EPISODE 352. Broadcast on September 18, 2011. girlfriday: Wow this viewer’s tour is lasting forever. Not that I’m complaining, because it’s adorable. But the boys are on their best behavior because of all the elders, so there’s less misbehavin’ afoot. javabeans: I think I read that they decided to add the fourth ep when... More »

1 Night 2 Days: Episode 351
The Viewer Tour special continues (but does not yet conclude)! In this segment, we’re shown that even simple things like feeding and transportation can be a laborious effort, although surely it doesn’t help when there’s a nefarious PD at the helm, bokbulbok-ing his way through everything. The massive ensemble makes its way from Yeoeuido to... More »

Variety Roulette: Strong Heart
So 1 Night 2 Days is ending soon, which happens just as I was getting into this whole variety world, which is so close and yet so far from the world of scripted television.

1 Night 2 Days: Episode 349
It’s the viewer tour special, part 2! I don’t know how many episodes this is going to span, but I suspect the official number will be: a crap-ton.
