Grandpas Over Flowers goes to Paris

Here’s a sneak peek at Na PD’s new variety show Grandpas Over Flowers, with stills from the cast’s first trip to Paris. I didn’t know what to expect with a cast full of veteran actors, but in the show’s first teaser clip, the 70-year old maknae grandpa gets schooled by his hyungs. No seriously.

They order him to make them coffee, and he throws a tantrum that he won’t… only to do it anyway in the end. HA. It’s a surprise, but now I’m admittedly more interested in the show, knowing it won’t just be the Adventures of Four Polite Gentlemen. Plus with ex-1 Night 2 Days evil overlord Na PD around, there will be suffering and bonding for the enjoyment of all, no?

The new travel variety program will take the cast of four veteran actors all over Europe, and will bring guest younguns along on some of their journeys. Actor Lee Seo-jin (Kye Baek) joined them on their inaugural trip to Paris, which should be a hoot. (Remember his guest stint on 1N2D’s Friend Special?) I can imagine it’s a daunting prospect to travel with these four grandpas, but it cracks me up that in the stills it looks like Na PD has to literally drag his ass over there to meet them.

Here’s our introduction to the main cast:

Mat-hyung Lee Soon-jae (Childless Good Fortune, The King 2 Hearts): “Has the image of a father hurling words of thunder. Stubborn, but humane, with cute charm. Grandpa Number One. Flower Gramps Leader.”

Second hyung Shin Gu (Hundred Year Inheritance, Feast of the Gods): “Behind his intelligence is hiding a quirkiness. Grandpa Number Two, who bickers with the mat-hyung. Flower Gramps Cutie.”

Third hyung Park Geun-hyung (The Chaser, King of Dramas): “Professional bad guy, overflowing with charisma. But is the world’s cheeriest Grandpa Number Three. Flower Gramps Mood-maker.”

Maknae Baek Il-sub (Be Strong Mr. Kim, Ojakkyo Brothers): “One day, from dependable national father to sudden maknae. Grandpa Number Four. Flower Gramps Tantrum-throwing Maknae.”

Cute. Grandpas Over Flowers will premiere July 5 on tvN.

In years to come... it will be interesting to do a piece on the evolution of Korean varieties... (was not acquainted with K Culture earlier than that...)Starting with the those crazy games show like X Man, Love Letter and with reality shows like Family Outing, 1N2D, Running Man...

Bunches of talk show... Ya shi manman, to Win Win to Strong Heart to Healing Camp...

And in terms of cuteness, I guess apart from Dad Where Are You Going now, from the junior spectrum, this show is going to win from the senior spectrum...

I think the idea of this is brilliant and hope Na PD have a lot up his sleeves.

Can't wait to see them with mind boggling mission and prolly scold Na PD with the whole... "I am older than you... I am your sunbae" or the internal bullying among the harabojis, "ya ya ya... YOU DO IT!!"

If this is the concept, I hope they get paired with younger co stars that they worked before as guest. That will be fun to see...

Hopefully it get subbed!

This is so Korean! No matter how old u r, there still is the pecking order. The maknae is always at the bottom end of the totem pole. This is what makes Korea! Not many non Koreans understand this. This is why this show will be so hilarious!

Haha, Na PD would come up with a show about grandpas. He's such a old soul himself. I know this is morbid, but I started thinking how awful it'd be if someone passed away. Hopefully, they're all in good health for Na PD's shenanigans!

Can anyone tell me where and when this show will be broadcasted and whether subtiting in English is likely? I would love to view it, having seen some of these gentlemen in dramas and to see the 1st episode interaction with LSJ.
