Kissing, camping, and going commando for Youths Over Flowers 1988

by girlfriday

The surprise mashup of Answer Me 1988 and Youths Over Flowers already premieres this coming Friday, which seems like a bit of a whirlwind because we just got done with the Iceland boys and their shenanigans. The back-to-back broadcasts also means there hasn’t been a whole lot of time for promo, but we finally have the first poster for Youths Over Flowers in Africa, along with the extended teaser that was shown at the end of the last episode of the Iceland trip, featuring some pretty epic bromance.

This time, Na PD and crew kidnapped newly-minted It-boys Ryu Joon-yeol, Park Bo-gum, Go Kyung-pyo, and Ahn Jae-hong, aka the Answer Me 1988 boys (minus Lee Dong-hwi, who had to film a movie) at the end of their cast vacation and whisked them away to Namibia. The 10-day off-roading adventure looks truly carefree, with the boys pitching tents wherever they end up and grilling up dinner by the side of the road.

At one point Bo-gum looks upset at the lack of underwear to change into, and Joon-yeol says, “Honestly, we’ve just decided to go without.” Kyung-pyo adds in a serious voice, “Joon-yeol hyung and I are no-panty. If you look behind you, you’ll see them hanging.” Joon-yeol: “If you’re feeling icky, just take them off too.” Cut to: All of them taking off their shorts in the pool. Um, you still need to wear pants though! No underwear means you must be wearing pants!

My favorite part is that Ryu Joon-yeol and Park Bo-gum are especially cuddlesome with one another, giving each other smoochies whenever the mood strikes. Maybe they just know that each kiss is one step closer to healing my broken heart. Orrrr maybe it always should’ve been Jung-hwan and Taek riding off into the sunset together.

Youths Over Flowers in Africa premieres this Friday, February 19.

Why? Why must it be "IN AFRICA" when all the previous ones are "IN (COUNTRY)"?!!?! FYI, Africa is not a country!!!

I was going to say as well! While it's true that some people might not know Namibia is in Africa....still. There was a girl who thought that when my prof was talking about South Africa, he meant the general southern part of Africa. She didn't even know it was a country. In a university level class!

I always really liked that talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Thanks for reminding me about it. :D It applies to a lot of things in life.

These 4 boys are beyond precious. Clearly that they really love each other. Although I haveto ask, is it normal for guys in Korea to kiss each other in the cheeks? Because it is not common in my country. Really curious, please don't get mad at me.

February 15, 2016 at 5:26 AM

I don't think it is big deal in Korea even though kissing could feel a little uncomfortable to the people watching. It is like giving peck to baby or younger brother/sister out of (brotherly, sisterly) affection. I am curious to see what viewers' response would be though (I will be reading). Walking holding hands are very common between friends.

Another example. Some Korean grandpa touched a little boy's private parts out of affection (which is common in Korea with older folks) in California?, and got into a trouble one time.

It's pretty normal for people of the same sex to have PDA with their platonic friends (obvs it's more of a no-go between guys and girls).

Korean guys, from my observations, are totally cool with hugging/glomping and holding hands, almost irregardless of age!

February 15, 2016 at 11:12 AM

Yeah, in Korea, physical affection between same-sex friends is seen as normal (like how it was in Reply 1988). On the contrary, a boyfriend and girlfriend should be careful about PDA.

I think it's common in korea.. i remember watch strong heart where lee teuk and eunhyuk are fixed cast.. and henry as one of the guest.. henry told them story when he 1st came to korea.. when he saw teukie touch the other member butt.. he like " what? Okay... they are gay..." something like that.. but then now he knows.. its a culture.. plus yes me also in my country will find that super awkward!
But why we find it super cute when we saw bromance in korea world? Haha

in my country too, it would be like, it would be so so weird, especially cause for most people here, showing affection translates as "sconsidering saying something nice to another but not really". I have noticed the younger generation getting more extroverted, but it is more that guys and girls can be just friends and be very touchy, but between guys it is more "I smack you over the head really hard that means I almost...um...lo... I mean... not hate you exactly....you...um... maybe...don´t tell anyone."

No PD is just awesome. He is giving some lectures and was asked how he decide who to participate in his show. He said "Nice person (hope he is nice person)" "Camera observes the participant 24/7, so he has to be a nice person, that way viewers can watch them with ease." About picking Lee Seo-jin for Grandpa over flowers, "I asked the senior actors, but they said anyone will do. When I asked their managers, LSJ name came up."

Na PD sure knows what he's doing, this should heal all wounds (Deok-sun who?!) I'm so excited for this season, it sounds like they are all genuinely thankful for the experience! I'm excited to see our boys again.

it's either bogum or Jaehong. because Junyeolie are experienced traveller. and we can see he the driver during the trip. as you know why he's the driver. the driver seat is on the right side (pretty different with Korean car) and manual handling which probably most of them unfamiliar to drive. not to mention this is desert and unfamiliar places for them.

Yess.. #TaekHwan1988 forever! ??? Even eomma Mi-Ran shipped them (cmt during one of the bts clips) & the production majorly teased fans with that fake trailer released only on the official FB pg (implying '88 as a Taekie/JungHwan love story! pfftt) sooo this would definitely be a nice follow-up / form of closure haha.. also, hello extra vidding material! ^__~

Over flowers is a type of docu-vari... where you change the point of dockumentary into variety show. The point which PD Na strongest of. That's why he took the newly-non variety stars to star into it, like LSJ and now the boys. The exception maybe seung gi and yoo he yeol and the gang...
