo hasn't had his legs broken over some of the poo poo he's done. He seems like the most vile man in entertainment.  Ever since the news broke that popular girl group T-ara would be adding an eighth member, Dani, to their ranks, it has been a hot topic of discussion among both fans and the general public. Core Contents Media, T-ara’s parent company, recently revealed how the young American became the newest member of the group. “Dani was cast on the street by Kim Kwang Soo,” said a representative for CCM. “It was his first streetside casting in his 30-year-long career in entertainment.” Dani, who has lived in the United States since she was four years old, had been visiting Korea to meet her parents. After seeing her standing at a crosswalk, Kim Kwang Soo turned his car around when thoughts of her wouldn’t leave his head, CCM revealed. Although having no prior experience in singing or acting nor any desire to become a singer, CCM was confident that they had discovered an unpolished jewel. Street castings, although popular ten years ago, have fallen out of favor – with auditions being the preferred method of selecting new trainees. Meanwhile, Dani, saying “I don’t want to be a burden to the T-ara unnies”, has pushed back her debut from July to December. She will have an acting role in the new music video for T-ara, slated to be released sometime in July.

Soft subs are so nice, but it seems the Korean show scene is about ads and poo poo. I think they pay people to translate them or thats the impression I'm getting. Their distribution model is really poor.

The staff needs to recover I'm sure since they're just as busy if not more so than the stars. The VJ's have to not only run around all day but on the two day ones be up early and be ready to film when whomever wakes up.
