In 2018, the first season of the Korean secret room puzzle variety show "The Great Escape" was broadcast, and with its meticulous plot setting and the hilarious guest puzzle atmosphere, it won a high score of 9.3.
Since then, The Great Escape has maintained the rhythm of one season a year. The unit plot is getting more and more exciting, and the running-in between the guests is becoming more and more tacit. It is logical to become one of the tvN god-level variety shows.
Recently, this show has returned.
The premiere rating was 3%, successfully surpassing the average rating of the previous season of 2.83%, and won the "Variety Show Rating Champion of the Same Period".
The original class of Ma Jiang Hudong, Prodigy, Yoo Byung-jae, Kim Dong-hyun, Kim Jong-min, P.O returned, and the sense of variety show was full of light standing there to make people feel funny.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > title: The Great Escape Season 4. </h1>
This return story connects with the last episode of the third season, "Back to Beijing", which is related to traveling through time and space.
The key person is "Dr. King", who made the time machine. In the process of traveling through time and space, modern advanced technology is used to lead people to get rid of poverty and become rich in ancient times.
However, the sinister and kind Dr. Kim is used, imprisoned, and even about to be burned at the stake by the villain "Yang Zhiyuan", and is in a very dangerous situation.
In the last episode of the third season, in 1919, the members led by Jiang Hudong learned of his plight from "Dr. Kim's Letter".
In the fourth season of this return, the members embark on a journey to rescue Dr. King, traveling from modern times to distant antiquity. Can Dr. King be successfully rescued? What kind of difficulties will members encounter in traveling through time and space? One suspense point after another and the point of view hit, so that the audience can't wait to know the development of the follow-up story...
On July 11, the fourth season of The Great Escape returned.
In just two weeks, he scored a high score of 9.3.
I thought that in the third season, the program team built the ancient city of 1919, which was big enough, but I did not expect that this season of the show directly built a "kingdom called Yahan".
All the bricks and tiles in the kingdom are made, and all the NPCs are wearing the clothes of that era. Almost instantaneously, the audience is brought into the plot, and the unit story that takes place in the show is more empathetic.
As the name suggests, the show focuses on "Escape".
In the two premiere episodes of this season, members need to help Dr. King escape from prison and help him escape from distant antiquity back to modern times.
In the process, the members encounter one difficulty after another obstacle, and again and again look for clues from the door lock props and secret signs to solve the puzzle, thus rendering a kind of "breaking the game" pleasure.
For example, in the first episode, members needed to "open the gates of the blockade".
The doors are covered with different sizes and pitches, and the layout is irregular. The surrounding area is even more deserted, and there are not even many props that may be clues.
But the members who have been playing for four seasons are not small whites. Although there was a brief confusion, he still deduced that "there must be an answer hidden in the tiger picture scroll on the wall."
The process of revealing the secret is not a spoiler, but what can be told is that the atmosphere of "the cycle is getting closer and closer to the truth" is really too good to create! Looking at it, I couldn't help but tense up with everyone on the screen, afraid that the last password would be wrong.
When they are engrossed in solving the puzzle, the members are full of charm.
But as soon as the surrounding atmosphere begins to relax, it will become a comma one by one.
One second, P.O was still handsome in the screen, and the next second he was scared into an emoji by npcs that suddenly rushed out of the doorway. In the end, he burped for more than 20 minutes in a row because he was frightened.
In the later stage, it is not a big deal, one by one to help P.O count how many hits, it is really tragic and funny.
Kang Ho-dong, south Korean ace variety show name is worthy of the name.
When solving puzzles, it seems that they are serious about the answer, but in fact, "the idiot movement of the hand is always faster than the brain", and often accidentally touches the props.
Influenced by Jiang Hudong, the other younger brothers among the members also began to deliberately highlight their own strength, and they were anxious to hit the screen with "please don't push the props again" in the later stage, which instantly made the audience laugh.
What's more, there are the members and the program group in the program who are always in a state of mutual pity.
One time when the members were stuck in solving the puzzle, they spent a lot of time and were very panicked, so they comforted themselves that we still had a lot of time. The next second, the subtitles hit "You have no time" on the public screen.
I thought it was the program team that won, but I didn't expect that the next puzzle session members began to motivate themselves again-
"If we don't leave in five hours, we'll die!"
This competitive spirit, for a while really can't tell who wins and who loses.
Of course, in addition to solving the puzzles and being funny, the fourth season of "The Great Escape" has not forgotten the shaping of a meticulous plot.
For example, there is an entanglement of interests between Dr. Jin and the villain Yang Zhiyuan who needs to be rescued by everyone, and there is an inextricable relationship between Yang Zhiyuan and the members.
Many of the plots in the show, seemingly unrelated, are actually closely related, but it is not yet the time to finally reveal the secret. Chasing it all the way down is as suspenseful as watching a suspense drama, which is very interesting.
It is worth mentioning that because the worldview in the fourth season of "The Great Escape" is very grand, and it needs to be connected to the previous season to help the audience who has not seen the plot understand the plot. The first episode of the premiere was a bit slow, and the second episode gradually returned to its original rhythm. Don't miss it because of this
