To ask the hottest Korean drama in 2021, it must be "Penthouse", which has been on fire for three seasons. The story is high-energy dog blood, all the staff crazy criticism of the villain, even if it is an incomprehensible plot, it is also perfectly digested by the actors, and the audience brings the best viewing experience with superb acting skills.
At present, the story of the three seasons of "Penthouse" has all ended, but the audience who are deeply involved in the wonderful plot has obviously not withdrawn from the story and has never stopped discussing the plot. In order to satisfy the audience's enthusiasm for "Penthouse", tvN invited Yan Jijun (Zhu Dantai), Feng Taikui (Kui Zhen), Yin Zhongxun (Dr. Xia) three chaebol boy bands to participate in the rural metamorphosis variety show "Won't Hurt You", which scored a high score of 8.8 as soon as it was broadcast.
This is a slow variety show, similar in form to "Three Hours and Three Meals". The top-floor boy band will start a "farm life" in the countryside to rely on themselves and entertain their friends.
However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very bone. The imagination is a warm courtyard with warm decoration and surrounded by birds and flowers, but in fact, it is a deserted old house that has not been inhabited for 8 years and is full of weeds.
If the mood of the top-floor boy band chatting and watching the scenery along the way during the journey to the old house is a healing MV, then the mood of seeing the "old house that no one has lived in for 8 years" is a horror movie. One second full of joy, the next second of disbelief. The panicked look of the pupil earthquake instantly made the audience laugh.
At this point, the bankruptcy life of the penthouse boy band on the top floor has officially begun, and the whole process of high energy can be said to be a minute to laugh out of the abs is not excessive...
On September 28, "Don't Hurt Me" was broadcast in South Korea. In just one episode, it scored a high score of 8.8, and the Korean Network discussed countless times. The biggest highlight of the variety show is the contrast between the three actors Yan Jijun, Bong Tae-kui and Yin Zhongxun and the three characters of Zhu Dantai, Kui Zhen and Dr. Xia in "Penthouse", and the "hilarious and desolate feeling" of the penthouse chaebol boy band forced to survive in an old house without air conditioning and NO TV.
In the episode, Zhu Dantai, Kui Zhen, and Dr. Xia are three boy bands with exquisite shapes, walking with wind, and once they open their mouths, they are millions of business, which can be described as dragging to the extreme.
Looking back at the miserable state of the three people in the variety show "Won't Hurt You": the eyes are unfocused, the hair is messy, the clothes are wet with sweat due to the long labor of cleaning the room, and the legs are weak and can't walk...
How much people hate in the series, how funny it is in the variety show, and successfully create a full screen contrast and laughter.
As we all know, slow variety show is a very process-oriented variety show, and the audience has long been clear about what to do at what time node. At this time, the "interesting chemistry between the guests" is particularly important: only if the guests are strong enough, the show will be good enough.
And "Won't Hurt You" is such a variety show with very strong guests: someone is responsible for wit and easy to open what looks like a locked door; someone shoulders the responsibility of "managing money", and the iron mask selflessly decides what to buy and what not to buy; and someone is responsible for cooking food, very carefully keeping the long-abandoned old house in good order. Tacit cooperation successfully completed every task assigned by the program team.
At the same time, when the penthouse chaebol boy band participates in the "Rural Metamorphosis", there will also be some unexpected and funny situations.
For example, when roasting meat, the fire is too big, and the smoke is so thick that Feng Taikui can't breathe and is miserable and funny; when the fire is too big and the meat is not cooked, you can only use water to extinguish some fire; or when cooking soup, Yan Jijun put too much water, and put two large basins of water in the soup for three people. It directly leads to Yoon Joong-hoon hypnotizing himself while frantically adding spices and seasoning, "it's delicious", and every minute and second is high energy.
But then again: although the country life is poor and can only rely on itself, the atmosphere presented is still very healing.
Lying in front of the electric fan after hard work and thinking about nothing, concentrating on the comfort of comfortable rest; enjoying the comfort of delicious food after careful cooking; quietly listening to the happiness of the quiet stream around the house. Unconsciously, the busyness of the day was swept away. Looking at the relaxed atmosphere of the three guests on the screen, the audience could not help but sigh that "this is the best way life is".
In addition to the above, the dream linkage in the "Won't Hurt You" variety show and the "Penthouse" episode is also very interesting.
For example, in the episode "Zhu Dantai killed people with a hammer", but in the variety show, it is a humble figure of Yan Jijun who painstakingly nails the mat with a hammer and repairs old furniture, and the contrast is not too interesting.
Another example is the "economic crisis caused by insufficient money" when shopping for daily necessities when going to the supermarket. In the later stage, I understand the audience very well, so I naughtily ridiculed the chaebols from "The Penthouse" that they actually went bankrupt, which made people laugh.
What is more expected is that in the upcoming second episode of the show, Xiulian and twins Zhou Xixun and Zhou Xijing in "The Penthouse" will also come to the old house in the countryside, and Zhou Xijing's actor Han Zhixian also called "Abba" to Yan Jijun.
"Penthouse" Zhu Dantai a whole villain all assembled, what kind of interesting story will be generated in this process? In addition to Zhu Dantai's family, which villains will be expected by the audience in the follow-up program? Let's wait and see
